The Kraken 1 2

Probably no legendary sea monster was as horrifying as the Kraken. According to stories this huge, many armed, creature could reach as high as the top of a sailing ship's main mast. Kraken's would attack a ship, wrap their arms around the hull and capsize it. The crew would drown or be eaten by the monster. What's amazing about the Kraken stories is that, of all the sea monster tales known, we have the best evidence that these are real. Early stories about Kraken, from Norway in the twelfth century, refer to a creature the size of an island. Even in 1752, when the Bishop of Bergen, Erik Ludvigsen Pontoppidan, wrote his The Natural History of Norway he described the Kra…

Can anyone help me out? I am looking for an old issue of No Quarter Given, the November 1994 issue (I think that's the one). I like the cover art on this issue, it depicts a pirate in a flat brimmed hat holding a spyglass. I collect the various covers for the magazine. This issue has been long out of print and I can't get it anymore without buying a whole collection of back issues, of which this one is a part, and I don't need the whole collection. Could anyone who has this old issue scan the cover for me? I don't need the whole magazine, just the front cover. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Greetings everyone! For anyone interested, I'm posting my review on the POTC Ride Rehab here. If you don't want to know the details, don't scroll down! V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V So this morning we decided to make a brief tactical excursion into the Magic Kingdom at WDW to peruse the enhanced POTC ride. We knew the park would be mobbed, with today being the 4th...but it was worse than mobbed, it was murderous! Luckily we got into the park just as the mid-day parade was going on, so it with some quick maneuvering we ducked the crowds and made a beeline for Adventure Land...coolest spot ever! The first thing that hits you when you ente…

Over at the Megabloks POTC site they have a freakin' hilarious little short film made with the POTC Megabloks figures. Anyone who's watched the original "Pyrates" short film on their site for their original line of figures knows that they do a heckuva good job using the figures and sets for stop-motion shooting, combined with some decent cgi stuff. Just click on "Toy Animation" on the index page, HERE. Fwiw, we got the Jack Sparrow and Davy Jones sets for my son in Publix of all places! We entered the "goody" codes but they didn't seem to do anything. Anyone else having problems with 'em?

There is a little lightning fast bit at the very end of the movie after the credits. It's not terribly important to the story if you don't want to wait it out, but it's good for a chuckle.

Found this online, it's mp3's of an old radio show, Afloat with Henry Morgan. Serialized pirate fiction at it's best (or worst perhaps, I haven't listened to it all yet). Naturally I thought of the hearty mates here might enjoy it. http://www.radiolovers.com/pages/afloatwit...henrymorgan.htm

Via the"Fore Topsail" from author James L. Nelson newsletter: "The History Channel will be airing a show called Real Pirates of the Caribbean on July 9 at 8 pm (check local listings. I’m not sure what that means, but that’s what people always say). The documentary will cover the true history of piracy in the Americas, and features commentary by a number of well-know pirate experts, including James L. Nelson. In an effort to explode the myths of piracy, the authorities were placed on a set dripping with every pirate cliche in the book, including but not limited to rum casks, chests overflowing with jewels and coins, and sundry cutlasses and other weapons. Despite that min…

Well mates, I am recovered from seeing POTC II at the El Capitan Premiere. I had a blast as I'm sure all of you read in the other POTC II threads. A special treat was the costume contest with participants selected by the suits of the theatre. Meself and one of me mates were selected. We didn't have a monkey's chance as there were many great Captain Jack Sparrows, of which one took home the prize of the new Handheld game. All participants of the contest received a World Premiere embrodired POTC II baseball cap which was quickly added to my collection. Then a raffle was held for an autographed poster and another one for Disneyland tickets. Alas I nor anyone I knew w…

I hope for some of you that you are going with enough people to take over the theatre. I myself will not go to see this movie until it has been out for sometime. I hate going to the theatre anymore and will only go for a special movie. This is one of those special movies so I will go to a theatre to see it, but not now. Not until the movie has been out so long that the theatre is almost empty. People don't know how to shut the f$#% up. People don't take care of their refreshments or restroom going before the movie starts. People don't come on time. People bring their unrulely children and screaming welps. People push against the back of your seat. People don't turn off …

By JOEL SIEGEL July 7, 2006 — I'm so happy this morning. I've got a birthday present for everybody. No, it's not your your birthday. It's my birthday. I'm three days younger than America. And the present? The best summer movie of the summer. The only way I can imagine a better summer movie is if Steven Speilberg and Harrison Ford get "Indiana Jones 4" done before Labor Day, and that can't happen because they don't even have a script yet. "Pirates 2" is that much fun. Here's what makes a great summer movie: Action — lots of action. And the action here is virtually nonstop. The special effects have to be special. But even with all that, movies are about characters, ne…

Irish Examiner 'Pirates' stars set for high-seas junket Pirates of the Caribbean stars Keira Knightley, Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom are taking to the high seas for real by joining a round-the-world yacht race, it was announced today. The Hollywood trio will help to crew a boat taking part in the gruelling Volvo Ocean Race. The vessel will be named the Black Pearl – after the pirate ship in the film - and its sail will feature a giant skull and crossbones. It is all part of a marketing stunt to promote the forthcoming release of the sequel Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest. The stars will split the race between them – Knightley will join the boat while i…
