Now the downside to working in a cinema - standing up for 8 straight hours with PotC in 5 screens. Eck =/

Doc, It's probably the most straight forward plot they've ever done.

Topic: PotC On Stranger Tides (34 replies, posted in Off Topic)
So I'm halfway through watching "Hunt for Red October" for the first time when the phone rings at twenty to midnight and its the girlfriend saying if I leave immediately she can hold off the projectionist putting on a staff showing of Pirates 4.
My expectations were quite low after... well the last couple of attempts at sequels and Brit film mag Empire giving it only 2 stars.
However I have to say whilst not nearly as good as the first it still managed to be bloody enjoyable, after a slow start a brillaint sequence with mermaids really works and from there its a proper adventure romp.
in a way it felt cheaper then the other entires with what felt like less settings and smaller battles but the more linear narrative makes up for it.
It's nothing amazing but it does what it sets out to do.
What did yo guys think?

I'm not sure how many of the Pirates commentaries you've recorded but I watched the second movie with the writers commentary last night and one of the things mentioned was how they wanted to move away from "One hero and a three act structure"
thought that might be something to add to your discussion, how successful they were with it

Re: Hitchhiker's. (17 replies, posted in Episodes)
It's well worth checking out Neil Gaimans "Don't Panic" a biography of Adams and Hitchhikers.
edit: you mentioned several times that Edgar Wright would have been a better choice to direct. He's actually in the film.

When you started the commentaries did you really think you'd still be doing them 2 years later?
