Yep, i was there with my wife yesterday night.
For those who missed the whole thing, Nuffnang booked the whole cineplex Hall 9 for the special screening of ‘Pirate of the Caribbean: At World’s End‘ on opening night.

I saw a few familiar faces there, like Jolene and yee hou, and Jeff (okay, well, everybody knows Jeff…). Also at the counter, managed to say ‘hi’ to Nuffnang’s Timothy, always the nice guy. I also bumped into Earl-Ku while lining up for our free popcorn and drinks (sponosred by Exabytes). Also met Zeo and partner while going in. Also saw jason and cely. Oh wait, i also said hi to Wings before i got booted off the VIP seats…
On the whole wasn’t really in the mood to socialize, partly because i was very tired from my extremely long day…
So the movie? Well, it was okay, i won’t spoil it for those who haven’t seen it. But you know, it has all the hallmarks of a summer blockbuster – swashbuckling action, romantic side-story, snappy one-liners, convulted storyline, everything. The whole queer pirate Johnny Depp thing got a little tired some time 20 minutes in the previous movie, and here they still manage to milk it to the max. But all in all, great movie, albeit the ending with Elizabeth and Will Turner, um… never mind.
Anyway, thanks a bunch to Tim and the guys at Nuffnang, it was a great event, touted as the largest gathering of bloggers in Malaysia. Let me plug them for a bit – if you want to make some money from your blog, try them out – it dun matter if you have 4 or 4,000 readers, it still works. End of plug.

well i happened to have LOVED!!!! it! sure they could have shown more Jack, but hey! It is definately a do-over for me! things could’ve gone differently, but that is a personal opinion in the coupling..jack/elizabeth was my pick!!! Anyways, i hope there is going to be a fourth one! and in the meantime, i’ll pass time with the third! I LOVE JACK SPARROW!
