...so, was my guess right?

[Zaldax]

what guess?

[Schmergo]

Her guess about the ending to Spider Man 3, apparently. (Broker saw it.)

[Broker of Darkness]

In a way but that wasn't the point of the story...It was truthfully about Peter years after his uncle was killed dealing with the words he left him with..If great power comes with great responsibility then you have to be able to take on that responcability....He didn't realize that until everything hit him in the face....But also most of the plot was about revenge which I don't mind at all....

[Schmergo]

I personally think a protagonist's more interesting with a little internal conflict. They're just boring if they're all good, in my opinion. (Ie., why the Beast is the coolest Disney Prince.) Although I hear Spiderman 3 wasn't as good as the first two. Here's hoping Pirates 3 and Shrek 3 won't suffer the same curse!

[vampirate321]

i agree with all points, a protagonist w/o something is just boring, and not really worth watching. the beast was the best disney prince. and if potc 3 is bad (or shrek 3 for that matter) i might cry...

[Schmergo]

Yeah, I think Pirates 3 will be good because it'll tie together all the loose ends, and Shrek 3 sounds promising because it has Prince Charming and all the fairy tale villains fighting against all of the fairy tale princesses, but you never know. They might be lousy.

Like, one reason I'm a fan of Shrek and Pirates is because their protagonists aren't all good, either! Shrek's an ogre for crying out loud, and Cap'n Jack's a pirate.

[vampirate321]

and PIRATES of the caribbean wouldnt b the same with out him ;D

[Schmergo]

Yeah, it would just be a boring everyday romance/adventure movie with no quirkily awesome dude who reinvents the word 'pirate.'

[Zaldax]

okay...Sherk hates the whole evil ogre thing. Haven't you seen the movies! Shrek'll get the Ogre rights groups on you case before you can say "Grab your torches and Pitchforks!"

[Schmergo]

Oh, I didn't call him evil, I just meant he's not your typical perfect fairy tale protagonist-- you know, he can be a little crude and impolite, and he's certainly not a stud, but he's incredibly awesome. Although Puss In Boots is awesomer. (I have a Boots pez dispenser.)

[Zaldax]

Sooo true...Sooooooo true

[salthegemini]

I feel left out....everyone has weird little titley thingys under their names/star thingys but I have none.............*sad*.........................*goes to emo corner.....*...................(incase anyone has not noticed, I love eclipses....though, unlike DJC, I don't think I've ever made a post out of just eclipses........)

[vampirate321]

we have the name thingies due to our wonderful pal aku *you can almost taste the sarcasm*
and i LOVE puss in boots, probably mainly due to who plays him, but i like the character too
OH! did u know he also plays the bee in the nasonex (sp?) commercials?! ;D

[Schmergo]

I like my title... and I told Aku to give you one, Sal. I think she's just trying to decide on a good one.

Antonio Banderas is cool, really. He played The Phantom of the Opera AND he played Puss In Boots! I didn't know he was the Nasonex bee, though I thought the accent sounded familiar.

[vampirate321]

i loved him in zorro, i didnt like the second as much. it wasnt as good as the first (no sequals are), but he was good. i also liked him in once upon a time in mexico, but thats probably due to the fact that he and johnny depp were both in the movie (johnny said "savvy" XD)

[Schmergo]

I think Shrek 2 was better than Shrek 1, actually. And from all accounts, the fifth Harry Potter film will be the best so far. Not to mention that I liked Midnighters books two and three far better than the first one. There are lots more examples, but I agree that what you said was pretty much true.

Here's hoping that Pirates 3 will be good. Dead Man's Chest was a little bit... interminable, but I guess that it served the purpose of setting up At World's End.

[vampirate321]

i ment to write "(sequals almost never are)", i got sidetracted...POTC AT WORLD'S END COMES OUT IN 7 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Broker of Darkness]

I'd like a tittle because almost all of mine have been taken away for various reasons...

[Schmergo]

Well, you DO have a title, in a way-- it just says 'DJC,' though. I'm sure Aku could think of something far cooler.
