Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Well if he sucks, all we have to do is stop him walking and talking. He can just stand there and look pretty.

But why would the other pirates follow a woman? Shades of that ghastly 1970s Pirate movie.
Ewan MacGregor?

Ann, that's a ferret.
Hmmmm...MacGregor would be an interesting choice.
But why would the other pirates follow a woman?
Brenda's Anne Bonny article offers one suggestion -- pretend to be a man, though that complicates the movie's plot considerably. Or if she were an innkeeper, she'd have experience in leadership and running a business (and whatever else piracy may be, it's also a business). Not very strong reasons, but they're what I've got.

Brendan Fraser? Not that I've seen the original. But he can swashbuckle, and act too, though he rarely seems to be called upon to do so.

Wasn't there an awful pirate movie with Geena Davis in the captain's chair?

Yeah, it kind of damaged her and her husband's career.

That might explain the lack of decent feminist pirate movies. Although Kathy Acker's collaboration with the Mekons, Pussy, King of The Pirates is crying out for a feature-length movie.
