LOL Another great comment, I always look forward to your comments, pardoner! Cheers! 😀
Thanks Mike .. but i think i better qualify some of my ‘know it all’ comments. Firstly, a *20%” pay cut for JD means he will likely only make a lousy 40 million dollars??? (just a guess) instead of 50 million – more wampum than the rest of us will cowboys will see in seven lifetimes. Hell i woulda done it for a lousy 10,000 bucks. (But nobody would want to see me) If Johnny really wanted to be a pal he coulda done it for a percentage of profit … and probably made next to nothing. (After all. this isn’t Star Wars).
As for me saying it’s a “comedy” … well … it’s a bit dark. A lotta people getting killed and blown up in there. Black Humor? Red Humor? How about an Action Comedy. ??
Outta here.
Cheers for some insightful points well made! 😀
The cost of the film isn’t Depps fault. And he actually took a 20% pay cut to get the movie made. I wont comment at this point on the movies virtues – or lack thereof, but I do think there is a bit of what I call the ‘Kevin Costner Syndrome’ going on here – whereby the Critics were just waiting – like vultures – to knock Costner off his high horse after his massive success with Dances with Wolves – as they blistered him mightily for Waterworld. Likewise they were also seeking the same after Depps (and Bruckheimer’s) recent massive box offices successes – especially with the Pirates movies.
I think this movie will eventually recover its money though – because there are indications that the fans are ignoring the critics – as in the Rotten Tomatoes reviews where there is about a 40% gulf of opinion between the critics opinions the viewers. But it’s certain not to make what they surely hoped for.
I must also say that I feel some of the negative reaction is exaggerated. Is there really any portrayal of Native by a White actor that won’t find criticism? Depp had more than one Native advisor with him no the set – so he was conscious of this and made some attempt there. But really folks, though it’s OK to dislike Johnny… the movie is a comedy !!! As were the Pirate movies.
Lighten UP !!!
Enough for now … Kimosabe.
LOL
If anything it will be worse, fun to watch them crash and burn though 😀
Reblogged this on LAMBORGHINI.
Well, it is my article, so that cool! 🙂
Garry keeps getting confused. He doesn’t realize the article isn’t really on your site at all. But now he has found it, so you will hear from him again.
