Pirates of the Caribbean 4

Like many of you, I was excited to hear that there'd be a fourth Pirates of the Caribbean movie. But not nearly excited as I was to read the screenplay. Thankfully, it's just as witty as the last two movies, combining a respect for its prequels with a willingness to innovate and imagine. Now I can't get into plot details, but I can show you some of the amazing new one-liners that those crazy wordsmiths have worked into the narrative. Try to catch some of the subtle references to previous films in the series.


“The rum is gone!”


“’ello again, poppet.”


“It was sea turtles, cunt-cock!”


“Mate, I’m Captain Jack Sparrow…’s evil twin brother, Bob.”


“Today is the day you shall always remember as the day you almost didn’t nearly catch Captain Jack Sparrow!”

Wait a second, something's off. Something this subtle, this appropriate, could only have been written by the PotC writers themselves? That means...

YOU'RE REALLY JERRY BRUCKHEIMER, AREN'T YOU?!
