Movie and an MIT question

sinclair_furieRight, I saw Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (omg so long!) today. It was lots of fun, very funny and whatnot, thoroughly enjoyable. I'd give it... 8.5 out of 10, and bonus points for hot men. And Keira Knightly, who deserves a bonus point all to herself, though her dress annoyed me before she changed out of it.
Some not too spoilery things.
1. Norrington! When did you get so hot! Last movie, when you were courting Elizabeth, why didn't you just take off the wig and get a little scruffier? Because. Oh. My. God. You are very, very attractive, and Elizabeth is a very lucky woman for having your lust as well as Will Turner's and Captain Jack's.
2. Captain Jack Sparrow, while being a sexy beast et al, is incredibly camp. Crystal and I spent half the movie giggling about how he runs like a girl and sashays instead of, you know, strutting. Ah, slightly gay pirates with eyeliner.
3. Boy!Keira Knightley makes my world go round. And no matter what he says to the contrary, she makes Captain Jack's world go round too. Yup, new OTP.
4. Captain Jack! When going to ask a favor from what seems to be an ex-girlfriend or some such business, do NOT, I repeat, do NOT take your younger, prettier friend with you. I promise, she'll pretend to like him better just to spite you.
And. Part two of this post, which is actually far more important, even though I, like![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
abstractanthony, ask myself every day why I'm not having sex with Johnny Depp, while I only think about course registration once a week at best...
Ok, other MIT-ers. What are you putting down for the HASS-D lottery? Do you know anything about it?
I mean, I've looked at the course descriptions and picked the ones that sound interesting, but what about important considerations like, oh, teachers I've never met before?
Right now I'm thinking about Reading Poetry as a first choice, and then in vague order: Islam, the Middle East and the West; The Film Experience; Introduction to Women's and Gender Studies; Soviet and Post-Soviet Politics & Society, 1917-Present; and Introduction to Linguistics.
What think you all?
