Animus

Our Flag Means Death is a wonderful show. The main character 'Stede' is a monied gentleman who has had his life planne out by his family. An arranged marriage, children ect, but he dreams of a life of adventure as a 'gentleman pirate' who sails the high seas, captures rich merchant ships but never hurts anyone. His lofty ideals clash with reality but in ways that are mostly sweet as he tried to set a good example for his fellow pirates as he stumbles through his life as a 'pirate' who wants to make sure his crew is happy and well-cared for... The first episode sets the tone well as Captain Stede Bonnet shows us how his ship has a library, recreation room, ect.

I had no idea this movie existed, I knew of the first one from the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode. I admit the original was a 'so bad it's funny' movie but this one intentionally tried to be so a 'so bad it's funny' movie. The over the top bad or bland acting, the constant self references to sequels, the rehashes of the dumb stuff from the first movie it was pathetic. The only reason I watched it was for the Rifftrax and even those guys couldn't save this train wreck of a film. If you need something to cheer you up, don't watch this, if you want something to make you depressed, this is the movie for you. It will ake you hate living in world where Rick Sloan is allowed to make movies.
