I didn't see this.  I'm holding out for the movie based on Mr Toad's Wild Ride.

See, this is the idea that honestly terrifies me: the idea that they'll take Disney(land/world) rides based on features and end up making strange, derivative, parasitic-twin features about the rides. It's like what happened with "Jumanji" -- you got board games based on a movie that was based on a book about an imaginary board game. Had there been a book written about the movie tie-in game, it would have reached a near-ouroborous of pop-cultural incest, with resulting flipper babies.

Anyway, to get more back on-topic... yeah, you can't really heap enough praise on Johnny Depp in this movie. However sexy or unsexy you may find him, Jack Sparrow is a remarkably complicated role, especially for a Disney comedy/action movie; Depp layers eccentricities on pathologies remarkably well. All props.

Sparrow has effeminate mannerisms, and is ‘camp’ (if I may quote), therefore giving his role sexual ambiguity, but his general orientation is hetero. Of course his partners’ genders are irrelevent to a pirate who lives by the Law o‘ the Sea.

Keith Richards was hella sexy until about 1972. No more.

Wow, and I passed on seeing this film over the weekend to attend an outdoor screening of "Willy Wonka"*.  The things I miss out on.  However, I'm guessing that zombie pirates are not to be missed.

*In all honesty, I'd never seen "Willy Wonka" before, and my gf insisted we go.  I think she probably made the right call.
