What about the Jews? by Killaarmy	Jan 3rd, 2007 11:33:21 AM
Did they get 8 bottles of Rum?
Nice ! by RobinP	Jan 3rd, 2007 11:35:09 AM
Are they on Ebay yet ?
Don't spoil'em Bruckheimer. by PwnedByStallone	Jan 3rd, 2007 11:35:27 AM
What a dickhead.
eBay... by BanAllFIRSTPosters	Jan 3rd, 2007 11:47:13 AM
Those poor crew members probably wanted some holiday cash. There's more than one way to get that...
Fifth! by Darth-Mike	Jan 3rd, 2007 11:48:51 AM
Yo-ho!
It's a subscription to the Jelly of the Month Club! by kinghenryVIII	Jan 3rd, 2007 11:52:35 AM
Fuck yeah! Thanks for your help, bitches! Reminds me of the Christmas I got an electric ice scrapper for my car. Plugged into the cig lighter outlet. Big fucking do! Bruckheimer, you spoiled those fuckers. Should have bought 'em lap dances.
Was the rum directed by Tony Scott? by Spandau Belly	Jan 3rd, 2007 11:53:14 AM
I prefer my rums overexposed and overedited with random text pop-ups, adds to the flavour!
3 minute half-done MSPaint bottle labels by Enter4None	Jan 3rd, 2007 11:58:01 AM
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.
Isn't that cute? by BizarroJerry	Jan 3rd, 2007 12:00:29 PM
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.
CAN U HANDLE RUM? by THE KNIGHT	Jan 3rd, 2007 12:00:46 PM
Can any of you wankers actually take some Rum straight to the head...
Atleast it's 80 proof by kinghenryVIII	Jan 3rd, 2007 12:00:57 PM
and cleverly douped Coke.
JERRY BRUCKHEIMER GOTTA DRINK by Pound Sand	Jan 3rd, 2007 12:01:07 PM
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!
I'VE BEEN SAYING FOR 3 YEARS... by Frijole	Jan 3rd, 2007 12:08:42 PM
That if someone made Captain Jack's Spiced Rum, I'd be first in line to buy a case... I love all the silly sailors and their rum. Captain Morgan, Sailor Jerry, Admiral Nelson...
I wonder by BizarroJerry	Jan 3rd, 2007 12:12:09 PM
You think there's a recovering alcoholic on the crew who just had a relapse cuz his unsuspecting boss handed him a big bottle of booze? Thanks for such an in offensive story, AICN, so we can have a fun talkback with no call to get angry. Saarrrsgarrrd!
How about a gift for the fans... by Admiral_Snackbar	Jan 3rd, 2007 12:14:54 PM
IE a friggin' trailer for part 3!!!
Too Silv-arrrh! by Enter4None	Jan 3rd, 2007 12:15:24 PM
Indeed.
considering that "the crew" could be in the thousands by mrbong	Jan 3rd, 2007 12:16:36 PM
this is a pretty decent, fun gesture. making films and watching films can sometimes be just plain fun, you know?
whatever. by future help	Jan 3rd, 2007 12:25:23 PM
hardly news.
Retail $20 ... Made by Patron by RetroActive	Jan 3rd, 2007 12:29:09 PM
Good rum...but kinda cheap.
MORE IMPORTANTLY... by djWHEAT	Jan 3rd, 2007 12:30:35 PM
How about the fact that Ben Stiller gave all his good buddies 1080p Sony LCD TV's with Blu-Ray Players. Way to go Ben.
I wish by godzillasushi	Jan 3rd, 2007 12:36:21 PM
I just get a basket of cookies....
Yeah, where is the trailer? by ZakChase	Jan 3rd, 2007 12:39:26 PM
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.
Great, until Bruckheimer is sued for the resulting DWI by SpyGuy	Jan 3rd, 2007 12:42:23 PM
"Shorry, Offisher HIC...I jusht came from thish HIC aweshome wrap party where I got thish HIC shweet gift from Jerry Brucksheimer...Yeah, THAT Jerry Brucksheimer!"
Oh, and keep the LOST actors away from Bruckheimer by SpyGuy	Jan 3rd, 2007 12:46:23 PM
One swig of this and they'll be killed off the show!
glitzless... by RetroActive	Jan 3rd, 2007 12:55:09 PM
thanks for the laugh.
So these two films will make over $2 billion by DirkD13"	Jan 3rd, 2007 01:10:31 PM
In BO alone, and a bottle of rum is the gift bestowed upon those who have made them. That makes my end-of-year bonus seem awesome in comparison.
mattw by Cuppa_Ace	Jan 3rd, 2007 01:16:54 PM
and yet you still clicked on the link... hmmm
Thats awesome by Bobo_Vision	Jan 3rd, 2007 01:21:27 PM
And the jelly of the month club comment kinghenry was pretty funny.
Only 80 proof? by Meglos	Jan 3rd, 2007 01:30:42 PM
Weak sauce...
What? No Yo Ho Ho? by Zarles	Jan 3rd, 2007 01:34:21 PM
Cheap fuck.
and what happened? by kinghenryVIII	Jan 3rd, 2007 02:10:51 PM
blood and toture porn!
wow...that makes my $35 gift card to by just pillow talk	Jan 3rd, 2007 02:14:13 PM
stop n shop from my cheap ass company seem like gold! Gold I tell ya! Too bad Stop n Shop doesn't sell Pyrat Rum...
kinda cool by finky089	Jan 3rd, 2007 02:47:35 PM
But you'd thin kthey coulda put out a bit more $$ given how much these films have made. Still, must just "be an honor" to work on it.
But why is the rum gone? by Ribbons	Jan 3rd, 2007 02:55:28 PM
I know that doesn't make much sense in context, I just wanted an excuse to say it. Peace out, homes!
Most spiced rums are 80 proof or less... by Frijole	Jan 3rd, 2007 03:24:57 PM
In fact, AT 80 proof I believe Sailor Jerry's (my personal favorite) and Pyrat are the strongest out there...
I hate the taste of Rum. Once was enough. by JDanielP	Jan 3rd, 2007 03:54:38 PM
Send it back.
Can't waits to get me a bottle on eBay! by Uncle Stan	Jan 3rd, 2007 03:55:40 PM
Floyd Lawson buggered me childhood.
King Henvry, that's the gift that keeps on by Barry Egan	Jan 3rd, 2007 04:01:18 PM
giving, the whole year round.
Now they can wash down their catered fishsticks by Doctor_Sin	Jan 3rd, 2007 04:01:36 PM
When Johnny Depp worked on "From Hell," did he get a little absinthe to take home?
SHIT by ObiWanCon	Jan 3rd, 2007 04:15:43 PM
What a complete piece of SHIT this article is just like Pirates of the Caribbean.
Bacardi Anejo is way better by S-Mart shopper	Jan 3rd, 2007 04:32:29 PM
Pyrat has a whiskey taste, not very rum like,no sir.
Captain Morgans Silver is a nice cheap way to go by S-Mart shopper	Jan 3rd, 2007 04:50:29 PM
with 7-up and lime, ultra smooth and tasty!
Bring on 'At World's End'!!! by performingmonkey	Jan 3rd, 2007 04:57:08 PM
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	Jan 3rd, 2007 05:15:54 PM
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?!"
Amen, performingmonkey dude...Amen..... by Jimmy Jazz	Jan 3rd, 2007 08:52:52 PM
These movies kick ass!
Actually by salamimansam	Jan 3rd, 2007 09:43:27 PM
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.
Salamimansam, I agree and disagree. by Uncapie	Jan 4th, 2007 12:03:22 AM
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!
Aw, for cryin' put loud !!! by RobinP	Jan 4th, 2007 11:00:06 AM
You're complaining, moaning, bitching and whining about a xmas gift given to a film crew now ? Jeez - they're well enough paid, this is an added extra that thay'll probably sell on Ebay to make some more cash anyway.
