I picked up the collected reprinted issues 1-3 and #5 of El Cazador yesterday. I'd been on the lookout for it, but finally found it in a small comic shop around the corner. Overall, it's really good. Some downright beautiful artwork! The only real downside is it's falling victim to the usual pirate-adventure clichés, as well as having a supermodel long-legged blonde as a pirate captain. Other than that it's thumbs up from me!

On E! I spoted Jerry Buckheimer talking in an interview how the are going to shoot POTC 2 and 3 together if Johnny Depp is a go. He also said, since Johnny loves Jack Sparrow so much, we shouldn't be worried that that will be a possiblity! Woooo!!! Sorry if it's a double post!! I saw that before I went to bed! Izzy

Wow! We just got word that the vote was 43% against Michael Eisner at the share holders meeting. Eisner was hoping for only 20% Roy was hoping for 30% I guess.... a Pirate slipped in there somewhere, huh? Looks like the battle lines are drawn! Avast!!!!

I know folks were discussing Cazador the other day, so I thought I'd share a bit about another comic book I found called "Scurvy Dogs." It's a black and white comic about Blackbeard and his crew. The catch? They live in modern times. No explanation is given (nor needed, really) about how this gaggle of pirate stereotypes ended up in our era, but that doesn't stop them from plotting mutinees from their cubicles, chasing after tankers of Tang, getting into wars with Hobo empires, and all sorts of other nutty things. Absolutely hilarious. I have a review on my website at Bilgemunky.com.

I must have way too much time on my hands lately, because yesterday a thought occured to me and I haven't been able to shake it since. Having seen the the new Peter Pan movie, I'm starting to wonder if on some (metaphoric) level Peter is a child version and Hook is the adult version of the same person. Think about it - Peter hangs out with the lost boys and refuses to grow up. He wants to play all day and romp around with fairies. Fair enough. But in time, the lost boys decide "enough of this," it's time to go home to a family and start growing up again. But Peter refuses, insisting instead to cling to his perpetual childhood. But what happens then? His friends have mo…

There's a fabulous book called "First you have to row a little boat," by Richard Bode. The book's a metaphor for life based on sailing, talks about things like the dangers of staying in a following wind (might accidentally jibe) and not watching for the boat a mile out so hard that you hit a log that's right on you. I got it for my high school graduation last year, and I'm trying to live by it. I think all ye pyrates might do well t' read it. It's Available on Amazon here...

This little bit of an interview was promo'd with "Why Johnny Depp won't live in L.A." but there is a wonderful gem in it where he talks about how much being Captain Jack Sparrow has meant to him because of the way kids react to him. Score 100 points in my book for this guy! At last, a celeb. with his head on straight! Cheers Johnny!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday I checked out bilgemunky.com and checked out one of the links. It linked me to an unofficial site of the POTC ride at Disneyland. I checked out that site and when I was done, I linked again to a site called Yesteryear that talked about rides and attractions that are no longer functioning at Disneyland. I went to Disneyland once when I was a mere cabin boy of 14 back in 1982. (Been to Florida more often) At that time Fantasyland was under total refurbishment, except for It's a Small World. On the Yesteryear site, it mentioned a restaurant that existed in Fantasyland up until this refurbishment, called the Pirate Ship. It was literally a Pirate Ship (I'm as…

Some had posted this in the PotC chat list on Yahoogroups. Not sure if this is true, but here is the info they had mentioned: After much negotiations between Disney and Regal Cinemas, the POTC Interactive in Tampa, Florida is ON!

I know this seems quite a ways off the subject, but bear with me. Was anyone here offended or discusted by Janet Jackson's little flash of boobie on Sunday? Obviously, there has been an awful lot of media attention payed to the incident. Is it really more important than the two mobile meth labs that were found in my own nick o' the woods (Kansas City) in the past year? Is it more important than the drug dealers and terrorists that are killing people every day in this country? Why should we care if someone slipped out of her bra in front of a camera? Why should it matter if it was intentional or not? In poor taste it probably was, but the media seems to have made it into a…

The Depp-meister has done it again! He's been nominated Best Actor for a BAFTA (British Academy of Film & Televison Arts). It's the British equivelent of the Oscar. This brings the number of nominations up to 3 for Capt. Sparrow. Very unusual for a comic performance. I'd be highly surprised if he doesn't get an Oscar nod. Another Hip Hip Huzzah for Captain Sparrow!
