and bound to the ship for eternity,
Not so. If she remains true to him, after ten years he is free.
That's why the Dutchman was so bitter.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Really? I missed that somehow.

If she remains true to him, after ten years he is free.But wasn't that unclear from the movie? I feel like it was mentioned somewhere as a line that was cut. And then everyone went, "OH! That makes much more sense! Why'd they cut that part?"
Of course, my icebox question is ...when was the kid conceived?

I'm pretty sure that wasn't in the movie.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It's halfway made clear in the bit after the credits. So I'm told, I never saw it.
Of course, my icebox question is ...when was the kid conceived?
Right before Will had to leave on the Dutchman.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I guess it's not very clear. I'm pretty sure it comes up in the reconciliation conversation between the Dutchman and Calypso where she says it is her nature to be sexayy as she's sort of an elemental and consequently her infidelity was to be expected.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Yeah, I missed that too, and don't think it was made very clear in the end bit after the credits.
Also, if that is the case, then who takes over the Flying Dutchman? Because part of the job is to ferry/shepard the dead to the other side, right?

Right before Will had to leave on the Dutchman.
Ooooh, right. I had to go look at a summary; I'd forgotten that scene.
Though I'm kind of disappointed; I was hoping there was something scandalous going on.

I think it's a Dread Pirate Roberts type gig where you pass it on. I suppose there are always some folks willing to make that trade.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Fucking ridiculous. It's a heavy special effects movie, so you have to sit through about 8 minutes of bullshit, waiting to pee, to see a substantial piece of the narrative? I can't recall if I waited to the end of Pirates or not, but I rarely do it anymore. It's NEVER WORTH IT.
