Friday Night Art Show: You're Eating Poison by the Plateful!

That break in blogging yesterday? That was me catching my breath for this post. LOTS of cool art this week. So much so that I broke my rule about not snatching multiple images from a single post.

Ahoy there

It's been a while since we've talked about pirates and we've had an International Talk Like a Pirate Day since, so lots of pirate stuff to link to. Which means that I'll be doing this again tomorrow. Arr.

Pirate Movies



One of the nice things about Talk Like a Pirate Day is that people also like to talk about pirates. And make pirate lists. Like this one of the Top 10 Pirate Movies of All Time. I'm going to disagree with his (admittedly half-hearted) inclusion of Hook, but he certainly got Number One right. No Treasure Island, though? That's just wrong. I'm gonna have to make my own list.

Pirates of the Caribbean 4

I know everyone knows about this already, but I can't very well not mention it, no matter how late I'm getting to it. Johnny Depp has signed up for another Pirates of the Caribbean movie. And I'm hearing rumors that they've got Geoffrey Rush as well.

It's strange, but shortly before this news, I was reading about how Keira Knightley isn't interested in any more Pirates films. I thought that was kind of a stupid story at the time. Sort of like asking Carrie Fisher if she's up for another Star Wars film. What's she going to say? "Oh, yes, I'd love to be in this hypothetical movie that'll likely never get made."

Now, the Keira story doesn't seem as stupid anymore. Which makes me sad, because as cool as Jack is, Elizabeth was my favorite part of those films.

Blackbeard movie

Pirates 4 isn't the only new pirate flick planned. One of the guys behind Men in Black is planning a biography of Edward Teach's life.

Pirate Mirror

Because she's cool and because it's Halloween, my friend Kelly Sue has a pirate mirror.

Pirate Books



Yet another Talk Like a Pirate Day list. This time it's Scholastic with a list of pirate books they publish, including Airborn, which has sky pirates.

Pirat Tales



Wanna know how Dan Taylor's Pirat Tales comic is? It's really darn good.

Awesome List: Indy, Kong, dinosaurs, a hula girl, and more

Land of Kong

Man, I wish this place was still open.



War Eagles story can finally be told

Robert Hood has the history of Merian C. Cooper's War Eagles concept (essentially giant eagles, dinosaurs, vikings, Nazis, and zeppelins in an aerial fight over NY). There've been a couple of movies planned and a comic series, but it looks like the first medium the story will be told in will be novelization.

Pterodactyl Hunt




As Palaeoblog says, "If only..."

Brad Pitt: Treasure Hunter?

He's apparently interested in making a movie about a guy searching for a lost Amazon city. Sounds pretty cool to me.

Indiana Jones novels



Bookgasm's got the skinny on the reissues of some Indiana Jones novels.

Indy YTMND

Indy can't stop the rock.

Indy finds Waldo.

Hula Girl



Lilo & Stitch's Chris Anders is designing The Perfect Dashboard Hula Girl.

Dinosaurs Attack!

Via Giant Monsters Attack:

Normally, I consider dinosaurs to be outside of the realm of giant monsters since they’re not technically “monsters”, but just really big, extinct animals- however, the content and paleontological inaccuracy of the creatures depicted in the series is much more akin to a rampaging daikaiju movie than something you’d ever come across on the Discovery Channel.

Indiana Jones makes everything better, part one



Even M&Ms. There's a fun temple-exploration game in there, so you should check out the site.

Adventureblog Theater: Sexy Sci Fi

Space: 1899

I'd forgotten how cheesy that show was. And look! It's available on Netflix!

(Oh, yeah, I guess I should also mention that re-mixing this into a silent movie is kind of clever, but honestly I was too transfixed by the space gorilla.)

Zeppelin vs. Pterodactyls

Cool mash-up of old serials to create a tribute to Hammer's unmade film.

Doctor Who Season Four

Cue me squealing like a three-year-old girl in 4, 3, 2, 1...
