LadyBarbossa

::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!

Oooh, that deleted of Jack & Elizabeth is rather... attention grabbing. Makes one wonder a bit about Jack. The Diary of a Ship was the VERY first thing I watched when I got my DVD last week, monday ... at midnight, etc. Got the doubloon from Wal mart & all... anyway... LOVE Diary of a Pirate with Lee Arenberg... that was fantastic! The little bit there with Lee & Johnny.. I just crack up! This is obviously one of my favorites on the special features. Blooper Reel is hilarious. Oooh... & love the deleted of the parlay "French"... great.. wonderul! I again crack up when watching this one. The movie.. Well.. I have been watching it everyday since I bought it. Watched it 19 times in the theater. I agree.. there is something about this movie. It's beyond fantastic. It's highly entertaining. So many scenes I love in that movie. I love the majority of the scenes that involve Barbossa. But LOVE that island scene, after Jack wakes up... too funny! As well as the swordfight scene between Jack & Barbossa.... especially when Barbossa goes after Jack "arrhhh!" & Jack runs away like some wuss flaling his arms about with wide eyes.. too funny! The sequel will be a welcome one, to be sure. More of Jack... that's for sure. Wish Barbossa would return. Huzzah!

Aye. I searched a variety of replica places.. but not one is relatively Barbossa's pistol. I truly wish I could at least post the image here to show ya. It's a VERY nice pistol. Huzzah!

Well.. I did try to link it.. using my free site.. but alas.. did not work. I have worse luck than Jack Sparrow. Huzzah!

Unfortunately... the sites I found them on.. no longer exist or have been changed to something else. Sad to say. So... no.. no sites to link to. Which.. is not entirely fair. ::le sigh:: I may... try to put it on a geocities page :: groans:: IF the silly thing cooperates with me. Huzzah!

I would if I could. All I have are the pix I found, but no way or means to post them here. Huzzah!

:) Good to see that there are places selling this type of sword. It's now finding out which ones are a better deal, good price & battle worthy IF you intend to use it in a swordfight. Thank you so much for this information. I know 1 person who has a fantastic Barbossa costume that was recently made. As well as 2 other people wanting to do a Barbossa costume as well. The boots are available... now the sword... the final is the pistol & the ring. Huzzah!

I noticed that the pistol that Barbossa used in Pirates of the Caribbean appears to be the same type of pistol that was used by Dawg in Cutthroat Island. I've been searching all over the web for the maker of this particular pistol. But to no avail. I have found a couple pictures online of the pistol... & have a couple more of Barbossa with the pistol. Anyway point me in the right direction to get ahold of a replica, working or non firing, of this special pistol? Otherwise.. does anyone know of a good pistol maker who would be more than willing to make a few of them? I know that there would be a few others wanting this pistol besides myself. Thank ye much, mates! Huzzah!

Aye.. true.. true.. too much supernatural can be overbearing. I am curious as to what the writers will do with the sequel. Not sure if they will continue with the cursed Aztec gold or not. Because of the monkey bit following the credits. The chest still intregues me.. as I have in a way... been 'studying' it.... silly I know.. but a good portion of it is familiar... especially Viracocha on the sides & all. & I do believe that it was the Plumed Serpent that decorated the lid as well. The skulls were arranged rather strangely.. almost like a hieroglyph of old civilization. As well as the design around Viracocha.. looked like a hieroglyphic bird. It seemed to be more a mix of Aztec, Mayan & Inca. But with Viracocha.. that's more Inca. As Jack said so well- "That's interesting." :: shrugs:: I guess.. depends on what other ghost stories or more are out there. Anyone know of any other erie, ghostly haunting sea stories? Maybe they will use a war like background in the sequel... Spaniards .. or the French... :: shrugs:: Huzzah!

Right nice there, Broadside. Dashing gent ye are. Undead or not. I do plan to do the same. Just findin' the time to do it is the issue. All I can say.. is I am truly enjoying the DVD. As to the Media Play... I heard about it... from a person in Georgia. Amazingly enough.. he & a friend of his passed off rather well as Jack Sparrow & Barbossa. Dead on costumes! His friend as Barbossa is just rather... uncanny! :) Wishing now that we had something like that up here in the middle of nowhere (Iowa).. or at least some store that would have had a little... promo of that sort. It's grand to have this great adventure within our grasp now. To have within our treasury. Huzzah!

Blackbart... is there a certain look you are searching for from the illustrator? As to how realistic do you want it? I presume you wish a little ... example? Huzzah!

Well... I had picked my copy up at Wal Mart just at midnight... cheaper than I thought... around $16. Very cool. DVD is VERY well worth it! I LOVED watching the Diary of a Ship! I awaited watching that. Very grand there. As well as with Mr. Arenberg. He made it seem SO fun.. hard work obviously, but very, very, very fun! The special features are just grand! Love 'em! As to the gold that was sold at Wal Mart.. which a good majority did not sell since they were not open in some areas around the country. A few other places.. well... lost the gold. I got lucky... I guess if that is what you call it... to get the gold. It's a gold doubloon.. & by the looks of it, possibly one of those from the set. :: shrugs:: I could be mistaken. Alas... not the cursed Aztec gold coin. Which a good amount of people was hoping for. Though, I am resigned to have the gold doubloon. But.. hopefully, someday... will get the Aztec cursed gold coin. :) Huzzah!

OMG!!! That is SOOOO cool! Pardon the silliness... I'm sure it will be a blast.. literially! I envy those of you who will be down there. I must ask.. no.. BEG for pictures! PLEASE! Plus.. Iron Bess.. did me eyes read that correctly? The Black Pearl will be arriving & bringing the DVD to port?! Plus.. I hear that Wal Mart has a promo going on as well.. hopefully, nationwide... as to between midnight to 6am... they will be giving swag out & /or the Aztec Gold coins! This is absolutely great for all this... despite I am sure Disney is being bombarded for more PotC merchandise.... I should know.. I hear about it from other fans... demanding more & more.. wanting the stuff. McFarlane should make the figures, they do such a fine job... I love their Sleepy Hollow figurines... Again... WE WANT PICTURES! :) PLEASE! Huzzah!

A rather fun quiz... hehehehe.. only challenge I saw in it was about the ride. Missed that one, actually. Oh, well. The other one I missed (only missed 2 actually).. was about the head on the ring of Barbossa. Now... it's to my understanding & all... even from a certificate of authenticity & close up views of pix of the ring.. that it's a lion's head, not a bear. A bear would make little sense to me. But a Lion would. My friend thinks it's a tiger.. which by all means I would LOVE it to be a tiger, since it's my fav animal of all & being born in the Year of the Tiger according to Chinese Horoscope. But.. best it be a lion. In my opinion, I think that is one question that is actually wrong. So... between the ride question & the Barbossa's ring question.. the rest were a breeze. Heck, they better be after seeing PotC in the theater 19 times ! But.. again.. the animal head on the ring I am most certain is wrong. So, if those of you chose lion's head.. consider yourselves correct. Huzzah!

Indeed... it will be amazing what the writers & all come up with. However... obviously it's about Jack & the Black Pearl... again.. as it was mentioned that the writers had a couple more adventures in mind & would like to tell of Jack. Now.. what it involves this time.. who knows. The Curse of the Black Pearl was with cursed Aztec Gold. Perhaps it's another New World legend of sorts... or something more contemporary to the time of the story... again.. maybe Jack Loses the Pearl once more & needs Will & Elizabeth's help. I hate saying it.. I can actually see her getting more & more into the piracy thing... how 'knowledgable' she is.. plus, she is the Governor's daughter, btw... Her influence being a great help. Maybe involvement with French.. or Spaniards... But.. I admit.. my heart still is set upon & praying that eventually Barbossa returns. The little clip at the end of the credits... has me rather bewildered.... we see Barbossa lifeless on the gold on the mound the chest is on... the monkey swims up, climbs up the mound to the chest.. the lid partially open & takes the gold, becoming cursed... now.. I get the part that any mortal shall be cursed... but.. how in the world did the lid get opened up once more?! We saw it was shut the last shot when Jack told Will "If you were waiting for the opportune moment.. that was it.." & he walked off as he said "Now, if you'll be so kind as to take me to my ship.." It was there we saw the chest lid was closed. How in the bloody blue blazes did that lid open back up?!?! that monkey is not THAT strong!!! Huzzah!

Awww.. blast... Well.. always another time & chance to meet up, correct? A friend & I are having our own little PotC party on Dec 2nd. But.. yes... would love to meet up & such... see where the winds take us.. though, the way it's getting here in Iowa... best not to let lose the sails! Geez! Ya tell me when & where.. I will let ya know if I will be there or not. Huzzah!

I've been a lookin'.. not findin' a group... but people... sort of... Just a wonderin' if there is a pyracy groups/crew around the eastern Iowa locale. If not... I'm more than willin' to spearhead & captain a crew for the eastern Iowa around even into Illinois ( as I have a person or 2 interested in joinin' me fine crew).. perhaps northern Missouri & a corner of Wisconsin & Minnesota as well.. ( know there is a crew or 2 up in Minnesota.) I have a couple gents here in Cedar Rapids who may be willin' to join up.. plus a lass here as well & even in Illinois. Maybe another body or 2 here in Iowa. If we do get to gether... first even would the Ren Fest there in Amanas. Still an idea.. a thought... but I be a serious one. Drop me a line & sign articles with me.. if ya dare! Huzzah!

There are many people a wonderin' about that .. about bootstrap Bill. Being as he is cursed... perhaps forced to take the gold or took it of his own free will. But if he is cursed... found a way to free himself of the cannon & make it to shore somewhere... staying out of sight from Barbossa & his band of cutthroats.. maybe he's off in Madagascar, or elsewhere. Maybe somewhere in the New World. As to Rush... Hehehehe.. Yeah... that sounds like it. That's actually better than the one I heard with Selma Hayek... that one was supposedly told by Orlando Bloom himself. Silly, is it not? I'm patient. I'm sure the writers will come up with something good for the 2nd & even the 3rd movie. I'm sure there are a lot of stories that can be used, legends about the new world... & more. Plenty of pirates to use, etc. & with as wooly as Jack is.. I'm sure he's made a good amount of enemies as he has friends. Let alone... how many people would LOVE to get their hands upon the infamous Black Pearl. Huzzah!

LOL Rumors are a flyin', as it were.. all around the net. I've heard a many pathetic story here & there. LOL, a good majority of them still having something to do with Barbossa. Even one that was sadly pathetic with Barbossa's daughter played by .. :: thinking:: dear God what is her name.... Oh, Salma Hayek ... who takes revenge upon Jack & Will for killing her father on some silly Spy Kids like island against some oddball 2 headed monster, etc. Had a lot of people cringe at that idea. But a good portion of the people would love to see Barbossa return.. somehow. I think I can find ways to make him return, that's for sure. :: Evil grinz:: Especially when dealing with the Gods of the Aztecs. Funny though... is that Veracocha was on the chest. I didn't think he was Aztec. Kinda led to some interesting fan fictions & role playing stories thus far. Involving ancient legends, more involvement with Pizarro as well, even Marinche - Cortez's lady - & more on the New World that opens ups SO much more. But.. I'm presuming they may bring in something new. fresh ideas & new blood would work rather well. Ooooh, unless they use the idea of women pirates... Anne Bonney, Mary Read with Jack Rackham ... something along that idea. Some are hoping more detail on how Jack came into possesion of the Black Pearl. Maybe Jack will lose the Black Pearl again. ::: Shrugs:: ::gasping for breathe:: can't wait to see what happens. Though... I'm patient... usually... & would rather wait to see what happens when it comes out.. LOL.. unless I get darn lucky to be in it. Huzzah!

AYE! Carrie.... what inspiration! Looks wonderful & I dare say you will have pix of this fine vessel from it's maiden voyage at the parade? Again, such inspiration to those of us with boats that have no more use. Now we can find a use for it! Huzzah!

Eager for the sequel as well. :) Red Maria... tis amazing & fun is it not? Actually ... I cold see a tad or part Portugues or Spanish in him... with some Dutch &/or English. Either way... Barbossa was just overly delightful! Captain Wolfy... keep us informed. I know plans change often with a movie. The idea to be in the movie would be pure heaven. It's not the desire to act with such big names... but the amazing fun to be in such a fine pirate movie! THAT's the fun part! As for Barbossa.... one can only wish & dream. A few people are thinking he didn't really die. But... as much as I wish it were not true, he did. Unless the script writers come up with something rather good to bring him back & torment Jack. :: evil grinz:: Maybe in the 3rd movie? Hmm? HUZZAH!
