Because I don't think I've seen this movie.

Right at the minute we're providing fuel for Has ILE become too pally?

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 01:25 (twenty years ago) link

Well can we talk about The Astronaut's Wife or Nick of Time then?

― s1utsky (slutsky), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 01:29 (twenty years ago) link

(though there is a Preacher movie being made, and some people have views)

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 01:31 (twenty years ago) link

James Marsden, man. James Marsden. What are they thinking?

― s1utsky (slutsky), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 01:33 (twenty years ago) link

They were thinking "We can't cast Keanu, he's already signed on to play John Constantine".

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 01:37 (twenty years ago) link

Shut up. Really?

― s1utsky (slutsky), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 01:37 (twenty years ago) link

The IMDB doesn't lie (portions of this sentence may be a lie).

The director for Preacher appears to be Rachel Talalay. Eek.

It's like all my movie dreams are coming true at once except I'm not in any of these movies.

i saw depp on letterman or something last week and his voice for the appearance was kind of bewildering. he doesn't really talk like that, does he? surely it can't be natural. and if unnatural then dud.

― Josh (Josh), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 02:45 (twenty years ago) link

Yeah people should be themselves on talk shows.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 02:47 (twenty years ago) link

I sort of really like him, but there is something really dorky about him, too. Johnny Depp reminds me of quite a few people I've known over the years—except that they were in their early 20's. This guy is just too old to say some of the dorky things he says in interviews.

The coolest thing was changing his tattoo:
Winona ForN
Winona For^ever

― Scaredy cat (Natola), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 02:53 (twenty years ago) link

actually I think he changed it to "Wino Forever."

― s1utsky (slutsky), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 02:55 (twenty years ago) link

No, he put that on his other arm.

― Scaredy cat (Natola), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 02:57 (twenty years ago) link

You sure about that?

― s1utsky (slutsky), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 02:58 (twenty years ago) link

I'm just making shit up. That would amuse me, though, if he made 2 jokes out of one tattoo.

― Scaredy Cat, Wednesday, 16 July 2003 03:02 (twenty years ago) link

Yeah he is affecting some kind of faint Scottish accent now. I heard it on one of those obligatory E! Channel interviews. I think it's just a symptom of press-junket boredom.

― amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 03:12 (twenty years ago) link

I haven't heard his new interviews, but I'm thinking of one on Howard Stern before the war on Iraq went into full effect when he said, "I think we should drop LSD on them" and made a joke about it. Ha, ha, ha, yeah, Johnny, we get it: you've done LSD. You're cool. You were in a "band" with Gibby. Now go fuck yourself.

― Scaredy Cat, Wednesday, 16 July 2003 03:14 (twenty years ago) link

i saw that recent interview on letterman also. his habit of pausing before answering dave's questions.............................was quite disconcerting.

― Chris Radford (Chris Radford), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 03:21 (twenty years ago) link

i'm not convinced it's a schtick. i think he's genuinely eccentric.

― amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 03:25 (twenty years ago) link

i like his taste in waist coats.

― Chris Radford (Chris Radford), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 03:27 (twenty years ago) link

I heard it on one of those obligatory E! Channel interviews.

They make you watch those now in the States?

Whether it's shtick or not I don't really care. Why should I demand any more realness or whatever from him on TV than in the movies?

― s1utsky (slutsky), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 03:27 (twenty years ago) link

that's too nice, I prefer some kind of combination of 'lame' and 'screwy'

― Josh (Josh), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 03:27 (twenty years ago) link

For what now?

― s1utsky (slutsky), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 03:29 (twenty years ago) link

instead of 'eccentric'

― Josh (Josh), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 03:42 (twenty years ago) link

and the thing about it being a schtick was, i thought, not that it's not real but that it's lame and if it's going to be lame why not just not have a schtick

― Josh (Josh), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 03:47 (twenty years ago) link

i like that it hovers on the edge of weirdness, like to have to lean in a bit to really determine if he's affected an accent or not.

― amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 03:50 (twenty years ago) link

one month passes...

Definatley COOL!! Johnny Depp is amazing and a brilliant actor

― Ema Shawcroft, Monday, 25 August 2003 16:35 (twenty years ago) link

the trouble I had with Pirates of the C. was that while Depp and Rush (and most of the other pirates) were deliciously absurd and campy, the romantic leads were dreadfully dull.
It was like a Marx Brothers movie where they used to impose some lame romantic plotline with good-looking people into the movie.
Movie-goers of the world, we must send Hollywood a message: We're sick of looking at beautiful people!

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 25 August 2003 16:43 (twenty years ago) link

huh? that's standard issue, to have the grotesques offset by some bland young pretties.

― amateurist (amateurist), Monday, 25 August 2003 16:48 (twenty years ago) link

but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 25 August 2003 16:49 (twenty years ago) link

yes it does!

(nb: it may not, in fact.)

― amateurist (amateurist), Monday, 25 August 2003 17:14 (twenty years ago) link

but, like, what's that movie, oh yeah, Screwed, with Norm McDonald, Dave Chappelle and Danny DeVito, obv. in the spirit of those madcap Marx Bros flicks, except the only person nearly good-looking is that Sarah Silverman. That movie was awesome. I love that movie. I'm gonna go and rent that movie tonight. Hell. I'm gonna go buy it. I'm gonna go buy it right now. Yeah. Hell yeah. Fuck yeah. Right on.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 25 August 2003 17:19 (twenty years ago) link

who looks like they're going to cry more: Johnny Depp or Eminem?

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Monday, 25 August 2003 17:36 (twenty years ago) link

They should make a movie together.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 25 August 2003 17:37 (twenty years ago) link

They could call it Cry Me A River and it could be all about these two guys who want to have sex with Justin Timberlake.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 25 August 2003 17:37 (twenty years ago) link

The point of his acting is connecting with the audience.

― Helga, Friday, 5 September 2003 17:05 (twenty years ago) link

he owned a club called 'the viper room' i believe. that's the work of a fool. it sounds like it was named by a secondary school drama director attempting to set a scene in a biker's club. but i do like the majority of his films.

― chicken tonight (chicken tonight), Saturday, 6 September 2003 01:04 (twenty years ago) link

HIs performance in 'Pirates of the Caribbean' was that of an actor out of control, too big for the director to say 'stop it - you're overracting and unbalancing the film'. I haven't seen the film.

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 6 September 2003 01:59 (twenty years ago) link

he was a fool for apologizing cause he had nothing to apologize for.

― Tad (llamasfur), Saturday, 6 September 2003 03:00 (twenty years ago) link

used well in Dead Man and B&J, but Fool

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Saturday, 6 September 2003 03:04 (twenty years ago) link

two weeks pass...

Johnny Depp is awesome and that is why I want to model my acting carreer after him.

― I am Neo, Saturday, 20 September 2003 03:15 (twenty years ago) link

aren't you thinking of keanu reeves?

― s1utsky (slutsky), Saturday, 20 September 2003 15:06 (twenty years ago) link

three weeks pass...

Johnny Depp is the best actor ever. He's got the perfect presonality for a comedy, but also the perfect face for a horror flick. Yes he is a little weird but i believe thats what makes him a good actor. It makes him stand out form the rest of the crowd. Thats a sign of a true actor.

― Sk8er Grl, Thursday, 16 October 2003 02:43 (twenty years ago) link

I can't disagree with you there.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Thursday, 16 October 2003 04:07 (twenty years ago) link

"The perfect face for a horror flick"?

― Ally-zay, Thursday, 16 October 2003 04:17 (twenty years ago) link

well I'm not sure what she meant by that

― s1utsky (slutsky), Thursday, 16 October 2003 04:23 (twenty years ago) link

you know who has the perfect face for a horror flick? FREDDIE!!!!!

― s1utsky (slutsky), Thursday, 16 October 2003 04:24 (twenty years ago) link

Maybe she meant he's like, so gawth.
