Pirates of the Caribbean: First impressions

Arr. Rum... something. Rum's Caribbean, anyway, and I'm pretty sure it's a piratey drink. Or maybe that's grog. Glog is a spiced wine that some sort of non-French Eurofolk enjoy at Christmas (Jeremies also enjoy it and got to try it this year, it was very nice), and screech is Caribbean run of the most particularly cheap and horrifying sort, which the Newfies try to pass off as something one can drink. They are liars. And probably pirates. So as I was saying, rum is a pirate drink!

Of course, I can't drink anything fun right now, so I'm going to settle in for piracy on the sunny seas with a tall glass of... milk. You know, for strong bones. Oh the irony.

Daily ritual time! Jeremy, what do you know about this movie?

• There will be pirates!

• It is likely set in the Caribbean! Which Roomie was good enough to spell for me because I can never remember if it's two Rs or two Bs.

• Two Bs or not two Bs, that is the question.

• There's a cursed jewel, a black pearl that they'r eprobably chasing because pirates or trying to get rid of because curses. Cursed jewels had some real cachet in my gaming group, the two DMs loved them.

• The rest of us not so much.

• There will probably be rum!

• Or grog!

• But not glog, which is a shame.

• Or milk, which is less of a shame but you know, milk is good, go milk.

• SO YES. JEREMY DOES NOT KNOW THIS MOVIE. I know it was popular when I was in elementary school and that they made a sequel and that some kids had lunchboxes. Nobody ever played pirates, though. I think we all thought we were too grown-up for that. And then bickered about cooties or something because hey why not? Nah, we played soccer. Good times.

Now then, I haven't done anything with pirates yet. That sounded lewd. Moving on: let's watch us a new movie! :D

Hmm... ominous foggy opening.

With a ship! Full of pirates?

Hello creepy singing child. That's not dissonant or eerie at all. Go you.

Cursed pirates, or accursed pirates? Didn't catch it. There's a difference.

"Consider them marked." I doubt his sincerity.

Hehehe miniature.

Miss Swan. Mr. Gibbs. Lieutenant. Check.

Hehe Gibbs you're the man.

Mr. SwanGOVERNOR Swan my apologies. HAHAHA you know it, sir.

Do you have enough fog and rrrrandom umbrella

Why so there is! Let us mock him for his unfortunate position.

WELL THEN. Guess pirates have NO TIME FOR YOUR SHIT.

Hello Elizabeth. Go fall in love with that kid, eh? Cool, thanks.

Wait why are you rowing TOWARD the pit of fiery doom?

Bit early for the jumps, yes?

Good day, Will Turner! I mean, not for you, but just in general.

Oooh... intriguing.

You're being a sneak, Liz

Well that does look very friendly AND THAT IS A GHOST PIRATE SHIP OKAY THEN

guys I'm so stoked for this.

So this is Old Liz. Well, grown-up Liz. I shouldn't judge.

Right yes always put on the necklace with the skull on it. It's not obviously cursed and magical.

Every time someone says that there's ALWAYS a HERE WE GO.

Commodore Norrinton.

HAHAHAHHAA agreed Liz. That just seems tremendously unfomcortable.

Nice going sir. Is this Will it's Will.

"The six-fingered man's sword"

I should know more about swords, swords are cool.

Ohhhh it was his work wasn't it.

Let's see if THAT craftsman wants to hear you "appreciate" his "work"

HAHA I like it. At least once more, as always.

Yyyyeah they fell in love.

So now he just has to dress up in black andPIRATE WITH EPIC MUSIC

Look at YOU sir

WHERE'S THE REST OF IT

bad day for you, sirs

Pirates, ye be warned.

This music is excellent. Strings of adventure! :D

HAHAHAHA ohh okay so haha oh this is grand

Exactly.

Look at this guy! Welcome Mr. Smith indeed

oh you scallywag

I like him, he's going to be lots of fun

They do this sort of thing at Louisbourg. It was fun to see a few times.

Need a name for that guy. Hatman. He is Hatman.

Hatman is up to shenanigans and chicanery.

If he sees one, he shall inform you immediately.

Can';t call him HAtman, they;ve all got Hats

hahahaha someone has to do the job, I suppose

Nigh. Great word.

Oh it's a ship!

Oh it's a fake ship!

Oh it's a real ship I hate you both

I'm with you, Braidbeard

A MAN SO EVIL HELL SPAT HIM OUT. SOLD.

Hahaha love the smile.

"Just trying it on, I swear"

IT'S SUCH A PRETTY BOAT! :D

I feel sorry for people whose real name is Smith, it's such an alias

I think he was too

HAHAHA GUYS THIS IS AWESOME. IT'S LIKE PRINCESS BRIDE ON A BOAT

No hold the phone is he hitting on her HE IS PROPOSING TO A LADY HE WAS OLD ENOUGH TO BABYSIT

WHOOPS

Yeah, guy, this is why you're still single. Women would rather plunge into the sea

Pride of the King's navy.

WHAT was that

Yes I just said that

Zooming in on skeletons is never good, I just want you to know that right now

seriously it went like VOOM. Something bad is coming.

The music agrees with me.

Chaotic good?

Chaotic neutral.

What does Signapore have to do with anything OH HEY HE KNOWS WHAT IT IS

"I was undressing her for her own safety, promise"

HAHAHAHAH "his fault" "SHOOT HIM"

Oh would you look at that

WELL THAT DIDN'T GO WELL AT ALL

Hello Jack SpaCAPTAIN Jack Sparrow, my apologies

But you HAVE heard of me!

So sold on this. This is excellent.

THOUGH IT'S ENOUGH TO CONDEMN HIM> oh what are we up to now

Chaotic neutral! :D

AND MY HAT

I thought he couldn't shoot? No powder. He said so

Well come on, what was the alternative? Hanging for saving you? No thank you

HAHAHA YESSSSSS AWESOME

ENJOY THE CANNON

He's just not very good at this

HAHAHAHAHHA that's great

The chase is on!

So they can neither swim nor shoot. Good soldiers.

Oh hey! It's Will!

Not a minute into the shop and he's rubbing his ass.

Are you TEACHING him?

See?

Valid point, Jack.

That was a fairly unlikely thing to be practicing for, jhust saying

This? This is great. The balancing act :D

Uh oh

Annnnd up you go :D

This just keeps getting more and more awesome! :D

The music agrees with me!

Oh hell. You're gonna HAHAHA SUCKER

Interesting! Who is it meant for?

Wait seriously? HE gets the credit HAHAHAH he looks like a troll

Good day Cotton

Yikes.

"Mr Cotton's... parrot" Love it

beyond a doubt

 allo lady

This is a thing, right?

HHEHEHE that's two

right so: borrowed without permission, no success. Commandeer? Great success

AYE. THAT ONE.

"Worse luck not to" Jack knows, man. He knows about the ladies.

See this? This is why I don't boat. This just looks like misery.

 so wait it's a magic item! It points to Ila Da Muerta, doesn't it

Loves him some ceremony, Barbosa does

you know, Barbe is french for beard and Os is french for bone

he's bonebeard

he really is

well this looks familiar

THANK YOU CREEPY PARROT.

SHARKS

 HAHA love the imitation

so that's who it's for. That's actually really awesome.

Aye, the code. Love all these chaotics with a code of ruleHELLO WEALTH

Really? A parasol?

I'm with you, large growly man

That IS a pretty chaotic code, I'll give them that.

"Not all treasure is gold" Truer words...

Hell of a speechyman, isn't he?

How did they not figure it out right from the getgo? or was it one of those nasty slow curses

Oh now the monkey knows IT IS NEVER RIGHT WHEN THE MONKEY KNOWS

PErsonal space, Jack

JAck's just excellent. Kudos to the actor, he just owns it

oh shit what's gonna happen

thsat was stupid

he told you nothing stupid

that was pretty simple, all told

Didn't take. I wonder why. Sure hope Jack didn't deliver them exactly what they want

LEt's check

HAHAHHAA I DIDN'T THINK HE'D ACTUALLY DO IT

GUYS COME ON enough with the abuse

what the hell are they afraid of?

It's coming undone now!

OHHHHH THEY DID WHAT?

"eh fine, let's just WAIT WHAT"

Oh shit Jack's still in the cave

AHAHHAA he stole the oars. Of course he ddwell that didn't last long

"am I not? oh well then NOT THAT WEAY OR THIS WAY"

Parsley? PArlez!

he's gonna say it

HE SAID IT. Can I take that flaw next time?

How do you NOT make that mistake? It's the man's name!

See?

She did, too! Call her out, then kiss her. She's gonna let ya

She's gonna kiss you first at this rate

DON'T STOP oh there it is right there plain as day

OH GO ON ALREADY

"because shiny!"

Oh come off it you would have loved it

annnd now Will catches up. I love being ahead of the characters, I feel smart.

Jack, Jack you're overreaching. Baaaaadly.

I suspect this does not go in Jack's favor. They're going to catch up to the Interceptor. Which will be the Intercepted.

That's a valid point YOU ARE TAUNTING HIM and who called it? I called it. I am a genius!

"People are easy to search when they're dead!" FLING. Love it. Barbosa, you're a hell of a guy. Man so evil, nah, but you're a hell of a fun thing.

Wait do they bring their own fog?

Oh so now she's in charge! Ladies rule the ship!

"Apparently there's a leak!" Jack you're just so unflappably deranged, I love it.

What does that mean that he said it like it was this sneaky awesome thing? "The sweeps?"

William, you're going to do something particularly stunned soon, aren't you

Yeah, fight the skeletons. Always works.

You and your GODDAMN MONKEY

IS it just me or is Liz DAFT LIKE JACK HOW IS THAT A COMPLIMENT

so how does this help?

I'm not a nautical guy, I don't get the what-all of this

Treacherous, lady. Where's your sisterhood

This is getting hard to follow with all the god and that was like a bolas they just shoOHHH SHIT THIS IS BAD

So wait, he boarded... his own ship... with the other ship.

Just speculating, what happens if you knock one into the drink?

Wait why is je stuck udner the ship WHAT IS HAPPENING OH GOS TRESS THEY'RE GOING TO BLOW IT UP

"Thanks very much!"

WHACK. Yes, like that, thank you Jack

FOCUS sir

You fucking monkey. You know, I used to like monkeys

"That's not very nice!"

So, lawful good, chaotic good and a chaotic neutral party member they don't particularly like.

Chasing a monkey? Come on.

"Not you, we named the monkey Jack." IT HURTS TO LAUGH OH MY GOD

This is NOT VERY POSITIVE. I know he gets out, they need his blood, but STILL THERE IS DROWINING

Not a fan of the French, is he?

Barbosa, the crazy eye is strong with you

He's gonna

Annnnnd there he goes

"Like that." Yes, Jack. Like that.

Why do they let him talk?

Don't fuck it up, boy

"Yes we know that one"

Poor Jack. Will does NOT like you.

If he had, they wouldn't be quite so completely fucked right now, eh?

"Don't dare question my honor!" Love Barbosa. He's just sneaky witty good fun.

THE DRESS HAHAHAHHA oh that's brilliant

Haha you old pervert.

That we made you Governor of. I'm just all over how awesome a dick Barbosa is.

And he even plays "fair." BY THE POWERS, YOU'RE RIGHT!

Oh here we go, the Lawful Chaotic Comedy Hour

"Not likely" THAT WAS A BRA SIZE JOKE sneaky clever bastard

It WAS rum. I knew it!

Man you're all over the map on pirates and whatlike. It's all good if it's not him, eh? You're a brat

A DRUNKEN BRAT and he loves the song. REALLY BAD EGGS

What IS the Spanish Main? I never got that.

Is he philosophizing orshmoozing

IT'S A PUT ON DON'T TRUST THE SIREN

And then he does this wacky moustache curl he's just the most insane and awesome thing SEE I TOLD YOU

Well that's an idea

WHY IS THE RUM GONE?

BUT WHY IS THE RUM GONE? oh it jurts to laugh

Hahaha I love the deadpan

Oh hey Governor Curly

WHY DOES ANYONE LET HIM TALK

TRUMP CARDED

Drinks all around! :D

Jack you're the last person who should be mentioning the word clap, me thinks

He'll probably say something clever and I'll like him again but still

"The future Mrs. Commodore"

Oh come on why are YOU being a prick? To HER? No logic there and ohhh yes it is. You burned the poor man's rum!

HEHEHE I like those two

annnnd here's Jack again!

"S'not possible!"

    This is still the best pirate movie ever, even if the sequels did make Jack thoroughly wear out his welcome.

    It occurs to me, Jeremy, have you been to Disneyland or Walt Disney World and been on the ride that inspired this movie?

    1. Then they changed the ride to include Sparrow, Barbossa, and a character from the second movie...

    2. My parents brought me to Disneyland when I was still, like, two. Why they thought that was a good idea, I don't know. I've never really been on holiday; just traveled for sports and school things.

  2. oh my god it just occurred to me YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN JOHNNY DEPP BEFORE (he is the actor who plays Captain Jack Sparrow). Because now you get to experience things like Edward Scissorhands and Sleepy Hollow and so many more... holy cow. So excited for you!

  5. While the sequels have their flaws, I would certainly encourage Jeremy to watch at least 2 & 3 back to back. It also introduces a glorious new musical theme for the bad guy.

    1. I think the sequels should be reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally low on his list of priorities. There's still so many great movies for him to see.

      Delete
    2. I meant, if he decides to see them, he should watch 2 &3 together. But the first movie a perfect standalone movie.

  7. So there's a scene for the movie, after the end of the credits.

    You might be interested in watching it.

  9. I recently rewatched these on a work trip. For some reason they (all four of them) were on tv in India. I got to remember how much I love the first one and the others are pretty good too, though not as fantastic. The soundtrack is by Klaus Badelt and Hans Zimmer. That second name there is going to become very familiar to you, though Klaus Badelt has some good movies to his credit, it isn't anywhere near the list of fantastic scores that Zimmer has been a part of.

  10. I love how you refer back to other movies from the list:

    "Aha, a wretched hive of scum and villainy!

    Why yes I watched it again why do you ask"

    Thanks for keeping me entertained! Each one of these posts makes me want to go back and watch the movie again.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I would just like to say that CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow has the best character introduction in the history of cinema. :)

    Thank you for doing this. Reading first impressions of all these movies I watched growing up really brings me back. Hope you have a speedy recovery.
