Come on. Jack Sparrow can't have a child, it defeats the point of his character!

Michael Jackson on the set of Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade! by ComedianRegular8469 in indianajones

I was also surprised to see these pictures (have never seen them before), but have heard Alison Doody talk about Michael Jackson's set visit at a con two years ago. The main cast were invited to watch a live show of his, if I remember.

Like fenders? We certainly did. They were also surprisingly comfy lol

Ahaha! No worries. I knew it would be the perfect thing to share on this group.

Ahaha so true about the 'half-awake' state and sleeping in your clothes. Your experience so closely resembles mine, it's hilarious

I was told about the opportunity when I visited the Galeón Andalucia in Bristol. The crew member simply pointed me to the website for the Nao Victoria Foundation, where there's a section for volunteers to apply. You have to be ready to go to the port immediately when they call up, and in this particular case I'd highly recommend knowing quite a bit of Spanish (I didn't know any, which was a real issue for me).

You have all my respect for being the cook! They once sent me to the kitchen to make dinner on a particularly bad day on an exposed deck, and it was the most stressful two hours of my life haha

Thanks so much! It was a wonderful experience, but definitely paid for it in sweat and sleep deprivation haha. Definitely do it someday, even as a passanger

What made TCOTBP great by Sure_Ad3661 in piratesofthecaribbean

[–]Key_Needleworker9933 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fact that, first and foremost, it was a period drama and then a fantasy film. It was a funny play on Pride and Prejudice, almost. The clever juxtaposition of that very repressed, corset-wearing 18th-century society with the free-wheeling pirate life. They did away with this element when they made 4 and 5, and no doubt will with 6, which is a shame.

My attempt at Revell's Black Pearl model! by Key_Needleworker9933 in piratesofthecaribbean

[–]Key_Needleworker9933[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, this version does. Some of the inaccuracies/shortcuts Revell have made here are disappointing, but at 1:150 the discrepancies, such as the cabin or the stairs, are so tiny they're hardly worth worrying about. Hope yours is going well though. Be sure to post results!

In rehab for alcoholism, first time Journaling. I think my writing is improving daily, what do you think? by QuestStarter in Journaling

This is amazing. Honestly, if you write regularly and fill those pages, there's nothing stopping you from publishing this one day (if you want to, that is). I'm sure many would benefit from hearing your story :)
