Johnny Depp

Maybe I'll give Dead Man another viewing. I rarely take things in fully the first time I see it anyway. Not to have too shallow of a moment buuuuuut, he was soooo gorgeous in Dead Man!

But yes, the Libertine is fantastic. I was moved and I know what you mean WhiteLinen about those "pansy" deaths so many characters have. "I'm dying of some horrible disease, yet I look amazing doing it!"

I'm dying to see what his kids looks like.......they sure do a great job of keeping them away from the paparrazi.

Johnny Depp is an amazing actor.

The same thing with me, I find that most films get better when you see them twice...I mean if it has in the first place interested me. Of course something like Gigli won't get any better no matter how many times you see it!

Even though I might have very negative things to say of some of Depp's public image etc today, that is very true. Many the celebs are "it's so horrible that they take pictures of my children" and then they take them to Academy Awards with them. Depp isn't one of them. I hope his children grow up to be sane, not some new Paris Hiltons and Nicole Richies.

I see Johnny as the type to spoil his kids and make Vanessa be the disciplinarian. Just a feeling. I've seen pictures of them and they're adorable. Usually look happy so that's a plus.

^I read an interview with Vanessa where she said that pretty much is the case lol

Yes, they don't look "stressed" like many celeb kids...it seems like they have no idea they are being photographed or about the media circus,they look like any normal kids. There's isn't that many photographs of them either. Which is,of course, a very good thing.

But yeah, we can never know what's real what's not.

For real?

I'm psychic! Yesssss!

He was the hottest thing ever when I saw him in "CryBaby." It was a terrible movie, but duuuuude. He's got amazing cheekbones.

 

[Whitelinen]

hmm..he does have a nice set of cheekbones, but I don't know if I find his look that sexy. When he was younger he looked too "babyface" and nowadays he looks too much like a hobo.

I like other things in him than his looks. I think I'm losing all my interest on him (the 'new' him) little by little though...I don't like his choice of films lately (the blockbusters, the 20$+ salary), or his public image. He seems to be quite a hypocrite.

You are really harsh in your comments! what makes you say that? I agree that he mellowed quite a bit since he is a dad and that his negative comments about the United states (when he afterwards denied what was written in the German mag) were not the greatest thing he has made but still he remains one of the only actor in Hollywood who doesn't cheat with celebrity and his work, well, in my opinion...

 

[Whitelinen]

I found his opinion about America quite right, I think it is good that people start to question America. What bothers me is that he kind of went and apologized for it. I think that is kind of hypocrite, even though that wasn't what I meant in my last post.

I meant that he has become quite a bit like other celebrities...he's always talking about his family, less and less about his actual work (and at the same time he says he wants to do interesting work and that he wants to be private about his private life. Plus nobody even doubts that he might not be as good father as he says he is. They do doubt Kate Moss, but never Johnny Depp). There are so many interviews where the topic seems to be his newfound happiness and his kids, and the upcoming film is just worth a couple of questions. He still keeps up the rebel-image, but sounds like every other LA celeb. His films have become more and more mainstream, I agree that he is a great, great actor, but come on, two sequels for POTC?? CATCF was another "big" film, Finding Neverland was a relatively small British film but the Miramax people made it a big Oscar-hunt. Nowadays, when I hear he's taking on some project, my reaction isn't "oh, that is going to be great!" it is "how much money is he going to make with that", the films lack originality. The "smaller" films he does are still great, but the other projects he takes are just plain Hollywood blockbusters. He's the most bankable (or one of them) star, he has his face on a cereal box (he used to say that would happen in his worst nightmares), he acts with people like Orlando Bloom. I can't quite define it, but he has become a "blockbuster boy". His projects used to be interesting, nowadays it is just glitz and a wacky character. He doesn't seem to be doing indie or anything like that anymore, I can't imagine him taking a project like Dead Man or LA without a Map anymore. Just something safe, which will earn him an Oscar nomination and a lot of media coverage. And people who admire his looks of course.

I'm not really a fan of that look of his..that moustache and hat..I don't know, it just somehow reminds me of POTC and I sooo loath that movie..

I must say that I agree with you about his last projects (secret window, POTC... ) but I also think it's nice he is doing stuff his kids might like. I really hope he would still do films like "dead man" because that is the kind of films I like. Otherwise, I don't know, I get your point but I have the feeling that he just doesn't care about the whole media thing anymore (cereal box...) but I might be wrong

 

[Whitelinen]

He makes money of it. I agree that he might not care how it looks, but he is making money of it all the time.

I know that many actors want to do children's stuff when they become parents, but Depp's gone a bit too far...and I still think that if he so much wants to please his children the best way is to be with them.

I liked Secret Window (aswell as the other smaller films he has done lately,which I consider to be The Libertine, Secret Window, Once upon a time in Mexico) I thought it was kind of smaller production...they almost didn't get it to cinemas here (and believe me, there's a huge POTC-following here), and it didn't get so much attention...But was it a blockbuster-type of film, am I mistaking? What do you think?

 

[phileasfog24]

Johnny has become really popular in France so even when his films are not that good people are nonetheless going to see them ("the ninth gate" which I found dumb and which was a big hit!).
As for "secret window" it just didn't do it for me, but I don't know if it can be considered a commercial movie. It's sure is a smaller movie than POTC but to me it is not a very "artistic" one. Just a fair one but without much interest. But I guess it depends on the taste of everyone and what you are looking for in a movie.

 

[Whitelinen]

Yes, everyone has different opinions

I think Ninth Gate wasn't one of Polanski's best films (I've never liked his films that much though)...I think it was kind of dumb too. It had its moments,and a lot of good actors doing good work, but nonetheless, the result was a bit boring. It isn't really,really bad either, kind of okey-ish.And it wasn't a Hollywood blockbuster!

 

[Captain_Lydia]

I loved The Ninth Gate, but I'm fascinated by history and satan through it so the idea of all those ancient books on the subject just really fascinated me. I can admit it wasn't cinematic brilliance, but I love it.

Also enjoyed Johnny's character in it. He did a great job.

 

[Whitelinen]

That character was one of the best things. And yes, the idea was interesting, but it didn't quite work on the screen. The atmosphere was great though.
