Hmmm... that's funny. I'm actually more attracted to Raoul. Sometimes i get this wierd craving for some dude who's going to protect me and be the stable force in my life.
But the phantom is pretty cool. How could you possible resist a man who took you on a boatride with candles everywhere? Seriously. the man is unfathomable. deep. that's the kind of man you could spend your life with and still enjoy.
Misty: Eh, nothing to say without possibly insulting you, and although I normally wouldn't care, I'm not in the mood for a flame war.
There is one thing I would like to say to you, I'm entirelly against the death penalty. 😛 Ok carry on. Oh and I do find Orlando more attractive. No I find both of them.
Ok, in no offense to all. Let's not mention slash in here, please.
I love both Orlando and Johnny. I know ivebeendepped sooner or later will come here and offend, like always.
But, honestly I'm more familiar with Johnny because I "known", I guess you could say, on screen since I was 5.
I have nothing against Orlando. If Im a JE shipper is because of what I see in and how I like them together, it's not because I don't like Orlando. It would be very stupid of me to say that.

Kate: Where did I come up with Lottie? Yes, I meant Meg. I'm horrible with names. The Phantom and Meg...the blonde one in the movie. I always thought how fun it would be for them to hook up, even if there's no canon basis for it.
I don't like slash when people insist it's canon...I like it when people acknowledge that it is 'AU' (alternate universe), because to take someone else's work and make such a huge change is a bit more than taking creative license.
Also, I despise Real Person Fics, especially slash ones, and refuse to read them. There's something really wrong with writing about people you don't know, and making them into something they aren't. I've gotten into lots of arguments about whether RPF should even be published.
I know, I know...I argue about a lot of things. 😛
As far as shipping goes, if there's a book involved and I've read it, I'm more likely to ship based on what I've read rather than the film...such as, Aragorn and Arwen really work in Lord of the Rings, even though their romance is pretty much only in the Appendix of the novel (have you read that story? So, so lovely...).
And don't get me started on Jo and Laurie from Little Women. I got so tired of people who never bothered to read the book...meh, I won't rant about that particular subject. 😛
Willo: I've often wondered myself about ships, but I still think that in films, it's usually, at the most base level, how attractive you find the actors.
This does not mean that all other arguments are invalid 'cause you find Johnny Depp really cool/sexy/likeable as Jack Sparrow, or that I find Orlando Bloom as cool/sexy/likeable as Will Turner...it just means we go with the pairing that we are more attracted to.
I don't think I've seen anyone who ships J/E as admitting that they find Orlando/Will as being hotter/cooler/more likeable than Johnny/Jack, and I think if you check the W/E people, you would find that all if not most of their opinions would be flipped.
I could be wrong. Does anyone who ships J/E find Will more attractive than Jack?
I'm not trying to debate, but I am trying to see if my theory is right.
Okay... first of all, yes i've read the appendix, i really enjoyed the aragorn and arwen story and liked them a lot in the books. But in the movie i could not for the life of me get into them. WTF was up with her see through blue lingerie outfit in film two? Probably the same thing that was up with destroying Faramir's character and killing Saruman on a spike. But I digress...
Laurie and Jo were meant to be, but then I got cynical and started identifying with the professor. That's all I'm going to say.
Im going to make a scary confession. I like Orlando better than Johnny Depp. I don't like Johnny Depp that much, actually. I think he's extremely talented (more talented/versatile that Orlando) but kind of creepy and hard to get. He's cool as anything, but if you're asking me which guy I would rather date or chill out with, I'd say Orlando hands down. He's adorable. Not the sort of dude I'd marry, but I'm not into any celebreties like that. My deal is with Jack Sparrow. It's that character I'm obsessed with, and the way JD plays him. But can you imagine trying to have a conversation with JD? That would just be wierd in my mind. Not only would I be really intimidated, i doubt we'd have anything in common. Orlando could be a regular mate, the kind you go out for drinks with.
So yeah, I reckon you would say I would go for Orlando over Johnny. But neither would hold my attention for long, I don't think.
Its not about who's hotter. Maybe others would be stupid to think that they rather see Lizzie with Jack because he is hotter than Will, its not about looks. Some do think so, but at least me and kate, Misty and others don't think so. Its about the chemistry. Its about how when you see Jack and Liz together, that you feel the tension, and the sparks.
Its not about the looks.

Exactly the dynamic that Both Jack and Lizzie have on Screen is just amazing and really u cant help but just keep watching.....they make it interesting, the chemistry they have just works and jumps of the screen and into the audience. See they never confess anything, but u feel it because sometimes A LOOK speaks FAR MORE than words!
Ok, since you have a hard time grasping my question, let me ask you once more...
Who is more attractive to you? Jack Sparrow or Will Turner?
I don't give a whit about chemistry, that isn't part of the question. I don't care if you'd love to chill with Orlando. That isn't the question. The question is, which character do you find more attractive?
But nevermind.

im confused, why does it even matter? is this about ships again?
and i think i made it clear in my answer i prefered the character of Jack Sparrow, while I prefer Orlando as an actor.
^ You prefer Orblando as an actor? Are you serious? *shocked*
I read your post above about Johnny and I don't feel like you know much about him. He is a really lovely, modest, shy guy. If he comes across as awkward and mumbly in interviews that's his shyness shining through. He may not be talkative and uber-excited all the time like Orlando and Keira but that doesn't mean he isn't interesting. No one who works with him has a bad word to say about him. Wouldn't hold your attention for long? Umm, okay...
