Piratical Interlude...

Forgot to mention: my dissatisfaction with Byron moved me to go to the cinema. Toss-up between Pirates of the Caribbean 3 and Shrek the Thrird... (Ok, ok, I can hear the groans from here!).

Pirates won - simply cos it was the next showing. Well, actually, it was a lot of fun. COMPLETELY over the top of course - Jonny Depp and Orlando Bloom seem ideally suited for that, as well as the girl, whose name totally escapes me!

It's all wonderful tosh of course, with some amazing special effects (but then what film doesn't these days?) and lots of tongues firmly in cheeks. At one point, after one of JD's more daring escapes, one of the characters even asks: 'Do you think he has it all planned out, or does he just make it up as he goes along?' One rather suspects the latter...
