Davy Jones' Ship Isn't Monkee-ing Around!!! Great Pirates of the Caribbean Production Design Shown Off!
Hey folks, Harry here... John Robie IM'd this link to Dark Horizon's shots of Davy Jones' Ship from PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MAN'S CHEST - and man oh man... it looks awesome. I hope to god they built that ship to last and don't plan on destroying it. Cuz that sucker looks stunning... and deserves to be preserved beyond just the fabric of cinema. The artistry of that ship is just awesome. It looks like some hellspawned Spanish Galleon that lay dormant on the bottom of the ocean floor for hundreds of years. That's fantastic. I just want DISNEY to sell Tentacle Beards for Halloween - to tie in with Davy Jones' character. I want a tentacle beard, by cthulhu! And I wanna see little tentacle bearded kids running around tempting the wrath of the old ones. It'd just make me happy. How about you?

These aren't new.

Hell, I would take sloppy seconds at this point.
-
Sorry...there was me expecting something about King Kong...my bad.
-
If that ship was is the first movie, it would have been pretty stupid. Does this mean the next movie is going to suck? Only time will tell...
-
But, seriously, what happened to that tiny trailer you posted a couple of days ago?
-
I'm thinking dyed silicone would look good. It's funny how Lovecraft has become (I think) the chief influence on horror of the 21st century, replacing Poe. No? "The most merciful thing in the world is the inability of the human mind to correlate all it's contents," he said to the plush Cthulhu on his shelf. Oh, and let's take a poll - how do YOU pronounce "Cthulhu?" Hmm....
-
just want to know what happened to that Pirates of the Carribean news item (with a link to the trailer) that was kicking it about here for about twenty minutes before you deleted it? I posted the best talkback entry in the world. It involved Orlando Bloom, Leprechauns, Keith Richard's guitar and Keira Knightley's severed head...trust me, it worked in the post.
-
Disney Execs not like when meatheads get one over one them, so they pull trailer and warn King Geek with mucho Bounce on noggin!
-
Perhaps I need surgery.
-
*sigh* Davy Jones was singer/tambourine player for the Monkees. The plural of "monkey" (like King Kong) is "monkeys". Harry was not making a King Kong reference. Got it? Thank you.
-
.....where's the Kong info? :p
-
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean!
-
so perhaps it spent money wisely, and can recycle it.
-
had all sorts of fun with he first POTC, and from the looks of the trailer this next one ought to be quite a ride too. Depp not only pulled off a great creation of an original character in the first, Verbinski provided perhaps the best character introduction i have ever seen. i literally laughed out loud when Sparrow stepped onto the dock. the bribing of the dockmaster, and the manner he did it, topped it off beautifully too.

Peter Cook and Dudley Moore together were a riot. and Verbinski redeemed himself from any lingering frog-guilt with POTC, so i have no fears in looking forward to POTC:DMC

The sound wasn't synched with the picture, but it looks decent. I won't tell you where to look, because the Mouse has probably devoured in the time it took me to type this. Tomboy beanpole looks fine dressed as a boy. Oddly enough the natives in their face paint look like they could be from Skull Island, so... Wa sabi ani mako o tar dey Rama Kong! Wasabi?

I pronounce it Kah-Thul-Hoo and I pronounce R'Leyh as Reh-Lay and I sing a song called "Cthulhu's Hideaway" that sounds like Fernando's Hideway, and it goes a little something like this:
He's been asleep for aeons long,
Before our time had even dawned.
But now, he won't be sleeping long!
Make Way! For Cthulhu's Hideway: R'Leyh!
-
ponytail? where did that come from? lol. in all honesty, though i don't think WOTW sucks, its not one of my favorite movies of the year either; just a big fan of the original work. i would have been much happier if Spielberg had set it in its original time period too. as for the impending divorce, man, talk about a tangled web. nothing about the situation is typical, and unfortunately i was too trusting and too generous for too long, put myself behind the 8-ball. at this point, my main concern is just to try to minimize the negative effects on my kids. thanks for the goodwill though.

..but i'm drawing a blank. its been so long since Ford made a decent movie, lol.
-
that was a good flick, but looking over Ford's filmography, you're right, it is the last time he made a good one where he wasn't playing Jack Ryan. i did like Clear and Present Danger though.

quick cuts anyone? lol. as cheesy as it was, i did have fun watching Once Upon a Time in Mexico. i agree that the SUV ambush scene in Clear and Present Danger was top notch, visceral and intense without being too choppy or frenetic.

And I know what I'm talkin' about. But he could play a MEAN tambourine. When he wasn't being a demented midget.
-
Clear and Present Danger also has Ford's greatest "fuck you" moment. His last lines; "I'm sorry Mr. President, I don't dance", that shit is the bomb!

So is Keith Richards definitely not appearing in this one . Is that 100% confirmed ? I would have loved to see that crusty bastard playing Sparrow Sr. He wouldn

A new job.
-
I pronounce it Kuh-Tool-Oo, and pronounce R'Leyh as Arr-Lay. But then I also pronounce tomato as Toh-MAH-toe so what the hell do I know.
-
Most people seem to say Ku-THOO-loo. An old friend says he heard someone who was a part of the old Lovecraft circle (Bloch, I think) pronounce it THOO-loo. All of us of the Ikamono clan however, call Him O-Jii-san.
-
Yes, it's true! GNR nutcase Axl Rose stole Davy's dance moves. It's a proven fact. POTC's Davey Jones should do the dance, too! Tamborine is optional.

Every time he sneezed or something, he lost his wood, but the chicks were smokin. Anyone know what movie that was? Also, can anyone point me to any links on the legend of Cthulhu? I hear that name a lot and I have no idea what it is.

First, get thee to a library! Bookstore, Amazon, whatever, buy, borrow or steal everything you can find written by H.P. Lovecraft. Online go to www.cthulhulives.org for a good site on the Great Old One with lots of fun links. You may want to visit the Campus Crusade for Cthulhu at http://www.locksley.com/cthulhu/index2.htm or play a fun Cthulhu Mythos game online at: http://www2.warnerbros.com/web/arcane/home.jsp?frompage=sitemap Have fun, a whole universe of shrieking insanity awaits you.
-
That's how I always pronounced it. Different spellings in different texts seem to hint at that way as well. POTC was completely mediocre and was upgraded to simply "good" on the strength of Depp's performance alone. I'm hoping the sequels are better.

by seppukudkurosawa
I guess it's better than no Eidetic Memory at all. Speaking of which, I once had an uncle who was an eidetiker. Unfortunately, he wasn't named Cthulu...what are the odds?
-
CORRECT! Doubters can check out the Monkees' t.v. show "video"ish staged performance of DAYDREAM BELIEVER. That goddamn midget was a visionary!
-
Dementia certainly fits...
-
The first movie wasn't Captain Blood or anything, but it was fun and I thought the skeletal pirates were neat-o. With Bill "Shaun of the Dead's step dad (he's not my step dad!)" Nighy as Davey Jones and Stellan "I starred in the suckass Exorcist sequel" Skarsgard as Bootstrap Bill, I think we're going to have a fun cruise.
Oh, and what the HELL with the Lovecraft and Harrison Ford jags? Focus, people. -
To me, POTC felt like a ride that we hadn't had since...I don't know...Indy maybe. It found the balance of serious and comedy, I feel. It wasn't afraid to challenge the set laws of genre filmmaking that seem to hang around many movies like a bad smell. They think that people can't handle it if their movie isn't pigeonholed into a particular safety zone. I really hope that the sequels don't become safe cash-ins or out and out comedy movies.

was i the only one who was wondering what happened to Bootstrap Bill after the end of POTC? i mean, he was stcuk and the bottom of the ocean, undead and all, and then, poof, he's living flesh and blood again, except that he's on the bottom of the friggin ocean, and so he'd drown in just a couple of minutes, right? what i saw as a plot/logic hole in an otherwise great fun movie. if he is supposed to be in this next one i look forward to how they work that out. maybe Davey Jones "claimed" his ass and turned him into a ghost or something. the trailer does look very promising as another fun saturday-matinee popcorn kinda movie.
-
Yeah, how WILL they fill that plot hole about BB? They must figure something out since Capt. Barbossa is back too. Maybe the first movie was just a dream sequence ala Patrick Duffy's "death" in "Dallas" (for those of you under 35, it's the penultimate example of jumping the shark, the ultimate obviously being when Fonzie actually jumped the shark. Wait, now I lost my focus. Damn you Cthulu!)
