JIM JIM JIMMY JIM, JIM JIM JIM!


I would like to take this day to express* my deepest dissatisfaction with the internet for it not having any good screencaps of Billy Connolly as Capt Billy Bones.

*spelled this 'espresed' this morning... that's the coffee talking.

I love that movie! And his character in particular! "Jim Jimmy Jim" (etc.) reminds me of an admittedly inferior pirate movie - about a year before "Treasure Planet" was released, but was largely finished, Jim was this sullen rebelious teen, headed to juvenile hall or worse (later Eisner insisted he was annoying and unlikeable, and needed to be reanimated in a few scenes to have his attitude slightly adjusted - you be the judge if he was right) - I always thought it was hilarious that Silver would call him "Jimbo" - shouldn't that have just driven him crazy? "C'mere, Jimbo, me little Jimbo" "It's JIM! Just JIM, ok?!""Oh, whatever you say, Jimbo!"

... That would have added a lot to the character(s) ...

Though all the squabbling amongst characters and plotlines for supremacy just left the field clear for Doppler to take over. :D

Speak to someone, they need to release it widescreen, not full frame.

They did. (http://www.amazon.com/Muppet-Treasure-Island-Kermits-50th-Anniversary-/dp/B000ATQYTC/sr=8-1/qid=1158790343/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-3375397-1643847?ie=UTF8&s=dvd)

Scroll down to the special features.

So . . . .

Why haven't I received it yet?

Because my memory is as porous as a leaky longboat?

I could ask the same question; I believe it was on my Christmas wishlist last year.... [ahemahemahem]

Tell you what, give me back one or more of your presents from last year, I'll give you the movie, and then I'll borrow it. EVERYBODY WINS!

What??? Are you serious? Who does that (releases ONLY a full-frame dvd of a film) anymore? Good grief...

Just watched it last night and a very familiar logo with a castle appears at the beginning of the flick.
