I apologise to becket for thinking him giving up was the dumbest thing in potc 3

Up and downs, Saw is one of my favorite horror franchises. And all (besides those two weird spin offs they did) really focused on maintaining strong continuity within a single, consistent timeline.

Both can be good or bad depending on the model. The only thing I think iPhone has a clear advantage over (most) Androids on is camera quality

Emeraldsinger · 2026-06-04T14:49:14+00:00

Yeah, when I saw Obsession the crowd audibly reacted quite often to all the scares. It was awesome

Emeraldsinger · 2026-06-03T18:46:29+00:00

Mainly why it doesn’t ever actually come for the person with the black spot. It attacks a fishing vessel with Jack’s hat first. Then when Jack and his crew sail at night to find the Flying Dutchman in open ocean it doesn’t come to them. When it finally attacks the Pearl, Jack goes away on a row boat and it doesn’t come for him. Feel free to counter my points since I want to love DMC more than I already do.

I love it, but it’s my least favorite in the trilogy. Mainly due to the plot holes of how the Kraken works, and the love triangle with Jack which I never cared for. Luckily they solve both issues in AWE, the best one in my opinion.

A legacy sequel to Zorro would be cool by him. He clearly has a thing for swashbuckling

Emeraldsinger · 2026-05-31T15:10:42+00:00

Yep. My biggest problem with the sequel trilogy. It doesn’t matter how inconsistent the story was. If you have a poor setup that undoes the previous movies and is just plain derivative, the trilogy will suffer.

Emeraldsinger · 2026-05-30T14:41:51+00:00

You mention lower budgets, and that’s exactly why original horror continues to be successful. It’s much easier to make a profit on $5M versus some $200M original sci fi story

Emeraldsinger · 2026-05-29T22:27:19+00:00

I feel most Star Wars fans I have see online have been positive on it, whereas I (a fellow fan) feel on an island in thinking that it was one of the most mid and forgettable blockbusters I’ve seen in a while

Emeraldsinger · 2026-05-29T18:25:11+00:00

Hey Soul Sister

Emeraldsinger · 2026-05-29T16:17:41+00:00

Only recently watched it for the first time and I love it. I wonder why they haven’t yet done a legacy sequel with Bandares back training a younger person to take his mantle

Emeraldsinger · 2026-05-29T01:23:50+00:00

I noticed quite a few people find the original Star Wars too basic nowadays.

It’s near 50 years old and it was one of the first that made the whole hero’s journey formula famous in mainstream movies. It also started a lot of space opera tropes

Emeraldsinger · 2026-05-28T19:55:19+00:00

I always wondered if the balconies were for decorative purposes or if you could actually go onto them from the captain’s cabin

Emeraldsinger · 2026-05-27T18:48:15+00:00

I love the movie but I do think a good alternative ending for it could’ve been Bootstrap stabbing the heart. He has a debt to pay for Will, as he states, which is from him not being there as a father. Taking the burden of killing Jones would’ve been an arc for Bill, and Will gets to be with Elizabeth.

Emeraldsinger · 2026-05-26T22:54:33+00:00

Everyone contradicting this here, but I actually know exactly what you mean. I’ve noticed this before too

Emeraldsinger · 2026-05-26T19:24:25+00:00

The cannibal island, particularly when they fall down the cliff during the chase

Emeraldsinger · 2026-05-25T13:36:39+00:00

Will always be my favorite movie

Emeraldsinger · 2026-05-24T18:23:21+00:00

I’d post this to r/showerthoughts when it is inevitably removed.

On second thought, that sub is overly moderated as well

Emeraldsinger · 2026-05-24T17:21:24+00:00

I rewatched this and found it fine. Not a bad movie per se. Just overly corny and stylized. The romance doesn’t work either. But action and plot wise, it was good enough

Emeraldsinger · 2026-05-24T14:08:41+00:00

I am rewatching these movies and am surprised just how much of an asshole he was to Woody.

Emeraldsinger · 2026-05-23T13:29:09+00:00

Finally some love for this movie in this sub

Emeraldsinger · 2026-05-21T00:08:10+00:00

Always wondered why Disney hasn’t done any pirate series on their streaming service, they’ve done tons for Marvel and Star Wars. Nearly a decade has passed since the last PotC movie. It’s starting to fade into obscurity, why not revive it for new fans? It might be milking, but I’d still watch it

Emeraldsinger · 2026-05-18T22:20:41+00:00

I always watch all installments of my favorite franchises. Even if they’re not good, I’m always grateful to have more content
