Arrr Matey! Part Deux

Aha! I must admit, watching Pirates 3 a second time was much better. I still did not understand the purpose of Calypso, but nonetheless, the film didn't drag in the parts I felt it did the first time. I think it's because I already knew what parts were coming. It also was interesting to hear the reaction of people during some parts, since I had already seen the film. Obviously, a lot of people cheered when Jack Sparrow showed up the first time. Sirose's reaction to Norrington dying was actually refreshing. No one I know even bothered when he died. She got all sad about it. So that affected the way I felt about the scene. This contrasts to the first time I watched the movie, where people around me were more bothered about Will stabbing the heart of Davy Jones, and when they revealed Calypso and Davy Jones' backstabbing past. This time around, that didn't bother me as much as it did the first time. I think I feed off the energy of the people around me too much.

Anways.... I loooove the El Capitan. As Kyle says, "It's the Captain." Yes, yes. It is. The ambiance was amazing. They completely pirate-ed up the El Capitan. Niice. The organ-playing guy is pretty interesting too. As Sirose says, "I wonder how much that guy makes...?" He plays really well, and he plays music from Disneyland too. I had the sudden urge to go to Disneyland after he finished playing. Also, the sound system at the El Capitan is absolutely amazing. The theater I watched Pirates 3 in at the Long Beach Towne Center had a not to great sound system. Some people even walked out because of it. I'm thinking I should go watch Ratatouille at the El Capitan when it comes out... Hmmm.

Highlights of the day:
1. Pirates 3. Obviously. And looking at the exhibits in the El Capitan. niiice.

3. Meeting Sara's boyfriend. Kyle's very witty and sarcastic. hilarious.
4. Showing Sara where Staples Center is and telling her you don't buy staples there.
5. Bonding with Siobhan over Beard Papa's cream puffs
6. Freaking out because of the people wearing costumes outside the Kodak Theatre
7. Elyse being traumatized by the pirate man trying to amuse the people in line. He was on stilts. He told her to "walk between my legs. It'll make my day..." Ewww
8. Going with Sirose to buy popcorn. And then knocking over the entire salt container. So embarrassing.
9. Wasting time in the restroom, waiting for the crowd to thin. Then whoring ourselves for the camera.
10. Walking around parking lot, trying to find Kyle's car.
