Been thinking you’d like to see the third installment of Disney’s ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ series? Don’t you really want to see “World’s End” with your fellow pirates? Of course you do! That way you can keep an eye on them! (Your good one of course) Jack up tight and meet us at the Regal Cinemas Hollywood 24, just north of Atlanta on I-85 on Thursday the 24th for the Midnight showing. I’d suggest you buy your tickets ahead of time in case those damned Ninjers try to crash our parrrrty. Please, turn your rPhones off during the film or we’ll make you clean up the restroom after “Pissy” Jim McBlister. Plankin’s too good for those what talk during a magic lantern show!

Seeing as how many of you belong to that faithful group of 300 geeks what turn out for every sci-fi/fantasy movie ever to come down the pike, I expect to see you there. I even be thinking of meeting up somewhere beforehand… just haven’t decided where that might be yet…. [UPDATE] We now have a place to meet…. Continue Reading

I was flipping through my mail this morning, checking out a catalog from outdoor equipment dealer backcountry.com, when my eye fell on an advertisement for a pair of sandals. The thing that caught my eye was an inset photo of the bottom of the sandal with a small pile of bottlecaps arrayed beneath it. “By frisky dingo,” I swore under my breath,”it almost looks as if they’ve built a bottle opener into the bottom of that there sandal, matey.” But wait, it only gets BETTER.

Well a lot of people (and by “people” I mean pirates (and by “pirates” I mean the old drunk beggar that sleeps under the pier beside my ship)) have been asking me “Captain Drew, what did you think o’ the new Pirates movie?” to which I’ve been replying “Please, old man, stand downwind when you address me!” and then, later, “Well, I think it be right smart, I do. I especially like the pictures of the girls from the Pub Sing and…” at which point those people(pirates(beggar)) reply “No, no, I don’t mean your sad little internot movies, I mean the new pirate movie from Disney, the one starring Johnny Depp.” Oh. That movie.
