Back in '72, Jay was the first showrunner for the current version of "Price is Right" and produced a number of game shows via his own company ("Whew!", "Blackout", "Rodeo Drive"). Even then he was interested in pirates, swashbuckling, all that stuff, incorporating it into showcases on Price, and creating a cast of wacky villians for his highly regarded "Whew!". Jay's shows were always fun, even if they didn't have legs. Beattie and Elliott have pretty much followed his lead, but I think the lion's share of the creation of the flamboyant Jack Sparrow should go to Mr. Wolpert.<br /><br />WV: unesmsr: my current rack in one of my games of SCRABBLE.Dave Mackeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13454782108761662940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-77973643452485999482011-05-10T03:47:30.368-07:002011-05-10T03:47:30.368-07:00O man!!

One of the few surviving pirate articles (laws of the ship) states that a man who "meddles with a prudent woman" will be marooned or shot."<br /><br />However that rule might be more honored in the breach rather than the observance.<br /><br />To quote one contemporary account (Defoe) :<br /><br />".. so that when any fell into their Hands, as it chanced in the Onslow , they put a Centinel immediately over her to prevent ill Consequences from so dangerous an Instrument of Division and Quarrel; but then here lies the Roguery; they contend who shall be Centinel, which happens generally to one of the greatest Bullies, who, to secure the Lady's Virtue, will let none lye with her but himself."<br /><br />Khufi Khan, a historian of the time, described the action of pirates towards women who were on the ship 'Gang-i-Sawai' which was attacked by pirates: "...[the pirates] busied themselves stripping the men and killing them and dishonouring the women, both young and old. They then left the ship to go free but took with them most of the women. Several of the ladies threw themselves into the sea.."<br /><br />This seems to be a true account as one of the pirates (John Sparkes) freely admitted at his trial his "horrid barbarities .. though only on the bodies of the heathen"<br /><br />MacMac Harwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12130057839014374504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-74881443055990821382011-05-09T23:40:32.576-07:002011-05-09T23:40:32.576-07:00Love your blog Ken.

Both first ones were great films, big hits and offered a lot of potential for sequels. But the 2nd and 3rd installments in both series tried to do too much in too little time.<br />I hope they have a streamlined plot and more of the fun ghost/zombie-pirate stuff in the new POTC movie. Everybody who loves Monkey Island should know what I mean. Jack Sparrow is a great character and i want more of the rum.
