Is PIRATES a movie by Roman Polanski?

I had to look it up.

Forgotten classic? It bombed you misleader you!

Pirates! is a Roman Polanski film that was released in 1986.

Although it did not reach the level of critical acclaim that it deserved, it has become a cult classic for fans of Pirate films.
It did bomb at the american boxoffice but it did OK in Europe.

Pirates! shits all over Pirates Of The Caribbean IMO.

There are only 3 editions of this film:
-A brazilian edition. Cropped to 1:78 but anamorphic.
-A german edition. Good quality but cut by 20 minutes.
-A polish edition. 2:35 anamorphic picture, uncut.

So, in other words, only one edition

And yes, my vision is back to normal, so on with the screengrab!

2 minutes that lasted.

Perhaps I should've been more obscure with choice of screenshot and/or film.

OK, judges, adjudicate. I see 11.54 (what the hell happened to BST?) for both Tom and LD. Granted, we can end this malarkey by letting Tom win, but is this to be drawn out with a point each, so we can have some fun with the CatMan?

As I have never had a chance of winning, I would like it known that I have only guessed twice in my entire time in this thread, and both times I've been correct

In terms of strike rates, I'm sure I'm winning

Sure Shot Kurgan

No problem whatsoever.
Two posts, one minute = 1 point each.

*Working on next screenshot*

British Summer Time. It's not 12.05 here, it's currently 1.05.

Alright, what's going on now? I seemed to have entered some sort of timewarp, and not the good one with the singing and dancing. :scratch:

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 13 Apr 2006, 00:09

Man, it's 2.10 over here and I'm still thinking whether I shall check out episodes 16 and 17 of the 5th season of "24".

the68monkey · Post by **the68monkey** » 13 Apr 2006, 00:10

Less than an hour 'til the 19th episode of season 2 of LOST here.

Kurgan, did you just delete a post?

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 13 Apr 2006, 00:12

(Italy / France / Germany)

Since this movie is known under at least 10 different names, all AKAs will be accepted for this one.

Oh, they're good. The series takes a turn for the better (finally).
