(I take the piss out of the French near the bottom of this blog...sorry? I don't really hate the French.)
Here's a justified rant at a semi-talented wannabe rock star...no not me, Johnny Depp.
Johnny Depp
The main thing that bugs me about this guy, is the fact that he overacts in every movie he's in. Someone needs to tell this dude to chill out, he doesn't need to make every character he plays "out of this world", we get it, you want to be a bit of a rebel when it comes to playing a part...but it's been done to death mate!
'Till next time
I was watching the original Willy Wonka the other day and wow, everything was so shit about this film that it made it the greatest film ever...does that make sense? Each time I watch it I think "that doesn't look real, my mum could do better" but of course, they made it that way on purpose (and decent technology wasn't around at the time). Gene Wilder was fantastic, he really made everything so believable. Dreams could come true with that guy. The film in general is awesome.
Fast forward a few decades to '05 and there is a remake, this time it's called "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" subtle name change, but essentially the same thing. This time with Indian uumpaa luumpaas and squirrels instead of chickens or whatever they were. Johnny Depp is Willy Wonka, since Tim Burton directed the fucking thing, who would have expected anyone else? Anyways, I had a hard time enjoying that movie...not because of the dodgy animating, not because of the bad casting of Charlie, not because of the laziness of them old people in bed together, not because of the unrealistic house of crap that the Bucket family lived in, but because of Johnny Depp...WTF did he do to poor Willy Wonka? ....Made him a fricking lunatic! As if he wasn't loony enough in the original.
In this sad pathetic excuse for a remake, Johnny Depp turned the confident, outgoing, hilarious Willy Wonka, into a...creepy nutbag with daddy issues. As if that's not bad enough, there was some awkward dancing by Charlie's grandad, Helena Bonham Carter's teeth made her less sexy (she's still fit though) and the ending was worse than when Frodo got on that boat (THE FUCK WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?!?!).
Then there's Pirates of the Caribbean...actually, I couldn't sit through more than 20 minutes of that film, it might not have been down to ole' Depp that one.
Sleepy Hollow...'nuff said.
Well, I could go on and on about how crap he is, but I don't have the energy in my calloused fingertips anymore. He should stay with the French in France as far as I'm concerned, or Hell...same difference. (Ouch...yeah too mean, the English in me still hates the French even if I'm in Sweden now...it was really hard to watch the Da Vinci Code the other night because of the French.) I kid, there's nothing wrong with the French.
You can blame the lack of writing skill in this blog on Johnny Depp as well.
'Till next time
(P.S. I don't actually hate Johnny Depp...I'm exaggerating for comedic effect. Sue me. It's also an opinion..kinda like a movie review if you want...no need to hate is there?)
