The other night I was watching the The Pirates of the Caribbean Special Features disc. Side note: I find that I interchange the pronunciation between Care-i-be-an and Carrib-e-an. Am I the only one who does this? Anyway, the wardrobe section came on and I perked up, loving the old Victorian textures and pirate-y layers and belts and hats and whatnot. The best part came when the guy who plays Norrington (the stuffy, military commodore who Elizabeth totally uses and is kindof a bitch to) says in his delightfully British accent, "I remember the first day I came into the fittings and stuff and I saw a picture of Johnny with his bandana and his dreadlocks and I'm like, 'Oh Christ, I look like an...an ice cream! And these guys just look so cool." An ice cream?! Such an absurd way to describe yourself! I laughed out loud at this for like three minutes, then had to back up the video so I could hear the parts I missed because I was laughing so loud. Oh man, I really need to get a life.
Fun Pirate Fact 1: The tattered skeleton's clothes were made by throwing them in a big cement mixer with a bunch of bricks and flipping the on switch.
Fun Pirate Fact 2: The white stick thing in Jack Sparrow's hair is actually a reindeer bone. Unlike most of the guns and props in the movie, his pistol is not a replica. It is part of a pair made by an English chap in the 1700s.
