Do you use POTC in everyday conversation? Do you say quotes from it just to get attention? If you're like me and the numerous POTC fans out there, you definitely do! Just listen to this funny little story and then share your own experiences.

Me, my fiance, and his roommate are all having dinner together and somehow the conversation goes to books that have had historically been banned. Since I think in movie terms, I immediately mention Dante's Inferno, thinking of the movie "Se7en."

Meyer (the roommate): What's Dante's Inferno?
Fiance: You've never heard of that?
Me: It's about Dante and the poet Virgil takes him into hell and shows him every section, like people who do certain things get certain punishments. There are two follow-ups about purgatory and heaven.
Meyer: Circles of hell. That's cool.
Me: (being extra dorky and using one of my favorite Jack lines) The deepest circle of hell is reserved for traitors and mutineers.
Meyer: (loudly) Damn you, Jack Sparrrrrrooooowwwww!

I liked he understood the reference.
Has something similar happened to anyone else?

Chiki Mina

Theres something sexy in a man with an irish accent...the accent is a proper 'jack the lad' thing...mischieviously sexy...a lad with an irish accent could get away with murder and be able to smooth his way out of it lol big grin

PirateDiva
PirateDiva, does that mean you have a soft spot for my accent --Chiki Mina



LOL....If u had one! U speak english very well...and u could only hear the accent in a couple words u use....NOW if i heard u speak in SPANISH i'd probaly be in Love with ur Rican accent....i love it!!!!! big grin

Chiki Mina
stick out tongue

I try to talk fast in eng like I do in span and I really mess up. Sometimes I mix the words in eng with span vice versa.

PirateDiva
SPANGLISH eek!

Chiki Mina
UHG! It sucks!!! I annoy myself. Im like "Melina! Either speak all in span or all in eng!!"

So I usually don't talk no expression lol

So for all of you from England, is Johnny Depp's accent pretty good? Is it convincing? I would like to think that I could fake a British accent as I'm sure several British people could fake an American one, but I was wondering about Johnny.

johnny's accent is spot on, you would never guess he was american!! big grin

Its a real gritty accent, too smile

I dont mean to offend anyone, but i HATE it when some american actors try to pull off an english accent and make it all posh and stuff..

around 15% of the overall population speak like the queen and thats it lol! big grin

So its nice to see a great actor doing a great accent for a change big grin

willofthewisp
Sometimes I noticed in interviews while filming, he still is talking in his Jack voice, like he's keeping the accent up so he won't lose it. That's dedication right there.

certainly is!! big grin

i just find it amazing how he can take the accent off so well...

But then again, which accent is harder to pull off??

American or British???? smile

katelovespirate
you know, that was one of the thing my british friends always liked the most about POTC--- they did all the accents right--- historically speaking, the mix of accents, depending on where each pirate or soldier would have been from, was perfect. which i fully agree with.

Keira's accent is my favorite, but I am CONTINUALLY amazed by Johnny's accent, as fast and as much as he talks, that he never slips, he puts it on like a costume, its pretty amazing.

That's also one of my rules in life: marry someone with a great accent. wink

as far as the original topic, dude that happens to me quite often, but mostly because I am constantly bringing it up myself. i was on the phone with someone important at one point and accidentally quoted a line and then felt like i better cut back before quoting pirates gets me in trouble.

Chiki Mina
I think Johnny Depp makes a good Latino. Like in Don Juan DeMarco, he looks amazing as a latino. And his accent is really good.

lovethemtigers
you know what...johnny did a great early american accent as Ichabod Crane in Sleepy Hollow.....and a great British accent in POTC and DMC...and as a Latino in Dan Juan DeMarco....and you know what...Johnny's just great...he is great at everything he does....how about as the Libertine...and that weird Willy Wonka accent.....

what a fabulous and gorgeous actor....

lovethemtigers
and when you watch Johnny as himself...he has such an articulate speaking voice..it's hard to imagine that he was born and raised in Kentucky...he is so well spoken..and such a soft sexy voice..oooh la la...he just makes me want to melt....man, Vanessa is the luckiest woman on earth, is she not?

PirateDiva
Or the Irish accent he had going on in Finding Neverland or Cholcolate!!!

Johnny is just amazing!!! I LOVE HIM!!!

I agree She is!!!! LUCKY HER!!!

And i agree that Johnny does sort of still talk in his Jack voice while doing interviews....I love how he can pull of the accent, slurr it, speack fast with intricate words all while acting!!!

AMAZING!!! I Just Love the GUY....sooooo HOTT!

lovethemtigers
OMG...the man is simply hot in Chocolat....i was at Kroger a few weeks ago and this beautiful little hard-backed book called "Hollywood's Greatest Couples"....and guess who was featured in the book of all-time most romantic on-screen loves....Johnny and his co-star in "Chocolat"...it was one of the only most current couples...the others were like Scarlett and Rhett from Gone With The Wind....Sandy and Danny from Grease....Hans and Lia from Star Wars...and many other old black and white couples from the 40's and 50's...

PirateDiva
I know he is gorgeous in that movie.....the moment i cant get over...is when He dances with her on the boat....and she is being all dorky and he is just being amazingly hot!!!!

SUPER SEXY WHEN HE IS DANCING!!!!! *grabs magazine and starts fanning herself*

willofthewisp
Hey! Not everyone from Kentucky is a hick. They actually have universities and libraries there, believe it or not.

Surreal_44
When I was working in a doctor's office and I'd be on the phone with tech support, the tech guy and I would talk about pirates and plots and stuff while we waited for stuff to start working on the computer. big grin

I know I didn't mean it that way...I just meant Johnny is so articulate it's hard to believe he is even from the USA period...

lovethemtigers
Oh I love Johnny in Finding Neverland..but the story is too sad for me to watch more than once...I've only seen it once....

PirateDiva
I've seen it like 10 times and seriously i still CRY everytime....it never fails to get me....NEVER!!!

And yes I love that movie!!!

Hambah
I love Finding Neverland. He does a really great accent in it.
I also love the little boy who plays Peter. IMO he's an amazing actor for a kid his age.

CaptainJacksLuv
i love with the bloopers when they laugh(the spoon scene, as i like to call it), how they put that sound in.

T.Maria
how about when hes walking along with the dog and it decides to go for a poopsie?? big grin

PirateDiva

Chiki Mina

"I know I didn't mean it that way...I just meant Johnny is so articulate it's hard to believe he is even from the USA period..."----lovethemtigers

I'm sorry, but I have to be nit-picky here. Are you not from the USA? If you're not and you've run into some unsavory Americans, I apologize for that, but there are many reserved, well-spoken, well-read, and well-bred Americans, too, and I just hate the stereotype that Americans are stupid and superficial when quite a few of us, myself included, take great enjoyment in literature and art and music and....POTC.

sorry...I am from the USA....what I mean is he doesn't have an american accent....I'm from Louisiana...and a full blooded cajun...so I just mean his voice is very articulate...sorry embarrasment

Chiki Mina
I'm not american confused

I don't know where this conversation is going, really lol.

willofthewisp
Sorry. That's defensive little willofthewisp trying to start trouble......lol. Anyone else mention POTC in everyday conversation?

lovethemtigers
okaY....on with Potc in everyday conversation....I often say...."is it not" or "am I not."....."do we have an accord"....

PirateDiva
"Thats Very Interesting" and "Oh Bugger" are the usual ones for me...amoung others!!!

Chiki Mina

PirateDiva

Ive gotta ask though...when you do say 'oh bugger'...do u say it in an american accent or an english accent?? smile

Its the same with bollocks...it just sounds really weird when an american swears ...but thats because im from england and im used to hearing swear words over here all the time, and i obviously dont hear American people swearing lol smile

WOw, that's soooooo true, he's hot! even if he is a drunk dirty pirate (a really hot drunk dirty pirate ) LOL

lovethemtigers
yeah..but he's not really drunk...it's all an act.....yeah, so what he's dirty....that's just triffles....

lovethemtigers
If he were really drunk..he'd never be able to come up with all of his really clever ideas...and I can't remember if it was on one or two..but the writers in their commentary even say that Jack's actions...are just that..acts...he does it to keep his enemies and his friends off guard..he's very smart, clever and he just wants others to think he's not so he can catch them off-guard....it's all an act, even the being drunk part - although he really does have too much to drink on the island cuz he thinks he's gonna get lucky with Lizzie...LOL

JaehSkywalker
first post and title: we talk about POTC at school on almost daily basis. quotes, hmm.. occasionally...

Chiki Mina
Jack is always drunk wink

lol But he sure knows what he's doing for a drunk person big grin

dichH2Odrinkrum
I belive Jack drinks so much becasue one it eases the pain and your thoughts you really don't have control of what you are doing most of the time and if he thinks about lizzie and she vexed him then he might be drinking for her, adding to the pain for being mutinated upon and he became an alcoholic on the island thanks to the rumrunners and drinking non-stop for three days. He drinks so much that he is probably smarter drunk then sober. Though it might be interesting to see him sober for a day. ok nuff rambling

JaehSkywalker
lol. reverse... effect... of alcohol! first case i've seen!

tia dalma
hey Claudia where did ya get your pic from its awesome i love it

ivebeendepped43
yeah, sexi

I thought I'd share this on this thread...has anyone seen Gwen Stefani's Sweet Escape video? If you haven't, you should because there is a scene in it where she's in jail and she's begging a dog for the keys. I'm sure it's not a direct POTC reference, but it's the only movie I can think of where the dog is holding the keys.
