Ordering online

[azziria]

Because Amazon were so good when OotP came out (they had it delivered to my door at 07.30 on the day it was issued) I decided to order the TT EE from them (sometimes because of work I can't get to the shops for several days, and I wanted the EE as soon as possible). But Amazon are saying that they're dispatching it today, which means that (knowing the postal system where I live) I might even not get it until Thursday. (As it happens I could have gone and bought it - my cousin got her copy from ToysRUs just down the road on Sunday morning, dammit!)

So what do I do about PotC? Amazon reckon (if their website is to believed) that they're dispatching on the 5th with a delivery estimate of the 8th, which seems unacceptable to me given that the release date is the 1st. Do I cancel the order (waiting an extra week for it is just not on, however good deprivation might be for my soul...), and risk not being able to get to a store? Or do I leave it?

If the TT EE is there when I get home tonight then maybe I'll stick with Amazon. If not, then I'll cancel the order and drop them a line to tell them why.

I read this article somewhere a while back that said that Johnny had been able to relax and not worry about what he looked like when he played Jack because he wasn't playing the romantic lead.

Not the romantic lead, no, just the hottest thing in the film... honestly, did no-one see that coming?

I suppose if you're a Disney exec you're more used to assessing the desireability or otherwise of cartoon characters...

I wonder if Johnny himself knew what effect Sparrow was going to have on the female audience?

Well... the Disney execs weren't too happy at first, were they? ;-)

That's actually a very good quetsion, if he knew. I really don't even dare to guess the answer to that one.
