The new book "The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster" by Bobby Henderson was released today (3/28). At it's core it is about intelligent design, however, he uses lots of pirates in his own creation theory about FSM. For instance, the reason pirates are not as numerous...global warming. The book offers explanations on why men have nipples (why, pirates used them as portable weather stations). This is a silly read on a serious debate. Mags

Hello everyone! Julie and I are proud to announce that Monster Hobbies has re-opened in High River! We have changed our location from the hard to find 107 2a Ave Sw to a new, easier to find spot at 127 3rd Ave Sw. Simply turn right at the Fas-gas as you come through downtown via the old #2 Highway and continue on until you reach the end of 3rd Ave. Our new store is located beside Great Garb Clothing and has street front parking. This location is 3 times the size of our old store. This allows us to finally have simular items in the same location, such as the model cars which can now be displayed beside the Hotwheels and 1/18th scale Diecasts. There is enough space to…

Waitrose will be among the first to sell the new drinks, which go on sa…

I know that no official DVD of the Heston Treasure Island has ever been released but does anyone here know where I might be able to find an unofficial copy? I saw the movie a decade or so ago and remember it as being absolutely great but I've not been able to find it since.

This one is Marie-Antoinette, starring Kristen Dunst. It is based on Antonia Fraser's biography (if you haven't read any of her works, you might do so. This movie is to be released in the Fall of this year. It actually looks pretty damn good. Here is the site where you can see the trailer: http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony_picture...nette/high.html

I've been talking with a friend of mine recently, and we came up with a crazy idea... We're going to try and make a serious film, using our rather meager resources, and make it not be obviously low-budget. The kid's a technical genius, and after discussing it a while we've decided that it is in fact quite possible to pull off with a few certain techniques, and some of the equipment and acquaintances (and their equipment) that we have at our disposal. So far we've done a bit of work into the plot now that it's been deemed possible, and we've decided it'll be in a renaissance-type setting, in a somewhat fantasy land due to the fact that filming based in Iowa without optio…

There's been references to him in various posts over the years, but I'm trying to get a head count of sorts. But there's got to be more than a few fans of POB around here. Anyone else read all 20 (or 20.5, for completists) novels in the Aubrey/Maturin series? I'm on my second trip through, currently just starting "Treason's Harbor" And for you unfortunate folks who have never heard of Patrick O'Brian, he is best known for the film "Master and Commander" which was based on his 10th book in the series, "The Far Side of the World." His writing style is often compared to Jane Austen. He creates a very complete sense of life aboard a Royal Navy ship during the Napoleon…

My friend Sea Wolf got this email yesterday, and it sounds like it would be fun to check it out: On April 1st the production crew for the movie "Remember my Isa" will be at the Louisiana Renaissance Festival to film three scenes for their movie. Anyone who would like to be an extra in the movie can be a part of it by coming to the festival site at 9:00 am in garb. When you arrive, just ask for Paul Orr (assistant director in charge of extras) or for Keri Jenkings (director). If you would like more information about the movie or the crew creating it, please visit www.remembermyisa.com. Here is a quote from their website dealing with the scenes that will be shot at LRF:…

I was just thinking about Danger Island today, and wondered if any of you piratey sorts remembered this one-season kiddie show. It aired on the Banana Splits show waaaaay back in '68/69...when I was just a weeeee lass, and it's probably the reason I've always had a fascination with pirates... Danger Island Dang - wish I could watch it again, for old times' sake... das

had an assignment to write The sea swells and my feet are firm upon the deck With wind and spray blowing in my face The well worn line running out through my roughened hands The sheets bellying out, full of the awesome power of the heavens This day begins as have so many others With the body straining to meet the sea The bosun whistles to have hands aloft Unfurl the topsail and set the trigallions, we need speed to reach the lanes My mates are sensing the days peril ahead We all silently pray that our prey comes gently Six bells and there be no hail from aloft Our hands are busy with the preparations for action When at eight bells less a quarter we hear a …

Hey gang - TCM must be in Pirate mode this weekend! ***See my thread below about the airing of Blackbeard the Pirate on Sunday morning.*** TONIGHT at 2:00 AM they are showing The Spanish Main...a VERY enjoyable Technicolor pirate flick. If you like Maureen O'Hara in the Black Swan, you'll love her in this one too! Here is a link to the info: TCM: The Spanish Main Once again, break out the TIVO, DVR, VCR, etc...and enjoy! What a perfect way to cap off St. Paddy's, with copious Guinness and a classic pirate flick! EDIT:: I forgot that TCM's schedule isn't "real world". When they say 2:00am on the 18th, they mean Saturday night, even though it's technically the 19th a…

Good news! Turner Classic Movies will be airing Robert Newton's "Blackbeard the Pirate" next Sunday morning, 3/19. Early, at 6am. So set those VCRs, DVRs, Tivos and whathaveyou. Btw, wanna watch the trailer? Check it out - HERE at the bottom of the page. If you haven't seen this flick, don't miss it...it's a great chance to see Robert Newton doing a raunchier, more adult version of his Long John Silver.

Has anyone read Fell Cargo, by Dan Abnett yet? It's part of the Warhammer series and is supposedly about people fighting a bunch of zombie pirates. I'm tempted to pick it up, but I've never read any of the other novels in the series, so I don't want to pay good money for something that that's not going to make any sense to someone who isn't already familiar with the Warhammer universe. Can anyone give a recommendation either for or against it?

I really admire some of the members signature "graphics" here at the pub. Somebody has put some serious time into them... so I thought I would have a little contest. I will take nominations this week for the top signature graphics, and then post a poll next week. The biggest vote getter will get a prize from my treasure chest. I am not sure what yet, but it could be anything from a T-shirt, a set of original buttons, a book, fabric for a costume etc..... On second thought, I will say that the dead line for "entries" is 20 February. That will give some folks that have been meaning to get a signature graphic together a chance (and maybe some motivation?. Good luck …

Found this title listed on Wikipedia. IMDB lists several actors as 'Turkish prison guard', 'Turkish guard', and 'prison guard'. Just by the title, maybe someone will try to sail "to the ends of the earth". Barbossa could have been foreshadowing in the first film when he and Sparrow were fighting in the cave: "You're off the edge of the map, mate. Here, there be monsters!"

Okay, I know, don't believe everything you read, but in a magazine it said Keira is quite the diva on set. She's very difficult to work with, does not want the crew to make eye contact with her, has to have her hair and make-up always around so she's the most attractive person on set. They make it sound like she's a total bitch! Iron Bess, is this true at all or is the media just talking crap?
