In the wake of Pirates of the Caribbean II’s phenomenal box office, there have been a number of pieces (including my own) about the gulf between popular taste and critical preference. The best one I’ve read is this one from the New York Times. (Many thanks to avid MOWC reader Bill Musto for sending me the link.)
The irony is that as much as I know this movie will be trash, I’m going to spend $10 just so I can talk knowledgeably about its shittiness. Sort of like why I tried to read The DaVinci Code. To feed my hate.
