UK – DVD Review – Nov. 2006 – Pirate Kings
Title: Pirate Kings
Author: unknown
Publication: UK – DVD Review
Issue: November 2006
The thing that that greets you at the entrance to Industrial Light & Magic’s San Francisco HQ is Yoda. The wrinkly turquoise goblin stands on top of a fountain, wizened old hands resting on a cane, and he looks so realistic you half expect him to greet you with a sage “Help you, l will”, like some friendly Jedi receptionist.
Yoda, of course, started life as a puppet then went CGI, so it might seem odd to label a statue of him as ‘realistic’. But then that’s exactly what ILM does best — making the impossible seem possible, the incredible seem credible, little green men seem wise and worldly. It’s no wonder everyone you encounter on this imposing complex – built on the site of a former veterans’ hospital in The Presidio National Park – beams with pride about the quality of lLM’s work.
There’s a calm-before-the-storm atmosphere about the place. ILM has a regular staff of up to 800, which soars to 1,500 when it‘s at a creative peak, but today it seems half empty. “We’re quiet at the moment.” explains marketing and communications director Miles Perkins. Then he flashes a wide screen Californian smile and adds: “But we’re just about to start on Pirates 3…”

Skull and crossbones emerges as year-round motif
Topix.net – By Nicole Maestri.
The image of a human skull over two bones crossed together, once the purview of punk rockers and Goth lovers, has gone mainstream. Disney’s “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl,” with Johnny Depp’s swaggering portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow, hit theaters in 2003, renewing an interest in pirates, and their skull and crossbones symbol.
But the trend took off afresh this year as the sequel, “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest,” sizzled at the box office, racking up more than $1 billion in ticket sales worldwide.
“The whole thing about using a skull and crossbones is it immediately sends out the bad-boy signal,” said Hal Rubenstein, fashion director of In Style magazine. “There’s a certain amount of fun in being bad.”
Saks Inc. is selling a $264 pair of Rock & Republic skinny jeans with skulls embroidered on their back pockets, while Barneys New York has a $220 silk skull-print scarf.
Disney itself has seen strong demand for its “Pirates” gear, which ranges from cotton pajamas for youngsters to elaborate rings sold at upscale retailer Fred Segal.
Offering high-end pieces gives the merchandise a certain cachet, said Donna Sheridan, vice president of Disney apparel. Mid-tier and mass merchants then typically mimic the trend and offer similar products in their stores.
“What’s great about this trend is that it’s at every single level,
