Geoffrey Rush Is The Best Pirate Of All, Though

Watching Pirates of the Caribbean again. Gotta say, I rather like the idea that Captain Jack Sparrow is constantly reassessing and recalculating his best move, like some wild but ultimately brilliant chessnmaster. They got a bit off track with that later on, but dang, it's a fun way to watch the first one. I love tricksters.

Plus, after all the overabundance of Depp since then, it's nice to be reminded just how hilariouusly, wonderully surprising this whole insane movie was.

Dangit, summer always makes me want to write pirate stories. Good thing I've got a perpetual piratical work in progress around. I hope I never finish it.
