Ian McShane is most famous for his Golden Globe-winning portrayal of ruthless saloon owner (and real historical figure) Al Swearengen in the defunct drama “Deadwood.” Next up for McShane, another real-life character who’s equally intimidating: Edward Teach, A.K.A. Blackbeard the Pirate, the baddest facial hair ever to roam the high seas.

NextMovie met McShane at Disney’s sneak preview event celebrating toys inspired by “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.” If we were expecting a menace worthy of Swearengen and Captain Blackbeard, we’d be relieved by the McShane we encountered: affable, chatty – and a sucker for iTunes on shuffle, just like us.

Two, two and a half hours, every day — something like that. It was built in three pieces; it had to...

With Halloween approaching, I thought you’d like to check out some awesome sci-fi Jack-o-Lanterns. I don’t know how many of you have tried carving a pumpkin, but it’s hard to do a straight line…let alone making an Autobot logo. And getting Yoda, Jacob (from Twilight) and Bender from Futurama to look good is kind of amazing. You can also see Jack-o-Lanterns from Harry Potter, Hellboy, a Cylon, Lord of the Rings, Spider-Man, Thundercats and more. Hit the jump to check them all out.

A big thank you to Collider reader Robert Marshall for sending me the link to this me flickr page.
