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.
Numfar! Do the dance of joy.

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.

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

Cutthroat Island
Peter Boyle was in that, wasn't he? He had oodles of fun.

Pussy, King of The Pirates is crying out for a feature-length movie.
I'll get right on that, as soon as I finish this Wonder Woman script.

I've always wanted to see a good movie made about Anne Bonny.

Yeah, it was awful. But it had a great opening pun. Watch through the pun, and if you want a few seconds past as she strolls off with a monkey on her shoulder. Don't be sucked into watching more, cause that will time in your life you will never get back. (Youtube link) [link]

Hey now, some of us find Cutthroat Island to be a fun, dumb movie. Sure, given my choice of recent pirate movies, I'll watch the PotC trilogy and Muppet Treasure Island instead, but Cutthroat Island isn't ALL bad.

Well, I wouldn't throw out the whole movie. Fast forward to the bits with Peter Boyle (or his equivalent), Geena's character's uncle. There's a fight scene that's fun in the middle.

Muppet Treasure Island rocks like granite. "This is my only number!"
