Got Post Captain yesterday, while stuck in the Purgatory that is the Denver Airport.

Laughed so loudly at the dancing "bear" that everyone else at the gate started staring at me.

Ohmygosh, I love that scene. And Stephen with his castle. :)

Yes!

Or closer to the end, when Stephen tries to pun and there's just crickets chirping until the midshipman gets it. :)

Yeah, Stephen's puns are way too sophisticated for that crowd. Of course, once they get it, Jack decides Stephen is the second coming of comedy. One thing I love about their relationship is how Jack is always shaking his heads over how misguided Stephen is in matters Jack has questionable authority in - for instance, his conviction that Stephen is hopeless with money. :)

They were! I thought that film was very much underrated.

Actually, I still haven't seen that movie...
