Not Another Lobar Pneumonia

Daughter and I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean – Dead Man’s Chest this afternoon. We saw POTC 1 last week and far from being the dated sludge I was expecting this was surprisingly good which led to today’s Swashbuckle fest. Daughter managed to sit rapt for all 2.5 hours and to not be too upset by the ever-stranger beings that made up Davy Jones’ crew. Nice to see everyone back from the first one including Kevin R. McNally as Joshemee Gibbs. Mr McNally (minus the equity-pleasing middle initial) played Jan Leigh in the BBC version of Diana, though the intervening 20 years have changed the idealistic and dashing young squire to Jenny Seagrove into a rum-swilling, old curmudgeon – and his character is worse.
