A Pirate’s Life for….you? – A Cool Giveaway

May 12, 2011 By Marta Darby 13 Comments

You know how much I love All-things-Disney.

And can I just tell you how ready I am for summer? Not just because I'll have lots of down time (yay!), but also because summer is Blockbuster Movie Season. Am I right?

Jonny & penelope

POC4_Parchment_Skull_TT_cool_v5.0

First movie on my List of Blockbuster Movies I'm Looking Forward To: PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES which will be released next week just in time for my birthday. (Thank you, Disney People!)

Capn jack

Here are my reasons (in no particular order):

  • Johnny Depp.
  • Penelope Cruz.
  • The Fountain of Youth.
  • I can wear scarves and heavy eye makup and no one will think it's weird.
  • I have a Very Cool Piratey Giveaway.
  • Best movie quotes EVER.
  • One of Lucy's teachers from last semester, Tim Powers, wrote the novel that the screenplay was based on, but that's not important right now. (Notice the cool inscription, which reads: "For Lucy – Who will be signing books for me one day! Cheers, Tim Powers. I know. Shut up.)

  Tim Powers autograph

So, here's what the generous folks at Disney Studios Motion Pictures are providing for this Very Cool Piratey Giveaway Pack: 

1) PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES T-shirt in adult sizes of S, M, L (winner chooses)

Pirate stuff

2) PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES bandana in blackPirate bandana

3) PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES temporary tattoo (2 per winner)Pirate tattoo

I'm very pleased! This is some awesome pirate loot.

So, it's time to play along with me.

For a chance to win the Cool Piratey Giveaway Pack, please leave your favorite Cap'n Jack quote or dialogue from any of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Only in the comments section of this post.Or just leave a piratey sounding comment.

I'll choose a winner on Monday, May 16th at 11 am PST.

The film debuts on Friday, May 20th.  (Yay!)

Just to get in the groove, I'm going to go “Like” PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN on Facebook at: http://www.Facebook.com/PiratesoftheCaribbean

Please enjoy the movie trailer. Then think of your favorite quote and leave it here for me.

Okay, I'll start:

Cap'n Jack Sparrow: We are very much alike, you and I, I and you… us.
Elizabeth: Oh. Except for a sense of honor and decency and a moral center. And personal hygiene.
Cap'n Jack Sparrow: Trifles.
Good luck!

    I warned him to… “Watch the boat, mind the tides and DO NOT TOUCH THAT DIRT”…but I don’t know… I guess he just loves those moments and likes to wave at them as they pass by…:'(

    My fave quote far, “I can name fingers and point names.” That Jack Sparrow is too funny! And hot!

    Why is the rum always gone?(stands up and staggers drunkenly)
    Oh… that’s why.
    Did no one come to save me just because they missed me?
    My tremendous intuitive sense of the female creature informs me that you are troubled.

Where in the world is My Big Fat Cuban Family Mart Where in the world is My Big Fat Cuban Family Marta? 🌎 👀I’ve been so super obviously absent from all my socials, let alone my blog itself.
For a while there, I was overwhelmed by the once easy task of documenting my day-to-day life.Everywhere I looked, people moved on to high production video and I was hopelessly lost, so I put writing on the shelf and happily got caught up on all the seasons I’ve missed from the Great British Baking Show.But then, as I often say, “life is in session,” and my life was accumulating entire chapters before I could even type, “Oh, the Cubanity!”Which brings us to today. I’m starting to dip my toe back into writing online. Mostly, I miss the writing and telling about my extraordinarily ordinary life and the daily happenings at Casa de la Loma.So, tell me: Do you have any questions for me as I get back into the over-sharing of my days? 👀#mybigfatcubanfamily #belikemarta #callmewella #mbfcf
