The parrot should have an eyepatch, too, of course! Anyway, now that's it's official, I'm free to answer any additional questions. Mike S. (who notes that the set will be rated aRRgghh!)

(who notes that the set will be rated aRRgghh!) Mike, do you know anything about the American shorts (hopefully not pirate pants) described as extras? Any other extras on this set?

In addition to trailers and commentaries, there are three shorts; though they're all classic Hollywood rather than British, they're at least thematic: a color Scrappy cartoon called MERRY MUTINEERS, chapter 1 of the serial THE GREAT ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN KIDD, and an Andy Clyde two-reeler called HOT PAPRIKA. Mike S. (who can't take credit for the "arrgh" pun, since it's as old as Andy Clyde)

(04/02/08 7:32 AM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	There IS one for Stranglers, but it's unintelligible... what with all the strangling going on. I believe there's even a documentary shot in Stranglescope! Professor Von X PS: I have it on good authority that 9 out of 10 pirates prefer Dario Arrrrrrghento movies on their voyages of plunder.

(04/03/08 9:49 AM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	This is one jam-packed release. Here's hoping the sales are strong enough for more such sets. Probably won't sell as much as What's Happening - but what can you do? John Last Edited By: videoaddict 04/03/08 12:14 PM. Edited 1 times.
