Talkie Tuesday: Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man's Chest

 

"Do you fear death?" 

Hello everyone!

Hot on the heels of last week's explosive introduction into our newest obsession (or, old-newest, considering these movies are all going for their two decade mark), it's time to have a look at just what happens when big corporations start meddling in little townships.

Oh yeah, that's basically all it's about in this one, really.

Well, that and a vast expansion of the world that suddenly becomes much, much bigger and grander than what we previously imagined.

Pirates of the Caribbean sail on the high seas once more, but this time they need to be wary of multiple things at once.

Betrayal abounds, and people seem to fall in lust left, right and center, and by GOODNESS but the sanest people you'd think should know what they're doing are actually the biggest idiots at the same time.

So without further ado, let's make sure we don't end up in bone cages.

Dead Man's Chest is a-thumpin', and the Locker awaits!

Talkie Tuesday: Pirates of the Caribbean The Curse of the Black Pearl

 

"Begun by blood - by blood undone."

 

Hello everyone!

 

So a while ago - and this was REALLY a while ago lol - I kind of started my reviews into this particular franchise but never got round to finishing the entire thing.

 

Why?

 

No one knows. It's a mystery!

 

Anyway, this year during vacation I decided I was going to have a little watch party and refresh my memory about all this stuff, and while I didn't get to finish with the last movie quite yet (because I ran out of time and real life is unfortunately a thing) I DO plan on going through number five again as soon as humanly possible.

 

Until then, however, I can probably work on my collection right here on this blog.

 

Because not only do I NOT have the entire thing, I only have numbers three and five and the others are nowhere to be seen.

 

So without further ado, let's start at the very beginning which, as the song goes, is a very good place to start. Rum, ahoy! The Curse of the Black Pearl needs explaining.

 

Game of Thrones: The Queen's Justice

"The Great War is here."

Hello everyone!

Let me first tell you that I feel for the poor chicken which usually ends up in the cooking pot. I'm about the same right now and it's not even that late yet, but just sitting still I feel like I'm about to melt into a puddle on the floor. 

Summer has DEFINITELY got us in its grip, and will still for the next two weeks or so they say, so I desperately need some winter to cool off.

That pun was totally intended.

Anyway, after watching this latest episode of Un Passo Dal Cielo yesterday, I sat down to go through Game of Thrones as well, because ... well, because I couldn't resist, especially with that epic meeting in the works.

Let's move into The Queen's Justice, shall we?

Talkie Tuesday: Pirates of the Caribbean Salazar's Revenge

"Dead men tell no tales."

Hello everyone!

I'm excited for this blog post. Can you tell? I haven't been this excited about a post since Beauty and the Beast, and prior to that not for a while. Normally, I like whatever it is I'm typing about - obviously or I wouldn't be writing about it in the first place - but some stuff does get my attention a lot more than others. 

Like, for instance, Pirates of the Caribbean.

I haven't been in the Pirates' mood in a while, certainly not for a bit before AXN decided to put the first four movies of the franchise into its regular programming, which then meant that, every time you tuned in to that channel, one of them was playing at some point or other.

I'm not complaining.

I also did a blog post about At World's End a while ago, and I'll link that one at the bottom.

But last week was my birthday, and to treat myself, I (and my girl friends) went to see the fifth installment of the series, Dead Men Tell No Tales, or as it's alternately known, Salazar's Revenge.

Talkie Tuesday: Pirates of the Caribbean At World's End

"Hoist the colours!"

Hello everyone!

Or should I say arrrrr? 

These past two weekends, AXN decided to premiere Pirates of the Caribbean, introducing the first four movies into its regular program, which delighted me to no end because, one, these movies are amazing, and two, you can never, and I mean never, have enough of Captain Jack Sparrow.

Now to be frank, me and Johnny don't really go well together. I admire him for certain of his roles - but definitely not all - and I will admit I can see the appeal he has for women.

Sadly, not for me.

That being said, however, I thoroughly enjoy his portrayal of Jack, and without the iconic character these movies would certainly not be as successful as they are today. And while it's been on choppy seas since the first trilogy, Jack saved the day and prevented the subsequent movie from being a complete disaster, despite the fact that there were very few original characters who returned for the telling.

And as I'm definitely in the pirate vein just before Easter, and also because this year marks its tenth anniversary, I figured to myself: whyever not? Why shouldn't I do a blog post about the third (and at the time final) Pirates movie, At World's End?
