Do forgive my previous post. That was the work of my other personality.
On the subject of Pirates of the Caribbean, I have never watched Dead Man's Chest at all, until a few days ago. Before that, I was perpetually pelted with comments like "WHAT?! You haven't watched it YET?!" or "Which side of the planet are you at?!" or "Even my grandmother watched Dead Man's Chest!". So, with utter humiliation and distress (okay la, not that drama), I set out to get a copy of the movie.
DVD9. Original one. *wink wink*.....*wink*.
It was a pretty okay movie, despite it's occasional symptoms of Sequel Syndrome. I had a good time watching it, although it was a tad bit too long. But whatever it is, now I'm all set to watch Pirates of the Caribbean 3 and laugh at Chow Yun Fatt when he appears and says "Welcome.....to Singapore".

Currently, since I'm quite hooked to the fantasy genre these days (friend introduced me to it, blame him for turning me into a bigger geek) and I am currently busy procrastinating my work (I have to continue working on my thesis report after I finish this post), I'll list a couple of book-to-film adaptations I'm really looking forward to:
1.
Stardust (10 Aug 2007) - haven't read this yet, trying to get the book soon. Have read some of Neil Gaiman's other works though, awesome.
2.
The Golden Compass (7 Dec 2007)
3.
Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell (TBA) - Got the book as a birthday present from friends. Was a damn good read. Hopefully it'll make a damn good movie.
And last but not least:
A Song of Ice and Fire (TBA) - THIS takes the cake. Have read the first book of the series and it's bloody good so far. I separate this from the rest of the pack because it's not going to be made into a movie. Oh no. Instead, it's gonna be adapted into a whole damn television series! By none other than
HBO!
Okay, I better stop here before my geekiness and fanboy-ism devours me whole.
