(ok, that's unlikely, you're right, and as such I'm wrong. You can both kill me with guns next you see me)

Every man thinks he's Tyler. Every man is actually Jack. As long as every man gets Helena Bonham-Carter, everything works out alright.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 20:50 (twenty years ago) link

I don't think so!

― Lars (Nicole), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 20:51 (twenty years ago) link

(I hope you're still talking "Fight Club" and haven't switched to "Planet Of The Apes".)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 20:52 (twenty years ago) link

I don't want to share Helena Bonham-Carter with every other man on the Planet, not least because she is actually Johnny Depp and I'm sorry, the man is icky.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 21:07 (twenty years ago) link

Wait, am I Helena Bonham Carter in this equation? Fuck off with that, we're going to have to pick another movie.

ANDREW YOU JUST BECAME MY HERO

(I was actually looking for http://images.amazon.com/images/P/1563892618.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg , but Google knows best)

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 00:59 (twenty years ago) link

The other one looks more accurate.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 01:01 (twenty years ago) link

Yeah, and you don't end up looking like a transvestite (Millar is clearly wondering what's up with that).

The photo is from when we got 40s and went to the park. Because that definitely happened.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 01:04 (twenty years ago) link

Transsexual. That's the one I meant.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 01:06 (twenty years ago) link

If by "park" you mean "my house" then yes it did!

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 01:08 (twenty years ago) link

Where's Rod Stewart?

― Millar (Millar), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 01:13 (twenty years ago) link

Bottom left of the second picture.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 01:15 (twenty years ago) link

He can still pull, though.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 01:21 (twenty years ago) link

Are we still talking about Johnny Depp?

― s1utsky (slutsky), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 01:23 (twenty years ago) link

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

― s1utsky (slutsky), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 01:23 (twenty years ago) link

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.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 01:46 (twenty years ago) link

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

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 01:59 (twenty years ago) link

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.

― Scaredy cat (Natola), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 02:49 (twenty years ago) link

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.)
