Aye!

The stories are rather out there. Easier to dispell them. But I have to admit.. the title floatin' around "PotC: Treasures of the Lost Abyss".. that sounds rather intreguing. This title is rather spot on I think.

I do look forward to some of the same witty humor. I enjoyed some of that even in Treasure Planet. The feline.. Amelia... ahhh, she had some of that humor that was so fantastic! Even a similiar line "Do I make my self clear?" asked by Arrow in TP & Norrington in PotC, each movie with different but fantastic answers like "Transparently" from that 'spider psycho' in TP & then Jack's reply to Norrington "Inescapibly". I love those.

I would think also that in sequels not only do some change writers, but actors also. So.. with PotC keeping pretty much everyone the same... especially the actors.. that will be more than a plus. & yes, I continuously watch POtC to help dull the pain & torture of having been forced to watch Matrix Reloaded & Revolutions over & over & over again. Having had it here in Ceder Rapids at the IMAX. It was pure torture! I would rather have that damned Aztec curse than watch Matrix again!

Huzzah!

The local theater is lookin' for people to play ol' pirate jigs & sea shanties.

Unfortunately, no fiddle have I.. but I do have a wooden recorder.

Anyone have a few good ol' sea shanties that can be used? The director is lookin' for more peeps to be in a play of Treasure Island. Hehehe... I suppose the trademark song for TI 'bottle o' rum' would be good as well as "pirates life for me".. anyone have it in a format for a recorder? Again.. as well as any quick ones to learn for a recorder.

I would take one.. unfortunately.. 1. unable to at the moment due to money... 2. I would need one that is battle appropriate.

I still have yet to ask the NWTA weapons officer if this sword is appropriate for me to use. Being as I am a dragoon in Lee's Legion portrayed during 1780-1781.

I'm not able to use the saber I have since it's the heavy Civ war cavalry sword... the 3 banded brass & black leather handle saber that is on the PotC skull & crossed swords logo... even has the tarnish.. bought mine over 2 years ago. .. Anyway.. they won't let me use it since it's not authentic to Rev War.

Was kinda funny when a friend of mine saw it, she nearly keeled over.. took it to a convention in St. Louis, showed a few people & it was nearly stolen about 5 times. Popular sword... eventhough it was used by another character instead of Jack or Hector (Barbossa).

So.. lookin' for an appropriate sword for my portrayal.

Huzzah!

LMAO! Amen, Scupper!

Actually... I've heard from several people they would LOVE to have a Pirates of the Caribbean convention. Seriously. I asked about online.. found a fair amount of people willing to go if one was put on.

As to How many times have I seen it? Well... truth be told.. 19 times in the theater.. nearly every bloody night since I bought the DVD. No joke, folks. I've seen it more times that I saw "The Patriot" & "Titanic" combined!

Will NEVER get sick of this movie!

Aye.. I listen to the soundtrack quite often as well. Track #7 being my fav. My friend calls it 'pissy German music'. Well.. I am mostly German decent.

I like to think the music goes well when I am on my way to Rev War re-enactments as well. I LOVE the sound of the cannons & all. Feel right at home with it all. Hey.. what can I say... I'm a dragoon!

Huzzah!

:: tosses Iron Bess a case of Vanilla Coke:: Don't drink coke.. but.. if they like it.. I'm willin' to please. I, however... will take a nice, sweet wine. :: evil grinz::

Amen, Maria.. Serendipity... Dreamie...

It's so much better now & easier to defunk the rumors. Thanks to Iron Bess here who is strong & true. Huzzah! For Iron Bess!

I am slightly curious as to what the next story will be like. Though a couple people I know supposedly got ahold of a copy of the script (supposedly) & thought that it was not all the best.. kinda different than what turned out in the movie. Not sure about this since I saw one supposed script.. LOL.. funny thing about it.. it looked like a bad script version of the Junior Novel. :: shakes head:: amazing what has been popping up.

I'm currently content with patiently awaiting the casting call... :: Crossing fingers:: Lord would I LOVE to be in that movie.. :) Hello! It's a pirate movie.. what pirate wouldn't want to be in it! :)

Plus content with some of the comic book stuff they are putting out like the latest issue of Disney Adventures Comic Zone. Nephew loves to read the PotC stories.

As well as content with a stand up of Barbossa I was lucky enough to grab before it was thrown out.

Umm.. besides... putting PotC out in May 2005.. NOT GOOD! Not when Star Wars Episode 3 will be released at that time. Definitely .. not good! Despite I would love it being as my Bday is in that month... but putting it out around the same time as another blockbuster hit? That's just brain dead non-thinkin' there.

Maybe putting it out in July should be the norm.

LOL... since they used the Lady Washington.. think they will use another ship? Like the Royaliste? Or Hawaiian Chieftan? :: Shrugs:: just a thought.

Huzzah!

Here! Here! Dreamie...

Tis amazin' the rumors that fly around the web about PotC 2. Just hear another one ... similiar to one I have already heard before... about the daughter of Barbossa showing up. :: Runs back to find it.::: Ahhh... here we be:

"I'm sure you've all heard the talk about the POTC sequel and besides

some things i have found others.

The sequel is due out in May of 2005.

(YYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

!!!) Also JACK THE MONKEY will be a big part in it. The Abyss is

the very first pirate ship that ever set sail. so I be thinking that

its good. Also, just to clear up some speculation. I don't think that

Barbossa's daughter is in this one. I have news that she is actually

going to be in the 3rd and will only make a short appereance in the

2nd."

Again.. an old rumor.

Not one I truly believe. But... as I have mentioned... if it doesn't come from Iron Bess.. I won't give it a thought. Amazing though how these rumors circulate & with slight changes when I hear them.

Though... again, I like the idea of the title. Very cool.

Huzzah!

Just want to express my excitement over the Iowa Hawkeyes win on New Years day over Florida! :: cheers::

How does this tie in with pirates you say? Simple... the Outback Bowl was held in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers very own stadium!

The win was just overly amazing! 38 - 17 I do believe! THIS is the first win for the Hawks in around 27 years for a Bowl game! No joke! I give credit to the luck of the year of the pirate for this! :) I'm SOOO excited & may the year of the pirate reign on into 2004!

Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!

I noticed a lot of pyratical events happenin' along the coasts & elsewhere. But is there anythin' happening that is a little closer to home here in the midwest... along the mighty Mississippi? Any Ren fests? Even any pirates ponderin' a get together?

If not... I be stuck here... landlocked in Eastern Iowa... more than willing to do somethin'.. even if only just to meet up for a pint or glass o' wine. I'm ichin' for some plunderin'! :: evil grinz::

What say ye out there?!

Huzzah!

Aye... mates, would be thre.. but that bea time I am unable to show my face.

Be there longer hours? More days?

Huzzah!

My thoughts exactly.

That could be one way for Rush to return. Though.. will be very interesting to see what the writer's come up with... depending on Rush's return or not.

Huzzah!

: shrugs:: Rush trying to portray a younger version of himself? Interesting. Though... I REALLY would love to see Hector return. If not Hector than a brother or whatever. But Hector returning.. that will be funny in a manner of speaking... to see Jack's face.. let alone Will's & Elizabeth's. One never knows.. that chest lid was closed when they left the cave.. then it was open for that clip at the end of the credits.. well... when it panned in to show Barbossa lifeless on the mound it was shut.. then we see the monkey.. monkey up to the chest.. :: Gasp:: what be this?! Lid OPEN! Wonder how? Hmmm.

There was another rumor about the sequel. Supposedly told by Orlando Bloom.. sometime back in August... about Liz getting kidnapped again by pirates.. Will & Jack go to free her, find out it's a trap set by the daughter of Barbossa (supposedly played by Selma Hayek).. & are to battle some rather odd looking creatures.. with some ship battles scenes later as well... Pearl is destroyed.. etc... the supposedly story about the battling the creatures sounded too... Spy Kids-ish... if anyone has seen (be if willingly or unwillingly) the 2nd Spy Kids movie.

Thus far.. I haven't heard any other rumors. Which... I am not complaining about. Would rather get proper info from Bess.. than to get some odd-ball rumor from some odd-ball online.

I guess.. eventually.. we will find out later. Won't we, ladies & gents? :)

Huzzah!

Hey, Jack!

Still have a thing for the ol' Interceptor, eh?

I'm sure a couple folks we know off that direction will enjoy that bit of info.

Alas... if only I were nearer, though. I doubt that grand ship would make it up the mighty Mississippi. Don't really want her to try it. God knows what is under the muddy waters of that vast river. Mostly trees/logs, etc.

Thank ye much fer the info therem shipmate!

Huzzah!

I heard about that rumor back in September, Lady Elaina. ::shrugs:: will be interesting if that is true.

As to Bootstrap returning.. doesn't sound like it. If anyone has listened to the Writer's commentary... they most likely state he is dead.

But the last clip following the credits... the writer's were rather quite for that one. Not a word other than "poor Geoffrey".. hehehehehe. Poor man, indeed.. the monkey not behaving getting water squirted in his face... & god knows what else.. hehehehe.. damn, the man just needs an Oscar for endurance!

Again.. I like the title of "Treasures of the Lost Abyss". If that's really what they will use... kinda makes me wonder what they have in mind. & Mostly what I come up with, is rather good. So.. I'm excited about this one. :)

Can't wait for the open casting call.

Keep us informed as to what you can tell us, Bess. Always open to the correct info. Need good info instead of rumors.

Oooh, again... with Rush returning... I can actually see some good ways he can return... not just as Hector Barbossa.. though, woud love to have Hector back... doesn't mean Hector has to return.. perhaps a different Barbossa? Or.. as I remember, the Writer's have other ideas in mind. Can't wait.

Huzzah!

Drink up well for me, mates. Alas.. it appears all my shipmates 'round here are going to be sticks in the mud & just pass the nightway as though it were just an oridinary night... like they always do each year. Need a wilder band of landlubbers.

So.. drink up mor ethan double ration for me, ladies & gents. I be stuck with my sister's half-pints. :: groans::

Huzzah!

Did anyone else get some pictures of the DVD release party? Plenty of fantastic pix of the festival... which now I am kicking myself into making plans to go.

But.. again.. anyone have pix of the DVD release party? Anyone..?

Huzzah!

I agree with Jack, Iron Bess & who ever else... Geoffrey Rush deserves a nomination of sorts... if not what the writer's stated.. that Rush deserves just an Oscar for the eyes. Dear GOD! I agree there! ::Le sigh::

It's good to hear that Johnny Depp was nominated for his role. Deserves it.

Just hope that Geoffrey Rush is nominated for his performance. Wishful hopes, few & far between. But hell... be it for PotC or Finding Nemo... he just made both movies really fun to enjoy.

Huzzah to the Year of the Pirate!

Huzzah!

Wish I could, shipmate... but, alas... this lass is landlocked in the midwest & no means to get out west.

Let alone a fine pic of meself... other than what is on the Pub's photo album.

I just hope.. they keep the casting calls a comin'. & Praying I get a chance with PotC 2. Would have been fun to do this one... unfortunately, never seen an episode of Spongebob Squarepants.

I wish luck, Redd!

Huzzah!

Sounds like I will have to be makin' plans for next year's PiP.

I've heard a tad about GARF. & may be goin' there.. sometime. Meetin' up with a couple gents.. who have talked me into it. Can't wait.

So.. off I be... lookin' for the pix of the PiP '03. :)

Huzzah!

Hmm... Wonder if I can get away with using that type of sword now in the Rev War unit I am with. :: evil grinz::

As to Jack.. Not sure. ::pats the previous Jack on back::: But this one be a rather fun gent to be sure. :) It's Barbossa you have to watch out for. Because you can never predict when he will come in here ... & start burin' the place. But... to keep him at bay... keep the drinks a comin' & the ladies in waiting.. & he may be satisfied.. for the moment.

Many a Jack Sparrow... a couple Barbossa's.. I think. But.. heck.. there can only be ONE... Anastazia Blackheart! Cheers!

Huzzah!

Very interesting! Sounds like it was more than fun. Now I am wishing I could have been there.

Ahh... anyone have more details on the DVD release party? As well as Pictures?

Huzzah!

::nearly jumps out of own skin:: Mother's love! JACK! Tis bad luck to be scarin' a lass like that.

Check out the other thread about the pistol. I still have yet to hear from Dixie Gunworks about the pistol. But Billy Bones is rather gracious enough to be searchin' the prop houses in Feb for the model or the sort that is Barbossa's pistol.

Track of the Wolf, Inc only told me what model they thought that the pistol may be of. But.. as to the elaborate decor on the pistol... still left me in the dark. They only had parts & you would have to assemble it. Not good in my book.

There is a good number of assistance here ... check out the other thread as well about the Barbossa sword... there are other places to get one. As to prices... :: Shrugs:: your guess is as good as mine.

As to the Barbossa ring... I have a few pix of it. I sent them to a person out east who may be able to assist in having them made. Keeping my fingers crossed. :)

Tis good to see ya here, Jack! All we need is Barbossa & we have ourselves more than a party! Though... we would have to refrain him from burning the pub... this is one place that we need to keep standin'

Huzzah!

Why, Thank ye, Billy Bones. Ye are a true gent to be a helpin' out.

The Propmaster for PotC was Chuck Stuart(?).

A little extra here... the 2 gents portraying Murtogg & Mulroy... Those 2 would be SOOOO much fun at a re-enactment! :)

Plus.. Lee's little statement in Diary of a Pirate... love it with Johnny Depp there... comedy night being more fun with Sparrow than Barbossa. LOL.. he hasn't heard the Barbossa I know.

Again, thank ya Billy .... I truly appreciate it.

Huzzah!

The pistol, I believe, is a firing, working pistol.

The one for Jack Sparrow is a real pistol of the era. It was stated in An Epic as Sea documentary on the Special Features disc #2.

As to what kind of the era... I don't know. However... I am looking at who was the maker of this pistol. As this pistol is more a working prop for the movie.. & not an authentic antique of the era. Like I said, it's the same exact type of pistol used in "Cutthroat Island".

In the PotC documentary... they mentioned that all but Jack's pistol were replicas made by someone out of LA.

It's trying to find someone willing to make a replica of that Barbossa pistol. I want one.. as well as perhaps a dozen other people.. maybe more.. I know. They can make a firing-full functional &/or a replica non-firing pistol (which is cheaper for some & safer in some cases).

Huzzah!

Hmm... interesting.

I like the title... I'm sure the story will be fun & fantastic like the first movie.

But... Bess... are they still planning to get Geoffrey back? PM me if you wish. I'm rather good at secrets. I hate releasing info... bad for others to screw it up... usually that's what happens.

Honestly... I do hope they bring Geoffrey Rush back... doesn't mean it has to be Hector Barbossa... maybe a brother ... running along the same lines of the Barbarossa brothers.

Oooor... Maybe something else... plenty of good stories to go around with the New World. Shoot.. the chest the Aztec gold is in... that's a mystery unto itself! Which I have shocked a few people now.. the designs on the chest are actually Inca, not Aztec.. :) the designs on the chest are from an Inca ruin in So. America which is Viracocha surrounded by the birds, I think is a condor. Which.. could lead into another story there as well.

Even this movie could shed more light into how Jack came into possesion of the compass & the location of the Isla de la Muerta.

Can't wait for it!

& don't forget the open casting call!!

Huzzah!

I do have a better pic or 2.. but like I said, no way of posting them.

However.. I did speak with Track of the Wolf, inc... they mentioned that it was some early 18th c or 1715(?) type model... I'm trying to remember what all they told me. However... it's the engraving & the metal work that will be the harder part.

Now.. in the special features, it was mentioned that someone out of LA did the weapons.. besides Jack's pistol which is a real pistol (lucky gent). I don't know if there was another person that had a real pistol. I know Jack's sword was real.. well, one of them was... & I think that Barbossa had a real one as well, besides a couple replica/copies as well.

The hammer/cock/ etc.. it looks to be a virginia type (forgive me if it's rather vague)... the barrel is smoothbore, obviously... but the most visable of all, is the silver metal work that is rather elaborate.. as well as the butt of the pistol has a skull, double-sided.... It's almost easier to just watch the movie to see it.. or even the special features of PotC, since there are a couple or few places you can get a close up of the pistol.

Huzzah!
