The entertainment rundown of the weekend:
- Saw Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End.  It was… okay, I guess?  Everyone says the third one is much better than the second one, and I’m not so sure — the third one was just as convoluted, with people changing sides and plots within plots and not knowing who’s allied with who… On top of that, it was freakin’ long:  almost 3 hours!  Definitely go to the bathroom before the movie starts and don’t buy a Big Gulp of soda before you go in.  But it was entertaining, and watching Keira Knightley for three hours isn’t bad.  Oh, and there is a short added scene at the end of the credits.
- Was fairly disappointed with The Sopranos finale.  Absolutely nothing was resolved!  It was just like another episode, and the cliffhanger was horrible — I even had to punch up news stories to see whether or not that sudden cut-to-black at the end was scripted or if it was my cable company screwing up. 
- Attempted to watch that new HBO show John From Cincinnati.  I say attempted because it bored the crap out of me, and I bailed out after 40 minutes.  I still don’t understand why the critics were raving about it.  I get the feeling that HBO is trying to put on shows that are weird for the sake of being weird because then people will think they’re “edgy.”
- Watched the return of The Loop on Fox and was amused by an outdoor scene that was supposed to be in Chicago but actually was filmed in Century City, right down the street from my old office and across the street from where I saw Pirates last night. 
- Am I the only one who’s been to a Starbucks recently, saw that they finally were offering orange mocha frappuccinos and thought, “Wow, someone finally convinced the higher-ups at Starbucks to watch Zoolander!"?
