    Getting back to Avalon, I need to finish me trainin'.
  1. After a summer of good writing, not so good writing, real pirattitude and some who were weird...congratulations to the winner...someone from the pub!
  2. Idle only did this movie as a favor, he thought the script was horrid. I was surprised by all the big names in it, it was campy, and I thought it was pretty funny. At some point I will probably add it to my collection, as I Netflixed it first.
  3. Count me in as a pastafarian!!! (BTW...did you read the book? verra, verra funny)
  4. It's pretty funny that some are so offended that not everyone thought this was an Oscar worthy, top notch, now I have seen the best pirate movie ever so I can die in peace movie. It was typical sequel, flat, ...but one with excellent marketing and merchandising. People, none of you are the know all end all....everyone is entitled to their own opinion, okay? And as we learned from the Jedi, may the Force be with you (wink)
  5. For me the only worthwhile scene was the very last one. Too much special effect biz, characters that were not credible, too silly at times. Will I see POTC3, heck yes, I can stare at Johnny Depp all day long. I hope they work more on the script and less on the computer effects.
  6. My personal obervations...as far as pirates go, lame. Just how many "ho-pirates" can you fit in one venue? Seriously, a lot of really stupid "crap" for costuming. Just what pirate wore stilletto boots, shiny armor chest plate, a fox tail and maribu feathers???? Sometimes just too silly. As for the faire itself...I had an enjoyable time. Loved the commedia show, if you go next weekend make sure to take it in, it's at 12:15. As it rained heavily Saturday, Sunday when I went was very, very croweded. Next weekend is "Romance" weekend, the weekend follwing "Celtic."
  7. I will be there Sunday. I also know that the students from the Summer Theatre Institute at SUNY Oswego will be there Sunday.
  8. Kracken with a tiny Harry Hamlin....on a tiny Pegasus to the rescue of Andromeda.
  9. Tres bien cuit pour des etidiants. J'ai pense qu'il amusait. J'ai aime le canard dans l'ocean sur la carte. Merci. Mags
  10. These are called "Easter Eggs." The one in the first movie played prominently at the end of the second...Barbossa, apple, Jack the monkey with coin. This one in PoTC2 was very short, but I am assuming it also will tie into the next installment.
  11. It's too bad you can't make it across the St. Lawrence and down to Sterling on pirates weekend...we will be missin' ye. That's a nice set up...were the movie goers interested and respond well to you? Mags
  12. Maychance the Kracken took this very moment to become Vegan, and thus poor Jack is saved from being lunch. Hey, it's about as believable as Davy Jones' band of pirates.
  13. These are just my opinions, so no one shoot me, please. Saw the movie with the kiddos today...nothing close to the thrill of #1. It was the typical sequel let down. The best scene for me was the very last one. Davy Jones' crews...very unbelievable, so much so, they were distracting and took me "out of the movie." They could have come up with something better than Star-Wars left overs. Seriously...to come on here and see the comments about Empire Strikes Back made me laugh, I was telling the girls on the way home that this POTCII reminded me of the Star Wars original films. Okay, now for predictions....I got a "feeling" in the movie, don't know why...but I wonder if Davy Jones' "heart" was Elizabeth's mother, and he is her father. Perhaps an acquaintance of the governor, who adopted Elizabeth at a young age after Davy's "demise." OMG...more Star Wars. Anyway, it was something about the way he looked and the dress...something. Also, after the Easter Egg in the first one was so awesome, I felt this 15 second Easter Egg was a let down. As for the Kracken...I was expecting Harry Hamlin to ride Pegasus to the rescue!!!!
  14. If you play "The Black Pirate" on fast forward it is fabu (it is a silent film, so nothing is lost).
  15. Since I spent 15 years myself in Baltimore I would welcome a contingency from MD. Will be there on Sunday of Pirate's Weekend.
