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.

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 [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] I also had it the audio on

yes, I agree, it´s a simple
read but deep. That´s why it´s great for children too I think [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I
don´t think that a great book needs to be pretentiously formulated to make it intelligent.
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.
Speaking of foreign words,
what does your signature mean? (I never had Latin)

Cool! Johnny Depp is a rarity. I loved his response to the
interviewer who asked him if he was going to tear up the town after the ceremonies: \"Yeah, allll the way back
home.\" [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Always had great
respect for a guy who chooses movies based on the character he would like to play. Good sh!t.
anyone see don juan demarco
or something?
Yeah! Was gonna mention
that. Classic movie.
Secret Window looks great.

Would you ladies let
Johnny Depp make love to you....is that a easy question? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
By the
way it\'s hard to believe Johnny Depp is 40, he looks 20 years younger than that, not that 40 is old at all
anyhow. Good genes I guess? Keanu Reeves too.
What\'s eating Gilbert Grape?
The tatoos keep ya young,
I guess. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

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 was glad to find out I was wrong. Watching what he did with that character
was SO worth it!!!!

BTW-- He apparently stayed ENTIRLEY in
character, during his visit to the kids. He swaggered and flitted all over the unit, and told stories about pirate
life that he made up on the spot.
The medical staff are pretty happy with him.

Best Actor; would\'ve been great to see him recognized by an organization he clearly could give a sh*t about.

Still, it\'s
hard to argue with Sean Penn. Or Bill Murray.

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.

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....
