#1) Will is played by Orlando Bloom #2) The last scene in the 3rd movie after carefully thinking about it gave me nightmares #3) Elizabeth reminds me of Buttercup mixed with Britney spears mixed with Hillary Clinton mixed with all the whimpy preppy teenage girls of America

Yeah, I knew what was going on in that last scene. *shudders*

That scene has scarred me for life.

I ended up having a very similar discussion with my classmates in Tech Ed.

Will and Elizabeth stink because they are pirates and thusly don't bathe often, unless they're at that scary Asian man's bath house, and that guy is strangely filthy for a bath house owner. They also stink because they lived in the 1700s, and people didn't bathe much then, period.

I think (although this isn't really justified, 'cause I keep shipping reforming Slytherins with non-Slytherin women, including a reformed Voldemort w. Minerva (obviously AU)) that it was rather ridiculous how Will seemed to keep making plans behind Elizabeth's back, but then, it seems that Elizabeth did some of that plotting too. (I haven't had much sleep the past few days--rather stupid of me, really, and, as always, I ought to attend Parentheses Overusers Anonymous with a certain DL, so forgive me for being a bit muddled.)
Also, I guess I'm sort of a sucker for Happy Endings (As Sugarland says, "We're all looking for a happy ending") and I would have rather had Norrington live and get together with Elizabeth, as I may or may not write up in a fanfiction of an AU version of World's End. I don't really mind Elizabeth, but I don't think she really deserves to be married to Turner, who, of course, is going to be sailing on the Dutchman from now on. That is, I don't think Turner deserves her, so I think that ship is lousy. (pun intended)
Totally irrelated, but I, for some odd reason, like Vanderdecken better than Davy Jones, probably because Ben and Ned (or Neb and Den--why exactly their names had to be reversed, I don't know) are way better than Will Turner, and Bootstrap was really the only interesting pirate on POTC(to me), whereas there were plenty of more interesting pirates in Castaways. Like Anaconda, and Jamel, and what ever that German first mates name was. And don't forget Redjack Teal, who's actually in Angel's Command. Well, actually, forget both of those, because I'm supposed to be exclusively talking about the respective crews of different versions of the Flying Dutchman.1
Also, I love yah post, schmergo, and I love demongirl's avatar: Boromir: "One does not simply walk into Wal Mart. There is evil there that does not sleep"
1: I am referring to Brian Jacques(really, really, really wonderful author)'s Castaways of the Flying Dutchman Series. There's three books, Castaways of the Flying Dutchman, The Angel's Command, and Voyage of Slaves, the third being a little more mediocre than the first two in my opinion, but still pretty good. You should read them!

Thank you for reminding me who the author was of that book I need to read this summer or one of my friends will kill me. /random
I don't think Norry (Ankh's Norry) deserves Elizabeth. She was kind of...I don't know...too Mary-Sue-ish, I guess? Kind of like Will: Gary-Stu Extraordinaire.

I do find Elizabeth rather Mary Sue-ish, but until I realized just now that she's got three beaus hanging on a string, I didn't think she was that Mary Sue-ish.
Remora, did some friend threaten to have your guts for garters unless you read one of Brian Jacques's books? Which one?

It's Redwall. And he didn't threaten me, I just promised him I would. That was before I knew I wasn't going to have time to breathe, let alone read, this summer.

If only you had time.... It really is a great book, although there are some inconsistancies with the other books in the Redwall series. First book. He's allowed to have some inconsistancies--how could he know that it was going to develop into this long series? Some of my favorite parts:
"I tripped on my abbot, Father Habit, oh dear, I mean..."
Basil Stag Hare! (and Bazil Stage Hare, but that's in Mattimeo)
Constance lifting up the table. (and the "Death waits outside this room" "Leave our abbey" again in Mattimeo)
But it's really sad when something happens to Methusalah.
Speaking of Redwall, and not at all about Will and Elizabeth, ravens seem to be a fairly popular topic in fantasy books, as evidenced by two of the books on my list of upcoming fantasy that I think I want to read:
Doomwyte(s?)--Redwall (even though I have yet to read Eulalia!) Urchin and the Raven's War--Chronicles of Mistmantle Inkdeath--the Inkheart Trilogy The Time Paradox--Artemis Fowl (July 15--yay! Eoin Colfer is always good, though as I say that, ironically I haven't read The Wish List) Brisingr--Inheritance (Maybe... I would like to find out what happens, but the elves annoy me like fingernails on a chalkboard, and it is a rather insipid series. Also, besides that, the dragons on the covers are ugly.)
