Uncharted Waters

Inconceivable.

Look, I knew Superman Returns would be pretty much screwed once Pirates opened, but whoda' guessed the sequel to a film nobody expected anything from would wind up garnering the biggest opening day ever, and roll on to locking-up the biggest opening weekend in history?

Not me.

Hell, I dug the first film, and I'm looking forward to seeing this one (despite the universally bad reviews)... but here's how loyal I am to the Superman franchise: I refused to see Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest this weekend. That's right, you can't count our $20 amongst the loot Johnny & Co. hauled in this record-breaking weekend. Take that, Disney!
