Better heed Al Gore's advice. You definitely don't want to be taking your kids to Disney World on Gay Day.

Al Gore invented Pirates of the Caribbean

As usual, I disagree entirely with "Al Gore." "Pirates" is the best movie out this summer.

...Really bad eggs...

FReepers are the best typists in the world....

That is EXACTLY what happened in The Crimson Pirate.

Obviously a clever allusion to "The Crimson Pirate."

Better than Seabiscuit? BTW, a documentary about the REAL Seabiscuit is on PBS tonight.

Excellent "typing", PJ !

[My2Cents]

Haven't seen Seabiscuit yet, so I'll grant you that.

Funny "review" ping!!

Pirates in general, have been so romaticised that its ridiculous. These were NOT nice people, they were NOT jolly and just kind of rough-around-the-edges; robbing you with a twinkle in their eye and sending you on your way. They were murderous thugs.

I'm not referring as much to the current movie as to the Hollywood manufactured image that they seem to enjoy these days.

Did you ever see the earlier Pirates of the Carribean with Michael Caine?

I'm sure the casting was right out of DNC headquarters.
Never saw such a bunch of freaks since I got out of the slum business.

Big Gay Al loves Disney.

It's SUPER!

This routine repeated itself six or seven times . . . or was it eleven or twelve times? I don't remember since I slept through most of that Small World nightmare. Karenna was laughing her ass off at Daddy's predicament of being trapped on the Small World ride but the attendant finally displayed some mercy by waking me on time after a long while so I could escape that ride. He must have figured that his job would be at risk if Future President Al Gore starved to death because he never could wake up in time to get off the Small World.

You, PJ, are an evil man. You have summoned up terrors that you know not of. I may sue you for emotional distress.

I once was on a commercial shoot for D-land. I had to ride the Small World ride SEVENTEEN FRICKIN' TIMES in a ROW!!!

And people wonder why I don't believe in buying the World a Coke and teaching it to sing. Bomb the little singing children. Bomb them now, before it's too late.

[Political Junkie Too]

Basing a movie on a Disneyland ride sounds like a dopey idea. It would have definitely been stupid if the ride in question was the one with all those kiddie puppets singing "It's A Small World After All."

I guess the writer missed the Disney movie The Country Bears.

I just wanted to put Johnny Depp in a lockbox and take him home with me (but Tipper would have whupped my A$$ bigtime!)

[My2Cents]

Which one? The one with Michael Caine, or the latest one?

You must have that "Small World" song hardwired into your brain.

I stand as proof that you don't need to do drugs to have acid flashbacks.

Guess we can blame Howard Pyle for starting the whole thing. Although HIS pirates look pretty villainous . . .
