Numb

...is the best word to describe what I (didn't) feel when I saw the official trailer for Pirates 3.

And here it comes, the part that made the rest of it a blank spot in my memory...

THEY USED A GODD*** F***** **** *********** ****** SOUNDCLIP FROM MONKEY ISLAND 3!!!

THAT MONKEY NOISE IS FROM CURSE OF MONKEY ISLAND AND THERE IS NO DISCUSSION!! IT'S THE FRAKKING NOISE YOU GET FROM THE FRELLING MONKEY ISLAND WINDOWS LOADER!!

May they forever burn in the seven hells of my dubious imagination for stealing outright that which is sacred!!

And for forcing me to go watch it as well... bastards...

-Fred, off to cool down someplace
Pirates, vampires, zombies, ninjas, ghouls, aliens, goblins, monsters, robots, sorcerers, undead, werewolves, demons, mutated dinosaur-cyborgs and those pesky phone salesmen! The shotgun is a one-size-fits-all solution!
And they're releasing it on May 25th, as direct competition to Spiderman 3. The second one was better than it's direct competition, Superman Returns, but Spiderman is a different ballpark.

Soooo....what's the problem? I mean, if they use a soundclip from MI3, to me that is a compliment to the music people. And, did they really steal it? Or, did they pay for the privilege? And ultimately, who cares? My 2 cents worth.

But... but... Monkey Island is the Lucasarts adventure games Holy Trilogy... you can't just go messing with holy trilogies, that leads to blasphemy and war and elevator music and garden gnomes on sale!

Y'know, doomsday-stuff!

Hi. I'm Guybrush Threepwood, and my theme has been pirated!
Never too late for coffee, never too early for beer.
Damn straight!

Come on, they´ve already pirated the whole voodoo swamp of Monkey Island 2 in Dead Man's Chest. :D
Well....since it was a HOLY thing, I guess I can capitulate and get on your band wagon.

Oh you mean the one that was in System Shock 2. :P

Trust me, they all buy them from the same place (Skywalker Sound first made them and then sold them off I'm guessing)

The film actually looks pretty cool. About time they moved away from the Monkey Island rip-offs and actually create something original. I'm expecting that huge battle between the armadas to be crazy.. If its not - I got ripped off :D
Wait and see, you'll be ripped off. The armadas will be closing on eachother and then!

Cut to some tropical island-scene where Jack is battling the three-headed monkey while spewing witticisms.

Oh yeah, you know it's comin'!
