Subject: Yo Ho! Author: Connie [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 18:02:22 07/21/03 Mon Hi gang! Well I'm not sure how to make this BCR-related, except to say...wasn't there a photo shoot in the 70's where the Rollers dressed as pirates? :o) Or maybe it was just Les in the Ego-Trip years...I know I've seen some very nice pictures of him in a pirate suit somewhere!! Which is mainly my lead-in to say...if you haven't seen the new "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie yet...RUN, don't walk, to the ticket booth! I can't say I've ever been a particularly big fan of Johnny Depp in the past (though I do admire his acting skills), but his performance in this film is totally captivating, absolutely classic, a definite must-see!! Orlando Bloom continues to be gorgeous, and Geoffrey Rush is one of the best actors out there, but Depp *totally* steals the show! I have to quote one of my favorite comments from a female reviewer..."Oh. My. God. ......and the movie was good too!!" LOL For those of you who have already had the pleasure...so to speak...I'd love to hear what you thought. I've seen this film three times so far and I'm looking forward to seeing it again...and again! Rumor has it a sequel is already in the works! Oh and by the way....yes, I'm back home now (and ever so glad to be there!!!) Is everyone enjoying the summer? :o) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date Connie, if you stayed til the very end of the credits like my daughter Marcie and I always do, you will see what appears to be a hint of a sequel. And you're right!! The movie rocks! Marcie had seen it twice already when she wanted me to take her again, (she's 15 and going to the movies together is our big thing.) Anyway, I wasn't sure I'd like it, but I was pleasantly surprised!! Johnny Depp shines in this movie, and Orlando Bloom is just adorable. The special effects are awesome too! Get ye to the theater and see this movie, mateys! (NT) Becky 05:30:27 07/22/03 Tue Heard this was great. Kara's seen it too w/ buddies - mom is so NOT cool :-( Becky you're lucky that you two have a special "something" together! My "thing" usually involves sitting in the bleachers or standing in the rain during a track meet (oooh, and cross country...can you say COLD!!??) And other parents look at me w/ the 10 & 3 yr. old and laugh as they say "Guess your butt will be in these stands for a few more years!" HA! Makes me think, I would love everyone to post a quick "family update"...What's everyone up to? (NT) mary f. 10:08:19 07/23/03 Wed I've always been a huge fan of Johnny Depp, expecially after Edward Scissorhands. He is a GREAT actor, and a BABE! (NT) charlie 11:35:29 07/23/03 Wed Hello Connie et al, after seeing your post I pretty much demanded we see the movie and though I enjoyed it immensely..(man did I LOL at the deserted island no rum scene) I am left with some questions as to why Depp's character had more powers sotospeak. Any insight? Lastly we stayed till the end cuz Becky said so as I had to see what was at the end..course in the meantime of speed reading the credits did you notice Craig Wood was the film Editor??!! Becky I agree a sequel is near. Finally Orlando is SUCH a cutie, but damn doesn't he seem soooo young??!! (NT) ~Mary 20:27:11 07/28/03 Mon YO HO HO! Linda 16:31:09 07/30/03 Wed Mary! The deserted island/rum scene was my favorite part as well! ;oD Regarding your questions as to Captain Jack's "powers" I presume you are referring to the last scenes in the cave? Don't want to give away any plot twists here....but I think I may know the answer, if you mean what I think you mean...LOL!! E-mail me directly at Cojehali@aol.com and I'll see if we're on the same page! And YES I did notice that Craig Wood was the editor! Too funny!! I'm still waiting for my 4th viewing...and getting antsy! Pirate withdrawal! ;o) (NT) Connie 20:25:29 07/30/03 Wed OMG, Pirates of the Caribbean is my new favorite movie!! I have always loved Johnny Depp, but I think this is his best roll yet!! I saw it on opening day at Disneyland, and just got back in town after a nearly 3 week vacation. And the first thing I want to do is go see it again!! Glad to see I am not alone in my obsessions, lol. (NT) KathyF 10:07:02 08/01/03 Fri oh MY, now i def wanna see this movie. i did before, just to see JD, but with all these great reviews, i have to try to sneak away from the kiddies to give it a view! and thanks for posting that yummy photo too!! (NT) erica 10:34:42 08/06/03 Wed Just saw it a few weeks ago and i LOVED it! I esp loved the "rum" scene LOL Did you guys hear Johnny Depp got his inspiration for his character from Keith Richards? (NT) Gina whyrumgone! = ) 16:34:32 08/15/03 Fri Hi Gina! I heard his inspiration was a cross between Keith Richards and Pepe LePew! What a concept, eh? Who else could have interpreted that role in such a way? (NT) Connie 13:00:16 08/16/03 Sat And he did a wonderful job of it = ) (NT) -- Gina = ), 14:26:25 08/16/03 Sat
