Accenuate the positive

So you see! (sorry for the double post btw) It WAS fun. Even if it was stressful.

I enjoy watching it just to see the characters too! Jack with his hat!! lol
The marriage scene is a beautiful idea but it's still too painful to watch for me. Oh well, it was one of the highest grossing movies of the year...must be doing something right. Of course we all know it would beat all the movies had it been *cough* JE *cough* but it was still awesome...maybe not AWEsome as we'd hopes but awesome nevertheless

haha "what has the world done to you, James?" i am suddenly massively inspired to go watch DMC, the movie personification of the love of my life. sigh. we'll always have Tortuga...

Miz Tee PiGirl, that's it in a nutshell--it's our krewe--in addition to the wonderful story of the man. It's our jokes, impressions, obsessions, and all. Passion....from the movie to us and back again.

Miz Sailorleo, I bow to your new signature and/or avatar (avatar being the littler of the two, right Savvy?). They are absolutely one of the best of the alternative realities I've ever seen. You done good, little sister--and thanks for the sharing of it. How did you ever? Do I have this capability somewhere on my ancient Dell (wind 2000)?

Ah, really back to topic--Jack running?! Have you ever in your life seen anything as funny as Mr. Depp creating Captain Jack Sparrow channeling Forrest Gump? I hurt myselfhysterical
every time I see this wonderous thing--right arm pumping up and down, left arm circling like a back helicopter rotor, left and right feet heading towards two distinct compass points--knees almost to shoulder height hysterical

Ooh, yes, Beckett does seem to be a sparrabether. Odd, isn't it? There does seem to be sexual tension between him and Jack to me, but maybe I'm just a pervert. I guess the best of both worlds would be that Beckett, uh...has the best of both worlds, lol. As a bisexual, he can be attracted to Elizabeth (maybe he just likes mischievious people) and yet jealous of her, constantly fishing for information about her and Jack to see if maybe Jack's heart belongs to (gasp!) someone else.

the thing about beckett is, (similar to Jack) he seems to have sexual chemistry with everyone... Elizabeth, Will, Davy Jones, Jack... the only person he doesn't have sexual chemistry with is mercer (thank GOD). But he is more obvious about it than Jack is... he gets this creepy smile on his face and gets right up into people's personal space. Jack can just glance at someone across a room (like Elizabeth...) and there are sparks. haha.

I could easily be convinced that Beckett is in love with Jack, though. I mean, come on, they needed one more person thrown into that love pyramid. By now its what, a love hexagon? Will, Liz, Jack, James, Sao, Beckett... anyone i left out?

Oh wow. What I'd give to know how to do graphics on a post. Let's see.

Elizabeth+Will
|
|
Jack Sao James
|
|
Beckett Giselle Scarlett Sao's bodyguards Anamaria Tia + Davy

Now imagine a long diagonal line going from Will to Tia since they have some sexual tension too and this is as best as I can come up with.

i think what I'm getting from all that is, pretty much EVERYONE in POTC is involved in a Geometric Love Figure of some sort, and it's all linked together. ha ha. a love web. what a mess.

Oh, boy, I get to use two new terms I learned this year--slash, referring to those assignations which are uni-sexual and an oldie but a goodie, rogering. Willofthewisp and Kateloves made me have "thoughts" unbidden, uniquely pirate-y, decidedly not mainstream.....yep, let's change that to Thoughts with a capital T. I'm not saying this like it's a bad thang, it's just so novel to me to have thoughts about Beckett having thoughts about Jack, oh my.

HAHA!! That's funny to think of. A love web.
"We'll always have Tortuga" LOL Kate!!!
Beckett having feeling for Jack? Why ever not LOOOOOL!

Lol. Beckett's feelings for Jack are like a car wreck. It's disgusting and horrible and yet we can't take our eyes off it.

Deleted Scene (picks up where Beckett asks about Elizabeth and Jack shuts him up about it)

Jack: Now what is she to you? (paraphrasing)

Beckett: Oh nothing. I just never miss an opportunity to delve into what makes Jack Sparrow tick. (stands up and gets into Jack's personal bubble again)

Jack: (walks away and starts fingering the trinkets on the table. He pockets a very pretty buckle) One might say you're too much of an opportunist, so much so that once you have an opportunity you shouldn't take, you'll take the opportunity anyway and the next thing we all know, you'll be even shorter than you are now.

Beckett: (taken aback but keeping his cool) And with me out of your way, after already imprisoning Turner [he makes imprison sound merciful], you're free to whisk up your pirate lass and sail the seven seas with her.

Jack: And why would you even care if that was the plan? You would be six feet...or six hundred fathoms...whichever comes first...dead by then anyway.

Beckett: Miss Swann is capable, beautiful, impetuous. I would be shocked if you were not attracted to her.

Jack: What's truly shocking, mate, is that you don't seem to realize you're attracted to her too.

Beckett: (slightly flustered) Don't change the subject, Jack.

Jack: (takes a ring from the table and starts spinning it) It's all the same subject. You're the one who keeps mentioning her (spins it), lists all her amiable qualities (spins it again), and is fishing, as it were, for her availability (spins the ring but it falls on the floor. Jack looks for it and doesn't see it)

Beckett: I am doing nothing of the sort! I never allow the sins of the flesh to interfere with...

Jack: ....with all your other sins? (sees the ring and dives for it, rescuing it and putting it back on the table)

Beckett: I find the lass all the things I said, but she is nothing more than that.

Jack: Can't say I believe you. (smirks) Does someone else already have that oh-so enviable special place in that miniscule heart of yous?

(There is a pause. Beckett's lips tighten. Jack looks confused, and then his eyes go wide)

Jack: Uh, yes. Well then...I'll just be going from this ship off to another one (tiptoes to the door) one where there are no men. Yes, no men. Good day. (tries door. It's locked. Desperate, he jumps out the window)

Okay Miz Kateloves, somewhere, please don't ask, I've looked...you said 'kissing space'--and your theory is??

Willo, that was utterly fabulous. oh my gracious--- i can TOTALLY picture that being in the movie!! IF ONLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVED the line about how Beckett doesn't allow the sins of the flesh to interfere with all his other sins... those kind of witty phrases that just make your writing so brilliant...

Tex, I have a theory on kissing-distance. Basically, when two people get within kissing distance of each other, the majority of the population is going to immediately find themselves thinking about kissing, even if they are two men, or about to stab each other, etc. Try it on yourself. Get within kissing distance of someone you would NEVER actually want to kiss (like say, your best friend or someone you are related to) and then try to maintain that proximity without some kind of kissing thought entering your head. it's a bit of a twisted theory. LOL.

So true, Kate. So true. It must have something to do with our personal space. We don't want just anyone to cuddle us or push us into a wall or even lean down too much. Good insight.

Oh, naughty wicked Miz KateLoves--now look what you'vedone...oh,my. I am definitely lmao at this moment--loud shocked but intrigued hoots!!

lol So Kissing Condition aka KateLoves Perversion Pivot 101, explains a lot. lol Yes, I have in my own life experienced something like this a time or two. I will add a codicil to your condition, Miz KateLoves, if you introduce tequila into the mix, why you might end up a bit more connected. You are quite the clever observer my dear girl, it's like the water drops that leap together after they achieve a certain closeness. Explains the long side glances that Jack is so expert at being given over to Beckett.

Someday, piratista KateLoves, I would adore sitting with you and Miz WilloftheWisp and shooting the breeze, maybe a glass or two of merlot. Oh, the tales what would get told and the laughing for days. Y'alls something fine--clever clever chits yes!! Thanks for the 'splanation. still lol a bunch.

My dear, that sounds divine. I can just imagine the conversations--- and I think we might frighten away anyone who happened by... merlot, or maybe just some good old Jack Daniels... hahaha. 🙂

hehe everytime i see that scene in AWE I think "He's gonna kiss him, OMG!" Even though I've already seen it and know he's not. Then I wonder why the heck he likes to get that close and why Jack isn't backing away..

KateLoves, well, we probably wouldn't get thrown out immediately..., but I feel assured we would be cut a wide berth by most--JD is just fine for me, long as it's only shots. Yea, would be some stuff. You've had a most interesting life from what I've gathered, way diff from me--I'm in one spot and loving it--love to travel, always glad to get home. One day, then this life or the next.

You got to wait for me to have my kid before I can go around sipping much of anything, but I'm not a JD fan. I'd try merlot, though, lol.

Iheartpocky, I don't think Jack is gay, but you've brought up an interesting point. Why isn't Jack a little more freaked out than he is? Shouldn't he be backing away? Maybe his twisted cool self wants to use that to his advantage. "If you love me, you'll just take Barbossa, Pintel, Ragetti, and Will and let me and the others go party."

Miz WilloftheWisp, one year + from May, then after CJ, darlin' beloved dutch nephew to KMC piratista aunties, has one year and has received most of the cool immunity thingies from you--not a prob--then we powwow--Merlot to start, it's soooo good with cheeses.

Oh, girls, life is so good to imagine--my favorite Einstein quote--Imagination is more important than Knowledge. Yep.

oh, and my favorite political quote--even if it's off topic:
If their peckers in your pocket their hearts and minds will follow. President Lyndon Baines Johnson. Old SOB was funny and real.

Thanks for the possiblities!! 😄

I think Beckett gets off on people threatening him with a gun, but the love of his life is Jack who could never love him the same way.
