Hackers have obtained a copy of Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales and are threatening to release portions of it unless Disney pays a Bitcoin ransom:
Although Iger did not mention the movie by name during the meeting, Deadline reports that it's a copy of 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.'
[...] The "ransom" demand from the hacker is reminiscent of another prominent entertainment industry leak, where the requested amount of Bitcoin was not paid. Just a few weeks ago a group calling itself TheDarkOverlord (TDO) published the premiere episode of the fifth season of Netflix's Orange is The New Black, followed by nine more episodes a few hours later.
[...] There is no indication that the previous and threatened leaks are related in any way. TorrentFreak has seen a list of movies and TV-shows TDO said they have in their possession, but the upcoming 'Pirates' movie isn't among them.
Disney has refused to pay a ransom and is cooperating with the FBI.

And then there's terrorism.
Please, hackers, just take my bank account. Don't make me see Johnny Depp Awkwardly fumble about for another 2 hours. Anything but that.

Pirates of the Caribbean, Rotten Tomatoes Critical Consensus:
1: 79% positive
2: 54%
3: 45%
4: 32%
5: If we pay a few Bitcoin, will you just stop bothering us?
Looking at the trendline, at this point I predict when they release Pirates of the Caribbean 6 in a few years, they'll receive a negative "Tomatometer" rating as critics actually commit suicide rather than watch the film to review it.

I think it will be something for Guantánamo Bay :p
A TV playing pirates of the bay #5 and being forced to be in the same room. If that won't help the combined show of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo and Kardashian ought to do it :)

Geeeez. You know with a good brownie and some food, those movies are actually kind of... enjoyable. I guess I'm alone in this :)
You should be put to death for even coming up with that combo in the first place. I've got goosebumps. Anyhoo, it's against the Geneva Convention, so just forget about it :)
Technically, lunchtime is at any moment. It's just a wave function.
