Rants & Raves of Jasmine’s Fiction

Aah, I love the smell of summer blockbusters.  The smell of sticky popcorn, leaky hot dogs, spilt cola, air conditioner and fabric cleaner lingers in the darkness.  Just the way I like it. 

And now that the X-Men have made their Last Stand, The Da Vinci Code has been decoded, The Poseidon has sunk, little CGI animals have gone Over The Hedge, Cars have zoomed by and the Omen has made its mark, we now await with bated breathe for the very hyped up and anticipated arrivals of:-

- The Man Of Steel complete with cape, knee high booties, blue spandex and red skivvies [Superman Returns];

- Capt’n Jack Sparrow, Davey Jones and his barnacled motley crew and the Kraken [Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Man’s Chest];

- the lady who lives in the swimming pool and freaks the caretaker out [Lady In The Water];

- drifting, racing, fast cars and hot chicks in Japan [The Fast and The Furious - Tokyo Drift]; and

- 3 thieving boys find themselves in the ultimate kung-fu battle of good and evil [Dragon Tiger Gate]

I wonder if there are other’s out there who’s like me in the thoughts that this new Superman might not be ‘all that’.  I can’t help but think that Christopher Reeves’ knee high booties, blue spandex and red skivvies might be a little too big to fill.  Ahh well, we’ll see when the time comes.  In the case the costume doesn’t fit, Superman Returns. *lol* Bite me!

Honestly though, I’m actually only truly interested in the antics of Capt’n Jack Sparrow, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann.  I’m also very curious to see what’s inside Davey Jones’ Chest!  I swear there’s a pirate somewhere deep down as I’m all for swashbucklin’ (these days we call it fightin’ & flirtin’), bootleggin’ (illegal copies of CDs & DVDs galore), rum runnin’ (drink up me hearties, yo ho), and generally lyin’, cheatin’, thievin’ (see my poker face)… AAAARRR!!!

So, meself, me sis and me mates will be headin’ out (in costume, savvy?) to watch the charity premiere (arr curse me kindness) on July 7^th (eat yer hearts out, ya scurvy swabs) and then the blood debt shall be paid!  AAAARRR!!!

To quote Elizabeth Swann, “there will come a time where you’ll have a chance to do what’s right.”

And to quote Capt’n Jack Sparrow, “Aye, I love those moments.  I like to wave at them as they pass by.”

Till then, We’ll Pillage n’ Plunder n’ Rifle n’ Loot; Drink Up Me Hearties YO HO!
