Johnny Depp and his whole shtick bugs the shit out of me.
Well it's mainly that the Jack Sparrow persona became popular and then for a long while he was asked only to act like Jack Sparrow. Yeah?
Or are you bothered by something else.
It's probably mostly that
Some of it is not totally his fault
Like his weird obsession with Hunter Thompson and all the druggie memes that came out of that movie
And his long association with Tim burton including the unnecessary and insulting remake of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
But that whole thing he did with Tonto and deciding oh I'll just put a stuffed bird on my head look how quirky I am was kind of the last straw

i definitely get people getting exasperated with performances where an actor just shows up to kind of chew scenery as a "type" for a while and collects a giant paycheck for it a la latter-day de Niro, Depp, and so forth. it's like ye olde theatre dayz where some dude in an acting troupe was known across the land for his fat clown performance so he is like "damn it Shakespeare write a fat clown into this play for me pls u know the audience loves it" and shakespeare is like SIGH FINE
but i feel like there's a lot of blame to go around on that one. actors want to work and if the only fish that are biting are the ones going "bro bro can you play a guy like the guy you played in taxi driver only funny and stupid and a comedy" then maybe you do that

although it would be hard not to yell I AM SHIVA THE GOD OF DEATH at her through the glass and walk away wearing a suit with a red cover booklet in my hand
I still can't get over the fact that there was an art exhibit in a museum that was a glass room and Tilda Swinton would at times enter the room and read, chill, or take a nap.
That was the exhibit. Sometimes an empty room, sometimes Tilda Swinton in the room acting as though it was not a museum but simply a room in her house.

So mysterious.
I would visit this exibit
And she might not have even been there. There was no schedule.
His performances in Ed Wood, Pirates, Edward Scissorhands, Fear and Loathing, etc are great and bold and weird
I admit he is in a lot of middling movies though - I won't defend the likes of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or Alice in Wonderland or Lone Ranger or Pirates of the Carribean Part 30: Curse of the Moldy Cheese
And the thing about those movies is that not only are they blah, they are also hard to forget - they're movies with huge budgets and huge marketing campaigns where Johnny Depp gives memorably weird performances with memorably weird costumes and makeup
so I guess I can understand if people get the idea burned into their head that Johnny Depp = bad
Jack Sparrow was a billion dollar persona. Around the second movie, teenage girls had a Jack Sparrow poster on their wall, twenty-something nerdettes had a Sparrow tattoo.

he's great tho
the only redeeming factor of any pirates sequels was when Johnny Depp was stuck in Surreal Pirate Limbo
I love that handwringing execs were really nervous about what Johnny Depp was doing on the first Pirates movie and thought he was ruining the film and were like "d..does he have to have all those gross false teeth? does he have to be so swishy and weird?" and Johnny Depp and Gore Verbinski were like "yes he does, suck it" and then ultimately Depp was the reason the movie was so popular

I feel like this is a thing missing from my life
And she might not have even been there. There was no schedule.
It was seemingly random.
I love art.
- obsessing about Hunter S Thompson
- working on Anything that Tim Burton does
I didn't see the Lone Ranger flick so I can't really comment on that but it at least looked mostly fun

Don't sass me.

(Moore's performance is strictly mediocre in a very two-dimensional role, but god damn it she's still major waifu)
The Lone Ranger is a movie I would love to have seen without Johnny Depp in it.
even that shitty kidnap movie that turned out to be about aliens

Lone Ranger needs a Tonto. Who would you have play Tonto?
Kind of the same issue I have with Wes Anderson
Where they are very very dedicated to a certain aesthetic and style and it is not something I am particularly interested in.
I can appreciate the skill and dedication and attention to detail that goes into their stuff but it's like
Dude
Maybe branch out a little bit
Tim, try and make a movie that's not about death
Wes, try and make a movie that's not about the unbearable tweeness of being
-Indiana Solo, runner of blades
except tim is going downhill and wes anderson has made better and better movies lately
seriously grand budapest hotel is so beautiful and so moving about war and changing culture and the old guard moving into the new
it's beautiful
you should watch it
almost none of their movies are about those things
I kinda get it if you can't get past their style to see it but you're super wrong

I am sure there is plenty of fiction around this. Plenty
