I do not know the answer to Mad Woman Cheryl's question, but I'll bet the music is remniscent of another composition rather than directly borrowed. I noticed that much of thos music is remniscent of something else or directly borrowed. Most of directly borrowed stuff is from the first soundtrack - sometimes the borrowed stuff is appropriate, sometimes not. Many of the uses are just plain odd. Take The Kraken track. I like this track and it gives the Kraken it's own ponderous motif, although it is interwoven with some organ music - music that sounds vaguely like the old Phantom of the Opera organ music. (Not Webber, the old Phantom organ music). Now this is weird. What do…

I know there was a lively discussion of the whole eye-patch issue in another thread. Last night they were advertising the pirate mythbuster for next wednesday. From their site: Episode 71: Pirate Special Arggghhh, me hearties! Jamie and Adam plundered the seven seas in search of pirate parables and maritime myths. The result? This 2-hour spectacular episode! And, with four stories of hijinks on the high seas the action is thick and fast. Playing with more firearms, the guys try to figure out how deadly cannonballs really are versus the splinters sprayed from a mighty broadside blast. Kari, Grant and Tory on the port side decode the mysteries of the ol' pirate eye patc…

I don't know if anyone else has seen this but I saw this storyline on a couple of spots and wanted to know if anyone else knows this, concurs, disagrees, or whatever have you for information. From what I read online (and some of it under Black Pearl - Wikipedia) ......seems that Jack used to work for the East India Trading Co. and worked for Beckett. His ship was named the Wicked Wench. Jack was ordered to pick up a cargo from Africa and deliver to the Carib. His cargo was slaves in which he did not want to do. He delivered the slaves to freedom (I think this is where Tia Dalma comes in, slaves are delivered to her isle). For this Jack gets the compass. Beckett go…

Was in Las Vegas this past weekend with the wife. We were strolling through the Venitian when she asks me, "Isn't that Ron Jeremy in front of us? And is that a pirate T-shirt he's wearing?" She was right on both accounts. The shirt read something along the lines of "Pillage, Plunder, Ingnite" (or some such thing) and had a stylized skull&cutlasses. It seems to be part of his company's marketing, which isn't directly related to pirates. Turns out he was their for a giant porn trade show (AVN Tradeshow and Awards). Walking up a bit further was the entrance to said trade show, with a big screen TV repeating a (G-rated) teaser for Pirates: A Joone Film part 2. This wou…

I was trying to find something about Davy Jones in POTC 3 and found this pic of the Flying Dutchman. If you purchased the 2 DVD set for Dead Man's Chest and have listened to the Audio Commentary from the 2 writers they mention that the director (I believe it was) wanted to have the front of the ship constructed for the shots when it surfaces from waves look realistic. Great job to the Disney crew for this mockup Photo of Flying Dutchman

OK.... I know they are out there.... and if I took some time, I might be able to find a few sites...... but some other member of this here pub may know the good sites already..... I'm kind looking for the really bad "Mary Jane" stories..... something that was not intended to be that way, but is so poorly written that they are funny.... Of course other readers in the pub, may be looking for better written stuff.... So .... If you know of any fan Fiction pages, could you post them.... (a note about if they are good or so horrably bad that they are funny would be helpfull) as would a note about possible adult content..... I have no problem reading bad sexy trash... but I …

Thanks to Godless Savage on Crossing Blades: *Note: You will have to put the disk into your computer to get them. DMC DVD Easter Eggs So far, I know of four--all on the 2nd disc of the 2-disc set. I find them much easier to get to on the computer, because you can just move the mouse around until something highlights. If you are using a TV remote, you'll have to do some inventive clicking. In the main menu screen, you can get a leaf to highlight above the menus--that plays a featurette on the catering (try left clicking twice from According to Plan). Talk about having to feed an army! And in some cases, they were doing it while the kitchen was basically flooded, LOL.…

Arr... Just in time for PirateMas, Zizzle has released more of their 3 3/4" figures. At me local ports O' Call I have found Final Duel Jack, Final Duel Will, Ragetti, and Barbossa. Th' Jack and Will are just coatless and in a fightin' pose. Barbossa is pretty cool lookin' and Ragetti comes with Davy Joneses' chest and key. Now my Pintel shall never be alone! On a somewhat related note those of you into MegaBloks Pyrates or the MegaBloks PotC, TRU has 40% off all MegaBloks. So you too can get th' Black Pearl for around $24. It probably lasts until next Sunday.

I got the idea from a vendor at Ojai who had made clothes for skeletons. I figured, 'hey I'm a costumer, I can do it too! Well I made sailor clothes for my Kermit, how hard could this be?' Trust me, I won't be doing it again. You really can't see the colors, but the vest is burgandy velvet out of a scrap that I had. I put some material from the hunting outfit I made on it too. Used a cut up bed sheet from a thrift store to make the shirt, though I did have to actually buy some buttons for that as I didn't have anything appropriate. Haven't made a hat yet, not sure I will or what with.

Anyone else see these? They had a POTC sneak peek action figure of Elizabeth disguised as a Chinaman. Came with a 3D coin that you hold up to the light to see a secret code. Type in the code at the Zizzle site and apparently you can access new footage of POTC3.

where do I go with this idea? I have a fabulous idea for a character called The Black Rose. She's a legendary piratess with unparaleled sword skills, a glint in her eyes that makes a sound of crossed swords when she senses danger, and fabulous special effects would surround her. She'd disappear in black smoke, and would end up being Jack's true love. Doesn't sound like much, but when all is said and done, breathtaking moves and effects would be part of her character. She would be a supernatural being who'd help Jack out of insurmountable odds. Oh, and she's have a wonderful black velvet wardrobe and a slinky sinewy way of moving. Jack wouldn't be able to resist her,…

I was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions about good novels to read, historical, historically influed (historic fiction), or even just good works of entertaining pure fiction. I've recently read Dudly Pope's "Buccanner", and found it to be pretty decent, and I have discovered that there are two more books that foolow it, and was wondering if they are worth tracking down. Today I bought "The Pirate's Round" by James L. Nelson, and when I opened the front cover after getting it home, I found that it is the third in a series. I got it at a used book store, so I am not terribly crushed about it, but I would like to know if the first two books are worth getting so I…
