But if Johnny Depp\’s only recent defendable film is one where he\’s never actually onscreen, that\’s prob not a good thing.

I hope this is the last ever Pirates of the Caribbean movie even though the scene after the credits was arrogantly included for yet another sequel to be made. The entire film series has been awful – bloated, overlong, overloaded, overstuffed, pretentious films about a one-note character.

It would be good if Johnny Depp does more dramas and plays more straight and normal characters. However, I have already given up on him from his poor choices in roles and projects and don\’t expect him to.

Well, neither Kate nor Paula can act so they are pretty much interchangeable in my book. Not to mention both movies were atrocious, I prefer studios ignore both of them but I doubt I could ever be that lucky. I love both ladies but they do not need to ever do romantic comedies. Dramas and action, yes, romantic comedies, however, are an epic fail.

Sara, Paula Patton has acting talent. But, because she is African-American, she is not receiving many job offers. Which is a damn shame !

sp,

I was referencing this film and Just Wright. I should have been clearer but she can not act in romantic comedies. I just don\’t believe she has that in her arsenal. She did great with Deja Vu and Precious. I believe dramas is where she will shine. And I am sure Mission Impossible will do well for her.

I have on good authority that Paula gets pretty of offers. The problem: they are roles she doesn\’t want. And the ones she wants, she usually lose out on. Add on top of that, she has a family, her choices are fairly limited.

Long post but IMO romantic comedies are not for everyone. She and her co-star, Laz Alonso, fit into those categories.

Seconded on Rango. Not a piece of crap in the least. That\’s still the best \”fun\” movie of the year as far as I\’m concerned.

RANGO was a really good movie (and all of fun)

Johnny Depp makes movies that he wants to do, not what you want him to do. His movies are fun, and if you don\’t like them, then don\’t watch them. Its that simple.Usually people who like to tear apart other peoples work have underlying issues. Envy much?

My Goodness Hoffman~
One has to wonder why you would continuously subject yourself to \”bloated, overlong, overloaded, over stuffed and pretentious\” movies. You must be a bit of a masochist.

I personally love Pirates of the Caribbean movies and the character of Capt. Jack Sparrow in particular. It is escapism pure and simple.

Rum Diary: Where Depp sleepwalks through another Cap\’n Jack / Burton-esq zany performance, but critics fall all over him, because this time it is in a \”serious movie\”. You can see the Oscar nom already. Hollywood wants to give him that award, but they aren\’t willing to wait for him to deliver a challenging performance. Why don\’t they cut to the chase and give it to him for Cap\’n Jack? Same performance and they can move on.

Man idk why people are talking so much shit about the movie. The trilogy was finished this one was a spin off of it so people need to stop comparing it to them. It\’s kicked all the other movies ass out so far and in it\’s own right it\’s a good movie. Fuck the critics they don\’t know shit it matters what the people think of it and by the money that it\’s making its overall a success. I\’m definantly looking forward to pirates 5

Johnny Depp couldn\’t care less about your shitty opinion.
As far as I\’m concerned, this movie isn\’t as bad as everyone is toting it out to be. A sequel can never be as good as the original (exception- Toy Story 3), and this is meant to be more of a spin-off than a sequel.
Also, I think people are too used to Gore\’s excellent vision associated with Pirates- and the difference in direction is one they found hard to get over.
Anyways, Johnny\’s never done much other people wanted him to do. He\’s always taken roles and films more appealing to himself than to others, in his career, and that is exactly what he\’s doing now.
As for “remember when Johnny Depp made movies that weren’t a piece of shit?”- He makes one failure (The Tourist) and one less appealing film (Alice in Wonderland) and you\’re disregarding him just like that? Just because he had one bad year, in \’10? Wow. I didn\’t know American audiences had such a short span memory. I think one of the main reasons you guys are reacting this way is because he makes less movies nowadays.
Anyways, wait for \”The Rum Diary\” before judging him so harshly. Slated to release this fall.

Ain\’t no compliment like a backhanded compliment! \”On Stranger Tides\” was a terrible, vacuous movie by any standard.

Goddamn, I hate to be the Token to your Tyler Perry but these weekend boffice posts crack me up so much. It\’s the only way to deal with these movies. I know if I had to watch and report on crap like this, I would be 10x more nihilistic than you, so I applaud your strength.
