Just a note to Billy Bones and Iron Bess:
I think you are mis-understanding here, commenting about what one likes and dislikes about a movie is quite normal.
I was into to pirates long before POTC came out and the Pub was started well before that movie came out.
I remember in my early days of PRP, there weren't any decent pirate anything around. I'm glad that movies like POTC have come out, it's made people become interested in a subject that use to be at the bottom of a barrel.
So please don't lump everybody together. A few of us hearty souls were here long before POTC hit the screens.
