elTee Posted August 28, 2002 Share Posted August 28, 2002 LucasTones has unveiled the latest LucasArticle - this one is on the Pirates of the Caribbean, and should be very informative to Monkey Island fans. There is audio and video to download if you wish, and lots of pictures. There are even two comparison pages where scenes from the ride are compared to scenes from the game.

scabb Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 By the way, the reason that comic-book-character related films are being made is not Spiderman - It's X-Men, remember? I know for a fact that The Incredible Hulk movie already had a trailer before Spiderman was released. And Batman's always been popular. Other than that, it's a very informative article, if a little speculative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elTee Posted August 29, 2002 Author Share Posted August 29, 2002 D'oh! You're correct, of course. And I should have put X2 in the list of new Comic Book movies. Ah well, the point remains. Speculation is the key to starting rumours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oystein Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 Well, I think the Pirates of the Caribbean movie surely will suck. It's a Jerry Bruckheimer production and he's like the worst producer ever. No actor or director can make it good with Bruckheimer as the producer. Hollywood sucks!

Ok, ok, maybe I was a bit harsh, but I still think Bruckheimer is a bad producer. I don't think he's ever produced something that you could call high-quality film-making. But maybe, and that's just a tiny maybe, he can get it right this time, although I seriously doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sultan12 Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 are you forgetting a little file called "American Gigolo"? And how about the brilliant, heartwarming, touching "Cat people"? And how could we forget the poignant, stirring, emotional, fiery "Flashdance"? I watch Flashdance every morning when I get up , just to get pumped!

Hellbeard Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 I like Bruckhimer movies! Black Hawk Down was nominated for best picture! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wossname Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 Did anyone see the TV show Action - about a movie producer. Peter Dragon always made me think of Jerry Bruckheimer. I don't know if he was the intended target... That was a great show, pity it didn't last. And Black Hawk Down sucked. It wasn't a movie, it was a long drawn out action sequence, like a theme park ride, which makes the Pirates of the Caribbean kind of make sense...

elTee Posted January 8, 2003 Author Share Posted January 8, 2003 I forgot to tell you all! I've dug up this relic of a post to tell you about it anyway: The official site for the up-coming Pirates of the Caribbean movie is here, and there's a trailer! Download the trailer here if the link on the main page fails you, like it did for me. The trailer is pretty much just some stock footage of the caribbean with a rather ropey looking (hopefully just an early version, the film isn't out for ages) island in the shape of a skull. The poster is cool though, and the music in the trailer is seriously good. I hope it is actually music from the movie, and not from something else, as often happens with trailers, especially such early ones. I doubt Alan Silvestri (Back to the Future) has composed much music yet, with so little actual footage, but this music in the trailer is cool. Anyway, hope you like it. I seem to be the only person interested in this movie, being as its the closest damn thing we're gonna get to a Monkey Island movie. And the cast kicks ass as well!

Other than that, it's a very informative article, if a little speculative. X-men Was the first of the new-generation movies. Marvel made a bunch of B movies such as Fantastic Four, the old Hulk, and some others I don't Know. They all did poorly. Then Marvel went bankrupt until they Made X-Men which brought them up from the gutter. New-Generation Movies- 1. X-Men 2. Spider-Man 3. Daredevil 4. Hulk 5. X-Men 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al-back from the BigWhoop Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 about those new generations movies... well, i ddnt like em as much. even with the special effects, the story was that same old... i dunno im just babling, throw a brick at me and i ll keep quiet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elTee Posted January 9, 2003 Author Share Posted January 9, 2003 The point of that, in case some of you are wondering (or have forgotten, or haven't read my article) is that the Pirates of the Caribbean movie could hopefully kick-start a whole load of new pirate movies. This might mean that at some point George Lucas dishes out the Monkey Island license to someone (Spielberg*, or some new-comer) in order to make him some more money. Of course, this would please us. *Spielberg is one of a select few people on the LucasArts list who get a copy of thier new games before they are released. That is why he went to LucasArts with the idea for The Dig, and so it is possible he's a Monkey Island fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien426 Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 I always liked those old adventury swashbuckling movies like Captain Horatio Hornblower and such. But after that so-so (at best!) modern movie Cutthroat Island and that horrid fantasy flick Dungeons & Dragons I had little faith that anyone (but Pete Jackson) can pull off a good pirate movie anymore. LOTR made me believe again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheriff Gringo Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 I liked the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, even if the whole thing looks dated and hokey these days. In other news, at EuroDisney, my friend threw a lollipop at a plastic goat which was part of the mid-ride scenery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
