Funny you mention that, Kate, because I was all mixed up on locales once everyone made it to the Locker. When they went back, were they just still near Singapore, or were they back in the Caribbean? Where exactly is Shipwreck Cove? So depending where the battle took place, Jack and Barbossa may indeed have a long trip ahead of them if they want their sunny Florida vacation together. I hear Barbossa is dying to ride the ET ride at Universal.

Did you have any idea about the whole Hector thing? How would that even enter someone's mind as a joke? Hector Barbossa just flows so well and it is neither too sweet nor too menacing.

What I really want to know is if, to get into character, Bill Nighy started beating up Naomie Harris to give her her infamous bruises. Lol.
Fun ways to "get into character on the POTC set:"

1. Keira: After a long ordeal of practicing her ever-growing stunt repetoire, she reports first to Jack Davenport's trailer. He is surprised to see her, but settles into the moment when she starts making out with him. She then goes to Chow Yun Fat/Yun Fat Chow's trailer and repeats the process. She moves on to Johnny's trailer where he makes sure Vanessa has taken the kiddies into town for the day. Finally, she knocks at Orlando's trailer where they "rehearse" for a long long time.

2. Johnny: After Keira leaves, Johnny gets a text from Vanessa saying she will be a little later but the kids want to hear him do Jack Sparrow again. Deciding to warm up, Johnny downs a few bottles of Captain Morgan. His stagger is all too real and he has forgotten all about his American accent for the day.

3. Orlando: Orlando is a little squeamish at the sight of fake blood, so he knocks at Bill Nighy's trailer. He squats down by the air conditioning vent and Bill practices stabbing him with a large tree branch. Orlando fakes his death scene with great panache, and finally feels prepared to do it during filming. He thanks Bill and leaves, taking the opportunity to bring flowers to his makeup artist for giving him such a cool scar at the end of the movie. All he has to wait on now is the next time Keira feels the need to get into character.

4. Geoffrey Rush: After a few hours of picking on Johnny, he decides to visit Mooshky, the monkey. He gives it treats and speaks baby talk to it for a while before checking on his hygeine. He has forgone a shower and shave for a few days and looks appropriately gnarled.

5. Naomie: Naomie withdraws from the rest of the cast, preferring they view her as a mystery woman. She starts getting her voodoo dolls out of her innocently-labeled "toy chest." She decides to pick on Jack Davenport for the day, making his doll feel the urge to go seduce Johnny. She laughs.

6. Jack Davenport: After a cold shower upon thinking of Johnny in a strange way, he sits in his trailer and watches old episodes of his short-lived television series UltraViolet. "Hey, I'm in it for all of 5 minutes. I don't need to prepare anything. Keira was already over for a visit."

7. Bill Nighy: Bill taped a photo of Naomie on his punching bag and started using his crab claw as a bat. He is surly to Orlando and Johnny and indifferent to Keira, who did NOT kiss him. He decides to eat order some calamari for lunch. He orders his personal assistant, Mike, to go get it for him. After Mike brings it back, Bill starts playing with it and making it say his own lines. He picks up another squid and begins directing a very interesting porno.

8. Kevin: Kevin reads up on all stories of the sea. After he feels he can annoy everyone, he names his teddy bear prop Gary, after screen legend Gary Oldman, who was offered the part of Eyeless Joe but declined, feeling the script was not intelligent enough. Soon, Kevin knows Johnny will be at his door to order him about and slap him. The girls playing the whores are running late.

9. Gore: Gore knows he has a lot to film today. Keith Richards slipped some kind of Agent X into his coffee, and he feels a little weird, but decides to press on. Today he has to film a whole third of the movie out of order, but decides the editing department can fix all of that. Keira has come to him to once again b*tch about certain contents of the script, but she sounded like Charlie Brown's teacher. T&T will come by later to taunt him and call him "college boy." He decides to go shoot hoops with Orlando.

10. T&T: T&T show up at about 3 in the afternoon, where there is only about 2 more hours left of filming in the day's schedule. They watch several scenes being filmed, recording their comments to use for the dvd's commentary later on so they don't have to watch the movie a second time. They are most pleased about Tom Hollander, who has been an absolute gentleman, not kicking those kids who mistook him for Gimli. Tom comes up and tells them how excited he is about his cinematic death scene. T&T smile and nod and after Tom leaves, roll their eyes and call him a shmuck. They throw acorns at Johnny, Keira, and Orlando and make obscene gestures when Bill and Naomie have their scene together. Finally, Gore tells them that security will be arriving to escort them off the set. They beg him to stay, not calling him "college boy" for once. Ted walks off with Scarlett and Terry walks off with Giselle, bragging that they once wrote a delightful little film called Shrek.
