Caraccioli

Nope. Much older than those.

That makes sense. I'm sure I read it somewhere when I started wearing hats regularly - probably the reason I did it. It do, it do. For the longest time I wanted a navy fedora, but never found one. So I wore my black fedora with navy suits. It looked somewhat better than they grey and far better than the brown. Jeeves would have approved.

No, it makes sense to me, at least on this board. think about it. We are all pirates, free thinkers, not particularly bound by convention or rules. That pretty much describes Firefly. Pirates in space. Excellent point!

I used to wear a Fedora a lot - back when I wore a suit regularly. But I always felt it was unseemly to wear it indoors unless on your way to some place. I'm not sure where I got that idea from to be honest.

No. I have never seen that. This movie is considered by many to be a classic.

http://quizfarm.com/test.php?q_id=111863 I wound up in a tie and then I hit a wrong button and couldn't read the rest of my results: Star Wars Millenium Falcon 81% Serenity (Firefly) 81%

I feel bad contributing a next quote since I really didn't remember the movie - just the quote. But... "You've all suffered from their cruelty - the ear loppings, the beatings, the blindings with hot irons, the burning of our farms and homes, the mistreatment of our women. It's time to put an end to this!"

Groundhog Day is a nice little film. Just when you think there isn't anything else they could possibly do without overdoing it, they come up with something else. I happened to be in the town where they were filming this (Woodstock Illinois) on business and I got to see the town square set. That was kind of neat.

(This looks as good a place as any to put this.) I was just reading about the casting for the sequel to the Batman movie... They're going to include Harley Quinn! (She's a Doctor?) She makes a great foil for the Joker. Kind of like She-Go for Drakken in reverse.

Like you, I don't remember the movie, just the line.

Shall I serve it in a pail?

No undead!? It just sounds duller and duller the more suggestions this poor guy gets. In all seriousness, the public perception of pirates is quite different from the reality. The Quixotic among us may hope that a realistic pirate movie is the ticket, but the audience for such a film is most likely going to be far smaller as a result. As it is, POTC was one of the first commercially viable genuine* pirate movies in 30 or 40 years. For those of you calling for realism, compare the gross on the very well made and publically heralded as "more realistic" Master and Commander to the gross on POTC. Realistic pirate movies seem to be better suited to smaller budget TV fair than the big screen. * Not genuine in the historic sense, genuine from the perspective of not being Peter Pan or similar child-oriented fare.

Doesn't that make one or the other superfluous? (In today's culture, probably the book.) I think we are all miserable listening to pop music. (Say, cut it out you two. My Netflix list is filling up.)

Yeah, that's Serenity.

Yes, that's it. Now you think of a quote.

It do, don't it? It's not. The movie was made within the last five years and has already been used once in this thread. (I didn't like the quote used, though. I am redeeming the movie. )

"This class will be a waste of your - and what is infinitely worse - my time."

Cheat! It was an interesting movie, but nothing like movies today. It just sort of wandered around for awhile with various things happening, some of them a bit fantastic and others quite mundane. I must admit, I watched all two hours of it because I actually wanted to know what was going to happen though. So it succeeded on that level. (Turner Network Classics is showing Oscar and Oscar-nominated films all month.) I should have quoted another sign in the movie, but I couldn't remember it word for word. It was something like, "Weeks passed, but the woman from the city continued to stay. No one could understand why." Just that, nothing else other than the silent images. (Of course, had I used that, no one could have Googled it because I couldn't find it. That would have been nefariously obnoxious. At least you're honest about it. 8^) ) Your turn!

Nobody, huh? Second hint - it's a black and white film.

I was just talking to a music teacher about musical styles and how each new genre of music is initially almost universally reviled except by a few early adopters. You can go all the way back to the age of enlightenment and various styles of classical music find this sort of behavior. (Big band music was once considered immoral and indecent.) It seems to be the upcoming generations that enjoy new musical styles the most - until the music become so ubiquitous that everyone either ignores or accept it at some level. I suspect if GAoP pirates heard the music we listen to today, they would be appalled by the racket. Kind of like George McFly waking in the middle of the night and hearing Van Halen on Marty's Walkman and covering his ears as if he were in pain.

Ah, a movie I've never seen. Good hint. I feel obnoxious today, so I will give you all a very difficult quote to play with. "This song of the man and his wife is of no place and everywhere; you might hear it anywhere, at any time..." (I'll give you a hint. It was on cable TV recently.)

Insomnia?

? What did you guys find funny about it? It was more clever in the making than it was funny to me. On the page it linked to this one, which was just odd: Larry and Clyde

Dodgeball? (I don't know - I'm guessing based on the fact that I heard that that was a dumb movie with a pirate character in it. )

Apparently a green Cutlass if you believe the titles. (As for the short...it was mostly stupid. Must have been scripted on a soggy bar napkin. )
