Title: teh Depp
Post by: RollOfDimes on 22 Nov 2005, 14:38: Ahhh Johnny Depp is God. Anyone else agree?

He is an amazing actor, so awesomely unique, flippin sexeh and is basically cooler than anyone will ever hope to be. :)

My favorite movie of his is Benny and Joon, but I also love Pirates of the Caribbean, Finding Neverland, Edward Scissorhands, From Hell, Secret Window, Sleepy Hollow, Don Juan, Gilbert Grape, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory... and yeah basically all of em.

Woo!

Post by: lastclearchance on 24 Nov 2005, 07:07: My friend has a very fair criticism of Johnny Depp: as entertaining as his roles may be, they're not real people--they're all exaggerated caricatures of people. When was the last time Johnny Depp played a real person?

He was pretty real in that.

Post by: sjbrot on 24 Nov 2005, 10:06: What's Eating Gilbert Grape? might constitute real. But that's a pretty valid critisism. ALot of his roles do fall into that.
Title: teh Depp
Post by: RollOfDimes on 24 Nov 2005, 12:45: Well, he likes playing unique roles. Even the most "realistic" of them have some odd quirk, but that's life. Many of the movies he's in might have normal characters, but an abstract plot. That's one of the reasons I like him so much... hardly ever see any boring or crappy reality.

Fear and Loathing was an accurate portrayal of HST. other than that, I agree. I was really disappointed in his roles in Willie Wonka and Pirates.

What does that mean?

Post by: I is Grammar on 25 Nov 2005, 06:17: As much as I adore Johnny Depp (which I do), something that aggravates me about him is how utterly boring he is. If you ever listen to a commentary by him on one of his movies, or watch an interview on pretty much any program, you realize he is a really really dull person. He truly is a great actor, but as a person, he annoys the hell out of me.

Quoted For Truth, I reckon. I figured that out using my brain.

For the Win!

Post by: rive gauche on 25 Nov 2005, 15:04: FTW!, even?
Title: teh Depp
Post by: Hat on 25 Nov 2005, 15:29: I can't believe you left Fear and Loathing off that list. Hell, that movie is quite easily my favorite movie from the 90's for the Christopher Meloni cameo alone.

And as for the criticism that Depp only plays charicatures, I don't see many characters in movies that are anything like real people at all. The entire buisness of movies seems to be to see how far from a real person a movie character has to be before people will stop giving a crap.
Title: teh Depp
Post by: KharBevNor on 25 Nov 2005, 16:12: He played a totally realistic, and indeed historical character in Finding Neverland.
Title: teh Depp
Post by: StupidityKills on 26 Nov 2005, 01:41: Yup, one of the few actors who hasn't done a movie or role I haven't enjoyed.
Gilbert Grape is my favourite, although to be fair, DiCaprio really outshone him IMO.

Post by: drpepper_phd on 26 Nov 2005, 20:32: I used to be ignorant. Wrote him off as some pretty face loser. Then I saw Fear and Loathing. Enough said.

Post by: Merkava on 02 Dec 2005, 15:23: Johnny Depp is talented, but I'm so tired of hearing about how amazing he is. I'm starting to hate him now.

He's good, but really, people; he's not God. Not even close. Stop pretending that you know anything about acting now that you like him.

Not that I want to say everyone who likes Depp is a pretentious, trend-hopping twat; just the majority.
