Johnny Depp: You Know, Maybe America Isn't So BadHe fled our country due to the mythical crushing of dissent here, and our alleged puritanism. Granted, we take a dim view of men who publicly masturbate on our subways while eyefucking a lone, frightened female passenger, and sure, we're not as enlightened as the Europeans when it comes to the "pause that refreshes" on public transportation, but it can't be that Johnny Depp is that hard up to need such indulgences. Hell, he's had at least one successful project since 21 Jump Street. One hit in 20+ years... not too shabby. But now France is all chaotic and stuff and he wants to come home. At least we won't have to hear him whining about how violent America is, or how we're such bastards about our racial inequalities. posted by Ace at 09:39 AM
CommentsOne you say ? Not to nitpick, but I count THREE in the last 2 years alone. Not that I'm a big fan of whining hollywood liberals, but I'm sure your stinging criticism has just devastated the poor guy. DEVASTATED Posted by: Sherard on November 19, 2005 10:09 AM
What are the other two? I can only think of Pirates of the Carribean. Posted by: ace on November 19, 2005 10:12 AM
Depp is one of the best actors in the world, may be THE best. Watch Edward Scissorhands, Donnie Brasco, Ed Wood, Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Pirates, Finding Neverland... the guy's a genius. He's also a whiny delusional liberal crybaby, so don't count on him not continuing to whine once he gets back over here. It's what crybabies do. Posted by: Greg on November 19, 2005 10:20 AM
Depp is not one of the best actors in the world. Stop it now. Snap out of it. Posted by: lauraw on November 19, 2005 10:40 AM
He was good in Secret Window. Posted by: zetetic on November 19, 2005 10:58 AM
Yes he was. Is itjust me, or does it seem like he's another in the 'thousand mile stare' school of acting? Posted by: lauraw on November 19, 2005 11:12 AM
My wife and pre-teen daughter giggle like a pair of sorority girls everytime Depp's name is mentioned. Their eyes light up and they bump into walls while waiting to see one of his films. It is a cross that I must bear. Btw, how about a link to the story, Ace? Posted by: SWLiP on November 19, 2005 11:16 AM
Smiling at a woman as he got Little Elvis ready for Vegas, if you know what I mean. But Europeans -- determined to prove how jaded and filled with ennui they are (ennui is a French word meaning "envy, venom, and bullshit") I just had to copy and paste this here. lol! At least we won't have to hear him whining about how violent America is, or how we're such bastards about our racial inequalities. Not only will we still have to hear it, we will have to hear it often. Bleh. I refuse to see his and the other asshat's movies. Posted by: on November 19, 2005 11:18 AM
Okay, I have to ask this: Ace, what character does your penis dress up as when he is putting on a big performance? Or, was the Elvis reference a dead give away? Posted by: on November 19, 2005 11:20 AM
the 'thousand mile stare' school of acting? That's not "method" per se, that's the years of hard drugs and Hollywood lifestyle. Posted by: Purple Avenger on November 19, 2005 12:04 PM
OhHo! Scared of the hoi-poloi are we Johnny? Posted by: Iblis on November 19, 2005 12:14 PM
My wife and pre-teen daughter giggle like a pair of sorority girls Over Johnny Depp?? He's kind of ferret-looking and effeminate for a heartthrob. Posted by: lauraw on November 19, 2005 12:17 PM
Kissing Johnny Depp wd be like kissing an ashtray. And don't tell me you men haven't thought about it. Posted by: on November 19, 2005 01:24 PM
lauraw: I'm perfectly happy to let them swoon over the androgenous one. He makes me look positively butch by comparison. Posted by: SWLiP on November 19, 2005 02:48 PM
He was good in From Hell. And I can't abide the man. He didn't say he was coming back, though. I don't know how much property he owns, but he's got one house in England f'sure. And if I recall correctly, after making some mildly anti-Bush remarks in Germany in the runup to the election, he caught himself up and kind of apologized. Or at least backtracked. In other words, whiny lib with the occasional good instinct to stick a sock in it. Either that, or it was a business decision. That's okay, too. Posted by: S. Weasel on November 19, 2005 03:19 PM
There are actors I won't watch because of their politics. (Sean Penn, George Clooney) What I resent is that these guys get a pass. They get to state their position, but they never have to answer for it, defend it, justify it or debate it. They have all the best of it. Live in the best places and never bear the consequeces of the policies they advocate for the rest of us. Jane Fonda has never even considered the millions of people slaughtered by the Khmir Rouge. The killing fields happened because the US left Vietnam. Well, she helped in the slaughter as did the rest of the antiwar movement. Posted by: thgrant on November 19, 2005 05:24 PM
This is nuclear powered self loathing. Aside from everything else, the NYT staff is about 80% Jewish. They can only expect the warmest treatment from their Iranian heroes. Soft as a bucket of shit. The dominant idiot gene has drained the pool completely. Posted by: Radical Redneck on November 19, 2005 11:13 PM
The link didn't work for me, but I get the picture. It's not as if defending totalitarian enemies of the US is new tothe NYT. Still, it's a little serendipidous that I happened to be watching a documentary on Iran courtesy of "ashter" at Omar's Iraq The Model when you mentioned it. Not exactly upbeat. Posted by: VRWC Agent on November 19, 2005 11:23 PM
Penn, Clooney and Depp are all ass clowns. Having said that, They are all fine actors who I enjoy watching.. But all actors do is pretend to be someone else. Say someone else's words. Act like they are still in the Jr. High paly. Just STFU and do a couple of f*ckin steps for us, will ya Spider? Posted by: fugazi on November 20, 2005 01:08 AM

Dude trolls a city council meeting about permitting yet another mosque by promising the mosque will destroy America
"All women who are overweight or obese will have to wear burka. 10,000 steps per day, low carb."
Months ago, I reported that the final Zodiac cypher had been cracked and the name of the killer revealed. And the name of the killer turned out to be someone suspected in the unsolved Black Dahlia murder. The general tone of my mention of this was "serious you guys, this is real."
Well, it's not real. It's total bullshit. Sorry about that. I did two things: 1, I bought into something, a conspiracy theory really, because it was new and exciting. And 2, I allowed a self-declared "expert" to snow me over with his "expert" claims about solving ciphers, an alleged expertise I could not challenge because I know practically nothing about codebreaking. I remember being similarly swindled by self-declared "experts" babbling about "chromatic aberrations." (Although I didn't really buy into that, but I found it "interesting" and I wasn't strongly skeptical about it. Hey they said they're "experts," they must know that they're talking about, right?) I screwed up. It won't be the last time, I'm sure.
TJM definitively ranks the films of Andrei Tarkovsky and explains the joys of discovering older movies over anticipating new ones.

He was their living lawn jockey, period. They won't say that 'cause they're sensitive and down with his struggle and all. He was there to appease and flatter their sense of being uplifters of the oppressed. In truth, he served as their living lawn jockey -- no more, no less, and unworthy of even a second thought on their part. Tokenism, pure and simple.-- Krebs v Carnot

The Short Unhappy Life of a Russian Soldier: Why recruits die in 20-30 minutes
Interesting video. Some key parts: drones were responsible for 70-80% of all battlefield deaths in mid-2025, and I bet it's higher now. The Russian army is incredibly corrupt. Men get assigned to the most dangerous frontline units, the "Storm" units, unless they pay a superior $2,000 to be assigned to a different unit. Furthermore, there is often no real training for recruits -- commanders pocket the money that would have gone towards fuel and ammo costs incurred during training. Much "training" consists just of taking a single picture of soldiers doing something soldier-y, like fording a river, and publishing that as proof that the training was done. Even when it is done, training is only two weeks long. Recent Comments
