SeaTurtle Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 The Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End trailer has been released. I just thought someone might be interested.
nioe Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Is it still that far away? For good clean rollocking fun is there any better movies then Pirates? Trailer looks good.
Joshi Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Did I see a whirlpool? DID I SEE A FUCKING WHIRLPOOL?! Oh now it's on.
SeaTurtle Posted March 22, 2007 Author Posted March 22, 2007 I don't know why you're getting so worked up about it. It's not like they find a tribe of cannibals, or go to see a voodoo woman living in a swamp. Or find out that the beautiful, yet fiesty, female lead has been kidnapped by a crew of undead pirates. Nope, nothing like that at all...
Joshi Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 I could forgive the similarities with the first film, after all, they've both based off the same damn ride, the second film was a little annoying, but I suppose it all comes down to the same thing, but this? If Will wakes up at the end and find out it was all a dream, i'll be burning down the cinema.
Kjølen Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 "Will, stop dozing off and back to welding those handles like I told you!"
Joshi Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 "Will, stop dozing off and back to welding those handles like I told you!" "I'm a Pirate!" "Maybe later Honey, but right now Mommy's gotta go yell at Daddy about his alimony payments."
Fealiks Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 If these movies came out 10 years ago when Monkey Island was (more) popular, they would be a joke.
Joshi Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 When were they ever widely popular? Amongst gamers, they were, but then gamers didn't have the numbers they did now, MI simply wasn't well known enough at the time and has only in recent years become a cult classic. Had this game been released ten years ago (which would be during the time of COMI) only the people who'd played the originals would have found similarities and COMI would have been seen as a rip off of POTC.
SeaTurtle Posted April 16, 2007 Author Posted April 16, 2007 Very true. If a movie of Monkey Island was ever made (which is highly unlikely anyway) it would be seen as a complete rip off of POTC, even though the games were released over ten years before Curse of the Black Pearl was. Anyway here's a nice new clip for you: Clickety And another: Clickety again Lets see how many more MI similarities we can spot and complain about, eh?
Joshi Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 "Johnny, we want to stick you into a cannon and vault you out to sea, you okay with that?" Gah! Have they stolen enough?!
SeaTurtle Posted April 16, 2007 Author Posted April 16, 2007 I wonder if Johnny's played Monkey Island! Oooooohhh *slips into dreamy fangirl state*
Fealiks Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 *gasp* wow yeah, 1991 isn't closer to 10 years ago than 2000 is any more, is it? And I did say more popular, but yeah, I suppose you have made valid points. And on another note, it annoys me how everyone involved is so up this movie's arse, "oh yes, it's such an original movie" It isn't an original movie, it's STOLEN! You bastards!
Joshi Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 Not really stolen (I doubt they'd set out to make as many similarities with the games as possible), but then not really original either. There are hundreds of books out there that touch on the subjects used in these movies.
Joshi Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 If challenged enough they may use the word "homage"...
Joshi Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 I never said they'd be right. But they'd be kinda safe with it. People "pay homage" all the time. The line between homage and stealing is very blurry.
Fealiks Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 I hope they don't say that. It would be nice for a Monkey Island reference, though. I would prefer it if they said "we are paying an homage to Monkey Island in this scene" rather than "Oooh, I love this scene! ...Monkey who?"
Joshi Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 All I want is for Sparrow to say "That's the second biggest _____ I've ever seen!".
SeaTurtle Posted April 20, 2007 Author Posted April 20, 2007 That would be great. Or if he said "Look, behind you! A three-headed monkey!" to aid some sort of getaway
Joshi Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 Too obvious, I'd prefer the second biggest thing only because that noun could be anything.
SeaTurtle Posted April 20, 2007 Author Posted April 20, 2007 True. They could use "undead monkey" instead though, couldn't they? Since they already have one.
Joshi Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 Their undead monkey isn't very big though. It needs to be something that's fairly large in size that would cause jack to say something like that.
