So now I finally have seen the 'At Worlds End', the latest Pirates of the Caribbean, I might as well say, or should I say confess, I still prefer The Crimson Pirate (1952), that classic swashbuckler with Burt Lancaster as the tongue in cheek hero (who did all the stunts himself being a trapeze guy before), and Nick Cravat as his mute sidekick.

Hmm... why? Maybe it's my childhood 'making things bigger then it was' emo taste. But hey, all I remember is that i rarely saw that movie in its original language, always dubbed in German and still, as tiny me with wooden sword hitting tinier brothers, I totally loved it. That must mean something, not? I wanna bet Johnny sounds awful in German.
