Pirates, Be Ye Warned

Gyarr, ye scurvy swabs and so forth. Our no. 18 top link today is for the just-released trailer for a little movie called Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, and it has inspired quite the tizzy among bloggers. From the trailer we can deduce the presence of chills, spills, and, theoretically, thrills. British bombshell-cum-knockout Keira Knightly reprises her role as the hot Englishwoman who keeps getting kidnapped, and Orlando Bloom will go again as the less exciting, less cool male lead, because Keira can't fall in love with someone like Capt. Jack Sparrow. What would the censors say? Well, we know what bloggers are saying: "OMG Squeeeeee!! Pirates pirates pirates! Whee! This trailer has saved me from an otherwise grim and depressing day. I wish it didn't come out in July, though. March would be better, I think. Or sooner. I love Cap'n Jack and crew, and pirate movies are a must. Eee, I want it to be summer!" Given all the snow outside our window, that's not such a bad wish.
