veronica_rich | early POTC fandom

dahlianna, and I are watching CotBP (the first POTC movie) again. (Well, D is mostly watching "Supernatural" on her computer, but she's in the room.) And it started me remembering things in the very early fandom 8 years ago - things we now take for granted or are old hat, that were just getting started then.

For instance - does anyone else remember the little wordplays that resulted in phrases like "Dr. I Am Disinclined to Acquiesce to Your Request" (i.e., another name for the movie "Dr. No")? Or even where that list got off to? There were a bunch on it. What else do you extreme old-timers remember from the VERY early days of this fandom?

(Also, Jack looks much less stylized here; his outfit and look is more practical and "worn-in" and looks comfortable. In OST he's got more eyeliner and eyeshadow drawn on, his costume is more elaborate - it doesn't look like a costume here - and he looks more comfortable overall in this one. The costumes in this one seem more like clothes on everybody, too. Did Penny Rose just kind of give up?)
