Bummerfest....

Once a year I venture down to Summerfest on the lake front to bum around. Some people go crazy for Summerfest and go each of the 10 days it is held here. I really couldn't care less about it but go once a year because it is nice to walk around outside drinking beer. I decided to go last night with a group of friends and got enough material for a year's worth of ranting but decided to condense it into one blog.

  • Don't wear your sunglasses when it is dark outside, you look like a schmuck. You would be surprised with the number of meat heads that wear their sunglasses at 10 p.m.
  • If you're standing right next to a girl she's with you, I get it, there's no need to constantly grope her and feel her up in public. Was standing behind this douchebag that was constantly putting his hand all over this girl he was with, was getting obscene.
  • Keep your shirt on. There is no reason for grown men to walk around without a shirt on, it is not that hot.
  • When in the bathroom, just go to the bathroom. There is no reason to hoot and holler like you are at a strip club. Some of us are not as drunk as you and just want to use the bathroom and leave.
  • When in public there is always a chance that there are families and children around, act appropriately. There is no reason to swear every other word and talk like a sailor when their are children around.
  • If you can't dance, don't dance. Most people can't dance.
  • There is no reason to to yell at people from a moving cab. Be a man and step out of the cab and say whatever you thought was so hilarious so it can be heard and we can see who is saying it. And its really not that witty or funny anyway.
  • $15 is way too much for the right to enter the park and walk around and drink $4 beers.
  • You're not as charming as you think, and she's probably not even 18 dude.

Idiot Managers

Larry Harris is quickly giving himself the reputation of being the Ned Yost of NBA General Managers. Don't get me wrong the NBA is dead to me but every so often I come up for air to see if the NBA has done anything to redeem itself, not yet it hasn't.

I tuned into the NBA draft to watch and get a good sense of which new over-paid man-giant will do something stupid and be out of the league (either banned, or injured out ala Jason Williams). By guess is Joakim Noah, that guy was an arrogant prick in college, wasn't the best player on his team but thought he was, and refused to work out for many teams. (Plus he was wearing a brown bow tie on draft night)

Back to the idiot Larry Harris. That guy has done nothing positive for the franchise since gaining the reigns. I don't even know how was given the position, with no experience as GM or as coach, I guess because he is Dell Harris' son, woopdie-doo-da.

Why in god's name would you draft someone who is over-rated and has said he refuses to play here. As someone put it. "he is the (Chinese) Shawn Bradley. They play a different game over in China (if you don't play how they tell you they kill your family) and that doesn't usually correlate over to the American game. Look at Yao Ming, he's good but no where near what they though he would be coming over from China a few years back. PLus the major point is that this guy refused to come here for a workout and even told the Bucks not to draft him. Why would you want someone to play for you that does not want to be there. Thats like a company trying to hire someone that does not want to work for you, and even didn't fill out an application.

So it remains the same, the NBA is still dead to me, and now Larry Harris has joined those ranks and is dead to me. Congrats!

5 car pile up

Yesterday here in Milwaukee it was hot, but not unbelievably hot. I think the high temperature was 84, nothing crazy. I was driving on the freeway and I have no A/C in my car, so I had the windows down, and it is still obviously quite hot. Then I see a guy driving really fast on a Harley with no helmet or no shirt. Wisconsin is the only genius state that does not have a helmet law for motorcycles. I guess we figure that if someone is dumb enough to ride a motorcycle without a helmet, whatever happens, happens. But this guy was such a genius that he decided he didn't even need a shirt, and was even going to drive extra fast. One missed place pebble on the road or quick brake lights and this guy is a goner, with no real chance. Well if Darwin was tight this guy would have run into a 5 car pile up a bit later on the freeway.

Who's laughing now....

I really don't care for peanut butter, and really can't eat it. I'm not allergic and break out in hives when I eat, I just feel noxious and sick when I eat it. Growing up everyone always laughed at me for not eating peanut butter sandwiches in my lunch (they also laughed at me for other reasons). I actually usually brought braunschweiger sandwiches to eat. Kids couldn't believe that a 9 year0old would eat liver sausage with a fancy name.

Now it turns out that peanut butter can carry salmonella and the FDA has recalled a bunch of it. I didn't even know that peanut butter could carry salmonella, I thought it was meat based (must be protein based). So all you fools can go putting your life at risk and eat possibly contaminated salmonella, I'll be right here with by braunschweiger.

Shoot yourself now....

If you are one of the few Orioles fans left, you might want to sit down. The Orioles are eying Dusty Baker for their next manager. Have they been living under a rock for the past 6 years? Did they not see how he single-handedly destroyed the Cubs each year and for years to come. Dusty Baker makes Ned Yost look like Red Auerbuch. All that guy does it chew on a toothpick during the game and over pitch his best prospects. What could they possibly be thinking? There must be over 100 better candidates out there. Hell, my mom is sitting at home, not coaching, she would be better. If he gets hired, thats gonna give me a lot of new material. Excellent.....

You unoriginal bastard

All over ESPN last night and today were highlights from the Orioles game of money falling from the sky. A bunch of singles were falling from somewhere and all the fans and players were picking them up and laughing about it throughout the game. It turns out that there was a "big-timer" sitting in a luxury box who threw a bunch of singles out of the box into the stands. He thought it was hilarious.

It would be hilarious, if he had thought of it first. Last year a group of us went to a ballgame at Miller Park on a Saturday. We were playing a game in which we passed around a cup and either put money in, or took money out, depending on what the batter did when you had the cup. At the end of the game, after one of many Derrick Turnbow's implosions, my buddy "Snowman" threw the cup with about $7 in out over the edge. People around us couldn't believe that we would throw money around like that. We told them, "thats how we roll..." Somehow we didn't get on ESPN for that, but this second-act wannabe does, WTF? Get your own material buddy.

Now if Snowman would actually get his own blog, this is exactly something he could blog about....

Too Sad For Cake

This week's award goes to Pacman Jones for turning the term "overpaid man-giant" into new territory. This guy may be the stupidest man walking the earth currently (stupidest man, obviously Paris Hilton is the stupidest woman). I mean this guy "made it," he was a highly paid NFL player, was an a good, young team, and had a bright future. Then his natural idiotic self comes through.....

Here are some highlights of his legal career courtesy of wikipedia.org:
As of March 2007, Jones has been arrested five times and questioned by police ten times since he was drafted by the Titans in 2005. Many NFL commentators are quick to point out that Jones has more arrests than interceptions since being in the NFL. Charged with assault, missing probation meetings, disorderly conduct, public intoxication, spitting on a female student at a nightclub, slamming the head of a stripper onto the stage, obstruction of justice, multiple drug arrests, and now felony attempted murder.

At what point does something trigger in your head that "maybe I should change my lifestyle?" The NFL suspended him without pay for a year, and he still didn't get his act together. He is now running around with an "entourage" whom have weapons, and telling them to open fire on people. Come on. I run around with an "entourage," The VanBuren Boys, and they are pretty hard core. But, I don't tell them to open fire on people, they are allowed to make those type of decisions on their own.

Pacman Jones: Too Sad For Cake

I missed your logic....

I was at a meeting for work on Wednesday and they provided us with lunch. They got a bunch of individual subs from some catering company. They got enough food for 50 people I would guess. I went up for two subs even, and still the organizers were trying to get me to eat thirds. This was only lunch and they had already provided us with donuts for breakfast.

This guy sitting next to me went up for four trips and said his logic was, "There are starving people all over the world, I should eat me, and not waste this food." How is you gorging yourself to almost being sick going to help feed the starving in the world? So if you eat more, you get so full you forget about the starving people everywhere? Its not like this food we don't eat will magically make its way to a third world country and feed the hungry. Even if it did make it to those who need it, wouldn't you want to eat less than?

People have been saying for years, and often tell their kids, that they should eat up because there are so many starving people in the world. To me this logic is asinine, and makes no sense. I agree that the world's hunger problem is a huge problem, but instead of gorging ourselves because we don't want to waste any food, how about we don't spend so much money on so much food, and instead send money and food to those who need it.

Entertain Me Damnit

Went to the Brewers ball game last night to just sit back and relax on a Monday night. I would say "on a beautiful Monday night," but is was pouring and was far from beautiful. Everyone at the ballgame was enjoying themselves and it was a good game. The Brewers won, some good pitching, hitting, and fielding, and it was a close game. The odd things was there were two people there that for them that wasn't enough, they needed further entertainment.

There was a teenager (probably around 16) that was playing Grand Theft Auto on a PS2. Why bring something so expensive to a ball game, where something could happen to it. There is something seriously wrong with you if you can't even sit at a ballgame for 3 hours and watch a baseball game. He was there with a couple of his friends and they were all staring at his playing the game instead of watching the Brewers win. There was a full-grown man with a laptop, yes a laptop. God knows what he would need a computer at a ball game for. Keep in mind it was down-pouring, and I don't know how he kept it dry on his way from the car.

These people need to strongly consider how they use their leisure time. The Milwaukee Brewers appreciate their $13 ticket, but if you are just going to sit there doing other things during the game, why bother. You can sit at home and have the same affect, but cheaper. You may also want to get tested to see why you don't have the attention to sit around and watch a 3 hour game of baseball.

Who are the ad wizards who came up with that one?

The mighty Bob Barker retired from The Price is Right and the young age of 83. Now there will be discussions and rumors of who is going to be replacing him for a while. Those speculated and auditioned include John O'Hurley and Todd Newton of E! Entertainment. I personally think John O'Hurley would be awesome. He is very personable, naturally funny and I believe women would love him similar to Bob Barker.

Now there is a report that Bob Barker would endorse Rosie O'Donnell as the new host. WTF? That would be the worst decision in the history of mankind. She would turn that shows into a sinking ship. No one likes that woman. Men despise her and women can't stand her. Who would run onto stage and kiss Rosie for a $100??? (Maybe $10 million) People would run on stage trying to choke her maybe, but not kiss her. She would turn that show into a soapbox for her "agenda" in which she preaches to the viewers and bashes America. Rosie may be the most annoying person in the history of mankind, and the entertainment industry should make a pact that no one gives her any more television time, and force her to only make more Flintstones movies with the Baldwin brothers.

I think I smell a rat.....

Great song by the White Stripes, not cool of a coworker.

So today is our last day of being paid by Milwaukee Public Schools, our contract starts back up on August 30th. There are no kids left at all, grades are all online, most cleaning is done. What to do today?? Well, its been a long year so a nice teacher decided to arrange a BBQ picnic for all staff. Awesome, some beers, burgers, laughs, and great weather. Everyone interested paid there money for it all , he called the park and reserved some benches and what not, and no one brought a lunch because we'll be cooking out. Sweet!!

Then, we have a meeting this morning for all of staff. She thanks us for a great year; yada, yada, yada. She then proceeds to tell us that she received a phone call from Central Offices saying that a staff member called them and said, "the principal is allowing everyone to go to their lunch hour, have a picnic, and not come back." (Our day officially ends at 3:45 according to contract.) So now she tells us that everyone must be here until 3:45 no exceptions, but we can still have our hour lunch at noon.

Who in their right mind would do that? Call in and rat everyone out? Come on? The outside world has certain things they do to these people. Imagine if this person were in prison and they did something similar to this?

Then our principal just went on the loudspeaker saying she worked some things out and we can all take our lunch break and 2:45 and not come back. Thanks, I think?? Now we can have a shortened, later picnic. But, no one brought a lunch and we can't take a lunch break either. I also have literally nothing to do today except sit in my room doing some serious Interneting. I swear edgrimley, if this was your doing, you're going to be on my list.

Ratting out your co-workers; TOO SAD FOR CAKE.

You're seriously going to sit there?

I went to see a movie last night (Once) at the Oriental theater. The movie was good, a bit too emo for many I'm sure (perfect for me). It was about a street musician that hides behind his music. Instead of going to win back his girl, he stands on the street corner and sings about her. Instead of making a record and becoming successful, he plays at night when no one can hear him. Then the story advances from there. (Awesome soundtrack as well)

Back to the ranting.... The Oriental is one of the few theaters left that does not have stadium seating. We sit down when the lights are still on, and the theater is about 10-15% filled. Less than a minute later a couple walks in and sits directly in front of us. They could have sat in any of about 200 seats, but no. They must have made a conscious decision, "Let's sit directly in front of these nice people so they can't see a thing." Immediately after they sat down, the house lights turned off. We then had to get up and move back a row so we could enjoy the movie.

I think most people are a combination of: dumb, stupid, oblivious, selfish, ignorant, brainless, dazed, deficient, dense, dim, dodo, doltish, dopy, dotterel, dull, dumb, dummy*, foolish, futile, gullible, half-baked*, half-witted*, idiotic, ill-advised, imbecilic, inane, indiscreet, insensate, irrelevant, irresponsible, laughable, loser*, ludicrous, meaningless, mindless, moronic, naive, nonsensical, obtuse, pointless, puerile, rash, senseless, short-sighted, simple, simple-minded, slow, sluggish, stolid, stupefied, thick, thickheaded, trivial, unintelligent, unthinking, and witless. Do you not have a thought every in your life like, "hey, there are other people living in this same world as me, maybe I should consider them when I make a decision." Of course not. "Hey, lets sit here, let's not worry about anyone sitting directly behind us that can't see now."

Still going.....

In case the marathon NBA season has not been long enough (we might be blessed by having the Spurs sweep the Cavs to end this) ABC has started a reality series with Shaquile O'Neal. Shaq is running a fat camp for children in this reality series.

First off, who is their target market? I don't see the young, hip, urban youths that watch the NBA excited about watching Shaq help over weight kids lose weight. I don't see suburban housewives with overweight kids tolerating watching an hour long show of Shaq helping kids lose weight.

Also, why Shaq? That guy has like 5% body fat. That's just pure-unadulterated muscle on that frame. Shaq could probably eat a horse (rumor has it last Thanksgiving he ate an entire family of turkeys, a gaggle of geese, and a murder of crows) and I bet he would gain like 4 pounds, and would work that off walking his enormous body out to get the mail.

What's his advice to these kids, lift 350 pounds of weights daily and dominate the NBA for 12 years. You too can be an over-paid man-giant.

Too sad for cake....

I'm introducing a new section of Anger-Ranting, a weekly award given to who ever is too sad for cake for the week.

This week it goes to Ryan Seacrest of American Idol. I know I hate American Idol, and all but I rant on it often because I find it interesting how it has become such a cultural phenomena. I think may correlate American Idol to the earlier 2000s the way people correlate The Beatles to the mid to late 60s.

Now Seacrest is blaming Simon Cowell to the show's slight ratings drop.
  • First off, they show still finished number one and had like a 1% percentage drop.
  • Secondly, Seacrest went on to say that they judges are expandable, and they show may be better off with new hosts. If anyone is replaceable it is Seacrest. He is more replaceable than the guy who gets everyone's coffee. All Seacrest does is stands there and says we'll be right back after this commercial. The coffee guy at least knows how everyone likes there coffee.
  • Seacrest thinks he is god's gift to hosting, a monkey could host that show.
  • Know your place on the totem pole buddy. You do nothing. I don't see any of your personality oozing through and increasing the ratings.
  • I blame the ratings drop to the fact that it is the same shitty show for the past 6 years, and people are getting tired of the same thing. The talent pool is also thinning. Logic would tell you that they best singers in America have already auditioned and been denied, and now all that is left is the scraps.
  • Last I check Simon Cowell is one of the executive producers as well. Seacrest should watch his job. I heard there is a monkey at the zoo that is looking to move to Hollywood and get into hosting.
Sidenote: If I had started this last week Paris Hilton would have clearly won, but that all happened on Friday. How sad was that. I've been hauled off to prison from a court room plenty of times, never once crying for my mommy; crying for Superman, maybe, but never my mommy. Too sad......

Trilogies

Was recently talking about the movie genre of trilogies and how there really aren't many great trilogies in the real sense of the word. Too often the third is a joke and a sad member of the trilogy family (the edgrimley of the trilogy). I compiled a wikipedia list of movie trilogies in the real sense of the word. (All movies in series had to come out in theater, not straight to video, all movies had to include at least most of the same cast and production crew. So unfortunately movies like Dr. Doolittle, Lion King, and Major League had to be kept out.)
  • Austin Powers
  • Back to the Future
  • Beverly Hills Cop
  • Blade
  • Fast and the Furious
  • Final Destination
  • Free Willy
  • Friday
  • Bourne Identity
  • Indiana Jones
  • X-Men
  • Toy Story
  • Terminator
  • Star Wars
  • Spider-Man
  • Species
  • Shrek
  • Scream
  • Rush Hour
  • RoboCop
  • Porky's
  • Pirates of the Caribbean
  • Ocean's Eleven
  • Naked Gun
  • Mission Impossible
  • Matrix
  • Mad Max
  • Jurassic Park
  • Lord of the Rings
  • Saw
As you read the list you can see that only a handful are truly great trilogies in which you could spend a Sunday afternoon watching all three. I for one would only watch Lord of the Rings, Naked Gun, Spider Man. Star Wars, Indiana Jones, X-Men, Bourne Identity, Austin Powers. The rest either all three movies suck (Species, Fast and the Furious) or one of the movies in the trilogy (usually the third) is a major disappointment (Matrix, Friday, Mad Max).

Many movies worked their way out of becoming a great trilogy by making too many movies; Superman, Aliens, Batman, and Die Hard. For the record I consider the new Indiana Jones not part of the old trilogy, there is too big of a gap in years and I also hope that they will make a new trilogy ala Star Wars. Unfortunately, soon enough Saw, Spider-Man, and X-Men will have too many movies to be considered a trilogy.

I for one hope movie studies get back to the trilogy. How? Don't make another Spider-man, stop at three. Make the current installment of Christian Bale's Batman only 3 movies long, make 3 new Indiana Jones, and stop just remaking old movies and get some new epic story ideas that can correlate into some awesome trilogies. A trilogy of new Transformer movies? Sin City trilogy?

Idiot Athletes Part Three

There are some over-paid man-giant athletes out there that I wonder what they would be doing if they were celebrities and in the spotlight constantly. Chad Johnson is one such athlete. If he was not a professional sports athlete I think we would be that guy that parades around downtown in a painted car hollering things about "Jeebus" and the end of the world. This guy loves attention. At first I though some of his football antics were entertaining, then they got absurd and annoying. Now he is getting bizarre off the field during the off-season.

He raced a horse the other night, and to ensure his victory he gave himself a 100 yard lead in a 200 yard dash. I'm all a fan of man vs. beast, but race the horse straight up, none of this lead bullshit. After beating the horse he was talking it up like he was the greatest athlete ever. Next year teams should be given a 21-point lead over the Bengals and then these teams are allowed to smack talk after winning.

Chad Johnson even went on to say he wanted to compete against other athletes in other sports like Nascar, basketball, baseball, and boxing. I wonder if he will demand an absurd lead in those sports to. Maybe he will box FLoyd Mayweather, but Mayweather doesn't get boxing gloves, or Chad Johnson gets a 2X4. Plays Kobe in basketball but Kobe has to wear sandals and play on a 15-foot hoop. Plays Albert Pujols in baseball but Chad Johnson can use a tennis racket and a tee to hit from.

It must be great to need some an ego boost to rig contests to win and than brag all about it like your our God's gift to mankind. But then, Chad Johnson thinks he is God, so he is his own gift to mankind.

Haven't I seen this before?

So last Friday I watched and live blogged the new Pirates. TNT has been playing the first 2 all week. I was watching one on Sunday and then 2 on Monday and realized that it was the same movie as Star Wars (episodes 4-6), just on water.
  • The pirates are just like the Jedi, the British are the Empire.
  • The empire is trying to kill off all the Jedi, the British are trying to kill all the pirates.
  • The Jedi use light sabers, the pirates use swords
  • Both Pirates and Star Wars reference things that happened before the movie. Star Wars eventually made a prequel, and I bet Pirates will do the same.
  • Star Wars takes places on many different planets with wierd names, pirates on many different islands with weird names.
  • Orlando Bloom's character is just like Han Solo. Han Solo was not a Jedi but fought along side them, Orlando Bloom is not a pirate but fights along side them.
  • Kiera Knightley and Princess Leia are both princesses and the daughter of the ultimate bad guy.
  • The second episode in both series ends with a main character (Han Solo and Johnny Depp) in serious trouble, either dead or about to die.
  • In Star Wars they use space ships and brag about how fast they are, in Pirates its different boats. Han Solo has the fastest ship in Star Wars, and Johnny Depp has the fastest ship in Pirates.
  • Both of the end with the bad guy turning good at the end and fighting another bad guy.
  • Star Wars has Chewbacca as comic relief, yet an important character. In Pirates their is a monkey who is comic relief yet serves an important purpose.
Not that it is a bad thing that movies are copying the awesome formula that Star Wars began.

Keep going, and going, and going....

I just realized that the NBA playoffs are still going on. My god!!

Enough said.

People in glass houses.....

SHOULDN'T THROW STONES. If they do one of two things will happen, their glass house will break, or if it is strong glass, the rock will bounce back at them and hit them.

Last Sunday a group of us went to the Brewers game, and they actually one. We were all having a good time and went to leave the game. I gave a ride to a bar to a good friend of mine (who has driven in my car hundreds of times) and three friends from Chicago who had never driven in it. They began ribbing me and my Kia Spectra making such jokes as: are you sure 5 people will fit in that, can this thing get up to 30 mph, and do you need a push or crank start.

Ha, ha. I am all for some good ribbing. I can give it and receive it, its all in good fun. The thing was that these three live in Chicago and don't even have cars. So they were ribbing on someone who they were relying on for a ride to the bar, and were ribbing on someone for something they do not even personally have. Interesting.....

Like we be like edgrimley ribbing on someone for having a roof to sleep under.

Or Muntaba Lambego ribbing on someone for having electricity in their house.

We're at war....

I know we are at war but things are getting quite absurd. Yesterday I went to get gas and swiped my card and then after typing my pin number the machine asked for my zip code. I typed it in and waited. After about 90 seconds the machine told me to see the attendant.
  • Why does some gas company need my zip code? Will terrorists only sell gas to certain zip codes and not others? Other gas companies gathering data to see which zip codes buy more gas, and spend more per fill-up?
  • This is America, I should be able to fill up on gas, or buy anything I want, without getting the third degree.

After I see the attendant it turns out that my zip code was too far away and he had to authorize it by hand. WTF?? So I guess since we are at war we have to stay close to home and not venture over 10 miles for gas.

I told this story to a friend and she guessed exactly which gas station this occurred at, because it happened to her before.

Busy week....

This being the last week of school I am a bit busy doing school stuff, but don't fear I am still angry. Once school lets out there will be daily rantings. Things to come.....

1) Will show how Pirates of the Caribbean is the same movie as Star Wars, just on water

2) More idiot athletes (and managers)

3) People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones

4) How did these idiots ever get hired

5) Back for the first time... and still the best

6) The Peoples Champion

Live Blog

So edgrimley didn't think I had what it takes to live blog a book, so I decided to first live blog a movie at a theater. I am going to see Pirates 3 tonight. The movie is 3 hours long (I'm not rounding, it really is that long). I figured I'd set my updates for every 30 minutes.

Previews: The second preview was for what might be the worst movie of all time. The "Rock" plays a "indestructible" quarterback who is fearless. Then one day he is sitting at home, the door bell rings and there is a little girl standing there. It turns out its his daughter, who even has a birth certificate in her hand to proof it. "Hilarity ensues when the Rock has no idea how to raise a daughter and must keep up the image of being a feared quarterback. (I liked this movie the first time when it was called Big Daddy). The other preview was for Transformers. The movie will probably we stupid, but man does it look cool. There is a scene where a car hit some bump or ramp and goes spinning in the air. In mid air it transforms into a robot and lands and then starts its destruction. I'll see it.

Shhh... the movie is starting.
0-30 minutes: I'm little confused as to what is happening. I thought this movie stared Johnny Depp, but he is not in the first 30 minutes at all. This part is mostly plot set-up, no swashbuckling. They're trying to get all the pirates together to fight the British army, that should be some crazy swashbuckling, maybe even pillaging.

30-60 minutes: Johnny Depp finally appears, albeit in a trippy 20 minutes dream-like sequence. I guess he's in purgatory or something, very weird. He then is rescued. So it appears the movie is finally ready to start, even though it has been on for 60 minutes.

60-90 minutes: Let the swashbuckling begin.

90-120: Sappy lovey-dovey moment between Orlando Bloom and Kiera Knightley. More swash-buckling. Some guy 3 rows up is actually pulling out his black berry and writting to someone about something. Now he pulls it out again, what is going on in society and this guy's life that is so important on a Friday night at 10:00 pm?

120-180: Finally some pillaging, and of course more swashbuckling. There is a meeting of all the pirates left and we meet Jack Sparrow's father, played brilliantly by Keith Richards. Captain Teague: "It's not about living forever, Jackie... It's about living forever with yourself."

180-240: Movie is ending, it ends in an hour long battle on the scene. This is kind of cool. Starts as just ship versus ship with cannons, and then pirates board each others ship and there are some sword to sword combats. Sweet! There is some weird and sappy scene were 2 characters get married Jack Sparrow has the best line in this part. Keira Knightley is saying goodbye to Johnny Depp's character after the battle and she says: "Jack, it would never have worked out between us. " Jack's response:"Keep telling yourself that, darling. "

Overall movie is enjoyable, quite long. Would have been better if Johnny Depp had more screen time, he really does steal every scene he is in. There are some pretty funny one-liners about rum, pillaging, and death.
