At World’s End, the third movie in the Pirates of the Caribbean series, was released yesterday. Unfortunately, I haven’t seen it yet.

In the meantime, you can view some movie clips.

Yahoo Movies has a new clip up about the Maelstrom Sequence, and some other clips as well. Personally, I like the Competing Captains clip.

A lot of you have probably heard of Netflix. They mail you a movie, you watch it and return it, and they send you a new one. It’s a pretty good service. Some of the discs can be scratched (often not as bad as Blockbuster’s), but most computers can play scratched discs fine. I just run a cable from my video card to the TV. The sound comes from my computer’s speakers, but that’s okay since their better than the ones built into the TV.

Now that I’ve finished ranting about Netflix, it’s time for the important part of the article.

Recently I found a useful Netflix-related site. It’s called the Netflix Fee Calculator. Just answer it’s questions and it spits out some useful information. You get how much you’re paying per DVD and the maximum amount of DVDs you can get in a month. Cool or what? My advice: Watch the movie as soon as you get it and then run to the post office right after.

Johnny Depp recently stated that he would like to continue acting in Pirates of the Caribbean films until the end of his acting career. Unfortunately that probably won’t be possible.

Disney–so far– hasn’t seemed interested in making any more Pirates movies after the upcoming At World’s End, most unfortunately. That could change you know.

“If they wanted to do Pirates 7, why not? There are new layers to Jack and situations that he can’t just talk his way out of, so it would be good to keep exploring the character,” said Jonny Depp.

I agree, there should be a Pirates 7. I’m sure Disney could be convinced as well. After all, More Pirates of the Caribbean films = More $$$ for Disney. Right?

There’s quite a bit of a commotion going on among Harry Potter fans. There are two posters for the upcoming Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix movie (normal, and IMAX).

It turns out that the IMAX people….adjusted the photo of Emma Watson (the actress who plays Hermione) on the IMAX version of the poster. Take a look at the animation to the left (created by a LiveJournal user). Big difference, right?

Did they really think no one would notice the differences between the two photos?

Anyway, enraged Harry Potter fans are talking about it all over the web. In PotterCast Episode #87, there was an interesting discussion about it. Everyone seems to want a comment from Emma Watson. You do have to wonder…what does she think?

EDIT: Melissa Anelli, webmistress of The Leaky Cauldron (one of the two largest Harry Potter sites), has authored a huge rant about this. It’s worth reading.
