Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl

So... Do you people believe that Lucas will make a Monkey Island film? Many poeple thought it deppended on teh success of Pirates of the Caribbean...

If Pirates of the Caribbean is as good as I've heard, then maybe we don't need a Monkey Island movie. Part of the reason I wanted a MI movie is because there weren't enough good pirate films. PotC just might fill the need.
I'd rather we get a Sam and Max movie or a Grim Fandango movie.

Well, I guess Satan is coming to visit, because this capalert website warned us against the following unholy obscenities, all present in the movie:

-bird defecation on shoulder
-slappings
-storm peril at sea
-inappropriate touch

I have got to see this movie, even if it means me going to hell in a handbasket.

OH man, it was such a great movie. I went opening night and couldnt stop talking about it all night afterwards. Reviewers around where I live gave it a 3 and a half stars out of 4. very very good. i was a bit frightened about the 'try wearing a corset' line but its soo fast you can barely notice it. really this is a brilliant moive and johnny deep's characterization of his role is fantastic.

and wasnt beauty and the beast the first pg 13 movie from disney? i dunno, i read that somewhere

AHhhhhh!!!! Who cares if Disney is evil and all that? Come on, that arguement is about as exciting as Microsoft $ucks arguements.

Anyway, Darth Mandarb: No. Nothing. No LOGO. I found that very odd. No logo for ANY company. No real opening credits to speak of. I think names on the screen as the scene opened up, off in the corner, but to tell you the truth I can't even remember seeing them. I think they are downplaying the Disney thing a "little" bit. I didn't know it was by Disney until I went to the website after seeing the movie.

Honestly, if anyone is not seeing this movie because it was made by Disney...you...are...a...stupid-head.

I want to go see it again.

The corset thing. It would have been bad, except that they built up to it. It was a joke that actually worked, it played an important part in the movie. I was shocked to see that. So many movies today have such crap jokes.

Oh, the PG-13 thing, that's not a factoid someone pulled out of their butt...I'm pretty sure it's on the website or something.

arrrr,

yeah, the logo thing was kinda odd. they just threw on the title of the movie and then it barely faded away cool..... and thats all i remembered seeing... i dont even remember seeing names. the people i went with were like... okay... that was odd.

i really hope people arent seeing this on the pretense of the country bears movie or because its disney. this is a true quality film

Trapezoid · Sat 12/07/2003 03:31:25

I just saw it. It's most excellent. Best movie I've seen in a while.

EDIT, furthermore, wether it does well not, I think this movie's going to be a cult classic in several years. Really really kick ass movie.

rodekill · Sat 12/07/2003 07:47:50

But the big question remains... is there insult sword-fighting?
I'll probably see it next week.

Scummbuddy · Sat 12/07/2003 08:04:55

No, but the swordfighting scenes are great enough to make up for the lack of insults.

actually, now that i think about it... when the first meeting between the two main chars occur, there may be some insults going through... they just dont rhyme in case you were wondering.

Well, they don't rhyme because they're not on a ship. Ship combat is different from land combat, remember.

I was a little dissapointed at the small amount of insults, but appreciated that they did have some.

taryuu · Sat 12/07/2003 16:13:25

well even the swordfights aren't that great, and that corset joke fell flat in the audience i was watching it with, it was a pretty good movie tho. not perfect, but then what can you expect out of hollywood these days. Still go see it, but don't expect it to be AMAZING.

be forewarned, it is a "Jerry Bruckheimer Film"

But that is good. Remember Crimson Tide?

I think he also made The Rock, which was a great film.

On another note about Religion and gays:

I guess I might be going to see this then. The movie, that is.

DragonRose · Sat 12/07/2003 20:07:55

I must put in my three cents and state that I actually liked the "Try wearing a corsette" line, as well as the build up, because I HAVE worn a corsette, and yeah, it is pain. There is squishings and pokings of things that should neither be squished nor poked. Gotta love that whalebone! The chick was actually wearing one of the most comfortable corsettes that I've seen (Elizabethan effigy style, front and back lacing. Comparatively lots of give to it) Then again, I doubt anyone actually cares.

I loooooooooved this movie. It has made me realize that my local film reviewer is nuts, because he didn't like it. This movie had muskets, pirates, skeletons, curses, Orlando Bloom, sword fights, a monkey, hangings, guys with long hair, AWESOME costumes, and many other wonderful things. This has been added to my "Gotta get it on DVD" list.

he also made Kangaroo Jack.

Trapezoid · Sun 13/07/2003 00:24:20

POTC more than cancels Kangaroo Jack.
In fact, I doubt Bruckheimer had much creative input into this. Let's all get on our knees and thank Misters Verbinski, Elliot, Rossio, and Depp o'course.

taryuu · Sun 13/07/2003 06:24:04

Ok let's look of some Jerry's recent work shall we???
KangarooJack (2002)
Pearl Harbor (2001)
Coyote Ugly (2000)
Gone in 60 Secs (2000)
Armageddon (1998)

Do i really need to make a snide comment about these films, or do they speak for themselves?

Las Naranjas · Sun 13/07/2003 10:20:16

Hehe, he's a producer, not an artist.

So he's a businessman, and he knows all too well Barnum's comments on the taste of the general public.

Miez · Sun 13/07/2003 10:30:07

Well, he may be a succesful businessman, but judging by Taryuu's list he has a poo taste in movies

umm besides kangaroo jack, whats wrong with the others. they were all almost blockbusters, if not ones themselves.

I just bought the game for gameboy, and it sounds really good. I'll let you know what I think about the game.
