Sailing for Adventure on the Big Blue Wet Thing

[tealin]

I just subj introduced a former roommate, who is a diehard Pirates* fan, to Master & Commander. She was very polite and watched it all the way through.

I LOVE THAT MOVIE WOOOOOO!!!

And, you know, I've seen it at least fifty times ... and I still caught something new. There was about twenty seconds of footage when they're lowering Calamy's first command into the water that I swear I have never seen before. What will it be next time, I wonder?

*The movie that always makes me want to watch M&C – I see ten minutes of it, and I think, 'you know what's a really good movie ...'

I'm glad I haven't bought the Muppet Treaure Island DVD yet because I heard rumours of the 90s Muppet movies getting 'Special Editions." I'm holding out hope that they will abandon their sinful fullscreen ways and give it some nice letterboxing.

Pirates just isn't REAL! Look how tidy their ships are! Look how tidy their sailors are! And what, you can sail a whole ship with just TWO PEOPLE, one of whom is absolutely inexperienced in nautical ways?? Puh-leez! Oh man, I'm getting the movie lust again. Ngrh! It's just so good!!

I like Pirates, but it will never be MandC. Or Hornblower. Or even Muppet Treasure Island.

I know what you mean about movie lust. I'm in Halifax right now, over 1000 miles away from home, and extrememly glad I carted along my laptop so I could watch MandC and Hornblower. I both love and hate my geekery.

The "two people sailing a whole ship" was just so unreal :P . "Pirates" it's a funny movie to watch once, twice in a month, and watch it again some years later. But MnC always comes into mind while watching the battles ^^ there are many more things to watch there.
Are they really to make a special edition on "Muppet Treasure Island"? Wow! I haven't seen that movie for some time! Hope they release it in Spain too :)
