pauraque_bkWe rented PotC this holiday. I'd already seen it in the theater, but I think I liked it better on second viewing (perhaps because I wasn't seeing it as part of an awkward social occasion).
Liked it so much better, in fact, that the result is several hundred words of pirate slash. It's one of those stories that just hit my brain fully-formed (while we were watching a different movie, in fact), and had to get out *right then*. Once it's all written out, it may not turn out to be suitable for public consumption, but I'm having a good time with it. Talk about your fun character voices....
In any case, I have a plot question. I realize that trying to make perfect sense of a summer movie may be a fool's errand, but humor me. When Bill Turner Sr. took a piece of the gold, he must have incurred the curse too, and must still have been cursed when the crew sent him to sleep with the fishes. In which case, shouldn't he still have been down there when they realized they needed his blood to lift the curse? Wouldn't the logical thing be to go back and find him? Or am I missing something?

I think it was probably an error in the writing of it, actually.
