LadyBarbossa

::le sigh;:: Ahhh.. Yes. JI as Tavington. I adored him in that role. I still cry when Tavington is killed at the end. Mean Ben Martin. KW pirate.. that's always the problem with gawking at JI. Be it in costume for a movie or not. My fav pic that is not related to a movie.. is of him... all in demin & cowboy boots... leaning against the black of one of those Blackwood (I think) trucks in a sort of old west backdrop. :: le sigh:: wow... Yes, Jason did a fantastic job. But... I don't know, Captain. I think between Barbossa & Hook... I like Barbossa best. JIs Hook is a close 2nd. Don't you just LOVE JIs video footage!? Ooooh, how I have heard the stories! The re-enactors during the filming of "The Patriot" liked him better than Mel! Talk about some interesting home videos to show Lily! Legs? Legs?! Oooh, come now, Barbossa. ::ponders:: I hear they are good fried.. like frog legs.. tastes like chicken. :::evil grinz::

ROCK ON, Bess! You are THE coolest pirate! We wuvs yas! :) ::: brings in rum & whatever your belly & heart desires::: I'm sure that they will have a difficult time trying to passify us Barbossa fans, huh? ::Le sigh:: Poor, poor Hector. ::Looks at Captain Barbossa:: My curiousity is aroused with this .. Gent. Welcome, Captain. Aye. I'm hoping as well the idea of another Barbossa. A brother perhaps. John! A right fine fun idea, mate! I think the majority of us wish we could have a fair role in PotC 2 or even 3. But... then again... thank God for Fan films! :)

I didn't think it was a preview. Thought it would be way too early for PotC 2 previews since nothing much has happened on it. TY though. Obviously the person who mentioned this to me got their wires crossed. They thought it was a preview for PotC 2 coming out around the 2004 holiday season. Thanks for the clarification.

So.. Bess... I'm hearing about something during the previews of Shrek 2. A friend thought it was the Holidays 2004. Alas, I didn't really believe that. :::eagerly awaiting:::

AHOY! WOW! Haven't seen it.. however, I have been told by someone that there is a "preview' of something in particular. Is it true!?! Holiday 2004 reference to it here or is that just a preview for a preview? I have yet to see it... I just may attempt to go & see if my friend was telling me the truth. :::looks at Bess; HUGE innocent grin with halo above head; eagerly awaiting open casting call::: LOL, with all the rain causing SOOO much flooding here.. I bet I could make it to the Caribbean faster than the Black Pearl!

Rathr flattering, eh, RumbaRue? I have a couple small wooden chests... one I bought from Hot Topics that is black with some pirate designs on it.. rather wicked.. the other I bought a LONG time ago when I was younger... young teeny bopper as I read "Treasure Island"... Looks like a treasure chest, just smaller.... I've a few jewelry boxes in silver or brass lined with velvet or some fine cloth... & have a good amount of jewelry accumulated... some coins (replicas)... I don't have gems yet.. will be working on that sometime soon .. hopefullly. But yeah.. one can get ahold of some chests out there, any size, that can hold a fair sized little treasure. Anyone else have their treasure made up? Adding on to it?

Happy belated Birthday, Nigel! Hope it was filled with rum, rumcake, women, & MOUNDS of treasure! & may you have more rum, rum cake, women & tons of plunder to fill those treasure chests! HUZZAH!

AVAST! MORGAN! SHIPMATE! Happy Birthday to ya! Aye, now... alas we can't celebrate your Bday in grand style with a huge party.. but ya know... we can make it a Mardi Gras like mix of your bday & your welcome home celebration next year when ya return from "the high seas". we have a deal? Blackbeard's stock? Awww.. I prefer YOUR Private Stock.. has more spice to it!! 3 cheers for Cap'n Morgan! HUZZAH! HUZZAH! HUZZAH! Oooh, & PS Morgan... ::big kiss:: a Bday kiss for luck. Now! :: shows up with a HUGE Tortuga Rum Cake! ::: what is a good round o' rum.. without the cake!? Hmm? :::plops down a chest of treasure as Bday present:::

AYE! Happy Birthday to ya, mate! Many treasure in your hold & chests... may your glass be full of rum... may you be adored by the wenches galore... & sail upon the finest of ships upon the seven seas! HUZZAH!

Oh? Something of pyratical importance, Hawkyns, that we should be eager to view? You have me rather curious now. My nephew wants me to take him to see it... so, perhaps I will tomorrow.

Good signature bar. JI would adore it. As to PotC Interactive.. :: Shrugs:: depends upon the manager of the theater I proposed the idea to. It's a supposed second rate theater... second rate my butt! DANG! It's a NICE theater! Better than the mainstream theater! & besides, he was already thinking about doing another run.. it's just a variety of other films he's dealing with. ::le sigh:: Would be fun to do that with SW... will NEVER see that around there... even tried getting a couple W fan clubs going here in the eastern Iowa area.. people here are in many cases worse than Will Turner! They are sticks! let alone sticks in the mud! I wish ya luck, Grey. :angry:

:) Yup... been mentioned here before. Still working on getting one here in Cedar Rapids. Not all that easy as the majority of it goes through the manager of the theater... & the one here is rather busy... so he tells me. But.. he's more than open to the idea & wants to do it. He was pondering about bringing PotC back for special showings. & the idea of doing this as a fundraiser was a fantastic idea (which is encouraged). So... Yeah, sheck out on the site & see if there is one in the works near where you are. More than likely there is one in the works. Tis a very cool way to have fun with PotC & more.

Many a birthday treasure fill yer chest.... many a drink fill your belly... & many many women shower you with affection! Here's to you, Barbados Jack!

MORGAN! Shipmate! How fantastic! Ahhhh... such fantastic & fun celebratin' we be doin'!!! :) Will have to celebrate more so when you return !!! TONs of rum cake. I promise... I'll bring as much swag, booty, shine.. anything I can get m' hands upon fer the fantastic welcome home celebration ya want next year. Including tons o' RUM! ::Tosses Morgan a fine bottle o' rum; even wine:: They be from my private stock! A bloody grand pirate as yerself... deserves th' best! HUZZAH! HUZZAH! HUZZAH! HAPPY BIRTHDAY an' MUCH celebrating, mate!

Ooooh.. of COURSE I still be celebrating! I've unofficialy dubbed a new chocolate truffle at the Olde Fashion Chocolate Factory here in Cedar Rapids, IA.... why? well... with 2 types of Rum in it (Captain Morgan, Bacardi & dark rum) with dark chocolate.... I renamed it unofficially the Jack Sparrow! I've yet to try it... thought tried a few of the other devilish chocolate truffles. AYE! We celebrate for a long time! Kinda like Mardi Gras. Party & celebrate until I say we stop. ::ponder wickedly::: which will be a LONG time from now... so.. Party on, mates! Ya'll are makin' me blush. Thank ye so kindly. An' especially t' Merry! HUZZAH! She's a bullet & a blast! Hoot & a riot! Merry... I need t' buy ya one of those.. ok, MORE than one... of those Tsunami "Jack Sparrow" truffles. :)

RIGHTEOUS! Ahhh, ye both deserve a barrel o' rum each! An' Redbeard... I be gathering ye are a lookin' fer some "recruits"? I may know a couple to send off in yer direction, m' friend.

I like the subtle hints that PotC parodies Cutthroat Island. But, aye... Cutthroat was enjoyable Swashbuckling fun. Cheesy compared to some pirate movies.. but still adventurous. The characters could have been a bit more defined... but, oh, well. Again, still adventurous. As to Muppet Treasure Island! Funny as hell! Trust me! I thought it was just plain crazy & silly before... but now... after seeing it in a historical, pyratcial, 18th c point of view... I just crack up! Ahhhhh, the memories! & aye, Grey! I hear ya, mate! But... now.. I just have a difficult time seeing Jason as anything but daddy! But those outfits he wore! Damn! ::le sigh:: I know I wanted Tavington's uniform.. but now do I REALLY want his Hook costumes! Down right utterly fancy! VERY foppish! VERY! But so very tasteful! Even Morgan himself would be envious of that attire.... or even Rackham... maybe Sparrow or Silver. :: shrugs:: Treasure Planet is rather good as well! I just LOVE the feline Captain Ameila! Hello! She best it with Sparrow & even Barbossa! Love her humor in the 1st 5 minutes of her appearance in the film. Fantastic! Hey... we are on a roll here with Pirate films! MORE! MORE I SAY! Of course I'm greedy for more, I'm a pirate, damnit!

::Genteel curtsy:: Thank ye kindly, gentlemen. I wish I were 21, gents. T'was my 30th bday. Rather harsh day... but .. hopefully in due time, I be making that up. Just means that we celebrate heartily all year long! An' as to the rum... ahhh, had a fine feast Saturday night at Red Lobster... with a Bahama Mama.. heavy on the rum, mind you! An' Morgan... ::shakes a sword at ya:: Ya come back next year... we'll celebrate in grand pyratical style... gaow-roon-teed! Merry gets all the rum her deathly blackheart desires. From my private stock! :) Now... mind ya'll... I've been devilish enough to keep Barbossa from this... & a few of these bottles here be from Barbossa's private stock! ::taps side of nose:: Hehehe... aye, he'd skin me alive if he knew I was back in his rum & wine again. ::looks at Jack; finger to lips:: Shhhhh.... I'll share with the crew of the Pearl as well as those in Tortugas (your forum). An' not to worry... I'll have it stocked again before he knows it be gone. Thanks all...

Dearest... be all yours. ::hands ya the Godiva:: I still want to see the .... footage, film, whatever it be. That sound better, Scupper? You dive Merry ... perhaps twice or more... chocolate covered cherries... IF I see you on the little screen. THAT be the treasure I be after, mate.

That & a viewing of that wonderful performance... & you have yourself a deal! Again, with Merry's permission. Scarey.. but funny. Rather curious to see it more likely. Godiva chocolate it is. I leave the caramel reserved for Barbossa himself. Or maybe some jewels like diamonds, rubies, etc...

Even in this weaken condition I am in at current.... I say we raid his private stockpile of rum & wine again! We always fill it back up ... Robert... I agree with ya there, mate. Again, I like Jack.. interesting character. But ... ::Shrugs painfully:: Yeah.... good point. There were a few pirates who advanced due to voting off & mutiny. Rackham for one. Plus.... as someone mentioned on a email chat list months ago.... Barbossa is the best villian since Darth Vader!

My apologies, Scupper, shipmate. I didn't see it. No cable, not really time to watch TV anyway... & even if I did have cable would never have been able to record it. I swear it, all... I be cursed! Autographs for a modest fee, eh? Dare I ask WHAT that "Modest fee" be?

Yes, Jack! Yes we are! :) Damn Proud of it, too! Now... what does Barbossa have to say about our little adoration of him still? Come on.. we KNOW he LOVES the attention.

Oh, Jack is a fun character, don't get me wrong. I don't hate, loate or despise Sparrow. I admire Depp for his creativity. Just that with Sparrow... he's too boyish. So much the kid at heart. Granted I am as well. But when it comes to Barbossa, .. I don't entirely see him as a "business man". He's alike a penny... you have a character with 2 sides... see one side, but can't see the other in which makes it mysterious & intreguing. I guess Sparrow is that way as well. But ... Barbossa seems more intreguing to me than Sparrow. Besides... I'm not one to go with a norm.... following the thousands of teeny-bopper girls who are drooling over 40 yr old Depp's Sparrow or young cub Bloom's Turner. Barbossa my 1st choice of all the characters. I do fancy the gents of the Navy: Norrington, Gillette, Groves, etc. Ahhhh.... military men in breeches. ::le sigh:: Especially Groves... he's very dashing. ::le sigh:: but... again back to Barbossa.... give me Barbossa any day. It's not that I have that rescue complex to free the cursed man. LOL, damn, he has his own ways of life! He just wants to be normal... feel again, eat, drink... & be merry... if not have a few Marys! Barbossa just grabbed my attention for being an authority figure... who can hold his own... intelligence with taste... with adventure & cunning. Hell... I don't want to rescue him... he can rescue me! Get me out of podunk central here! Before the corn grows high to block me in!! ::le sigh:: Yeesss.... I adore his attire. Very fine. My compliments to the master on that mix of a man. As to Elizabeth... Hence why I say, I'm not the only one here, when Elizabeth & Barbossa make a rather good match. Shoot... she could be his protege & pass with flying colors! LOL, kinda alike myself; so intregued by pirates at a young age like her, reading about them, singing their songs... then grow up,... again, grow up... attempt to.. but flung back into the adventure of piracy! ::tosses Royaliste a bottle of rum:: mate, ya deserve that. I agree with ya there, whole heartedly. But, all in all... all characters are enjoyable in their own right. JAck a good pirate.. & a good man. But ... for those of us who don't just want to run with the pack of good man, good pirate... we have the pick of Barbossa... wicked man & damn good pirate!

The old sea dogs are far more attractive than the young upstarts & lads who are just getting their sea legs. :) I've seen more girls, teeny-boppers & wanna be mary sues that have NO seafaring romantisim in them not knowledge of the sea at all who adore & worship Sparrow... would love to be his single one & only lover :: gags:: When it's us pirate women who prefer Barbossa most for his cunning, wit, wickedness, appearance, & dear God! Look at that TREASURE! After all he had the Black Pearl... he pretty much was all a pirate captain could be & was!
