    are Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley coming back for this one as well? It’s not a pirates movie without the three of them…

    the last one was my least fave, mandee, but I have to admit I really enjoy this type of movie, like the H.Potter’s, just a lot of adventure and fun! I have seen them all in theatre as well, and that will be even more enjoyable for you if your cousin makes it up for this one too!

    agree, underzenith, good to see them all 3 reunite on this one again…

  5. mandee • January 20, 2010 @ 8:52 PM

    yeah i really like all 3 of them as well. depp especially! i also love harry potter jo, just not the last one either. was disappointed in it 🙁

    I also love these movies, and the last Pirates movie was also my least favorite of the three, but I’ll still be seeing this one, and buying it as soon as it’s in stores. Also I agree, I loved the HP movies as well and own them all.
    underzenith, I agree, the three of them together makes a really great Pirate movie, but I heard that Keira and Orlando will not be in this one.

    mandee, you were disappointed in the last HP movie? I really enjoyed it. Have you read the books?

  8. mandee • January 21, 2010 @ 2:35 AM

    yeah i really didnt like the movie, it didnt seem as fun or adventurous to me as the others. maybe im outgrowing it? no i havent read the books, ive been meaning to (i have the first 2 or 3) i just have material issues lmao i dont like the feeling of the pages (they actually hurt my skin) so i generally only read when im at work and have gloves at my disposal!

    Oh lord! LOL.

  10. mandee • January 21, 2010 @ 7:50 PM

    i never said i was a boring person 😛

    Your skin must be extremely sensitive. Some people are very “touch sensitive”. It’s no cure, but I hope you use lots of skin lotion on your hands. If your skin is dry that could make the problem worse, and lotion may help even a little bit.
    Btw, read the books! They’re really good!

  12. Judy • January 22, 2010 @ 10:57 AM

    CAN’T WAIT!

    Hey Mandee, you better be careful about your wisdom teeth. Remember Mischa Barton? How she was INVOLUNTARILY held in a psychiatric hospital? It all began because she went to the hospital with pain due to her wisdom teeth! Hahahahahahahahahaha.

  14. mandee • January 22, 2010 @ 1:27 PM

    tg, i do use tons of lotion, and youre right ! when they are dry it gets sooo much worse. i cant stand a lot of things, cotton clothes, cotton balls, newspapers, book pages, fleece, soft bathroom tissue, tissue for your nose, velvet, corduroy, the list is BIG those are just the main ones!

    nancy, i dont remember her? and im sure i wont be far behind 😛 i just read the article on charlie sheens wife being in the hosp from infection due to dental surgery, im freaked right out now ! lol.

  15. Tracy • January 22, 2010 @ 1:36 PM

    hey Mandee, try some E-books! no pages to turn.

  16. tributegirl • January 22, 2010 @ 1:55 PM

    Hey, great idea, Tracy!

  17. mandee • January 23, 2010 @ 2:05 AM

    thanks tracy, ive actually thought about it and id be interested in it for sure if i could afford it right now. once i get back on my feet, for sure i will 🙂 thanks for the advice though! 😀
