I'm excited about Spiderman and "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" too.

Can't beat a good, loud summer blockbuster.

I'm also excited to see Keith Richards play Johnny Depp's dad, Teague, in Pirates.

After his recent hoax story (April Fool's joke?) about snorting his dad's ashes along with his cocaine, it was reported that Disney was mad and that he wouldn't be doing as much press before the Pirates movie comes out. They were probably mad he didn't come out with the story closer to the movie's release date.

From www.imdb.com:

Here's a quote from Keith:

"Cold turkey is not so bad after you've done it ten or twelve times."

And trivia:

"In the 1970's, he was once awake for nine days straight (with the assistance of various drugs). When he finally fell asleep, while standing up, he fell face-down into an amplifier, breaking his nose."
