Fun Facts about real pirates and there hang outs
Barbados
Named for its native bearded figs by Portuguese sailors who stopped there during the Spanish colonization, Barbados is Portuguese for 'bearded.' Covered in low vegetation and weak, thin trees, Barbados lies low in the water, having no large mountains and only a small rise. [/glow]

Pirate facts....
Settled by the English in 1632, Antigua is a very important colony. It serves as a re-supply depot for vessels of the admiralty when in the Lesser Antilles. Antigua's center of population is the town of St. John, while nearby Barbuda is unsettled by Europeans. [/glow]

Pirates facts:
Cutlass/Hanger
In the 17th and 18th centuries the cutlass was favoured by all fighting men at sea. It's short, broad blade was the ideal weapon for hand to hand fighting on board ship - a longer sword would easily get tangled in the rigging. According to legend, buccaneers invented the cutlass. The long knives used by the original buccaneers to butcher meat for the boucan evolved into the famous short sword used by all seamen. Similar to the cutlass was the hanger, the landsman's equivalent to the cutlass. The hanger was devoloped from hunting swords and was the standard weapon of the infantryman (along with the musket). These swords weigh around 3 pounds and are about 2' to 3' in length.[/glow]

I saw it yesterday...and i liked it. my friends were quick to bust on pirates II (ask a ninja said it needed a bit more gore and a bit less verbinski) I suspect they might find it difficult to critisize this one. The effects were great the story was enguaging, a bit difficult to tell who is doubble-crossing whome but in general, it was a wild ride.

I saw it finally!
I did like it, but am upset at my friend for not warning me of the unexpected...
I'm not a BIG fan of 'bitter sweet' endings..or worse endings that arn't endings..(although this was more of a bitter sweet)
I'd rather see completely saw *Tristan and Isolde...Titantic..Romeo and Juliet sad*
or happy, than the in between thing myself.
I barely contained myself from screaming 'nooooooooooo' in the theatre and looking like a fool.
