After 11 years of hoping, wishing, dreaming that I’d one day meet Johnny Depp, I had finally given up when the Pirates of the Caribbean junket went to somebody else. Somebody who doesn’t work in the office no less. If only the bitch that signs all my claims wasn’t so farky I would have gone for it. But then again, Johnny Depp wasn’t going to participate in the junket so that’s some solace for me there, but still, I haven’t gotten a single one of those movie junkets since I was FORCED TO JOIN SOMETHING I HAVE ALWAYS HATED.

Yes I’m whining but it’s my right. Maybe I’m just a scorned woman like the fury that hell hath (thanks Jack!). If you’re already annoyed with me, scroll down. 

I am so re-in-love with .

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End ROCKS! I loved it. I love Johnny and his clones, I love Johnny’s long-lost relative, I love the monkey, the goat, the parrot, the crabs, the barnacles and the rum. Yes, there’s always rum.

Ah Fat-ko, or Chow Yun-Fat as Hollywood spells his name, was a little underused I felt, but you do feel the impact. He spoke Cantonese in the film though… As a Singaporean character, shouldn’t he be speaking er, Mandarin or Hokkien??? Hehe. Well, they never really mentioned that he was FROM Singapore, just that he was IN Singapore. In any case, wasn’t Singapore still known as Temasek then???

Ah, but, my dear friends, these questions won’t come to you while you’re watching it, so don’t worry. "It’s just my neh-chore."

What I didn’t like about the movie was the "Attack of the 50-foot Woman" scene. Seemed like an anti-climax to me.

Oooh, and, and, and, if you’re planning to get any CDs this week, get the Pirates soundtrack. That haunting "Yo-Ho" song (as opposed to the hippity-hoppity Yo, HOE!… haha private joke, move along) will keep playing in your head after the film’s over. AND, if you had been planning to buy the latest LP album, chuck that idea and buy the Pirates soundtrack instead.

Oh AND, please don’t walk out of the cinema RIGHT after because there’s kinda like a surprise thing about five to 10 minutes after the credits roll. Nothing much lah, some say that one also anti-climactic, but for me, it was fine.

For those of you who love Orlando Bloom, I can assure you you’ll wet your pants towards the end of the show when the goody-two-shoes Will Turner transforms into a new man with a bandana (is it bandanna? who cares!). I’m not a big fan of Bloom’s Will Turner, though I do love his Legolas (it’s the long, blonde hair thing, weird, I know), but dang, I gotta say that boy’s got the goods to play a rough-and-tumble kind of guy! Woohoo! 

FYI, this is BEFORE his transformation.

Hamana hamana hamana….

I swoon, you swoon, we all swoon…

Tomorrow morning I’ll be watching Shrek the Third. A colleague said it’s "okay-lah only" but then again, a bad film at the cinema is better than a good day at the office, ba-da-bing!
