ceebeegeeI've been telling the cast they really should watch The Pirate Movie (and we're planning a viewing party! Thanks to Chris, I own the DVD :) I checked out the imdb entry--you have to love a message board posting whose subject reads ARE YOU PEOPLE HIGH??? (Clearly I'm not the only fan!) I also checked out the "external reviews" section and found this hilarious entry on the site cinemademerde.com.
In the dream we’re back in the 1880s and Kristy is the rich daughter of the major general. The pirates lurk just offshore, a dancin’ and a singin’ like pirates apparently do. This movie was shot at the time, 1982, where if you needed pirates for your movie you just put a flyer up at the local gym, which turns out to yield unexpected benefits for viewers of my persuasion. Yes, the pirates are all muscle guys with mustaches and developed arms and chests, wearing shirts open to their waists, if they wear a shirt at all. This led to a great deal of pause-button use on my DVD remote, all of which was amply rewarded. This is all accompanied by a mildly homo vibe [pirates, hello], and lots of attention to male crotches, noticeable in the bejeweled codpiece of the pirate king.
Ah, the Pirate King's codpiece. I'm getting all happy just thinking about that silliness again. And Fredric's diaper/loincloth...
If you're treadin' water and romance is on the line
Don't you know you have to swallow
Something' more than water
It's your pride!
Ah ha, a-huff and puff
Just to keep love goin'
Ah ha, I've had enough
Of pumpin' and a-blowin'...
