This Friday will see the mass opening of the new Pirates of the “Caribbean” movie. The return of the great Captain Jack Sparrow is sure to have movie goers all a flutter and bodice stores low on stock for months to come. Everyone will be Pirate crazy.... all except me.
I don’t like Pirates... well truth be told, I did like the first PotC, but the next two....not so much. I know, I know “Who the Frak cares what you think Clockwinder” the poor PotC fans are chanting and I must confess that I seldom care what I think about something as well, so please regard this poor entry as a simple IMHO sort of thing.
I certainly have nothing against women in bodices and when I become king we will certainly see more of that, and I think Johnny Depp is a brilliant actor so why did (and in fact do) hate these movies so much?
I don’t know... all I can say is I never even made it all the way through 2 and 3 in one sitting... I just have to get up and leave. There is not one thing that I can put my finger on...its like fruit cake.... you don’t know why but you hate it.
So fear not fans of the series, as you stand in line this weekend I will not be in front of you nor behind you to enjoy this new cinematic Masterpiece. I do hope the fans enjoy it and ....of course, to the ladies i say..... Buy and wear more bodices.

I support your efforts at kingship on that point alone.
I feel the same way about pirates in general. I mean, I enjoyed the PoC movies because I didn't expect a hell of a lot out of them to begin with, but pirates for the most part don't interest me. I don't like ninjas either, so it makes the whole ninjas versus pirates thing a bit irrelevant.
Same thing with Steampunk, honestly. My favorite quote about steampunk came from Something Awful: "Ahhhh, steampunk. All the techno-fetishism of cyberpunk without the veneer of relevance." I just don't get the fetishization of the Victorian era. To each their own.
