Okay, the movie "Master and Commander - The Far Side of the World*" is coming out in November. It's got big ships, big guns, some nasty privateers... any buzz? Any thoughts? I've had the book on my shelves for years but I've never gotten around to reading it. Anybody read it? *Despite the title, I understand that Gary Larson was not consulted during the production...

While watching POTC I thought the sword Barbossa used was either a transitional rapier or early small sword. After viewing it up close, at the El Capitan exhibit, I see it has a single edge so it can't be neither of those two kinds of blades. Does anyone of what kind of blade could be a straight, single edge blade of that period? Or does anyone think it's just a made up blade for the film? Just wondering.

Wanted to send this as a Xmas gift to a Kidd fan - read a review that wasn't too favorable, but I think the person has a personal ax to grind against Barry Clifford. The discovery crew are on the defense on that review http://www.whydah.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=29 - finding buried treasure ain't all so glorious I guess....so I was wondering what you'all thought before I drop some hard won loot on this booty.

Just scored a new used-bookstore treasure: the elusive "Memoirs of a Buccaneer," by le Golif. Though this "memoir" is of doubtful authenticity it's a rollicking good read and not easy to find. If le Golif never existed in fact, he should have. Highly recommended.

I'm listening to the POTC score again....this thing is SO DAMN FREAKIN' GOOD. Rousing beyond belief! I'm listening to it daily now...helps get me thru those long office afternoons. Oh sure, it may look like I'm perched in front of a Mac, but my mind is a thousand miles and three hundred years away, engaged in a riotous high-seas battle!

When I put the second disc of extras in my DVD player, it plays fine, no problem. But when I put the first disc in, the actual MOVIE, the movie itself looks a bit . . . well, _narrow_. The black bars at the top and bottom of the screen are very small on my television screen, but it seems to achieve this by slightly smashing the film in a bit at the sides, leaving everything looking a bit narrower than it actually should. In other words, it's like my TV or DVD player is trying to make the black bars as small as possible, and so it smushed the film in slightly to make everything "fit" on the screen. This isn't the first DVD my player (or television) has done this to -- "Sha…

Hey there, pyrate illustrators. I am writing a pyrate story that will be a twelve issue mini-series. I am pitching it to some large companies, so there is no pay til it gets picked up. It will be a great opportunity to get your work out there. Here's a brief description: Dead Men Tell No Tales written by Dwight L. MacPherson In 1698, Captain William Kidd captures the Armenian vessel, the Quedagh Merchant. Along with the loot, Kidd discovers an ancient map thought to date back to the 1300s. Kidd was forced to leave the Quedagh Merchant off the island of Hispanola, and was hanged from the gallows in England...never to return to discover that the ancient map would lead to …

Yes, that's right. I haven't seen Pirates of the Caribbean yet. I can hardly wait to see it on December 2nd. I am in the Army and was deployed when it came out. I haven't been so excited to see a movie in years! I always rode the ride at Disney World three or four times when I lived in Florida. My parents would say "again?!" Ah well, I have heard the reviews and everyone here seems to be in love with the movie which only deepens my yearning to see this film.

Ahoy Thar, T'is true that Hornblower be a British Navy Officer and not a good and true Brethern of the Coast, tho he would be a fine edition to any crew that sails. In december of this year not one but two brand new Hornblower movies from A&E will be coming to your local A&E station. I don't have the web address handy but if you punch in Hornblower into any search engine you should easily get to the official web site. In it you'll find trailers and other useful information on what I think are very well made and exiting tales of a most renownd sailor. Next thar be a new book by Morgan Llywelyn simply titled "GRANIA". This be the tell of the real life Gr…

There is one in particular I am looking for, and I don't remember whose it was, if anybody can remember... It was basically the skull crowned in roses, (I believe the Grateful Dead appropriated it for a time, eh) I found a whole slew of really great ones! Blackbeard's devil spearing the hearts was one of my favorites! Any ideas? Pictures?

We have another pirate-themed video game on the horizon - check it out at VoodooIslands.com. This one looks to be a third person RPG type. You'll be able to play a pirate, conquistador, voodoo dude (my word, not theirs) or a merchant. The screenshots look fun - not too realistic but not too cartoony either. Kinda remind me of Pirates: The Legend of Black Kat (but with less cleavage.) The website is dark and creepy with lots of skulls and ships - dig around and you can get a couple of music files that are quite fun. It's intended to be a semi-realistic game with lots of pirates, a smidgen of magic, and at least one charmed monkey. They also boast that their water effects…

There I was, sailing on the seas of San Diego, and none of the crew had enough energy to go and see Master and Commander after a day on the water. I'm thinking that's okay. The Pyracy Pub members will have a report on it by the time I get back. WHAT HAPPENED? I know it's not a "pirate film", but the HMS Rose is deserving of an audience upon herself. Surely, some of you have seen it. Comments?

Me ol' lady got talked into buyin' a refurbished Xbox system. I thought she'd gone daft, when she informs me that the video game version of Pirates of the Caribbean be only released on Xbox. I begins to see the method to 'er madness. She be the big vid game player in me 'ouse, and I usually give bad advice and steer 'er wrong while she's playin. The game be loaded with beautiful graphics. Anyone else playin' this?
