My sister showed me this today and I about fell out of my chair!!
First off, dont read any further if you dont want too know any spoilers pertaining to the ending of the movie!!!
You ready??? Ok, good
This was on moviemistakes.com underneath the trivia section on Pirates 3...
According to the article:
"Despite what seems to be indicated in the film, the captain of the Dutchman is not cursed to do that job for eternity. The scenes about the specifics of the curse were cut from the final version. The captain of the Dutchman must do the job for 10 years at a time, coming ashore on his one day every 10 years. If the captain's true love is waiting for him when he returns, his bond to the ship is severed and he can leave being captain and live with his love on land. (all of this is confirmed by Mr. Elliott and Mr. Rossio in the forums at wordplayer.com)."
Heres the link to the article...

This too me is awesome, and makes total sense in my opinoun. Dont know if this is what the makers want you to believe, but if Mr. Elliot and Mr. Rosio said this, then I guess I'll take it as the ending...I love it!!!
