Even a Pirate that is pure of heart and says his prayers at night, may become a cadaver when the moon is full & bright!
Hey folks, Harry here... Can't wait to catch this trailer. I'm really pulling for this movie to kick ass. I want it to work sooooooooo bad, because 1) I want a badass cool as hell Pirate Movie. 2) If you have to start turning Themepark attractions into films, this one is the best. and 3) Gore Verbinski has been getting better and better with each film he's directed and I think he's ready to knock one out of the theater, and I'm hoping this is it. Oh... and for good measure 4) Johnny Depp rules the world and only makes movies I tend to like, so by a rule, it can't suck. Here ya go...
"But in a synergistic publicity stunt worthy of a Barnum-esque showman, the company will unveil a 2-minute, 20-second trailer for the action-adventure at the same time this Sunday night, 8:15 ET/PT, on all Disney-owned TV properties — ABC, the Disney Channel, ABC Family, ESPN 2, ESPNews, ESPN Classic, SoapNet, Lifetime, Lifetime Movie Network, Lifetime Real Women, A&E, the History Channel and E! Entertainment Television. On ESPN, the sneak peek will run at 11:15 ET/ 8:15 PT"

What else can I say? Something funnier? Probably. But easier, no.

This is what will happen if you abuse your dental whitening strips. Egads!

but that Jacksons face line was pretty funny! Cool that Im at work right now, no?
-
I'm with Harry, I want this to be the coolest thing ever. Don't care about Depp, but I want this movie to rule! Of course, I said that about the Star Wars Prequels. Wanting ain't getting.
-
Is there any way on God's green earth that Harry won't gush about this movie when it comes out? I have sees this kind of preamble too many times on this site to not know what comes next. A good AICN review is a forgone conclusion when this sum-bitch hits theatres. Quote me.

by rollo tomassi
and they were both directed by Tim Burton and had Depp playing characters named Ed. Actually, I think Depp and Burton should devote their entire careers to making only "Ed" movies, since practically everything else they make is dreadful, and even their non-Ed movie together was bad.
I mean, really Harry, you're saying "Chocolat", "The Astronaut's Wife" and all the other dreck Depp has tossed out there is GOOD? -

He's British right. I was guessing by the dental work, not the accent. If this movie is done right it will be fun, packed with great visuals, and something that brings all fanboys back to that reminiscent stage of childhood when P O C seemed so real that you believed they were going to nail your boat with cannon balls, and that it really was 10 at night out on the swamp, and all those people eating at the Blue Bayou were really just locals getting tanked on rum and "Count of Monte Christo" sandwhiches. Man those were tasty! Oh and when is Mori or Harry going to ban that jr. higher fett, there have been other bannings for being a lot less of a pain in the butt. C'mon Harry, this guy invented going off topic just to be a prick.
-
And if you keep reading on, what is funnier is that Fett actually cries himself to sleep at night, probably "on that uuuuge pilla uv his!"

by moriarity report
That's cool that Harry and Fett keep talking about how good the guys in the movie will look, but Mori Report is keepin it real for all his hetero homies out there in talkback land. This Keira Knightley chick isn't even 18 yet and she's starred in two of the greatest movies of all time already! And she's gotten nekid already too! Oh yeah! Anywho, the effects shots of Geoffry Rush transforming into the skeleton looked pretty fly dope, reminded me a bit of the transformation scene at the end of The Last Crusade (well one can hope at least). >>>>Mori Report, Talbacks last great hope for on topic discussion---OUT

"Time" magazine reports that Saddam is distributing copies of the movie "Black Hawk Down" to his troops so as to guide them on killing Americans in Baghdad. My thanks to Hollywood for providing this wonderful self-help tool to the other side. P.S. Depp + Rush + that kickin' theme song will make "Pirates of the Carribean" a winnah, IMHO. Every time you think of the movie, don't you just hear the song in your head? Yo ho, Yo ho, the pirates life fer me.

he's pissed at YOU, you fucking motard. -
Indeed I have a better feeling about this than most Disney crap.
Gimp in you pants or whatever he calls himself can go fuck himself. You know he rides Lucas' cock, he doesn't need to lie. You're just bitter because you thought about the prequels in your wet dreams for far too long and now that were in reality...why do I even start with you people.
When are we going to realize that we're all the same person separated by a few minor points of view. It's almost like we come here to nitpick others who exhibit the same issues that we hate about ourselves. Heh heh, just some food for thought.
Give it up for Jar Jar!

You do remember that everything Bruckheimer touches is over-blown, over-hyped shit, don't you? I don't care how many sexy tomboy beanpoles he can fit into C18th wench outfits... err... ummm...

Oh yes: Bruckheimer and how he's shit and about how it doesn't matter how many sexy tomboy beanpoles in C18th wench outfits... ooow... ummm...

How about they just update the fuckin' ride. Four fucking simulators all showing the same movie? I love that ride, but I'm tired of going to Endor. It's long overdue for an update. Is the Pirate's movie going to be as PC as the ride? You know pirates only chasing women with food and all that. It's okay if they sell the women like pieces of meat though, cause apparently that dosen't offend anyone, or they would have taken it out of the ride. Yeah right. The only way this movie is going to work is if it's "Pirates of the Caribbean" in name only. It's a fun ride, but the story would suck ass. I don't know which is worse, these anti-war moronic rants, or these fanatical patriots who can't see any side of an issue unless someone colors it red, white or blue, or Harry's obsession with man love. Give it a rest dude. I get so tired of hearing these idiotic debates from both sides (pro, anti- / Liberal, Conservative) that I think for the duration of this war (about 4 more weeks?) I'm going to officially declare myself Switzerland, wake me when it's over.
-
...and can you americans stop killing all our soldiers? Its bad enough fighting the Iraqi's without you lot blowing us out of the sky/off the planet.
-
Slight difference, what with being on opposite ends of the planet n all.
And I feel I must defend Fett here. I have heard being attacked as a moron etc for his views.
The fact is we could've saved a lot of lives by this not starting in the first place. It's the equivalent of going into a courtroom and shooting somneone accused of murder. -
Please keep it to movie talkback. If you want to rant about the war go somewhere else and do it. Not that I'm that excited about this film, or unconcerned about the war, but I really think this stuff counts as off-topic bs and shouldn't be posted. Instead I want to hear about the upcoming 'Hall of Presidents - The Movie'. It's gonna be big...
-
Say it aint so!

To be an exquisite master of provocation, and highly entertaining

I thought all the war talk was going to be on the TB about the "What a Girl Wants" director. Drat. Now, for the record, I'd just like to say that there's no such thing as a bad pirate movie. If only this one had dwarves and lesbians, it'd be a guaranteed classic.
-
I'm all for pirate movies, because I like to occasionally give a woman an Angry Pirate. Besides, with Depp, Bloom and Keira Knightly in this one, it'll be nice to look at for everyone...Fett can look at the sweaty guys and the rest of us can ogle Keira...
-
I noticed that not only was there no war talk in the female director talkback, there was bugger all talkback. Further proof that fanboys dislike women.
-
I'll cut us fanboys a little more slack than that. It isn't that we don't like women, it's just that the whole "grrl empowerment" genre isn't for us. If a woman directed a movie featuring dwarven lesbian pirates with lightsabers, we'd be all over it!
-
I think if someone directed a movie about dwarf lesbians with lightsabers, anyone in their right minds would go see it. Such a truly delirious premise would have to be seen to be believed. In any case, the point I was trying to make was that grrrrl empowerment or whatever should not be a genre, it should be mainstream.
-
Heleno, I think the "grrl empowerment" genre has, in fact, hit the mainstream. Here are the first few paragraphs from an article in today's LA Times:
PP> "What a Girl Wants," in the truest sense, may remain one of life's mysteries. But Warner Bros. knows exactly what it wants from its coming-of-age comedy, starring 17-year-old Amanda Bynes, when the film opens today against two thrillers starring Vin Diesel and Colin Farrell: another girl-powered hit. PP>>
In recent months, a series of relatively inexpensive pictures aimed at girls and younger women has produced a consistent string of box-office successes. And that track record is leading some in Hollywood to speculate that young females -- once viewed as extra ticket sales for pictures mainly chosen by male companions -- are on their way to becoming one of the film industry's most reliable audience blocs. PP>> "These movies used to be the odd occurrence. But they've become a genre unto themselves," said Denise Di Novi, who produced "What a Girl Wants" and other female-driven films, including "Heathers" in 1989. PP>>-Me again- Here's a link to the whole story: http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-chickflix4apr04,1,6831861.story?coll=la%2Dhome%2Dtodays%2Dtimes
. And to stay remotely on topic, I'm looking forward to "Pirates." I have a small child, so I'll probably have to wait for the DVD, but it looks like a good time so far. And finally, since I just can't resist that sexy war talk, I find it interesting that Iran Daily is giving the US a much fairer shake on the war than many of our TBers. Perhaps it's time to realign that Axis of Evil. -
You're misunderstanding me. What I am saying is that there shouldn't be a divide, films about women shouldn't be a "genre". They should just be films. I have a dream, and it is not that chick flicks should take over the world but that there should be no such thing as chick flicks because what matters is not the person's gender but the story. A little less with the macho posturing and personal insults would be welcome, OK? I was agreeing jokingly that a film about dwarf lesbians with lightsabers would be a good idea - where the feck did all the vitriol come from?
-
Heleno, I don't intend to attack you personally, and I apologize if I came off that way. I did attack the position you took, which is that films should be taken on their own merits, and not consigned to various genre ghettos. I'm all for genres, for genres help us sift through the many offerings available and help us choose the ones we're likely to find palatable. The fact is, it's unlikely that I'll be enthralled by pictures such as "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" or "What a Girl Wants." They're not made with me in mind, and they don't push my particular buttons. I am, however, quite content to spend a pleasant naptime watching "Ghosts of Mars," a genre picture if ever there was one. It boasts lame dialogue, gratuitous gore, big explosions, and lesbians! You might argue, "Don't judge a film until you've seen it." While I agree that, like socialism, it seems like a good idea on the surface, it really isn't workable. The fact is, I generally see, at best, one movie a week, on Saturday afternoons while my son's taking his nap and my wife's working out at the pool. I *have* to judge without seeing, because I want those precious 90 minutes to count. Here's where genres come in. I know that I generally like noir pictures, samurai pictures, and science fiction, for example. While that doesn't mean I won't see films outside these genres, I do know that I'm likely to be more entertained watching one from them, as opposed to an offering from the "plucky young girl shows those stuffy grownups a thing or two" school. Genres are good, my friend. Peace.
-
Genres are in the eye of the beholder. Do you think Bend it Like Beckham is a chick flick? It doesn't strike me as one. I haven't seen it yet, but the advertising and reviews lead me to believe it's a cross-cultural coming of age comedy. Hey, I *like* cross-cultural coming of age comedies! This one's on my list! The protagonist's gender is beside the point.
-
I really do have nothing against you. (Most...ok, many) guys aren't trying to suppress the "grrrl empowerment" movement. The reason it's become a sub-genre that usually causes eyes to roll is because Hollywood usually handles female independence and/or empowerment in predictible and sometimes hypocritical ways.

Anyway, this movie does look pretty sweet. Johnny Depp's playing cool in it...I doubt it'll suck.
