Aw man. When I see this movie again, I'm going to think Monty Python quotes whenever the Spanish show up or a mermaid grows sharp pointy teeth.

A DT a chara,
So you're telling me that Disney wrote to you and had you send them a book about Blackbeard? Sure its possible, but you and Frem have stories sometimes that really make me wonder if I should question more of what people tell me online. Just sayin. I still like you both though and for all I know all your guys's stories could be completely true.

I didn't like how POTC 3 ended, poor Elizabeth, she and her husband only got to rut once and then, too bad for you, you're SOL. No fair. But yeah, crappy ending, that movie was really all over the place and made very little sense, its my least favorite. This one was much better.

As for the stereotypes, I rarely notice things like that, maybe that means I'm not a very nice person, but whatever. I guess one assumes that such things will happen in Hollywood. I agree with DT that the only reason the time period of the films being fuzzy doesn't bother me is because its fantasy, one can get away with such things in fantasy, just say its an alternate universe and you're in the clear. :)

Eh, he owns a book store. I didn't find his claim unreasonable.

I actually thought PotC3 ended about as well as it could considering Bloom and Knightley didn't want to do any more movies. Besides, it could be worse - realistically, they shouldn't have even been able to have a kid. There's a lot of stuff that technically a person can't do if they don't have a heart to pump their blood around, aside just from living and breathing. Of course, there's always the option that Elizabeth married and that's someone else's kid.

Riona a chara,

What possible motive could I have for making it up?

Yes, I have a bookstore that specializes in rare out of print books. If I have it, chances are that means no one else does. Who else are they going to buy from? So, yes, a number of film production companies and publishers have bought books from me, also sometimes video game companies and govt. offices. I got a lot of business right after the bailouts, so at least some of that money was well spent ;)

Anyway, yes, i bookmarked the trial passage with a little note, but my recollection was that the actual transcript of the trial was a fair deal funnier than the one in the film. It was also filled with dialect too thick for the average viewer, but that didn't seem to give Gore Verbinski pause in Dead Man's Chest. I guess felt they needed to tone it down.

Once or twice a tall tale has been told on this site, but what is said here is more likely to be true than if you read it in the paper or saw it on Tv.

As for Elizabeth, I'm sure Jack Sparrow is up for it if she feels the urge.

Yes, she didn't have to actually marry someone else, see the above comment.

Heh, yeah. Honestly I wish I hadn't realized that plot hole, now I'm never going to be able to watch the movie without part of me snarking at the end. I end up ruining a lot of good things that way. Such as my realization that the Ewoks are cannibals, and the celebration at the end of Episode 3... Well.

I figure my only recourse now is to share the pain, or entertainment, whichever.

That's cool that you also sell out of print books at your bookstore. I'm not saying its impossible by any means. But between you and Frem you guys have some stories that would seem outlandish, or at least slightly far fetched, to the average viewer. I'm certainly not saying I don't believe you guys, I'm just saying that sometimes, from one or the other of you, there's a piece of me that wonders. Don't take it personally, I'm not calling you a liar and since you do have a bookstore it does make a lot of sense and I now have no doubts that they did indeed order that book from you.

I just always assumed, my memory of no. 3 is somewhat hazy because ... the whole plot of it was somewhat hazy, that they had sex once before he turned into the new Davy Jones. But I have been fooled before. Points to whoever can name the movie that last sentence of mine comes from.

All of which goes to show you how what you see in paper doesn't turn into what you will see on screen.

Nicely done a chara, I didn't even write an accent clue at the end to give a hint, TJ the Manpimp does indeed have a strong accent. What would you like to win?

Well I can't give you the first one what with distance, and I don't exactly know how to give you the other two. So you'll have to settle for virtual points, sorry a chara.
