I'm not too fond of him, either, jimbo. In this day of the internet, things can definitely be taken out of context, but it seems as if sometime back, someone took a direct quote from him, and he started backpedalling about how his words were misinterpreted. But he never said he didn't say what was quoted, and the quote seemed pretty concrete, so it was pretty obvious that he goofed and was doing damage control. Clarify if you said something wrong, but don't point fingers at people who are quoting you if YOU misspoke. And he just seems a little too whiny about it all.
Bruckheimer is another shady one- he's still saying that the decision hasn't been made about Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightly returning for Pirates 4, but they've both sounded pretty firm about not wanting to come back, and if they *did* return, the script would have to be changed drastically, so if they plan to start filming in June, they darn well have better have made that decision already. They just don't want to say.
I think this is why for the most part, people are very tightlipped until they really have something concrete to announce. We want information, but when we get it and then start getting all kinds of contradictions, maybe it'd be better off if we'd hear less
Even better would be if they could tell us very small pieces of information at a time, and be CLEAR about what they are saying, even if everything is still up in the air.
