Thing is as frequently as we'd watched the first Pirates film, we hadn't watched the two follow up pirates films of that trilogy since they were released on DVD (nearly ten years ago for Dead Man's Chest). We decided to give them a revisit and I've got a whole blog about that experience coming up. But I did want to post this little moment because it made me chuckle.
I mean this was done as an homage, right? They knew they were borrowing from one of the greats, right? This isn't another case of Independence Day ripping something off and trying to pass it off as its own, right? Lets give them the benefit of the doubt.

ReplyDeleteLOL. Ok that put a whole new spin on it.
DeleteOddly similar and suspect I'd say. Dead Man's Chest is the only film from that franchise that I own. I really like the horror, Cthulhu-ish angle they get with it. But I can see why it would be a summer movie fave. I seem to remember it was released during the summer as well. Most of the time when that happens it seems to trigger my memory of it being applied to that season.
ReplyDeleteOn the contrary, sometimes when it's the dog days of summer, there's nothing better than putting on a chilly, icy film, with snow, and stuff to kind of cool off, at least mentally.
Yeah the Cthulhu/Kraken was pretty cool looking, as was the design for Davy Jones and his monster crew.
