Wanna See What Bruckheimer & Co. Gave PIRATES 3 Crew Members For Christmas??

Published at:  Jan 04, 2007 6:23:31 AM CST


Merrick here...



If I understand correctly, AT WORLD'S END crew folk received these about a week before Christmas. Take a look!





Pretty classy, in my opinion. Not huge news...just an interesting little insight.

Thanks to DragonRider23 for sending these along.

    Those poor crew members probably wanted some holiday cash. There's more than one way to get that...

    If that doesn't say "you indeed are part of my family and as such I put no effort in hiding the fact that I'm lazy to come up with something at the last moment that is actually original or thoughtful, but you can sell it on Ebay, savvy? hee I crack myself up, oh and did you know I made the labels? not too shabby right?"... then I don't know what else would.

    by bizarrojerry

    I looks like little Jerry signed it and stuck the label on all by himself. They didn't show the cards with crayon drawings of Jerry and the cast under a rainbow... Aw, I don't really hate Bruckheimer, just thought that crooked label was funny.

    I'm sure the crew on those pictures are making enough coin to buy houses, boats, etc. The rum is like a little cherry on top of all the perks they get. The ARE an IATSE crew, you know. No one is getting ripped off. You fanboys don't know jack about production. Most movies give you a hat or a t-shirt.

    by pound sand

    Nice packaging, however, if memory serves, the top of the line Pyrat rum is the Cask 23, not the XO. So in effect, the crew members all basically just got the equivalent of a "Participant" ribbon for grade school field day. Oh well, drink up mateys, and HAAAAAaaaaaaaarrrrr!

    by zakchase

    I understand why they're taking their time. They're trying not to overexpose the franchise, and they needed to give the Dead Man's Chest DVD some room to breathe and sell copies. But it's January now! Bring on the At World's End trailer already! I actually loved Dead Man's Chest. In fact, I think it's quite underrated ... at least, considering how many people didn't take to it.

    Bring on 'At World's End'!!!

    by performingmonkey

    IMO the two movies so far have been the best blockbuster action/adventure flicks in a HELL of a long time. Dead Man's Chest was so fantastic I couldn't believe how far they went. Gore Verbinski and the writers gave a big 'fuck you' to just about every other big moviemaker in the business by DARING to throw in some darkness and real depth when many people were expecting a mindless comedy blockbuster (granted, the trailers make it look like a comedy, but it fucking ISN'T, and SO MANY people could NOT take that when they saw it. Also, I think a lot of people THOUGHT they had seen the first movie when in reality they had just gotten the vibe of Depp's legendary performance and thought this was a comedy series so went along when they didn't even know who Bootstrap Bill or Barbossa were). At World's End is going to rule, it's gonna round off one of the finest trilogies ever committed to film. FACT. Now die.

    I agree; Captain Morgan should have been the brand.

    by uncapie

    Captain Morgan; pirate. Movie being made about pirates. Doesn't take a brain sugeon to figure this one out. Also, I don't trust a company known for its delicious tequilla picking up a rum deal. What's next? Mexican vodka? "Hey, how about some of that rootin'-tootin' Mexican vodka?!"

    Actually

    by salamimansam

    Captain Morgans blows as far as rum goes. Pyrat is one of the best rums I have had for the 20-30 range. It should be sold for just 20 bucks, though a lot of people sell it for much more (I run a liquor store). Either way, sort of a big fuck you considering the fact that the movies made billions and most people working the film are making the bare minimum.

  • Jan 04, 2007 12:03:22 AM CST

    Salamimansam, I agree and disagree.

    by uncapie

    Its a matter of preference. Mount Gay rum is pretty good for the price you pay. Of course, there's Bacardi Gold and 8 that some people like too. I've never had a problem serving Captain Morgan's in Cuba Libre's(A good Cuba Libre is served with a dash of bitters.) and I was a bartender for over twenty years. But, if you really want a bang for your buck, go with Bacardi 151. If even comes with a spark arrester on the top!
