The answer to that is, yes they really did pull all that stuff out of their ass because POTC was supposed to be a standalone. I didn't care for the sequels at all (yes, I have watched them. I don't find them memorable.)
So that brings me to another thing I generally don't like: movie sequels. THERE ARE TOO MANY OF THEM I'M DROWNING AHHHH!!! Very few directors/productions can pull off good sequels. Right now I can only think of James Cameron (who I think tends to make better sequels than originals- fancy that) and Pixar. The difficulty of sequels is in the continuity, and that's very difficult especially considering how money, production crew, and actors get shuffled around all the time, combined with a screenplay that is as well developed as the original's, as well as fleshing out new territory from the original source.
I also don't like well done meat. Or people who ask for well done meat at restaurants. Yes, go ahead and char all the flavor out of that meat just to kill off a few germs! Gees. I've heard restaurants keep the lousiest, oldest cuts of meat reserved for people who want their meat well done. Serves them right, fufufufu. Most of all antibiotic production (80%!) actually ends up being fed to livestock than humans. This brings up an issue of harming the animals' natural resistance to new strains of bacteria, as well as short-sighted actions stemming from agro-business greed, but I highly doubt a super killer new strain of bacteria/virus is hiding in the pink meat of a steak.
