Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest


Well I finally saw Pirates 2 and I really enjoyed it. I knew before hand that this was going to be the middle movie and a third one was being made. So when it ended the way it did, I was not surprised. I think Depp did another great job as Captain Jack Sparrow. The SFX were awesome and there was a ton of action. I don't think this was a complete story though. I think the fact that they knew they were doing another film hurt the story telling in this movie. This series could not end with this movie, there must be a third installment to complete this story.

Another "Little" Outing

Took my "little" brother to the Sherman Oaks Gallery. I still haven't seen Superman or Pirates 2 so I gave him the choice of which ever one he wanted to see. He chose Pirates 2 and we both really enjoyed the movie. After the movie we went to The Cheesecake Factory for lunch and had a nice lunch.

Comic Con Day Four


Final Thoughts.... Not as many stars or panels and the horrible mix up with the hotel , but all in all this has been a fun comic con experience. Be sure to check out my website and follow the link to my comic con 2006 pictures.

Sunday is usually a laid back kind of day. It's "Kids day" so I normally don't go to any panels that day and normally finish up buying whatever I want to buy before we head home. But this year I was volunteering at the California Browncoats fan table. From 9:30am to about 1pm it was controlled chaos. It was so much fun meeting fellow fans of Firefly and Serenity. We sold tons of t-shirts, buttons, stickers and so much more. I did very good and didn't buy everything. After working the booth I then strolled around a bit longer and checked out a few things. At about 1:30 I headed upstairs for the Browncoats charity drawing, which I had bought 20 tickets. I sat there for about two hours as they read off ticket number but alas I did not win any of the 123 items. After that I found Tom and we headed back home.
