Most of my conversations are shared with pathetic movie geeks like myself, and more than a few recent chit-chats have focused on my nerdly obsession with Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. I've got the desktop wallpaper, the hi-def trailer ... hell, I just listened to the screenwriter's commentary on the original Pirates DVD. So to say I'm pretty pumped for the second nautical adventure of Capt. Jack Sparrow would be a keen example of understatement. (If it sucks, I'll be crushed. Seriously.)And then I got an email from a friend that said: "JoBlo points ye toward a new clip from Pirates 2. Don't be emailin' me back, ya landlocked bilge-nerd, because I'm sick of ye talking about pirates, ye royale depp-dork."
Granted, it's a short little not-much of a clip, but apparently it comes from last week's MTV Movie Awards broadcast, and it does seem to feature the unexpected reunion between Captain Jack and Will (Legolas) Turner, so that's a little bit of fun, I suppose. Click here to check it out for yarself.
And then go re-watch Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and tell me it's not awesome. I dare you.
(And save the salty comments, ye scurvy trolls, and mislabelin' me a disneyboy! I only to get be fanboy frenzied about a few titles this year, and POTC2 is absolutely one of those flicks.)

I'll let you in on a not-very secret
secret: I absolutely love, admire, and adore Pirates of the
Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. Love it. So when JoBlo pointed me towards the MySpace user who won the right to
"host" the all-new Pirates 2 trailer, I went giddy.Unfortunately, corporate synergy often works better in theory than in it does in practice, which explains why it took me almost two hours to get the trailer downloaded. Oh, I'm sorry; I mean "the first 2/3rds of the trailer and I couldn't get the rest no matter how hard I tried." Speaking as an unapologetic Pirates geekboy, the trailer looks pretty darn fantastic, full of swordfights and Depps and crustaceanmen and Knightleys and waterlogged mutants and Blooms and huge giant krakens ... but in order to get the final third of the trailer into my fevered brain, I had to visit YouTube.com -- where the downloads are quicker but the picture quality is lamer.
Expect the Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest trailer to be hosted somewhere better sometime real soon. (Get on it, Apple Quicktime!) Meanwhile, I'm gonna go watch the clip again.
