Shiver Me Timbers

I could enumerate characters I love.

Gandalf, Eowyn, Frodo, Legolas (hehehe),Amelie, Neo, Trinity, Constantine, Loki & Bartleby .... etc.

But then nobody compares to Capt. Jack Sparrow.

I am dying in anticipation right now waiting for Pirates of the Carribean: At The World's End to see Capt. Jack and crew again. I absolutely hated what Elizabeth did to the pirate in Dead Man's Chest. But then, there should be a crisis somewhere where the third (and final?) installment can kick off. I've seen movie stills, and it looks really good. Specially with the comeback of Capt. Barbosa and the addition of Chow Yun Fat, who looks like a soldier of Genghis Khan. Then of course, Keith Richards is said to be in the movie too. (as Jack's Dad)

What makes Jack Sparrow interesting:
1. He's a pirate. I mean how cool would it be to fill out some bio data form and put "pirate" as profession? :-D
2. He wears mascara better than the ladies. Robert Smith would be proud.
3. The grog-intoxicated swagger. (Only Johnny Depp could pull such).
4. He can talk himself out of anything (except from fellow pirates).
5. He is actually a good pirate (.... if there is such).

I look forward to see my alter ego grace before the screen for one last time.

Here is the synopsis of the movie taken from IMDB:

"After Elizabeth (Keira Knightly), Will (Orlando Bloom), and Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) rescue Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) from the clutches of the Kraken, they must face their foes, Davey Jones (Bill Nighy) and Lord Cutler Beckett (Tom Hollander). Beckett, now with control of Jones' heart, forms a dark alliance with him in order to rule the seas and wipe out the last of the Pirates. Now, Jack, Barbossa, Will, Elizabeth, Tia Delma, and crew must call the Pirate Lords from the four corners of the globe, including the infamous Sao Feng (Chow-Yun Fat), to a gathering that will make their final stand against Beckett, Jones, Norrington, the Flying Dutchman, and the entire East India Trading Company. Written by J. Curcio"

Pretty pretty interesting!
