… opens in 8 days. I don’t usually go in for Disney movies but this one has me totally hooked. I’m encouraged by the PG-13 rating (the first Disney has ever had, apparently). Johnny Depp and his gold teeth and eyeliner just kill me every time. And I can’t wait to see Geoffrey Rush in action. Oh and Orlando? Yeah… don’t mind pics of him in a pirate shirt. Am I alone in my Pirate antici pation? ---

I’ve been excited about this ever since it was first announced. I mean, dude, hot men in pirate costumes? How can it get any better than this? ---

Oh and Orlando? Yeah… don’t mind pics of him in a pirate shirt. I don’t mind it so much I have one as my desktop wallpaper. The Jr Rangers and I are very much looking forward to this one. ---

I can’t believe it took a studio this long to figure out making a good old fashioned pirate movie would be a very good idea. I hope it’s half as good as I want it to be. ---

Woohoo! Swashbuckling, Johnny Depp, and Orlando Bloom? There is no bad here. Me, I’m just hoping for lots of nude scenes. Maybe they find a secluded lagoon to bathe in? And then exchange sweaty, piratical backrubs? Although, given the PG-13 rating, I probably shouldn’t get my hopes up… [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pirates-of-the-caribbean-yarrrr/185673.md?page=2)
