View Full Version : Johnny Depp
... turned up at the UCLA
Medical Center/Pediatric Unit in his Captain Jack Sparrow drag. He spent a lot of time with the little patients, and
never broke character. The kids LOVED him.

Guy does a lot of stuff, like that. He\'s thought to be not only one of
the finer artists, but one of the best people, in that industry.
BTW-- After the filming of \"Pirates,\" he
missed his family. So, he immediately sped off to Europe. When he got home, he remembered that he still had his
costume dental prosthetics in-- and the guy who could take them out was 6,000 miles away. ROFL!

I certainly thought he was pretty damn good in Pirates, almost
the making of the film.
Well ok, perhaps I wouldn\'t go that far (I\'m not gay or \'out).

You opinion is shared by a lot of
folks, honey. That performance is very highly regarded.
Depp´s one of the best and
most talented actors around and just not appreciated enough (by Hollywood). That Oscar nomination was long
overdue!! He´s dead cool /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

There might have been a little artistic politics involved, is the
consensus. Because the flick was gorgeous, but too long-- some people loved it, some found it \"the best cure for
insomnia.\" I couldn\'t watch the whole thing, myself. Billy Crystal got in a couple of digs about the length.
There has been an ongoing issue that no sci-fi/fantasy flick has ever been seriously considered for an academy
award. Nominations, but no wins.
Spielberg was dissed by the academy for a long time, because they pronounced
his flicks \"too comic book.\" So, he came back and shoved \"Schindler\'s List\" up their noses. Since then,
he has been taken very seriously.
There is some discussion re: whether Sofia Coppola is really that good a
director, yet, too. But, no woman has ever hitherto won, either.
Being a Sci Fi fan myself, I
don\'t think there is a lot of bias that goes on.
I can tell you, there are just not a lot of good ones out
there.
I guess comedy though has the same gripe.
As for Fantasy, that is a bit different than sci-fi.
All
I know is I fell a sleep in the theater during the first two Lord of the Rings and would rather give TM, Ash, DST
and Dogsbutt a sponge bath than see the third.
That stuff is for people who read Harry Potter books.

Me, too. I go to movies to be entertained. Thought, I DID think \"Schindler\" was a tour de
force. Though \"Schindler\" was PROBABLY the wrong choice of flick to see the day after I was laid off from a job.
<g>
Movie trivia-- Sly Stallone was first choice for the Indiana Jones role. He turned it down, and
Harrison Ford was cast.
Movie trivia about Indiana Jones-- Indie was supposed to fight the guy with the sword--
not shoot him. But, Ford had caught disentery, and had to urgently leave the set. But the shot was so funny, it was
wrapped.
More movie trivia about Ford-- When Harrison Ford was called in for a the first \"Star Wars\"
reading, he was told that he would NOT be considered for the part. He was just to read against the actors for some
of the other roles. He was a little disgusted, so he read it \"wise ass.\" Lucas liked it, and he was cast.

Cage
aux Folles? OUI!
Actually, I have an old copy of \"L\'Histoire d\'Adele H.\" AND the Dutch/French flick,
\"The Vanishing.\" So, I DO like SOME dark stuff. <g>
BTW-- AVOID the American version of \"The
Vanishing.\" It\'s just BAD. Seems like when we Americans remake stuff, we get too obvious and heavy handed.
The ONLY good American remake that I can think of, right now, is \"The Outrage,\" which was a remake of
\"Roshomon.\"

of a story would have been nice. I mean the ship sinks but that´s all that happens
/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif the characters were rubbish and were too boring (and too

production - the ship etc but taken the sript of A night to remember, or at least in this direction, it good have
been great IMO

it sucks, characters having personailities is something like film suicide :P

Well the story of the
Lord of the rings would probably be difficult to comprehend without reading the books first, but first of all it
requires a certain way of perception the west has largely lost (numbed by all the cheap stories i would say). The
movie went too far with it\'s hour long happyend (two words and sixty minutes of tears and hugging), surfing
legolas and leaving out important parts of the story and coming up with new ones Tolkien wouldn\'t dream of. The
original story however, is valuable in the sense of 1)having more depth than anything published in the last century
2)ressurecting our sense for mythology (not in all cases, obviously). Unlike the movie, the book was aimed at an
educated audience.
Out of curiosity, I would like to ask the people who didn\'t like the story whether they have
read and enjoyed some of the real classics like Dante\'s Divine comedy, Goethe\'s Faust etc, or reaching into a
more recent period, Exupery\'s Little prince. What all of those have in common (and LOTR too, to a certain degree)
is their philosophical symbolism, which not everybody really feels. The Little prince is a brilliant example of a
book that some people consider a brilliant probe into the human being, and for others its just plain bullsh*t.
</font><blockquote><font

Exupery\'s Little prince.

LOVE the little prince! It´s a classic and a must read for everyone! If you have kids, give them this book to
read, you can´t go wrong with it imo /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif I also had it the audio on

Rakesh
03-01-2004, 12:59 PM
Point is that Exupery is
a faerytale for grownups. The apparent story is simple, but the nearly infantile form hosts ideas that could be put
in top philosophers\' work and nobody would complain:) This is the beauty of it.
yes, I agree, it´s a simple
read but deep. That´s why it´s great for children too I think /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif I
don´t think that a great book needs to be pretentiously formulated to make it intelligent.
Rakesh
03-01-2004, 01:56 PM
Quite the opposite.
Anybody can wrap those ideas in 400 pages of dull text full of foreign words, but those who can put it simply so
that it speaks right to the soul are the real bad a*ses.

I\'ve always thought Depp
was a class act. The thing at the kids\' hospital just further illustrates that.
I got a kick out of an
interview that Johnny Depp gave around the time of the release of \"Pirates\".
He said that his
characterization of Capt. Sparrow was based on a combination of two \"personnae\" that he might someday like to
portray.
Captain Jack was Depp\'s blending of the traits of both Keith Richards and
Pepe\' Le Pew.

I kinda wish he\'d won
Best Actor; would\'ve been great to see him recognized by an organization he clearly could give a sh*t about.
/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
Still, it\'s
hard to argue with Sean Penn. Or Bill Murray.
(Cheers to Sophia Coppola, BTW!

You know Penn could give a sh!t about Hollywood too though. Murray was great in lost in
translation. I actually got to see him in New Jersey last summer. Anyway, Penn still deserved it more, and every
director knows having him is huge. Even Terrence Mallick.
Depp is great, I respect him alot too, but I still
don\'t think he is as good, and Pirates of the Carribean was torture. It was a movie for seven-year-olds and he
did a good job, but no big deal.
Alot of Depp\'s movie choices have been annoying, his characters all seem to
take place in the 1800s.
pirates of the caribbean is
a very good film! Depp is simply hilarious.
SOrry, it just didn\'t
stimulate me intellectually, I don\'t know how stuff like that holds people\'s attention span, but apparently
some people enjoy the stuff, I guess.

bjf,
True enough
(regarding Penn). He did deserve it.
Still, it\'s unfortunate that, more often than not, \"Oscar-worthy\"
means \"loads o\' makeup and/or histrionics.\"
Coppola and co. did the most with the least.
Holmes
p.s. Long live Mr. Depp! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

The documentary
category always seems to have the most interesting films.
At least Errol Morris won, finally, as well.
But I
wish I had access to see more of those docs, they just aren\'t widely available. I can get him around here, but
that means knowing what the art theaters are playing, and I do not keep track of that.

bjf, if you want
intellectual stimulation, try READING the lord of the rings (I know you said you\'re not gonna do it)...
And BTW
the pirates isn\'t the kind of movie you expect to be stimulating. You expect it to be fun.
Basically, the entire
movie would be sooo pathetic without Johnny bringing a permanently drunk cynical element....

What actor has

A. Tom

B. Bruce Willis
C. Tom Hanks
D. Harrison Ford

The answer is Harrison Ford.

However, Cruise

Well, Chuck Norris-- not that much an actor, but popular on TV, sometimes.
In his early movies, he is hairy as a bear- esp. his back. For his TV series, he looks like he\'s been lasered--
no fur.
