With the arrival of a new Pirates of the Caribbean trailer, and the movie just around the corner I thought this would be as good a time as any to post this.
I would never call pirates "mainstream." The closest it came was the ride at Disney World. Despite that, when I was about 7 or 8 my best friend and I were obsessed with pirates. His room was filled with pirates figures, and his computer was overloaded with pirate games, collectively we must of had at least 30 books on them also. Now as time went on and we grew older, pirates did not row with us, they stayed the same as when we were 8.
Then out of nowhere The Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl came out. At this time we were only ten and we had already started to lose interest in pirates so neither of us saw the first one in theaters. Then the second one came and he went to see it in theaters, and he thought it was really good, but I flt that he was only jumping on the bandwagon. Later the third one came out and at this point the franchise had gotten so big that even I had to jump on the bandwagon.
After seeing it I fell in love with it. There was a special on USA Network where I saw the first one, and this is where I kinda got off of the bandwagon. I thought that the third pirates movie was better than the first.
Later that year my dad bought me the second movie for Christmas, and my mom got me third one. To shorten things I'm just going to say that I thought the second was the best one.
Now to finish this post up I'm gong to say: don't hate on the bandwagon, sure it brings a lot of unpopular things to the mainstream, but don't let it dictate what you do and do not see.
Do You Agree?
