well as far as Lovely, last i heard she still had hope! but she was still upset about certain things! as fas as her not being here...last time she was here she went off on a couple of us...then apologized, and explained that her grandfather was very ill and she was afraid he wouldnt be around much longer...she also expressed her closeness with him! so my prayers are with her and hoping that the worst hasn't reached her family! 🙁 so that may be the reason why she hasn't been around!

oh yeah...you are right...I forgot about that...yes, I hope she is alright and that her family is holding it together....

I don't see why people give up on a series they loved before DMC even threw in a valid possibility of J/E. They didn't get together in COTBP and people still loved it. It wasn't that big a deal. So I'm sick of all this shit about people getting into fights and getting upset over something as pathetic as a movie- revised script or not.

1. Those of you who have read the "final" script: This could be unofficial. Last minute changes to films are made all the time, and that includes endings. If you think they're 100% accurate, let the rest of us who want to be surprised dream.

2. Those of us who have not read the "final" script: Keep concentrating on symbolism and film studies and just overall POTC love. W/E is not the worst thing in the world that could happen, especially if done tastefully and Jack's not torn up about it.

Back to the symbolism now that I've probably alienated everyone. Liz definitely has changed physically, bad hair aside. What I keep noticing, and I have no idea what this means, whenever she is somewhere other than the Pearl, meaning Port Royal and now Singapore, she is wearing yellow.
1. Dress she is in that makes her faint and plop into the water: yellow
2. Dress at the end when she decides Will is a pirate: yellow
3. Wedding gown: baby poop yellow
4. Accented Asian war-faring attire: yellow bits

What does that mean? I know she wears a lot of white because that's what her nightgown and underwear were in COTBP and she wears a white shirt in DMC and that could be a hint to her physical innocence, but I'm a little clueless about the yellow. I think her only other color is blood red, and that's when she's with Barbossa.

Ok soooo i have no idea where to put this...so i'll just put it here....😄

Wo0o0o0o0o0o Congrats POTC: Dead Mans Chest!!! I Knew Davy Had to Win an AwaRD!!! 😄

yay! pirates won ALOT! oo and green day's video got an award too 😊

Willo, I agree on that post you made. That's why is hard to believe that they have the ending already. How can T&T or the cast and crew be so stupid in revealing the ending. That's pathetic. It could be anything...I don't know and I don't care.

What's important to me is Jack Sparrow. Not even thinking it's Johnny Depp--Im in love with the character itself. I want a closure for all characters especially for Jack. My main concern is Jack.
