Dear Mr. Wonderful,
There is a part of the Pirates of the Caribbean movie that won't stop
bothering me. Well, a couple of parts, including the fact that Johnny
Depp should have been wearing far less clothing, perhaps needing to get
naked and wet for several scenes.... but that is a different issue.
I recall that in the movie the Evil Bad pirates threw that kid's father
overboard, with a rock tied to his foot. Well, if he was one of the
ghostie Evil Bad pirates, wouldn't he have stayed alive that whole time
he was tied to a rock? If so, wouldn't that have given him ample time
to untie or bite through the rope? If he couldn't, then wouldn't it
have sucked to suddenly be all fully human, when the gold coins were
returned, and then drown to death?
Baffled,
Suspension of Disbelief

Dear Yo Ho,
You know what's wrong with Johnny Depp? Nothing, the fucking prick.
I mean, just go to hell already, why don't you, Mister Kissy Actor
Goodness. It's hard enough here on Earth without you angelic cheek-bone
warriors sucking up to all the French girls. It's not that I don't love
you - it's just that I'm sick of everyone else doing it, too.
Don't feel bad. I get this way about the Beatles, too.
Anyway. Pirate movie. *Ghost* pirate movie. Based on a park ride.
Logical problems therein. Listen: do you complain when water is wet?
The magickal precepts of the film do seem to indicate that our Elfy
Orlando hero accidentally murders his own father, while allowing the
more vile skeleton crew to be arrested. Then again, piracy was a
hanging offense. So those guys probably wound up as beef jerky outside
Port Au Prince.
And cheer up! If Dad *was* at the bottom of the ocean, the pressure
would have crushed him into ketchup before he got a chance to drown.
