Can't wait to see Cap'n Davey Jones in action on the big screen. It does look pretty fantastic.

Does this mean Nighy was never on set?

Agreed. The years have not been good to our Davey Jones. And I can only image how crusty Mickey Dolenz, Mike Nesmith and Peter Tork are looking now too. Sheesh!

(thanks, try the veal, folks)

I wonder what his balls look like in CG

Apparently he was on set with motion-capture stuff in his face.

I thought the eyes were his and a reporter who talked to the team about the CG squid wrote to let me know that the eyes were CGed too.

Bah, who needs actors anymore!?

I'd be worried about a Jar Jar factor if it were anyone but Bill Nighy... seeing the movie tonight and I can't wait!

This cat is just great with makeup effects. He was a real breakthrough performance in the otherwise worthless Underworld.

So... Like... How does he breathe? Hehe.

That shot is my favorite Davy Jones shot in the film. My second favorite is when he lights his pipe in his first scene and blows out the match with that little doohicky on his left cheek. Truly awesome.

This is going to be the #1 Halloween mask this year! I want one NOW!

Just look at the detail with the barnicles on his hat. My god, that's impressive.

I can actually "feel" his tentacles! Amazing!
Looks like I'm going to see this several times just to appreciate all the CGI work.
