Thanks for those of you who entered the giveaway and shared those cool quotes for a chance to win some Pirate Booty (did I just use the word, "booty" in a sentence?).
So, Brandon, congratulations on winning the Pirate Booty (What? Did I just do it again?). Please shoot me an email with your snail mail address and MARTA, I WON STUFF ON YOUR BLOG in the subject line, and I will forward it to the generous folks at Disney Pictures and they will send you your Pirate Booty (Someone stop me!).
Here's some fun Pirate Activity Sheets provided by the studio for your creative Pirate pleasure. Download Pirates Activity Pack.
I'm delighted to let you know that my kids and I get to attend a pre-screening of the movie on Wednesday. (Yes! *fist pull*) And I guarantee that I will be completely insufferable with the Pirate Jokes this week.
And can I just tell you how ready I am for summer? Not just because I'll have lots of down time (yay!), but also because summer is Blockbuster Movie Season. Am I right?
First movie on my List of Blockbuster Movies I'm Looking Forward To: PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES which will be released next week just in time for my birthday. (Thank you, Disney People!)
Here are my reasons (in no particular order):
Johnny Depp.
Penelope Cruz.
The Fountain of Youth.
I can wear scarves and heavy eye makup and no one will think it's weird.
I have a Very Cool Piratey Giveaway.
Best movie quotes EVER.
One of Lucy's teachers from last semester, Tim Powers, wrote the novel that the screenplay was based on, but that's not important right now. (Notice the cool inscription, which reads: "For Lucy - Who will be signing books for me one day! Cheers, Tim Powers. I know. Shut up.)
So, here's what the generous folks at Disney Studios Motion Pictures are providing for this Very Cool Piratey Giveaway Pack:
1) PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES T-shirt in adult sizes of S, M, L (winner chooses)
2) PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES bandana in black
3) PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES temporary tattoo (2 per winner)
I'm very pleased! This is some awesome pirate loot.
So, it's time to play along with me.
For a chance to win the Cool Piratey Giveaway Pack, please leave your favorite Cap'n Jack quote or dialogue from any of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Only in the comments section of this post.Or just leave a piratey sounding comment.
I'll choose a winner on Monday, May 16th at 11 am PST.
Please enjoy the movie trailer. Then think of your favorite quote and leave it here for me.
Okay, I'll start:
Cap'n Jack Sparrow: We are very much alike, you and I, I and you... us. Elizabeth: Oh. Except for a sense of honor and decency and a moral center. And personal hygiene. Cap'n Jack Sparrow: Trifles.
Good luck!
