Iron Bess Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 For those of you that take in interest in such as this.... (Sigh) They have dismantled the Black Pearl over on her home soundstage and are in the process of removing the hydraulic system that tossed her about for the at sea shots and the Kraken attack. (Is that wailing I hear???) This particular set has been standing so long we are all feeling a little down today. This stage however (and the others) are being turned over to National Treasure 2 when it begins filming early next year. And, woe be it to me to tell you all but…. Captain Jack Sparrow wraps his film work this Weds and will be getting back to his life as he once knew it. Of course... that's not saying that we'll never see his like again. Again. :) Hang in there mates.... May is coming. Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
The Doctor Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Thanks for update, Iron Bess. A melancholy day... Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that?
Rumba Rue Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Wish I could have come to the studio earlier, but walking around is just something I can't do anymore.
Caraccioli Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 This stage however (and the others) are being turned over to National Treasure 2 when it begins filming early next year. Why? The first one was more than enough. If they want to rip off Indiana Jones (who ripped off the old serials) they ought to make another Dirk Pitt movie instead. I liked Sahara much better than National Treasure. "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?"
Iron Bess Posted October 23, 2006 Author Posted October 23, 2006 (shrug) I just handle 'em, I don't hire 'em mate. Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!

I liked Sahara much better than National Treasure. Couldn't agree more! And Bess, a black day for the Black Pearl, indeed. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

May yer Life be a long and joyous adventure in gettin there!As he was about to face the gallows there, the pirate is said to have tossed a sheaf of papers into the crowd, taunting his audience with these final words: "My treasure to he who can understand."
Red-Handed Jill Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 Was there a moment of silence? There should be...
Patrick Hand Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 Kinda stupid question.... and not that I could buy it anyway.... They have dismantled the Black Pearl over on her home soundstage But what are they doing with the parts that are cut off..... just "junking" them..... or maybe selling them to someone that would love to own a part of the "Blacl Pearl".......
Iron Bess Posted October 24, 2006 Author Posted October 24, 2006 Kinda stupid question.... and not that I could buy it anyway....But what are they doing with the parts that are cut off..... just "junking" them..... or maybe selling them to someone that would love to own a part of the "Blacl Pearl"....... Remember this set has been up for over three years and was getting a little frayed around the edges. The majority of it was the interiors such as where Jack met up with Boot strap, Captains cabin and the brigs and so fourth. All the tackle, rigging, ships wheel were returned to props (you never know when you might need such as that again, right?… ) the rest of the wood was torn out and junked. They may sell select pieces on eBay and if I hear of such a sacrilege I will let you all know. Others were of course savaging what they could from the dumpsters. (shrug) After all, this place is FULL of Pirates! Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!

Iron Bess Posted October 24, 2006 Author Posted October 24, 2006 Ooooooh, you mean this place?? Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
Red Maria Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 Is that Pheobe?! My Gods it's hard to bekeive that Pheobe was ever that small!
Rumba Rue Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 Yup that place. I swear I've never known anyone to have an office like yours. It's a true Dizzy masterpiece.
Iron Bess Posted October 24, 2006 Author Posted October 24, 2006 Is that Pheobe?! My Gods it's hard to bekeive that Pheobe was ever that small! No, no.... that's a toy Red Maria. Someone gave it to me years ago becasue they thought it looked like my Clancy. I never thought so but.... it looked good wearing Captain Hooks hat! Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!

Someone gave it to me years ago becasue they thought it looked like my Clancy. I never thought so but.... it looked good wearing Captain Hooks hat! That's a pretty convincing toy.
Iron Bess Posted October 24, 2006 Author Posted October 24, 2006 "Herself, is that a home office, or work office? Once kids get in there, how do ye get 'em out?" Nope, that is my office on the Disney lot. (I'm sort of on the tour now...) And this was taken awhile back. You mates ought to see it now! Well, you have to take your fun where you can find it these days. The office may not show it but our jobs are really, REALLY stressful. This bit of fun does help. Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
Iron Bess Posted October 24, 2006 Author Posted October 24, 2006 That's a pretty convincing toy. Yeah, I've had people jump back thinking it was coming at them (???) And yes, they were from the Team Disney building. Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
Ace of Harbor Bay Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 Aye quite an office it is! And it IS quite a bit different (full) now! I just thought it was cool that it is in the old animation building. For an animator...THAT was quite an experience. www.pirate4hire.com Pirates of Harbor Bay
Crowsnest Kate Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 I wanna work where you work and have an office like that!
Iron Bess Posted October 25, 2006 Author Posted October 25, 2006 I wanna work where you work and have an office like that! Well... be careful what you wish for. I'm 37 years with the company and most days I'm convinced my parents raised an idiot, Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
Jacky Tar Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Well... be careful what you wish for.I'm 37 years with the company and most days I'm convinced my parents raised an idiot, "Com'on Iron Bess, ye know t' some of us ye work fer one of the best companies in the world! Even on a bad day yer one of the happiest idiots I've met!" Jacky thinks he should reword that, as Herself goes for one of her many swords.

Red-Handed Jill Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 It is a great office, though. I'm very envious.
