What do you want to happen with the Black Pearl Letters?

Actually, I want to start with a picture that Quartermaster sent me this morning:

                                         Yep, says everything about me...



But, aside from that, I was going through my iPad and heres some pictures I fell like sharing:

Well, I think it's legit! Not like I ship it or anything, that would be weird! But it's funny.

Then there's this one ;)

Because my main job for The Black Pearl Letters is upkeep of the site, what would you like to see? Movie reviews? Fan videos? Guest posts? We are going to continue our podcast, but I'm the only one with a Skype, so we all have to be together to record. Also, we're going to have our first fan art/fanfic contest thing coming up within the next few months, so be aware! our theme will just be POtC, nothing fancy. We could have a Facebook page, I guess. I dont know, sorry, just throwing out random options. Just comment with what ever you would like to see on the site and the BPL crew will work on it!

Shaak Ti :)

Amazing deleted scene!

This is pretty much my favorite deleted scene in POTC!   WHY DID THE STUPID WRITERS (they're not stupid, they're ingenious) EVER DELETE IT!!!!  It's so epic! It gets a little more into Jack Sparrow's character I think, and it shows a sort of friendly side of him for minute there...sigh...they could have easily kept it in by simply cutting out one of the Will/Liz scenes (way too many of those.)

Humiliations??

Hello friends and followers of The Black Pearl Letters!

    I, Mysticalshadow, have been searching the web for Pirates of the Caribbean randomness, and while searching photo's of Jack Sparrow being awesome, I came upon some pictures that were...not so awesome. Trying to make Jack Sparrow into a cute cartoon character is just humiliating. Please understand I have nothing against cartoon drawings or anime, but to draw Jack Sparrow as a cute cartoon character?? Alright, lets get something staraight here! JACK SPARROW IS NOT A ADORABLE LITTLE PUPPY DOG FACED BABY OR SOMETHING! He's a pirate that does epic things that a little baby would definitely not do! I mean, I have to admitt, some of the pictures are pretty adorable, but please don't turn Jack Sparrow into a baby!! That is just too far! Not all the photo's are of him as a baby, but, just see for yourself...

 

I think after those I have earned myself the right to say, "WHAT!?" I...I...I...poor Jack Sparrow...

 

Sincerely yours, Mysticalshadow

2 cool and completely unrelated things!!

Hey there fellow humans!!!  Quartermaster speaking.

So, as you may have guessed from the title of this post, I have found, from the depths of the internet, 2 things that you may find interesting.  :D

#1:  I found this interview...it made me laugh

"No, we are totally different. There is nothing I can relate to in Captain Jack whatsoever," Depp says obviously joking about his now signature role.  Becoming somewhat serious he adds, "Any character you play there is a part of you goes into that in terms of the ingredients of making this, whatever, stew. There is definitely a part of me in Captain Jack and now, fortunately or unfortunately, there is a great part of Captain Jack in me as well.  Basically, I can't shake him. He won't leave me alone. He keeps showing up at odd times. In fact, he showed up this morning when I was getting my kids ready for school. I had to shoo him away."


Hehehehe!!!  How amusing.

#2:  News from Johnny Depp on POTC 5/6!!!

"There is a very clever idea in terms of 'Pirates 5 and 6,'" Depp reveals. "We're actually going to shoot them on the ride. Actually going around in a circle. Sort of like Andy Warhool's 'Sleep.'  Just close ups on everyone."

Mwahahahaha!!!!  Doesn't that sound fascinating?  I thought it did.

Here is the link to that website I got those from so I don't have to go through the trouble of sourcing it:
