This independent film (2009), which premiered at the famed Pacific Film Archive - has been picked up by PBS and will air this Fall. Nephew Kerrigan Addicott edited and executed a variety of behind-the-scenes production responsibilities, outstanding for a 17-year old. The first film we ever witnessed at PFA was Ashes and Diamonds, directed by Wajda - favored as a classic of B&W technique, via the interplay of light and shadow.

Yo Ho Ho Ho A Pirate's Life for me.

Slashdot, sourcing the blog TorrentFreak reported today that the Pirate's Bay, a den of rascallions loosely configuring a massive underground network of voluntary Internet torrents made a deal with Warner Brothers.



You'll have to judge whether on April 1st (still) this is true or not.

But one thing that is true I learned on Facebook from another Mike Addicott from Bristol, UK (who since has moved to Australia) is that the tavern/inn featuring prominently in the opening of Treasure Island - the "Admiral Benbow" is still there. It was the home of Jim Hawkins. Robert Louis Stevenson was inspired by it in creating the characters of Billy Bones, Long John Silver, and the rest.

Stevenson also created the story elements pirate treasure maps, X-marked spots, and sailors with eyepatches and parrots on their shoulders.
