I met the girls' aunt Andrea ("Ga-Ga") to pick-up the girls. They'd spent the week with her, and she's returning to San Francisco tomorrow. We had some lunch and snapped an obligatory pic, of course, and the girls and I headed to the movies.
I figured they'd want to see Nacho Libre or something, but when I asked what they wanted to see, it was Pirates of the Carribean. I was shocked because Shelby is easily frightened, and she's balked at much tamer movies. We tried to work in a 2:10 show, but that was sold out, so we bought 3:50 tickets and got some ice cream.
Even though we returned to the theater 45 minutes before show time, we ended up in the middle of a very long line to get in. Our seats ended up being not the most desireable (though it could have been worse). And it was like 4:06 before the movie actually got started, which is not the best way to kick off a two and a half hour long movie.
The movie was pretty good, though I'm not sure it was better than the first. And it was definitely a middle movie. Similar in that way to Lord of the Rings II. I'm sure it will fit nicely into a Pirates trilogy, but watching it on its own made it obvious there would be a third movie. Shelby handled it surprising well. And overall I think everyone had some fun, as it was a fun movie to watch if nothing else.
