Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video  

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Whoa.

I cannot confirm that -- but that's really cool if true.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Hmph. I thought I'd check the version that's here, but it doesn't seem to have the titles.

From ScifiWire:

Bloom also confirmed that former Rolling Stone Keith Richards will play Jack Sparrow's father: "I've heard those rumors, too, and I believe there may be some truth in that, yes."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's a very firm position he's taking on the rumour.

If I only had a brain...

Ooh! ita said "rumour"! I bet she says "foetus", too!

But when the on-screen prosthetics peeled off for his swashbuckling leading man role in Pirates of the Caribbean, suddenly, all bets were off. The girls swooned and hysteria took over. Nearly 200 fan websites sprang up overnight

Ahem! He had an assload of fansites shortly after Fellowship. As someone who might have been paying attention to this stuff, it's insane how hard he took off with so little source material. The juggernaut already had inertia by the time PotC came out.

You're right. I remember seeing footage of the PotC premiere and there was hysteria when he arrived.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Hmph. The first time I saw PotC is was for the Orli factor. The second and third times were all about Johnny, and the fourth had a bit of a, "hey, wait, what about Jack?' influence. But Orli certainly had a pre-PotC buzz.

Fellowship and Two Towers were out at that point -- he'd definitely bust out as the teen heartthrob of choice before TTT even made it onscreen.

It's kinda creepy, except -- he's really pretty and it meant lots of pictures for this sorely visual girl to collect.
