This week we talk about Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. We look at how perfect Johnny Depp is as Captain Jack Sparrow, alternate casting choices, why the film’s success surprised pundits, how god damn fun the whole thing is, and the absolutely perfect music. We also close out the summer 2012 movie landscape with a look back at what we liked, what we didn’t, and why Premium Rush might be the greatest film ever made.
