We made a big deal out of the midnight showing for the last Pirates movie, and were a little more than slightly disappointed with the plot, but we did love the action. But we're hoping that this one is better, and this time we're going to work on getting the one friend who didn't dress up to dress up this time. Me, I've got a (homemade - yay sewing skills) red vest, black, ragged pants, a black, torn shirt, a red bandanna, a wooden sword that I made myself, and all sorts of other stuff.

Be sure to check out the link to the music video Pieces of Eight. It's a blast. These guys are so much fun, they do kids shows all the time, a ton are free. They also do one Hell of a grown up show. Comming up soon we have the Festival de Piratis and the Portland Pirate festival. Portland is freaky for pirates.
A local community theater used to be a porn theater. A close female friend of mine used to stage manage there and they would regularly get drunk guys knocking on the stage door late at night looking for the girls.

I haven't seen Spiderman 3, i have heard that its a big disapointment and im unsure if i should go and see it or just wait for it to come out on dvd and rent it...
I haven't seen it but my buddy told me it's a combination of a Chick Flick with confusing action sequences because they don't take enough time to develop the three villans he is battling.
Not only did the 'villans' have very little development time, the overall plot was rather dull and unexciting. When I go to see action movies I want to be on the edge of my seat in anticipation for what comes next not yawning and waiting for it to end. And they made Peter into a complete and pompous (pardon my french) ass in this one I was actually embarassed for the actor when he had to play those horrid scenes, it was truly un-parkerish.
So far of all the trilogy movies (LOTR in exception) that have been relased recently, it seems the third has been the most dissapointing. Hopefully Pirates of the Carribean will break that curse. (GO DAVY JONES!!!)
Oh and upon rereading this lovely hijacked thread I noticed the Eragon quip, that gave me a laugh. As a lover of consistency, I at least figured the movie would have attempted to retain some semblance of the plagiarized... oops?... book but alas, it did not. Yet somehow I feel no remorse (it did spawn a good eragon bashing party though). YAY FOR HOLLYWOOD!!!!

Back story is..... The a heck of a lot of fun. They're sort of a Portland phenomenon. A couple of the guys have ties to the Theatre community here, but mostly thier just really nice guys. They do a ton of free concerts, concerts in the parks, and a lot of school programs teaching kids about pirates. They also have a couple of really fun marketing gimmicks. If you're ever in Portland it won't be too awful long before you see a vehicle with a bumper sticker that reads, " Eat a Lime." which comes from their song "Scurvy". Or the one I have on my car, you've seen those European country stickers? the white oval with the black border? Cap'n Bogg sells them too, they just have YAR in the oval.
Interesting sidenote. Cap'n Bogg 'n Salty just won a lawsuit against Knotts Berry Farms. Apparently KBF simply stole their first album < word for word> and used it for a Pirate show at the amusement park, no rights, Royalties, permissions etc. I guess they were banking on Portlanders not getting out much. Well let's just say, "The crew of the Polliwog Don't take kindly to being pirated."
Well maybe not rich, but , for once they have the Moral High Ground. Which is a sentence that I think you'll hear even less often.
