Watched a really wonderful period film entitled "Belle" last night. While outside of the GAOP it really deserves a viewing. the story is about a mixed race girl born to an officer in the British Navy who he takes back to England to be raised as his heir by his uncle. In is set at the time of the Zong Massacre. Might be a little tough to find on DVD but very enjoyable.

I picked up Black Sails, season 1 on DVD. I was able to watch the first episode early but other than trailers had not watched any of the show. Despite many historical, equipment, and costume concerns expressed by the community I found the show very captivating! Very exciting, well, acted and very, very well written. Many episodes depicted a tension you could feel as you watched the show. Deep plots and with lots of exciting characters. The battles at sea were intense! If you have a passing fancy for action and adventure with a piratical theme give the show a try! I have been told that we will be able to enjoy at least 3 seasons of Black Sails. Anyone else watch…

TREASURE ISLAND (2012) Directed by Steve Barron. Featuring: Eddie Izzard, Toby Regbo, Rupert Penry-Jones, Daniel Mays, Philip Glenister, Donald Sutherland, Elijah Wood, Shirley Henderson, Nina Sosanya, Geoff Bell, Shaun Parkes, David Harewood. Rating (from 1 to 5): 2 Most adaptations of Treasure Island have stuck to well-charted waters, with low risk and low reward. Steve Barron strikes out into unknown soundings, which makes for a more exciting voyage at first, but ultimately he strikes a reef and sinks. Stevenson’s story is still there in outline. Young Jim Hawkins finds Captain Flint’s treasure map, evades the pirates who are look…

Remember it? Pretty good song! First appeared on their "Works, Vol. 1" album in 1977. Here's a video (with some fun images!): Here are the lyrics: Who'll make his mark The captain cried To the devil drink a toast We'll glut the hold With cups of gold And we'll feed the sea with ghosts I see your hunger for a fortune Could be better Served beneath my flag If you've the stomach For a broadside Come aboard my pretty boys I will take you and make you Everything you've ever dreamed Make fast the guns tonight we sail When the high tide floods the bay Cut free the lines And square the yards Get the black flag stowed away The turk the arab and the spaniard Will soon …

I have the modest goal of seeing and reviewing every pirate movie ever made. I will try to post one review a month. I will start by reviewing as many versions of Treasure Island as I can.

Kicking back watching Peter Pan with the wife as she has never seen it and I couldn't help but notice that all the pirates (including Hook) are either barefoot, in sandals or barefoot . . .

I am trying to figure out something about this image - who drew it, when it was drawn, what it's called or anything to help figure where it's from. It's all over Zazzle - suggesting to me that it's a public use image - where they explain that it's a "Vintage illustration black and white pirate fairy tale story image with pirates drinking and carousing on the deck of their pirate ship." A pirate fairy tale story? Anyone?

Hello! Apparently the Smithsonian Channel recently had a factual program on pirates. Did anyone see this and could you tell me if it was as factual as they claim it is? Thank you!

The Thunderbuss MK IV I started on another ray-gun, the “Thunderbuss MK IV.” I figured that people would be interested in seeing how I put it all together, so I will be taking pictures of the process step by step. I can only play with it occasionally, so it might be awhile between post. When I start a project like this, I really don't know how it's all going to fit together... I just kind of play with everything and see what fits together the best. I do want to rig it with lights that turn on when I hold the pistol grip (I'm thinking of making a switch that is an extension of the trigger guard). I also want a laser and a piezoelectric buzzer that will activate when the …

(oops! sorry about the spelling error!) The first one was "amusing", but I thought the second was a little tiresome. I am probably alone in thinking this, but Jacks antics were "fresh" in the first movie, but, now familiar with his character, they felt "overplayed" in the second edition. I had no problem suspending my disbelief and went into it with an open mind too. I don't think Disney will trick me a third time though.... Anyone else? GoF

Recently , Eye held an event that originally was going to be called "Buccaneers Bowling for Boobies" But alas that did not go over so well with the Charity "Busted Foundation" as they already had a group named "Bowling for Boobies" and so It was named "Buccaneer Bowling" Eye have attended alot of Charities over the years but this is the first one eye held on my own.. My intention now is to get other Leviathan members involved in putting on the same event in other cities simultaneously next year. We can make a bigger impact in fund raising that way and possibly start a national competition between Buccaneer bowling teams. Also eye plan on writing a one page article for M…

Ahoy! I am a Huge fan of board games. My favorite being Settlers of Catan. I own many copies of the game but they all have one major flaw; Durability. The tiles and cards are all made out of cardboard which tends to bend or warp over time. I am working on making a copy of the game out of sealed wood this way they are stronger and more resistant to water damage. I've decided that while I'm at it I'm going to tailor the game to my interests and make a Pirates of Catan. The issue I'm having is with the actual game pieces. In Settlers of Catan the players work with 2 types of pieces: Settlements and Cities. I'd like to do something along the lines of Ship and Hideou…

I am happy to report that the game Pirates Of The Burning Sea is under new management. The game is leaving Sony Online Entertainment and Flying lab Software, and being managed now by Portalus Games, ( www.http://portalusgames.com/ ) which has been put together by three original developers of POTBS. I regard Pirates Of The Burning Sea as being one of the best player vs. player systems which celebrate the Golden Age Of Piracy. There are a number of anachronisms and fantasy features - (is a voodoo reference a fantasy feature, really?) but the opportunity to go broadside to broadside in annaval actions involving 2 to 48 live players in a single instance if for me just t…

This past weekend I watched a Master piece theater version of "Frenchman's Creek" from the late 90's. I really enjoyed the DVD. Purchased it from Amazon for under $15.00 USD. I don't know how period the costuming is but it looked wonderful! Considering reading the novel having seen the movie.
