Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
March 31, 2011 – 10:38 pm
Newest movie looks like it might actually be pretty good.
It shares a title with a book I really loved, On Stranger Tides by Tim Powers, but it doesn’t seem like it shares anything else with the book except for the most basic of concepts and the character Blackbeard.
But it still looks like it might be better than the last two.
Have a look for yourself.

Again, posted this over at the video.amusedme.com site, but again worth a repost, and I think it fits into the geek/childhood retro category well enough to be worth a post here.
Totally immature and ridiculous, but the sense of incongruity I get from watching something so from my childhood and yet so different just makes this video hilarious.
