and orlando bloom - noooooooooooooooo, so girly, he's practically a girl himself. Why on earth she would choose him over CJS only god knows, maybe a problem with eye sight

My dd1 is a big fan! Only 5! She had a poster for Dead Mans Chest on her wall, i mean a big poster I didn't mind.

Sadly over the weekend she was naughty, DH issued punishment - the removal of poster.

I'm so

Oi hands off!

Furrymummy · 29/05/2007 14:24

No can't say I fancy Captain Jack, but would definitely say he is a scene stealer
Can't wait to see Pirates 3, been soooo looking forward to it! And before you ask, no I don't fancy Orlando Bloom either, far too wussy!

It would be traumatic wouldn't it? In fact just thinking about it puts me right off the whole idea.....

DarrellRivers · 29/05/2007 14:21

It's his character I find utterly devastating, not Johnny Depp himself.
Agree , there is a certain timeless appeal to Capt JS that probably does span the age groups

Mindles · 29/05/2007 14:20

Maybe start him off with an eye patch?

gingernutlover · 29/05/2007 14:19

oh, now the willy wonkja costume really did not do it for me, but as a pirate, my word, out of this world

I am gonna suggest dh gets a parrot but i am not sure it would have the same appeal

OP posts:
Mindles · 29/05/2007 14:18

Oh that wouldn't be so nice. Maybe even a little bit traumatic.

Lazycow · 29/05/2007 14:18

I don't get it at all, but my 15 year old niece agrees as does my 50year old boss so from my sample of two his his appeal seems to cross all ages.

yeahinaminute · 29/05/2007 14:17

AIBU for not having seen Pirates of the Caribbean 1,2,3 or whatever number they're up to now ..... and have no idea what the fuss is about ???

He's a skinny bloke in a pirate suit from all I can gather !

DarrellRivers · 29/05/2007 14:17

nah, that doesn't do it for me

OrmIrian · 29/05/2007 14:15

Anyway don't think he wears the pirate stuff sadly. Might wander round as Willie Wonka instead...

OrmIrian · 29/05/2007 14:14

Not sure I'm telling......

What's it worth

MaureenMLove · 29/05/2007 14:13

www.speakeasy.org/~demiurge/graphics/jacksparrow.jpg Here we are girls, a little something to get you though the afternoon! Yum!

DarrellRivers · 29/05/2007 14:13

yes ormorion, where do you live, although he would have to be dressed as Capt JS and wonder around the neighbourhood for the full paroxysm of lust to strike in

Mindles · 29/05/2007 14:12

OrmIrian where do you live because I need to move there now...

MrsSpoon · 29/05/2007 14:11

You are not unreasonable at all, the only reason I would like to see Pirates 3 is to have a drool at Jack Sparrow.
