Dumb Man's Head
There's a contest that is going on as I write this, where you can go and vote for your "Favorite (or favourite - for our Brits) Detachment From Reality" story over at Moobs' Place. They're definitely worth checking out.
I wanted to write something and post it over at Moobs' for the contest, but I've been kind of brain dead lately...or more brain dead than usual, depending on your perspective. So, to demonstrate how dumb I've been recently, in honor of the "Detachment From Reality" contest and to just tell you how disconnected I can be; Will and I saw Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest. It was fantastic and of course, I'm vying for the position of carrying Captain Jack Sparrow's baby (I fricking LOVE Johnny Depp). It was great fun and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. If you didn't like it, I really don't care, so don't tell me about how you didn't like it. Go pinch one and feel better.
Anyway, I was telling you how dumb I am. Well, the next day after seeing the movie and still blissfully remembering some of the scenes, I was lamenting the wait until the sequel, which doesn't come out until May 2007. So, I say to Will, "What if someone DIED before they got to watch the sequel??? That would suck. I would be pissed if I were them."
Will just looked at me with that are you serious??? look and says, "Umm...Bubba? (we call each other 'Bubba') I really don't think that if you're dead...you're going to care about the sequel to Pirates of the Caribbean."
Me, "Ohh...yeah...I guess so..."
Will (slightly incredulously, but still trying to give me some benefit of the doubt), "You GUESS so?"
Me (embarrassed and now indignant, with the nerve to roll my eyes), "Yeah, yeah, I know...I KNOW SO, OKAY? Jeez..."
***I wish that I could tell you that this was the first time that a notion similar to this crossed the blank spot in my head. Unfortunately, I thought about it with the Lord Of The Rings trilogy as well, just never verbalized it.***
Stumble It!

fucktard? they filmed these back to back, so i'm pretty sure 3 is finishing up. lol
I'll go with you if Will dies!
We'll take my boys and really freak them out!
You know how some people with terminal illnesses hang on until that next Christmas. Maybe that would happen with film sequels too??
You are funny.

A plane crashes on the border of Missouri and Kansas. Where do they bury the survivors?
P.S. I turned up the heat in Superstar's pool and I fetched a few beers.
I don't care if I am dead or not...
In hell or not, I would so be in between my flesh burning in brimstone, shout "What happened to Jack!? Tell me darnnit!"
I would probably get 'special treatment' after that outburst!
i woould ACTUALLY die if i had missed out watching the Lord of the Rings' last part!!!!
AAAAHHH!!! *shudder*
I see you listening to strummed harp music as you are on hold for the Odeon Cinema in Heaven.
"Sorry Mr Charnas, but the Archangel Michael has deemed Pirates of the Caribbean 3 unsuitable for display in Heaven. We do have back-to-back showings of Mel Gibson's 'Passion' and 'It's a Wonderful Life' though."
KC: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
I feel better as a blonde after reading this. Thank you for the public service you just did. (fluffs blonde hair and looks at the birdie flying-oooOooo)
I'm holding on for dear life to make sure I don't miss the next P of the C. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow, you may be able to tell from my blog *laughs*. I even named my canary after him LOL.
well hon i think you may have a point to some extent. i've had patients where you think FOR SURE they are going to die and they hang on and on and on.....
it HAS to be because they are hanging on for sequals.
that has to be it bubba! LOL!
m
It because Johnny Depp is just so hot it makes your brain go mushy :)
And by the way ... your ad today is for colonics ....these ad people just wont let it go will they? lmao
Hey, you know I've thought similar things. I know that someone wouldn't care about it if they were dead, but like if they REALIZED they were dying, they'd probably eek out, "FUCK, I'm not going to get to see POC3! GODDAMNIT!" with their last breath. Right, Kevin? Right.
(Also - I LOVE Johnny Depp. LOVE.)
oh, i'm totally with you. who wants to die with all that unfulfillment? ghastly!and liberal banana has got it right--it's not death itself, it's the *process* of dying know that you will never, never know...
do you think if someone wrote a nice letter they'd wheel out a screen and a pre-release, kind of like the Children's Miracle Network or something? "Dear Disney...my partner is dying of a delibatiating disease, but we know how you can make his/her dreams all come true..."
or something?
damn, damn double damn! Why didn't anyone tell me abt the party at Rainman's? See you guys over there!

~d - They don't bury survivors. Good joke, though!
Kevin, I saw Pirates of the Carribean, Dead Man's Chest last week. Great film, but, yes - really need to see part three.
Don't fancy Johnny Depp though. He's funny, and the part suits him, yes. But I'd rather Elizabeth got with him, and I could have Orlando Bloom's character. MMMM.
My grandmother was terminally ill and sat and watched Fox News Channel day in and day out waiting for them to find Elizabeth Smart and saying she wanted to live long enough to see her found. She died before they did but when I found out Elizabeth Smart was found after all that time, I called my sister right away and was like "NANA WOULD HAVE BEEN SO HAPPY!"
that's pretty funny...if you died just think of all the movies you'd miss...
i'd be bummed about a handful of movies :-)

Ha! I thought the same exact thing about Stephen King's Darktower series!
"Please God, don't let me die before I get to read the last book!"
Pirates of the Caribbean TOTALLY ROCKS. It rocks so much that Monkey Boy and I went on our first solo date as parents to see it. Then came home and told Spudly all about it and re-enacted some of the scenes for him.
There are never enough good pirate stories, so you would totally not want to die before you got to see part three.
That's probably why they made 2 and 3 at the same time, so that if a big fan is on their last legs, someone from the studio can race over to the hospital with a DVD.
You see, Johnny Depp's not just yummie but thoughful too.
Kevin, I'm not sure how it took me so long to come visit you, but I'm glad I did.
I have thought that before, but mine was for the Harry Potter books.
