Pirates of the Caribbean 4 - Coming in 2011

I left the theatre a little angry they had managed to take something that had started out really cool and make it into an utter pile of crap.

They should just stop making these.

I never even finshed watching #3. A #4.... for the money only I guess.

*restrains himself from yelling "WELL, DUH!!!" in megamania's face*

It's not like the whole Disney-based film franchise began as an indie short film. I don't need to be in Cali or Florida to see that Disney parks are milking it for all it's worth.

What's next? Accusing WotC of making money off of D&D with a new edition?

I don't care if they're doing it for profit or donate the entire (100%) ticket sales toward the Make-A-Wish Foundation. If they want my money, they better make it a good film. Period.

I wonder if Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland will add fuel to an American McGee's Alice adaptation, or will be the final nail in the coffin.

I hope it is it's coffin nail. Having 2 'Alice in Wonderland' movies within 5 years is stupid even if one of them was a not dark revisioning on the world.

It may be stupid but it's legal to make more. (AiWL is PD.)

hey! Who let George Lucas in here? This is our forum!

The Auld Grump, razzen frazzen prequels... grumble, grumble, grumble....

Johnny Depp signed up for the next one for one simple reason -- he wants the money so that he and Terry Gilliam can get a second shot at making their Don Quixote movie.

That sound like it could be fun. Depp's a decent character actor I guess, but then I only notice the quality of acting when it's so execrably bad that Ebert would want to grow another arm so he could give it three thumbs down.

However, I can't see how watching a senile old Spaniard on a spavined old horse tilting at windmills could be less than entertaining.

Heh.

Lose the Turners and it could be a good movie.

I hope they go for broke and do "Pirates 4: On Stranger Tides" - Jack *is* apparently looking for the Fountain of Youth, after all.

Meh. I'd rather have a Pirates of the Carribean prequel myself.

If not, Johnny Depp in the The Pirates of Penzance would probably be more entertaining.

Both would be cool, but I fear how today's Hollywood Producers would ruin them.
