Comments on pirates made me go look for some clips. Errol Flynn is one of the first, and best, pirates, Captain Blood:
He talks more like a gentleman than our traditional image of a pirate, the way that people imagine pirates talk comes mostly from the portrayal of Long John Silver by Robert Newton in the 1955 version:
He even had a parrot on his shoulder. But perhaps the most amusing version of Long John was by Tim Curry:
oh I'm bummed, I miss official talk like a pirate day!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the muppets!
ReplyDeleteThe muppets Treasure Island was by far the best Muppet Movie. Kermie as a swashbuckling ship's captain sure did it for me. And lets face it, Tim Curry is such a versatile actor!
ReplyDeleteGo Green! :-)
Muppet Treasure Island is one of my ALL time favorite movies!
