Well, we did it. The theater was packed. The kind of packed where the ushers-come-around-with-flashlights-and-make-everyone-move-in-so-there-are-no-empty-seats packed. And the movie was showing on 4 or 5 screens, and they double-checked your tickets going in. And we had to park about 3 1/2 miles away. And a lot of the people were wearing pirate gear. And before the movie started an usher warned us that anyone caught with any type of recording device would immediatly be escorted out and the device would be confiscated - no warnings, no second chances. That really impressed the boys.By the time it was all said and done it was after 1AM when we left the theater. The parking lot was still packed as we hiked back to our car. Almost every screen in the theater complex had a midnight viewing, and from the looks of it, every seat was filled.
We sang the theme song all the way there and all the way back. We hashed over our favotire scenes and lines. We talked about the parts that didn't ring true, but decided we could live with them. And they definitely left an opening for another movie in the series, even though the PR has said this is "probably" the final Pirates movie. But at the very end, Jack hears of the Fountain of Youth .....
We will see it again in a few days to take in the details we missed in this first viewing. It was everything we wanted it to be!

Awesome! Good for you! You are SO the cool mom.
Ditto!
Although I am quite irritated at the selfishness of the ushers. No recording devices indeed! How in the world do they think much of the world is going to see that movie?!
Do they have any idea how hard it is to wait for a bootleg DVD?
Sheesh.
Ditto on the cool mom part too.. That had to be a high light for B/T..
And to Carla... how long do you have to wait for a good bootleg DVD???
