Sick, sick, sick.

So I find this page of pictures from the upcoming Pirates movie (yes, potential spoilers behind the link; click with care). I'm scrolling down through going 'ooh, yeah, this is pretty, oh doesn't she look hot in that outfit with the sword', and then I get to the picture that makes me go all gooshy.



No, not because of who it is. Yeah, there are people who think he's Teh Hawt; I'm not especially one. (Though he totally kicks Davy Jones's ass as the villain.

Not even the cannon, though, nice.

No, I went 'OMG linstock and slowmatch and they got it right!'

And that? Is hawt.

Sick, sick, sick, sick.

We may have met on the gun-line at Pennsic. I'm Erich, the guy who's taught the class for the past few years. Anyway, I now HAVE to see the freakin' Pirate movies. For similar authentic good-feelings, check out Master and Commander (http://www.masterandcommanderthefarsideoftheworld.com/), assuming you haven't already become a fan :-).

My gun's "Munchkin" -- the little 2-pdr Coehorn, on a red block mount.

This is firing a blank at Jamestown:

Here's one of the guys I was out with at a Sci-Fi con, firing ball on a range. Note the projectile riding the front of the smoke cloud:
