By the way, the weapon is spelled cannon. The law is spelled canon.

Just to clear that up again...

According to what the dialogue said I was under the impression that though it couldn't kill them these men were also feeling hungry, thirsty, and horny but there was no way for them to quench those feelings. That's the problem with the curse (imagine what 10 years of starvation would feel like if you could actually survive it).

You try typing with a cat in your lap, bumping your hands wyhile demanding loving cuddling.

And Sylas is right about the curse. They couldn't die, but they also couldn't enjoy living. They could drink as much as they wanted, but it wouldn't quench the thrist. They could eat a table clean, yet still be hungry.

And I've heard of blueballs, but I think they'd have something worse...

Just think, they couldn't even masterbate to relieve themselves!

Keira was one of the Handmaiden of Amidala in EP 1, the one Natalie Portman's character switches with. It's something Lucas hid for quite some time...(Source: IMDB)

Yeah, but by the time they would have realized that they were already in the middle of the fray and probably couldn't break away without getting cut to pieces as they dived for their boats. Besides, where are they going to go other than swimming to the island -- the zombie pirates' home turf. Better to hack like hell and hope they dismember the bastards (they could still cut 'em to pieces even if they won't die) while they've got them cornered and outnumbered.

Children of Bast with the powers of Cute, Cuddly, and Really Sharp Claws.

The question I have is, near the beginning of the movie, when Jack has just saved the girl from drowning and is put in shackles, when he climbs up the loading crane (I think that's what is was), how does he first wrap the chained shackles over the rope to slide down, and second pull the chain (attached to both wrists) off of the rope to jump down?

Darth Yoshi · Post by **Darth Yoshi** » 2003-08-05 02:07pm

Maybe the rope was hastily fastened.

There was plenty of slack in the chain. He through the loop over the rope and held onto it with his hands as he slid down. When he reached the bottom, he just let go of the loop. He never had to detach the chain from his wrists to do the slide.

You beat me to it...

I still totally agree with this line:

I saw it today, grat film...Johnny Depp once again proves why he IS one of the best actors ever.

Too many great scenes to remember, loved Jacks entrance to Port Royal.

Especially loved the rum scene.

'But why the Rum?' It was like watching Charlton Heston finding the statue of liberty...

Darth Yoshi · Post by **Darth Yoshi** » 2003-08-08 04:55pm

Jack's entrance was hilarious. At first it looks like he's being all dramatic, but then you see what happened to the boat.

DocHorror · Post by **DocHorror** » 2003-08-08 05:07pm

Thats why it was so good, it was a film that knew it was a film and didn't take itself to seriously...

I loved it.

Now, I wonder if the Haunted mansion movie is going to be any good...

Great movie, gald I went to see it, my only problem was that while at the drive-in, there were these three girls I went with that kept lusting after Depp. Got really annoying with some of their commentary, mostly because they'd already seen it about four times...

* maybe spoiler, dunno *

The only thing that I didn't get was why was Turner's blood so special? Was he some kind of Aztec descendant or what? I was waiting for the explanation of why his blood could break the curse, and the only thing the bad guy basically said is "he was the nice guy"

Incredible movie BTW. Johnny Depp is one of my fav actors... I heard he's a bitch to work with tho.

* end spoiler wannabe *

Turner's father was one of the pirates who'd originally stolen the gold, and to break the curse, they needed the blood of William (Bill) Turner. The necklace Elizabeth was wearing was the last piece of stolen gold, sent to young Will in England, to prevent Barbados from every breaking the curse. Will's father had been tied to a cannon and thrown overboard when Barbados found out.
"Course, that was b'fore we knew we needed 'is blood. Kinda like irony there, ain't it."

Here's the thing that I was wondering: If Bill Turner was tied to a cannon and thrown overboard, yet was a crew member and suffered the same curse... did he die, or was he just trapped down in the deep until Jack and Will broke the curse?
