Did anybody else see this and hear Liam Neeson say in a dead serious voice,

Release the blue balls!

Wrong movie but they both had a kraken.

“We dropped different numbers of balls at different rates, different heights. We had a ramp. The ramps were at different angles, trying to get the most out of the balls as they hit the actors. After doing the tests, we figured out 35 feet above the deck of the ship was the height we needed our nets. We had these three big nets that held almost 80,000 per net. The balls dropped 35 feet into ramps that projected them towards the stunt guys. It just knocked them over. It was pretty spectacular.”

-Mark Hawker, SFX Coordinator for Pirates of the Caribbean

“It’s amazing to see a bunch of 40 and 50-year-olds turn into three-year-olds all of a sudden. Everybody had to pick up blue balls, hit the other guy in the head. It was like, ’Is it time for the parents to come pick up the kids?’”

-George Marshall Ruge, Stunt Coordinator for Pirates of the Caribbean

Jack Rackham would stab someone, get asked by said someone if they could keep the sword, and just go 'This might as well happen'.

on the topic of black sails let it be known I think the classic "oh the potc cast wouldn't survive a day in black sails" bit is so funny because like yeah absolutely but like do you reckon the fine homosexuals from black sails would do all that hot in potc like girl there's curses

[beemovieerotica]

pirates of the caribbean really introduced an eldritch octopus man who kills indiscriminately and torments the dead as their poster villain and then you watch the movies and it's like, "oh no, actually the worst villain in this series is a small white british man who functions as the herald of capitalism" and that was very very brave of them

"Orlando Bloom signed to the movie the day before he showed up to shoot this. He came right in and just got the character. He had about ten minutes to work on the stuff with the sword. The flip and everything like that... But just how well he plays this scene is just amazing. Everything about the character you need to know comes across here."

You will listen to me. Listen! The Brethren will still be looking here, to us, to the Black Pearl to lead. And what will they see? Frightened bilge rats aboard a derelict ship? No. No, they will see free men! And freedom! And what the enemy will see is the flash of our cannons. They will hear the ring of our swords, and they will know what we can do! By the sweat of our brows, and the strength of our backs…and the courage of our hearts! Gentlemen! Hoist the colors.
