Does anyone know a good screencapping program? A free one?

I don't mean I want to do them one at a time. I've tried that, it takes forever and I wasn't entirely happy with the results. I want where you play the clip or give it the clip and it makes all the screencaps for you.

Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen

This was so good: historical romance set among a struggling circus during the Depression. Not only does she have her facts right and make you feel like you were there, but she does include deeper themes of freedom and how far we're willing to get it. There are some descriptions of animal torture though.

I totally laughed, early on, when Jacob's college roommate was named Edward.

Also, I really need to see the Ringling museum one of these days. The closest I've come so far is when they loaned some of their prints to my elementary school twenty years ago...Degas and Toulouse-Lautrec.

Day 16 - - Scene/Moment that makes you giggle

Actually, the first thing that came to mind was from the ride.

Barbossa: Fire at will!
Me: Why are you firing at Will? What did he ever do to you? You haven't even met him yet!

Hehe, I still wish they would have Jack Davenport's voice yelling out orders from the fort.

Anyway, here's my movie scene from Dead Man's Chest.

Day 17 - Which historical moment or circumstance should they explore?

New Orleans! Or Boston or anywhere on the mainland that can serve as a contrast to Port Royal because while they mention Florida and all...I'm not holding my breath that we'll actually get to see St. Augustine in its heyday. The Young Jack Sparrows books had New Orleans several times and even the parks have New Orleans as themes and areas but nothing in the actual films.

:(

Can you just imagine Jack running past the original structure of St Louis Cathedral? Being chased by one of the nuns from the Ursuline Convent?

It'd be awesome.

Day 18 - Favorite Will scene

It's from CotBP when Will finally realizes that maybe some "pirate"y ideas are pertinent to his regular life and embraces them...plus, he dresses all Musketeer-like with the feather in his cap. NICE!

Day 19 - Favorite Elizabeth scene

It's when Elizabeth saves James in Tortuga. It's kind of debatable what Elizabeth's true feelings are before that point. She calls him James, says how he's a fine man and she would go through with the marriage but you can't tell how much is honesty and how much is manipulation to make sure Will is saved. However, in Tortuga, she recognizes James despite the scruffiness AND recognizes the suicidal mood he's in and she saves him from getting himself killed that night. Then, she could have walked away but she finds where they threw him out and is honestly saddened by the whole situation, plus, the way she touches him here.

I think she really did love James but not in the same way that she loved Will.
