This morning I had the following conversation with myself.

Dala's Reason: All you are going to do is pop the PotC disc in and check something in the very first scene. No more than five minutes.
Dala's Id: 'Kay.
*disc in*
DI: Ooooh navy ships shiny wheeeeee!
DR: All right, I'm satisfied now.
DI: BUT I WANNA WATCH IT!
DR: You can't. That wasn't part of the deal. Only the one relevant scene.
DI: BUT I WANNA WATCH THE WHOLE THING!!!
DR: You have work to do!
DI: NAWWWW!!! WANT!!!
DR: Why? You've seen it eighty million times! It lives in your head! You do not have two and a half hours to spend watching a movie you have seen eighty million times!
DI: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!
DR:....sigh. This is a disease, you know.

*giggles so much she nearly falls off the sofa*

I soooo know what you're on about. *bounce* You know what the scary thing is though? Virtually every time I watch it or get screen caps from it, I come across something new & different...

Example: Did you ever notice that we only twice* see Gov. Swann's legs? It's like they're trying to deny he's a normal human being!

Hee! I will watch for that now!

On repeated viewings of the first scene, I noticed a really good-looking sailor over Norrington's shoulder when they're watching the merchant ship burn. Yum.

Oooh, there's one (well, the *ahem* rear view is nice) when Liz says she'll marry James - I have a screencap on the other machine.

Mmm... yummy sailors *grin* Not to forget Hot Rower Guy either *giggle*

Not to forget Hot Rower Guy either
Dude! Yes! didn't someone mention that on C-B, way back when I was active there? I so remember it.....

[link] [parent] [reply]

Yeah, I think the Hot Rower Guy stsrted over at IMDb and moved to CB with the general migration (the same as peej's Teddy fan-club & possibly the RRWPWGOTIWQTMAOTAT Society), I seem to recall

twobluestripes being a fan, but I could be wrong... (You see, us old-school Rumrunners were eyeing up random extras back when the film were still at the cinema *giggle* incorrigible lot that we were...)

Anyhow, nice arse guy (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v460/tiggothy/screencaps/cap039.jpg) and Hot Rower Guy (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v460/tiggothy/screencaps/cap007.jpg) The one of the rower probably ain't the best of screencaps, but he's the guy standing up in the stern I believe (after 18 months, my brain's a bit rusty!)

Ooops, took me a while to post this, I got lost in Davy Jones' Locker at CB trying to remember why there's a Q in "RRWPWGOTIWQTMAOTAT"

Don't forget Cute Helmsman who informs Groves and Norrington the rudder's disabled. (I call him Stefan.)

[link] [parent] [reply]

*nods* Know who you mean. We called him Charles Smith (or to give him his full name, "Charles 'He's disabled the rudder chain, sir!' Smith". mmhmm. ver' cute *grin*

The guy's real name is Christian Martin, and there's a couple of photos of him in Greg Ellis' 'behind the scenes' pics on his website (gregellis.tv (http://www.gregellis.tv))

*bounce* I remember there being a debate about whether or not out cute helmsman was killed in the fight against the undead pirates - 'coz some of us were of the opinion that it was he who says "Lieutenant..." to draw Gillete's attention to something being wrong...

</POTC geek>

[link] [parent] [reply]

Well ... can his MIDDLE name be Stefan, then? Everyone else was calling him Russell Crowe Jr., but I prefer Stefan ...

I thought he was the one who warned Gilette on the Dauntless, as well. I hope Stefan didn't get killed *sniffle*.

[link] [parent] [reply]

Charles Stefan "He's disabled the rudder chain, sir" Smith. Good, strong name. Not named for his father though, I bet ;-)

And far more attractive than Russell Crowe, and with a much cuter accent as well :-p

...and yes, I also hope he didn't get killed... Hmm... I think I need to make an icon. Will have to do screencappage tomorrow :-)

I (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v460/tiggothy/icons/css3.jpg) made (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v460/tiggothy/icons/css4.jpg) some (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v460/tiggothy/icons/css2.jpg) icons (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v460/tiggothy/icons/css1.jpg)

No text, but I thought you might like to see ;-) If you have any suggestions for text to add, please post it in my journal (http://www.livejournal.com/users/tiggothy/37944.html) Cheers ;-)

Whoaaaa. That is indeed one nice arse.

Hee! I have that same argument all the time. It often starts out "I can grade AND watch at the same time!" Heh. Right. :P

Hee!

[link] [parent] [reply]

OMG I do the same thing! Hubby comes home to find it in the DVD player and says "you watched it AGAIN?" I could almost recite the entire movie by memory now but its so fun to watch.

Hee. I have under my belt The Week That Will Live In Infamy, wherein I was writing an AU and so I watched PotC twenty-two times in seven days. It was just on in the background whenever I wasn't showering or sleeping. I starting mumbling lines at work without even realizing I was doing it.

[link] [parent] [reply]

Well that is as good an excuse as any *grin* and I love your "Mr Bill" icon.

[link] [parent] [reply]

Why? You've seen it eighty million times! It lives in your head!

*g*

Sounds like me and Three Musketeers.

Nice to meet you, btw.

Hello :)

[link] [parent] [reply]

Yep. I know that one.

oo, now I wanna watch!!!!
...no...must go to Senior Class Picnic and Participate Willingly in Picnicky Goodness...

and bring lime-tinted foodstuffs!
okay. pirates later.

Ooooh, LIME. Hope it was good times!

[link] [parent] [reply]

I haven't watched the DVD much recently, but it's showed up on cable an average of 1-3 times a week for the past nine or ten months, so:

Hey look, Pirates. Again.

DVD's right there. I don't need to watch this.

Yeah, but it's on RIGHT NOW.

It started half an hour ago. The picture's cropped. The DVD is widescreen and I can watch it from the beginning. Which I will do later.

But it's research.

I...but...Fine. Now shut up.

Bwhahaha! Research *nod*

[link] [parent] [reply]

Oh yeah, that sounds familiar XD I also have this problem where I'm shopping, and see a DVD of PotC on special offer..

Eyes: *___* PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN! Oh god, I need to buy it!

Brain: You already have it on DVD. You don't need two copies of it.

Eyes: But it's so cheap!

Brain: No!

Hands: Too late! *grabs*

XD; Thankfully my parents always manage to wrestle it off ot me before I get to the checkouts.

lol
My usual reaction to seeing POTC cheap is "How dare they? If they're not prepared to pay full-price, they're not worthy!"

*giggle*

I am proud to say that I didn't buy a second copy of the DVD when the Lost Disc edition came out.

I waited until Christmas so my daddy would buy it FOR me :)

[link] [parent] [reply]

...whereas I just bought mine the first chance I got (when I went to the US having bought myself a multi-region player)...

...and, bringing it home, discovered that for some bizarre reason the covers of reg. 1 & reg. 2 are actually different (the fonts & stuff are all slightly different.. it's just weird...)

*bounce*

PS I think I've posted round here enough now *hides in a corner, sitting on her hands*

[link] [parent] [reply]

....;-; OK, I don't think we have that in the UK. What's new on it!?

[link] [parent] [reply]

Why? You've seen it eighty million times! It lives in your head!
You know, I really don't want to borrow your reason. Mine is just as bad.

*glomps you for the great giggle*
