Arrrr, matey!

For any of you Pirate fans, if you missed it, National Geographic Channel did an EXCELLENT special on Edward Teach last night called:

Blackbeard: Terror at Sea.

As a pirate lover, I reccomend it. It was well filmed and informative!

I mean this as a serious question. What did you think of the Pirates of the Carribean movie (the recent one)?

 

[Cryozombie]

It was... so so.

Entertaining, sure. Accurate? No. The costumes were especailly off, which always stuck out it my head.

Overall I enjoyed it, as far as Hollywood films go, tho. The sequal will be interesting.

Any recommendations for good books about pirates or other videos?

 

[Cryozombie]

Historical or Entertainment?

This is pretty good:

http://www.marcusrediker.com/Books/Villains/Villains_home_blank.htm

Villains of All Nations explores the "Golden Age" of Atlantic piracy and the infamous generation whose images underlie our modern, romanticized view of pirates. Award-winning historian Marcus Rediker focuses on the high seas drama of the years 1716-1726, which featured the dreaded black flag, the Jolly Roger; swashbuckling figures such as Edward Teach, better known as Blackbeard; and the unnamed pegleg who was likely Robert Louis Stevenson's model for Long John Silver in Treasure Island.

I enjoyed it a lot.

Also, check out that Nat.Geo special I started this thread on. It was good too.

Rumor has it Keith Richards may make a camo appearance as Captain Jack's dad! That would be a trip!
