You Mean It Counts Now?

Some­one for­got to tell the FRS that it wasn’t spring train­ing any­more. They lost big time to the KC Roy­als today on open­ing day. I was lis­ten­ing to the game on the net until I stum­bled onto the ESPN broad­cast. Kind of wish I hadn’t. Plus the Yan­kees won mean­ing we are already a game back…

The only thing that saved the evening was my after game chan­nel surf dis­cov­ered TDPM on USA Net­work again. I came in almost exactly in the same spot as last night too.

Jack Spar­row: I really rather hope we were past all this.
Bar­bossa: Jack… Jack! Did you not notice? That be the same island we made you the gov­er­nor of on our last lit­tle trip.
Jack Spar­row: I did notice.
Bar­bossa: Per­haps, you’ll con­jure up another mirac­u­lous escape, but I doubt it. Off you go.
Jack Spar­row: The last time you left me a pis­tol with one shot.
Bar­bossa: By the pow­ers, you’re right. Where be Jack’s pis­tol? Bring it for­ward.
Jack Spar­row: See­ing as there’s two of us, a gen­tle­man would give us a pair of pis­tols.
Bar­bossa: It’ll be one pis­tol as before, and you can be the gen­tle­man and shoot the lady; and starve to death yourself.

This time I watched it all the way to the end and when I did I noticed that they added a lit­tle bit there to per­haps explain the very end of movie #2. The orig­i­nal movie ends with Jack at the helm of the Black Pearl, tonight it cut back to the cave and showed the mon­key (Jack) swim­ming past the apple Bar­bossa drops when he dies. It hops up on the Aztec trea­sure chest and picks up a piece of gold, thereby turn­ing into a skele­ton. He hisses at the cam­era as we fade to black. I guess we are to assume that the mon­key then puts the coin in Cap­tain Barbossa’s pocket and that is how he shows up in the end of Dead Man’s Chest. Did we need this to explain his res­ur­rec­tion? I was per­fectly happy to believe that Tia Dalma had brought him back to “life” by using some voodoo magic.
