I have no problem admitting that I have pooped on a pirate on occasion.

Sheesh, you are so predictable in your prejudices. "Blah blah pirates stupid. Blah blah, stupid pirates. Blah blah, yammer yammer." The same old, same old.
"The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter--'tis the difference between the lightning-bug and the lightning."  -  Mark Twain

I thought Mission Impossible III was the best movie of the summer. Pirates was fun, but MI3 was just all around well done and truly frightening. The best villain I've seen in who knows how long, a plot that kept me guessing right until the credits rolled (there's one unresolved twist I still think might have been a setup for MI4), and they finally made that face disguise thing make SENSE. Note: I never actually saw the first MI movie, and never saw the TV series, but I did see MI2 and thought it was laughably horrible. But MI3 was just excellent.
All Saiyuki fans should check out Dazzle! Emotionally wrenching action-adventure and quirky humor! (At least read chapter 6 and tell me if you're not hooked.) Volume 10 out now!
