But, I do have a question for cindy_k or anyone else who would care to answer this about the movie. If Will Turners Dad was cursed as well, how did he die? I know the story of how he died, but my question is how could he die if he was cursed? Does that make any sense?

I could be wrong, but from what I remember of the movie, the pirates threw Bootstrap Turner with a cannon ball tied to his leg into the ocean. He sunk in the ocean and has been there ever since, I'm assuming that he was alive, just stuck under water. When the curse was lifted, he drowned in the ocean. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's right--haven't seen the movie for about 3 weeks now, maybe it's time to re-watch it.

Right, when the curse was lifted, Bootstraps would have died. HOWEVER, if you watch the very last surprise scene following the credits, you see the monkey go back to the treasure cave and remove a piece of gold from the chest, thus renwing the curse. There's been some buzz that the Bootstraps character may actually be in the sequel!!!

Thanks, that was my assumption as well, but I wasn't sure! Can't wait for part 2.

I have never watched the movie to the end of the credits, I'm going to have to check that one out.

I believe that the only one affected by a new curse would be the one who stole the coin, that is the monkey.The original curse and Jack's curse were settled when the coins and the blood were repayed.
Also food for thought that perhaps when Bootstrap was trapped as a cursed pirate under water, he was able to free himself from the ocean before the end of the curse and is wandering free somewhere until the next movie!

While I thought that Depp's performance *was* excellent, my money for the win is on Kingsley. Critics are unanimously saying that HOSAF is the performance of his career, and that's saying something when the reference is to the guy who won for Gandhi.

My heart is rooting for Johnny but my head is picking Bill Murray but a girl can root for more than one

If the sequal is just that the monkey recursed them all, I (and alot of others) will be so disappointed.

I choose to believe that Bill had 8 years to escape the ocean and did, before the curse was lifted. I do hope that the sequal revolves around that.
