Which It Is A Review Of Facial Expressions Exhibited By Orlando Bloom In The Film Pirates of the Caribbean

I reviewed the film POTC last night from the beginning until the scene in which Will hops up and yells "Avast!" At that point I realized, in a sense, "that dog was never going to move" and I grew tired of writing the same three things over and over.

Common Facial Expressions

Blank Stare: This is apparently Mr. Bloom's natural state.

Concentration: This is identical to Blank Stare, but his brow is furrowed.

Intent: This is identical to Blank Stare, but his jaw is clenched.

Vague Worry: His eyes narrow.

Confusion: His eyes look off to one side as though he is hoping the answer to whatever is confusing him is over there.

Confusion/Vague Worry: His eyes narrow AND look off to one side.

Hey, you're right! It's the same thing with "Troy" too.

Troy included "craven wibble," a courageous melange of confusion, outrage and major facial tics.

All the characters had major facial tics, especially Agammenon (sp?). It was weird.
