Yeah, so, I enjoyed. A lot. I need to see it again before I can do much more than giggle or swoon over Orlando as much as it kind of pains me to admit I WANT TO MARRY WILL TURNER there I said it.
Anyway. Pirates is awesome.
In other media news! I highly recommend the following TV series:
-Doctor Who (new series)
I started watched last weekend and ended up mainlining nearly three complete seasons. It is corny and fabulous and very British. There are aliens!! And time travel! Shakespeare! ALL AT THE SAME TIME. I love this show, it is hilarious and campy and well, aliens!
-Robin Hood (also new BBC series!)
I lovelovelove this show. I watched about 8 episodes in one day this week. It has awesome dialog, great scenery, hilarious anachronisms - such as Robin's hoodie, Robin is both adorable and hot and tricksy and has good intentions, Marian is badass and cool and also quite tricksy herself, the Sheriff is completely crazy, and his henchman is brooding mystery man with political subtext its all quite lovely.
-and I'll toss out Supernatural again, because I've been watching my DVDs -> ghost hunting, sarcastic banter, DEAN AND SAM ARE AMAZING. Really just watch it, even if horror stuff isn't your thing - it certainly isn't mine, but I love this show to bits.
-OH AND LOST, I have mixed feelings about the season finale but I am definately still hooked! The little trick at the end with Surprise! It Is The Future! was a great twist. Kind of peeved about Charlie, but it wasn't like it was a shock. Oh, I did like Sayid breaking that guy's neck with his feet though, that was hardcore.
