Gore Verbinski is directing both of the sequels, but I'm still slightly nervous that at least one of them will be duds.

i have a pirate library.
i am not joking.
my senior year of high school i wrote a 20-page research thesis.

i recommend Under The Black Flag: The Romance and the Reality of Life Among the Pirates by David Cordingly, A General History of the Pyrates by Daniel Defoe, The Pirates Own Book : Authentic Narratives of the Most Celebrated Sea Robbers by Marine Research Society OR A General History of the Robberies and Murders of the Most Notorious Pirates by Captain Charles Johnson, David Cordingly

Grainne ni Mhaille (Grace O'Malley) was an awesome pirate chick! She even met Elizabeth I, told her she'd stop pirating English ships...and then went right back to kicking their asses. Good Irish lass, she.
