Dear Movie Reviewer

I know it's a hard job. You go out to see all the crappy little arty films and then have to come up with a few hundred words to convince someone, anyone, perhaps even yourself, that they are worth watching.

Then, every so often, a big movie comes out and reviews are all over the newspapers, TV and Internet so I understand that perhaps it's a nice change to recycle a few comments here and there. Nothing too much, just enough to, well, enable you to take it easy for a little while in a profession that is otherwise highly demanding.

With this in mind, I have a little request. Would it be possible for one of you to write a review (it doesn't have to be big, just a small one) of Pirates of the Caribbean that does NOT mention that Johnny Depp's inspiration for his character was Keith Richards.

Guess what? I know! I know because this is the THIIRD movie in a TRILOGY and we have heard the same frickin' line for the OTHER TWO movies already.

Enough. Please.

Hugs,

PS If Keith Richards really was the inspiration for Cap'n Jack Swallow, the character would be spending half the movie getting his stomach pumped or in a smack-induced coma.
