September 9, 2009


Dear Diary,

I just finished watching the third installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. I know that the storyline is a bit meandering, and it seems to have about 4 different logical endings. But for all its faults, it has some treasurable moments. Haha! "Treasurable." That was unintentional. But true of the whole series, as well. I am a Pirates fan. Well...the movies, anyway. Did you know that Bing Crosby used to be part owner of the Pittsburg Pirates. And his uncle was an actual Scandinavian Pirate.

..Again, I'm off track, aren't I?

Anyway, back to Pirates III. My favorite of scenes in that film would have to be the "wedding" and kiss at the "end." I often wonder if any of you girls out there ever sit and rewind the kissing scene and watch it over and over. In any movie. Not just Pirates. I do that. In fact, a couple years ago, I thought it would be fun to put together a collection...a montage, if you will, ....of kissing scenes. And I've found some good ones. In fact, more recent releases are urging me to revise and update the montage. ...Someday.

At any rate, I have often found that I fit that line in Sleepless in Seattle where Rosie says "You don't want to be in love. You want to be in love in a movie!" It's true. I want the orchestra swelling behind me. Perhaps a little slow motion. Or one of those photographic images of the world swirling and a blur behind me, but me and my guy in perfect focus.

And if you're curious, I can't post my montage, which I affectionately call "Chick flick" because of copyrights. But if you're interested in seeing it, drop me a line. ;)

Is tomorrow the big scene?
