DEPP

Someone asked if I was going to see Johnny Depp in the chocolate movie. I said no.

First, I don't go to remakes although I guess this doesn't sorta qualify. But second, I don't want to be looking at him in this role.

I suppose I am going to have to accept that the early Depp period is over and now, what with the chocolate and two pirates coming up he is into the big movie and out of the small.

I don't go to sequels either. Two strikes on the pirates.

Our favorite is still Don Juan DeMarco with Brando and Dunaway. But there are many close seconds: Chocolat; Gilbert Grape; Donny Brasco; Blow; Sleepy Hollow; Ed Wood. Well, you get the idea. Most of them.

I guess that the thing to do is to wait it out. In another ten years or so, he will be too old for the big movie and will go back to the small.

But maybe it will not take that long. He is signed for an unfinished Hunter Thompson novel, a film where he will play a guy who is totally paralyzed and another where he escapes from prison.

Maybe he will go back to not repeating himself after the Pirates.

Oh. I did not go to see Neverland either. But I will get the DVD sometime. I can't tell you why I am holding off. Maybe it is too soppy or I am afraid of it somehow.

There. That is the deal on the Depper.
