I heard Gail being interviewed on the radio last weekend, forgot to see if anyone else heard it too. You can listen to it here: NPR: Buccaneer Trends and the Truth About Pirates (Gail Selinger, author of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Pirates, offers her insights on what's fact and what goes a bit overboard.)

Hollywood likes Colonial woman's story By Shawn Regan THE EAGLE-TRIBUNE (NORTH ANDOVER, Mass.) HAVERHILL, Mass.— Several independent moviemakers and scriptwriters are interested in bringing controversial Colonial heroine Hannah Duston to the big screen. Scott Baron, CEO of Los Angeles-based Dynamo Entertainment, a new filmmaking company that seeks to produce as many as five low- to mid-budget movies per year, said his writers have already started developing a script about Duston “to see if we can do her story justice while creating a moving and exciting film.” Duston made history March 15, 1697, when she was kidnapped by Abenaki Indians, who killed her infant daughte…

http://www.bampfa.berkeley.edu/pfa_program...ates/index.html ARRR, MATEY: PIRATES AND PIRACY WED SEP 6 2006 - WED OCT 25 2006 Avast, me hearties! We have charted dangerous waters to bring you this flotilla of films, from classic swashbucklers the likes of Michael Curtiz's The Sea Hawk, Jacques Tourneur's Anne of the Indies, and Alexander Mackendrick's A High Wind in Jamaica, to a strange brew of post-piratical features like Vincente Minnelli's The Pirate, Ulrike Ottinger's Madame X, and E. R. Nelson's The Pirates of the Great Salt Lake, each a broadside to the hull of the USS Hollywood. The recent rise of Pirates of the Caribbean has left us questioning just what kind …

So I log'd on to play earlier this week and noticed you can now have a pet to follow you around or wander around your home. Everyone (providing you have done a certain mission along the way) gets a pet rat. From there you can go to the palace market and buy something else. Either a small cat, dog, pig, sheep or big elephant. You have the choice of colour. For a wack more cash you can get a big cat like a tiger, lion, white tiger... all very cool. Of course I desided to get my pirate a cat. The 'tabby' colour is only orange. My silver tabby Higgins (one of my RW cats) may have something to meow about that. But I did get an orange tabby and named him Magnum (my …

(she did save one especially fer me tho.....)

Oh, dear, the postman just delivered this DVD that I mistakenly ordered from Amazon. I meant to buy Cutthroat Island, but got distracted by the "others who bought this title also bought..." links. It stars a highly unattractive Robert Shaw as the main pirate, dressed from head-to-toe in red [add a bit of white fur, and it would be a Santa suit]. The consolation is that Genevieve Bujold is the heroine. But worst of all -- it's in Widescreen format. Accchh! My TV screen's too small for that nonsense. Oh, well. I'd best pay closer attention before I click that "buy" button in future. Cheers, Hester

Hi, all: This summer, I've been reading lots of pirate-themed novels. I started with Daphne DuMaurier’s classic Frenchman’s Creek. I enjoyed it quite a bit, although I was emotionally unsatisfied with the ending. After finishing the book, I ordered the newly-released DVD of the PBS “Masterpiece Theatre” production. The costumes and setting were glorious, as was the actor playing the French pirate. However, I was horrified at what PBS had done to the story. They had “historicized” it, setting it during the ‘Glorious’ Revolution of 1688, giving the main characters ‘serious’ motivations of religious persecution, political loyalty, and family vengence for their acts of…

Does anyone know if there are remote-controlled model pirate ships available on the market? I've seen an RC Cutty Sark on eBay but that's as close as I've come in my Google searches. It would be such fun to have mock battles with a couple (or a fleet) of such ships at the beach at my cottage. The ships could have water-cannons to sink each other! Hmmm... I seem to recall there's an artificial lagoon at one of the parks in my area for sailing model boats. [i've only been there at night, for moonlight picnics on the beach, watching the Hunter's Moon rise.] I'll have to go down there sometime during daylight and talk to the RC boat owners and see what they know about pi…

The 'Flying Dutchman' Anchors at Castaway Cay The Flying Dutchman is the centerpiece in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, the blockbuster hit movie released this summer by Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer Films. The movie premiered in theaters onboard the Disney Magic and the Disney Wonder. Created as a floating movie set, the Flying Dutchman adds another dimension of enjoyment to the tropical flavor at Castaway Cay. "Castaway Cay is the perfect home for the Flying Dutchman, and we're thrilled to bring this added feature to the island," said Tom McAlpin, president of Disney Cruise Line. "With the recent opening of the film, this will give our gue…

This came across the Seven Seas Forum courtesy of Lady Stingray and I thought I'd pass it on for discussion and debate....... Pirates of the Caribbean 3 (rumored subtitle: "Worlds End") - Like the Back to the Future and Matrix sequels, the second and third installments of the Pirates of the Caribbean saga have been shot back-to-back. Filming on part two, Dead Man's Chest, ended in June, and when production resumed in mid-August, the focus turned to this as-of-yet-untitled sequel with the same cast and crew, including stars Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, and Keira Knightley, producer Jerry Bruckheimer, director Gore Verbinski, and writers Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio. Unlike …
