ARRR!!! What be the name of the pirate movie that Sloth and Chunk are watching on TV during the film "The Goonies"? I always wanted to know, but I never bothered to find out. It's an old black and white film, and there's a guy swinging from the mast. It inspires them to chant "Hey you guys!" Is it even a pirate film?

It's not exactly about pirates per se, but it does include many of our sea-faring phrases. The mid-1980s BBC series "Blackadder" starring Rowen Atkinson (Mr. Bean) has a wonderful episode about explorers, specifically Sir Walter Raleigh. In the episode called "Potato", Edmund Blackadder proposes to sail around the Cape of Good Hope in a ship manned bye Redbeard Rum, a leg-less captain with no sense of direction. I heartily recommend it, me hearties! :angry:

Ahoy Iron Bess, I'd be beholdin' to ye if you could answer a question for me regarding POTC...perhaps it be a weird question. **Turns off the pirate speak for a moment** It seems that Disney releases a loads of official merchandise for their family friendly movies and such. But something dawned on me when I took my wee lass of a niece to the mall last week. We popped into the Disney store and it hit me...I don't remember seeing any official merchandise in stores at all, and come to think about it, none on Ebay either. However, there are TONS of what I am sure are illegal pirated items there as we speak...clocks, t-shirts, calendars, computer printed "photos" that a…

this is a stupid question i'm sure, but what exactly do you do with movie props anyway? I've been looking at these type of items an they seem to be generally greatly overpriced and made of inferior materials. example would be the pirate coin from potc. Would'nt something orginial or a good copy of something be as good? example would'nt you rather have a real period sword over a rubber prop sword? or is a fake prop onion bottle more desirable over a true 18 century onion bottle? Something intangable about them? thanks in advance

Just caught a portion of "Swashbuckler" on a cable channel. Had to be "one of the worst pirate movies I've ever seen"! The 1976 film stars James Earl Jones, Robert Shaw ("Jaws"), Peter Boyle as the evile gov'nuh, Beau Bridges (wearing what type uniform I have no clue), Genevieve Bujold, and Avery Schreiber. No doubt destined to be a classic, this film should be continuously shown (along with European Command AFN-TV commercials) to break the will of captured terrorists. Yours, &c. Mike

Hello, I just wanted to announce that I have written two out of three Scottish historical fiction novels with a female pirate captain as the main character (Ocean Eyes and Man of God). Captain Angelique is very rough-and-tumble, as I didn't believe any woman pirate would be sexy and wear lip gloss. I did not write these books to be romance novels; they are swashbuckling stories like the Three Musketeers. The third book, Order of the Cross, will be available within a few months and I will be at the Key West Pirates in Paradise Festival for a booksigning this year. I am also interested in starting a topic of discussion about Scottish fiction as it relates to pirates,…

I can't for the life of me remember who asked but... I know I said I'd ask the writers about where the name Barbossa came from. This email came from Terry today. Hope it helps!! <omited> <omited> Barboss'a name had, oddly, many influences. You might think it began with the Barbarrosa Brothers but at the time we were (or at least I was) only vaugely familiar with that reference. I would have probably associated the word more with the old Willie Nelson film. I think it started with the notion of the Barbary Coast or the Barbard Coast Pirate. Thr Barbary Coast Pirates were located in North Africa. I believe, though the reference is maybe more common to th…

Only one online comic I follow, but there's a pirate sighting in there too. Linky Better post your sightings as well. Can't be that there's nobody here that reads online comics, and can't be that that's the only one with pirates.

Windwaker is a fun little addition to the Zelda saga. Though, most people don't like it because of the cell shading. I love it. And what's best of all... most of the time your in a talking ship! And pirates help out along the way. These pirates are funny too.

I subscribe to a monthy gaming magazine, and this month it gave me the head-up about a new pirate-themed game coming out called Galleon: Islands of Mystery. It focuses on a young pirate named Rhama Sabrier, and his quest to recover a magical herb. The writers promise that the game has interesting combat play to give the game a new kind of edge, especially for a pirate-themed game. Reviews say that the game's best aspect are the story and characters. The story isn't anything new, but the character interactions are entertaining and well written with good voice acting (something not found often in games, I'll tell you that!). they also say a bit about the tricky gameplay. …

I know I have not been in the Pub lately but wasn't sure if any of you had seen the Terri Clark video for "Girls Lie Too"?? The reason I am asking, is they have a gentleman dressed as Capt. Jack Sparrow in it for the lady star to fantasize about. It is pretty funny. Just thought I'd ask.

That's right. As some of ye might know, Redd be a concept artist at a video game company called Backbone Entertainment. I created a character that is being much talked about of late - Death Jr.! So far, the game is the only original title being released on SONY's new game platform - the portable PSP. Just do a Google search on Death Jr. and PSP, and you'll probably find info on it. The joke around the office is that I'm Death Sr. Anyhow....they're planning (now keep in mind...it's still in development hell...which means it may never see the light of day) to make a movie based on the game! Already! Well...they put an article out in the June 14-20 issue of Variety Magazi…

Yo Ho! The Scurvy Dogs what brought International Talk Like a Pirate Day into bein' have a book out and we think it's bound to produce a wave o' belly laughs. Ol' Chumbucket and meself proudly announce the release o' our first book: "Well Blow Me Down: A Guy's Guide to Talkling Like a Pirate." Since our idea o' research involves more beer and pizza than actually lookin' stuff up - it won't be all that useful to the serious academic. However, it will give ye plenty o' laughs and pointers on developin' yer "pirattitude." Anywho, it's available on our website www.talklikeapirate.com and perhaps soon to a bookstore near ye! This week we are guests o' the Seafair Pirates in…
