Pirates of the Caribbean 2

[Hilarious Clinton 452]

I have been hearing a lot about this movie this week and I just have one question that is irking me .... what is the proper pronunciation of the word "Caribbean"????

Is it CaribbEEEEEEEan or CarIIIIIIbean ????

"ker-e-be-an" (CarIIIIIIbean)

"Although many tourists and foreigners favor say "ka-rib-e-an," this is a corruption of "ker-e-be-an," the accurate pronunciation truest to how the Caribs ("ker-ibs") pronounce their own name. The regional beer (Carib) is pronounced "kar-ib," not "ka-rib-eh." By the way, the Caribs say "po-ta-tow," not "po-tot-tow," and they should know. Potato is a Carib word adopted into English."

How silly of us to consider Webster's as the respected authority on the pronunciation of the English language, when it's actually you !

Better let Dictionary.com know, too -- apparently they're not in the loop on your "correction," either.

Saw it last night, not as good as the first one. I liked it, but wouldn't pay full price to see it again, maybe when it's at the cheaper theater, not sure. Overall, pretty good.

oh, and stay seated until the very end of the credits

Oh ####### we left oh well we'll have to go again we both Johnny so its cool!

just saw it and left BEFORE the credits, darn it!

i johnny & orlando, so its no tragedy to see it again...

heard its already made about $55million from friday alone...

In my opinion, it is not worth staying through the credits!! I read on this thread to stay til after the credits, and I told all my friends so we sat there waiting until the credits would end (seemed like way too long) and it wasn't worth it!!!! Just ask someone else about it, because it's not worth staying for. Ask me if ya want.

lol i stayed too. We sat and wait and it was at most 5 seconds long.

Besides that i absolutely LOVED it! I didnt think it was too long at all, they had my attention throughout the entire movie! Very well done!

Yeah my friends were like, "geez, (sarcasm) thanks for making us sit through the credits "... Was pretty funny actually, just making them sit there and wait.

I thought is was good-Johnny Depp is amazing-don't want to give too much away-but I think the third one will be very good as well

We saw it on Friday night. We had to see the 10:45 show as the first four showings were sold out already. We didn't get home until 2:30. Overall, I think it was awesome. I never once thought, man this is dragging out, even though I was dead tired. I guess I hadn't built it up to be something that it may not be. I never go into movies expecting anything so I won't be let down. I take them for what they are worth when I see them. I'm not sure it compared to the first one, but it wasn't the first one, so I didn't expect it to be the same. All in all, I think it was an awesome movie and I can't wait to see it again.
