Long, Winding, Confusing and bloody B O R I N G

If you were smarter than me and actually waited for a week after release to watch V3.0 of POTC - do yourself a favour. Save your money. And more importantly - you bloody time. Having booked the tickets a month in advance, I watched this horrible nonsense on Wednesday (23rd) itself. It was also the first day of my 5-day break before I got re-assigned to the Marketing Division at Mediacorp Radio.

Half an hour into this 'equally crap as Bollywood' and 'equally confusing as Rushdie' began, I had a strange feeling. Something I've never had in the past, despite opinions from Fred and Co, for teh first time, I actually felt that I was being fed nonsense by a studio that was out to milk the last cent out of a hugely successful franchise ... and the stupid audience that I was part of.

Every single cent spent was wasted on this shit. It was long, it had long boring dialogue sessions, it had stupid comedy (minus a few genuine laughs thanks to JD), it had crap action sequences and worse - it makes V2.0 look great. The ending shamelessly suggests that there might be a V4.0 out there.

Anyway, I am so fucking put off by the experience that I will use my 10 GV vouchers to watch movies from now till the end of July. By then for sure, I'll know if we plan to stay in Sinagpore or will be on our way back to Bombay.
