Big first weekend, 70% drops to follow.
-
That could've been like 1,000% funnier.
-
but they lost the edge, at world's end was just not at all where they needed to go with the series.
-
i hope Johny Depp get's to the fountain of youth, drinks it, and is turned into Jay
Baruchel for a portion of this movie. -
Penelope Cruz in a pirate costume.
-
the Barbossa character is the best thing about that series.
-
It's probably the most balls-out surreal mainstream blockbuster ever. That said, the jokes weren't particularly memorable and the action sequences went on way too long.
-
Well worth reading before the movie comes out.
-
1.) KEEP IT UNDER TWO HOURS2.) KEEP IT COMPLETELY SELF-CONTAINED. NO "CLIFFHANGER" BULLSHIT.3.) LET JACK SPARROW ACTUALLY BE FUNNY.
-
Actually, four...KEEP THE CAMERAS FOCUSED ON PENELOPE CRUZ'S CLEAVAGE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
-
Yes it could have been funnier... and the end product probably won't be as good as would have been if you and me had been in charge.. blah.. but isn't it great to see CJS again and hear that score?
-
And it went downhill from there.Let it go, man. Let it go.
-
The third film wasn't allowed to get as lost in weirdness as it clearly wanted to. I love the boatload of Sparrows.I've heard the book is great. I shall pursue.
-
My God, the last one was like a college lecture.
-
I hope it's good. Hopefully it'll benefit from not having to carry the baggage of the others (actors and/or continuing plots).
-
The first one was enjoyable, but after that the novelty quickly wore off. I think they should have taken more time with these movies. The whole thing feels rushed.
-
When I got a blu-ray player, I got all three PIRATES films thrown in free. That was two years ago, and I still haven't watched them because every time I try I get bored after 10 minutes. Seriously, they are the most BORING films I think I have ever seen. No storytelling, no wit, a sense of humour that's only funny if you hang out with Jerry Bruckheimer. Last week I tried again, and turned off. Instead I put in Jaromil Jires' VALERIE AND HER WEEK OF WONDERS. Now THAT's entertainment. The tragedy, of course, is that Depp is a wonderful movie star. Between this and the dreck he makes with Tim Burton, he hardly has time to make any actual movies.
-
After he gets done filming this as Blackbeard, He needs to get on a plane and go to New Zeland and do the voice of Smaug. (Cocksucker)
-
I may watch this after all....Those who don't suck cock by choice.

Ian McShane - Hell Yeah! And anyone got a better vid?
by impossibledreamers
I heard about McShane a while back. After Deadwood - I think he will kick ass as Blackbeard. And Soze I love the idea of him doing Smaug, especially after being Kung Fu Panda's baddie.

Cruz & Depp together again in another film that BLOWs!

-
But the digital work done on Davey Jones is astonishing - it still looks fucking amazing and its one the best examples of CGi in recent years. Its just a pity the two sequels were pretty awful. Matrix-sequel awful.
-
...bitching about talking in the Pirates films? Fuck you all! No they aren't the best films, but they're far better than most of the cockshit that stains the theater screens.
-
These films get gayer by the sequel.
-
What may save this is the absence of Knightly and Bloom (and not because of their dubious acting skills). The love story was OK in the first film, but became a drag on the sequels. Jack Sparrow owned the first film. Rum and wenches!
-
By pure coincidence, I picked up Valerie and Her Weeks of Wonders as well. How was it, and was it, in fact, "scary"?
-
Where did you get your copies of Valerie and her week of Wonders?
I've been looking out for it for ages.The film is very dream like and beautiful. -
Can't get any gayer for me. Personally I hope it goes full on gay! That would be awesome. Cocksuckingly awesome!
-
Yes! I live in the UK and it's on a label called SECOND RUN - so you can get it shipped over from there if you are in US. If you are in the UK it's on Play.com. Daniel, I wouldn't say it was scary although there are some terrifying images in there - it's dreamlike, beautiful, a little bit pervy... There's not much story in the conventional sense but it's strangely gripping - - I loved it! Hope you enjoy it too.
-
instead of this uber shit crap cash in
-
Poor people. Although to be fair they get PIXAR (better than any Disney when I was small) and Harry Potter (better than One of our Dinosaurs is Missing). So it's not all bad for them.
-
They're not perfect, but the cast and production values are impeccable. These are everything the Mummy movies aren't. And Jack Sparrow is already iconic. More please.

I think of Little Lupe nowadays when I think of Penelope speakin

My pussy is like a mat-ine.

no one seems to care that much
-
...'nuff said.
-
Can someone please explain that nonsense to me??
-
over a barrel and pants him, and then take a pnuematic dildo and fuck his ass with that god-awful device until he screams for mercy
-
If it were still Gore Verbenski, it would be a safe , but most likely predictable affair.The Chicargo director , doesn't seem an obvious replacement .This could veer into Joel Shuemaker territory if we're not careful.
Despite the lackluster sequels {where less ,would have certainly been more} theres still some love for the concept and I'd like to see Capt Jack back on form.Things need to be a bit more focused , concentrating more on actuall piracy and wenching , rather than all out supernatural/surrealist shit.The last two were a real chore to sit through , despite some beautiful production design and great fx.The fun just seemed to drain away.Why the hell were they so long for a start. -
They were already ape-ing him on the movies thus far. Time Bandits, for sure.

I wanna fuck you like a wild laminal it is.

("but they lost the edge, at world's end was just not at all where they needed to go with the series.")
The problem with the third film in this series is that they filmed it at the same time as the second one as a cost saving measure. That might have been a good financial move but I think that it didn't give them sufficient time to hammer out a decent script. With a little time to come up with a better script the potential still exits for some good stupid fun with this world and these characters. -
...pretty much the worst movies I've ever seen. Absolutely horrible. Very little hope for a fourth. I do however love the character Depp has created, so who knows?
-
...That we get four PIRATES movies and only one MASTER AND COMMANDER.
-
You get the gist.
-
Lord knows he still looks young enough to pass it off, sonofabitch. Actually like the mermaid idea. Maybe Nolan should remake The Little Mermaid. Gritty realism= no seashells! Beautiful, mysterious, bare breasted mermaids, the way they look in real life! Starring Deborah Ann Knoll from True Blood. Maybe throw Lizzy Caplan, Amanda Seyfried, and Marion Cotillard in there And Christina Hendricks as more of a bombshell Ursula. Liam Neeson as Triton? Wait....wasn't I talking about Pirates? Damn...serious caffeine tangent. Sorry.
