Big summer movie weekend…
… though I only saw one of them.
“Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End” - aka POCAWE or POC3. Lots of fun. Lots of special effects. Good times. There were some unintentionally funny bits, too - like Keira Knightley yelling “Fi-rah!” instead of “Fey-er!” or “Faaar!” (”Fire!”), which is something pirates do a lot.
I was just checking out several of the cast members (non-Depp, non-Bloom, non-Knightley, non-Rush cast members) and there’s a reason many of them look very familiar to me…
Tia Dalma (Jamaican voodoo priestess chick) was Selena in “28 Days Later” and Jenny in “Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story.” Lord Beckett - played by Tom Hollander - was in “The Libertine” (with Johnny Depp), “Gosford Park” and “Possession.” Of course, Mackenzie Crook was in the original BBC “The Office” (as Dwight Shrute’s predecessor, Gareth Keenan) and also in “The Brothers Grimm” (with Jonathan Pryce who plays Gov. Swann).
If you, like me, are a crazy fan of Brit TV (BBC shows, etc.) or more modern British films like “28 Days Later” or “Tristram Shandy”, then you probably know these folks too and might like beans and toast.
NOTE: I started writing this post on Monday and then got really tired. Oops.
