Tumblr Users Roasted a Silly Loophole in How ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ Treated the Curse of Davy Jones

Davy Jones’ Locker, or the Curse of Davy Jones… you know about those right? For most, Pirates of the Caribbean is THE intro to the topic, and that’s why people on Tumblr are debating a certain scene from At World’s End far past the point of credulity.

Basically, the curse is such… Davy Jones had his heart removed and captains the Flying Dutchman, a ghost ship never able to make port because he can only return to dry land every ten years.

Well, in the scene in question, he’s standing on a sandbar in a bucket of seawater.

Really.

The discussion that follows discusses the reality of a sandbar.

And points out that he’s using multiple failsafes in order to not get blindsided by the curse.

Then, we get into what might be possible – or impossible – and just how far we might go.

I’m gonna guess no…. wet shoes doesn’t count.

What do you think Tumblr?

OMFG… I both love AND hate this conversation at the same time. So much ridiculousness.

And, of course, this thread ends with the perfect reference to the two idiot characters who, very likely, approved this entire idea in the first place…

Are we sure these two didn’t write this thread themselves? Hmmmm… food for thought.

Did you like how the movies treated Davy Jones? Do you think their interpretation is off?

Let’s talk centuries-old sea myths in the comments!

10 Abandoned Film Sets That Are Hauntingly Beautiful and Still Intact

Everything is make-believe in Hollywood, and it’s no surprise that after countless productions, there are a lot of sets that get left behind. Eventually, they’re reclaimed by Mother Nature, as is the way of all things. There’s something eery about places like these, as if the ghosts of the past are still there. And while there’s no reason to think any of these still-intact film sets are teeming with ghosts, well…there’s no reason to think they’re not, either.

#1. Port Royal (Pirates of the Caribbean)

The set was constructed on St. Vincent, on Wallilabou Bay, and you can find many of the set pieces still hanging out like someone is coming back for them.

#2. Bus/Train crash (The Fugitive)

The bus/train crash from the film was physically recreated…and left to decompose somewhere in the Great Smoky Mountains. Tell me you wouldn’t run the other way if you happened upon this in the wild.

#3. Gas station (The Hills Have Eyes)

This creepy horror flick takes place in Nevada, but if you want to visit this relic of the set, you’ll have to trek all the way to Ouarzazate, Morocco.

#4. The Long Branch Saloon (Gunsmoke)

The building is still standing in Kanab, Utah, though based on these pictures it looks as if that might not be the case for long.

#5. The diner from Looper.

Out in the middle of nowhere, Louisiana, and completely intact, as if it was dropped there by aliens. Or, you know…time travelers.

#6. Popeye’s village (Popeye, 1980)

The village was constructed in Malta and left to the country’s government after wrapping. They’ve done nothing to keep it up, but it does function as a tourist attraction if you’re up for a visit.

#7. The Bar None Ranch (Hey, Dude!)

If you’re a millennial, this probably looks familiar, but Nickelodeon hasn’t used the set since 1991.

#8. Westworld Set Piece

The Hawthorne Mall, in California, has been closed since 1999 but Hollywood can’t leave it alone – Taylor Swift also shot her “Ready For It” music video inside.

#9. District 12 (The Hunger Games)

The set, in Henry River Mill, NC, looks more like it belongs in the final installments of the trilogy cause it’s rundown and eerily empty.

#10. The American West in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

It’s actually Texas Hollywood and, oddly enough, stands untouched in Almeria, Spain. Huh.

While filming Pirates of the Caribbean in London, Johnny Depp received a letter from a local 9 year old girl, who asked for help with “munity” against her teachers. Depp turned up with no warning at the school in full Jack Sparrow outfit, but advised against munity. 00
