Well, I saw three hours of Colonial House on PBS last night. All I have to say: to many freebies, too much incompetence. I remember Hawkyns said something about associates of his volunteering for the show and being turned down. Well, I have to say that "Colonial House" seems to be far more "reality TV" than the superior (and entertaining) "Frontier House." Some observations: Too many freebies. The houses were built for them, the natives spoke english, and there seemed neither any attempt nor urgency to try to do things in a time appropriate manner. "Frontier House" had its anachronisms, but the pioneers spent the first winter in a tent, because they didn't get thei…

Does anyone remember the really funny movie The Princess Bride? My friend got it in her head that she'd turn the movie/ book into a play at our school, so a bunch of us have been working on it and rehearsals 'ave started and it's looking pretty good, we've got lots a stage combat, and sword fighting, and acrobatics, and some really good actors. I'm really excited for it so I thought I'd share it with all you pyrates.

Greetings all! I am working on a script for an orchestra event we'll be guest soloists at (yes, now you have heard everything, pirates as guest soloists). The script could use a few Shel Silverstein poems about pirates. I think they're in Where The Sidewalk Ends. I found The Pirate, posted elsewhere on the site. Can anybody copy and paste any of the others into here? Thank ye kindly! -- Hurricane

I was wondering if anyone else has noticed that Johnny Depp's picture is reversed in the official movie posters? The pistol he holds has pan and frizzen on the left side of the barrel instead of the right side! Perhaps a customized gun? Also, just after the "Interceptor" explodes in the movie, Will climbs aboard the "Pearl", grabs a gun and audibly cocks it. In the next shot, however, the guns cock is back in the "safety" position. How come?

Sid Meier's Pirates!, the long awaited sequel to (or remake of) the classic Pirates! and Pirates! Gold has hit the stores this week. Has anyone here already played it? I am considering getting it and I' d like a few opinions. Although the graphics are stunning, the game seems to have remained much the same as last time around.
