New All-Female 'Pirates Of The Caribbean' Movie Just Two Hours Of Boats Backing Into Rocks

LOS ANGELES, CA — A reboot of the popular Pirates of the Caribbean film franchise will feature an all-female cast backing into rocks for two hours, says Disney.

"Women walk the plank together," a tagline for the film reads, referencing how women should stand together in life — and how they always go to the bathroom together for some reason.

The movie is expected to come in under budget thanks to the strategic use of Hollywood's gender pay gap combined with the fact the film only needs one set as the entire film takes place on a ship that has run aground on a section of rocks.

Though the previous film in the series, Dead Men Tell No Tales, ended in a cliffhanger, Disney CEO Bob Iger says it's time to go in a completely different direction and ignore the solid foundation that had previously been built.

"We have a really good, exciting story about women trying to captain a pirate ship," he said. "It has something new to say. About women. Maybe the environment, too. Oh, you know what? Mother nature! That's the ticket. She'll be the villain, but by the end of the movie everyone will learn to respect the environment (and women) and the ship will be set free from the jagged rocks. The rocks are a metaphor for men. And big oil."

According to sources, the movie starts with a big action sequence in which the ship backs into a bunch of rocks as the female Jack Sparrow is too busy checking her makeup in her little hand mirror thingie. About halfway through, the women free themselves only to back up into even more rocks.

Are they talking to the whales too?

'Sea women'? They themselves said how wonderful it was for whitey to teach them the ropes of the job, provide the boats, larn 'em how to read the coral.... take samples...

Just stop exaggerating for five seconds, making everything the White Man gets the Blacks to do is somehow a mystical experience based on their arcane knowledge... this isn't Whale Rider, the movie, you know... FFS...

Careful Frank.
If they had female prison guards at Alcatraz, they would have spotted that tunnel in its first few feet of being dug - because women can pick a fault in anything.

When a man seeds the body of a woman.
A woman seeds the mind of a man.

...you can tell the men whose minds are 'barren' and empty. Grin

Would that be you two Frank and Grapps?
Always feeling wanting, when it comes to women?

Sad are the males who need to demean females to float their boat.

So to you putting women on the same level as men and requiring the same standards of them in functioning is 'demeaning' them?

Go shove a few off their pedestals, boy.... women adore me.... fall at my feet... and not the housos, either... Roll Eyes

ADDS:- 'mind barren and empty" - son - what women find most alluring about me is that I have a head full of ideas, am creative, am clearly smarter than the average bore, and sometimes manage to write things that 'sing' to their souls....... that is the essence of art, you see... something that Ray Bradbury had in much of his writings..... that uncanny ability to create a mind picture with a few words..... somewhere a band is playing.......

Doesn't that draw your mind and soul to the idea that somewhere out there music plays just beyond the reach of your ear to hear ....... and what is this band?

Somewhere a band is playing,
Somewhere a mystic tune.
Somewhere a band is playing,
'Neath an alien moon...

"Hear me, O Critias .. that once was a kingdom of gods... a city of temples and golden buildings, just beyond the horizon through the Pillars of Rockhampton..... and all vanished in a single night and day of cataclysm......fire and flood..... for the inhabitants, thinking they WERE gods, offended the ancient gods mightily.... and grievously paid for this sin of hubris...."

The Japanese pearlers read this Aboriginal tract and set about sending their woman divers down deep around the reef.... if you've been on the reef you will know how quickly it can move from shallow reef to deep blue water..... and at the bottom of those sounds can sometimes be found statues and pieces of artefacts and even, when the light is right, one can take photographs of drowned buildings.....

Such was the Kingdom of Pacificis..... after which the Pacific Ocean is named...... and on occasion even today, Aboriginal divers in bark canoes can bring in golden statuettes and coins unidentified and with unknown hieroglyphs... strange heads and strange creatures embossed ...............

Now what sort of a message is that to aboriginal youths? You don't have to "go to uni and stuff like that" which is exactly what the rest of us non-abos have to do to get ahead in life. I'm assuming "stuff like that" means TAFE? School, even? Whilst we would probably have to have a degree in marine biology.

So I'm wondering just how much these training programmes cost and how much these women are being paid to do this work? I hope it's productive and makes a difference.

Adam Waits Patiently As Eve Tries On 23 Different Fig Leaves

"She has an entire closet full of fig leaves, and still she can't figure out anything to wear," Adam noted. "This is taking forever! Me, I just tie the first leaf I found around my waist, and I'm ready to go. Why are women so complicated?"

"It's not my fault," Eve replied defensively while selecting another leaf to try on. "Most of these leaves are from the summer collection, but I'm obviously an autumn. I want to make sure I'm looking my best in case we run into someone we know."

"We're literally the only two people on earth… who the heck are we going to run into?" Adam asked with exasperation. "Say, here's an idea, why don't we ditch the leaves and just go naked?"

"Oh, you'd like that, wouldn't you, pervert!" Eve snapped back. "You're always trying to get me to take my leaves off. Well, I've got news for you, I'm just not that kind of girl."

At publishing time, the couple was finally headed out to dinner after Eve decided to go with the first leaf she tried on after all.

Clearly they weren't 'Sea Women' until whitey brought the boats and stuff..... cultural appropriation that is.....

Now if I saw a group of Aboriginous paddle out to the reefs regularly and do surveys and come back and try to pressure government up there to get out of its air-conditioning and do something about reef problems - I'd be much more receptive.

As it stands - my question is why are young men excluded and why are white young men and young women excluded? Some mystical Aboriginous female power to 'hear the reef singing' or something and 'feel' its pain and stuff? We can ALL do that..... same as 'feeling the deep spirituality of a sunrise at Mt Warning' .... I commented t'other night on a forum that I kind of felt 'better' about the ocean when the whales were there ....'singing' to me are they? Or is it just my feelings? Whalegenderism or something taking a shot.... (FFS) ....

Like all such things - I have NO objection to seeing some young people given a fair shot at something worthwhile - my PROBLEM is the utter bullshit that is used to make it somehow 'special' to one group as if they are somehow 'special' again and again, and have the ONLY grip on some sort of fanciful holistic reality....

Which brings us to 'native title' ... oh, later... I've got things to do....
