You left out “From Hell”. Depp is a great actor, why should we care about his politics. He’s not running for governor of something, is he?

John Rhys-Davies is pro-America and pro-War on Terror - though he is British. I read a transcript of a Q&A at a media convention, and he was great!

I liked “Pirates,” too.

He was lots of fun in it.

Yeah, I forgot about From Hell. I didn’t actually like that one much, but Depp was as good as ever in it. That seems to be his schtick—be very good in otherwise mediocre films. Except Pirates, which is actually very entertaining and with a good cast all the way around. Orlando Bloom could be the next Errol Flynn type. Oh, and if you didn’t stay to watch all the credits, you missed the bridge to the sequel…

The thing with actors and politics is that I personally don’t give two cents for what they think—about anything. Most of them are undereducated boobs who pretend to be other people for a living. But they have to go and shove it in our faces, and most of it is so predicatbly knee-jerk left. In most times that’s hardly worth bothering over, but these aren’t most times. Anyway, I actually refrained from jumping all over Depp initially because I didn’t much care about what he’d been quoted as saying, but thought the clarification was worth a quick comment. Sort of a “he’s not quite as bad you think” bit.

..and soon to be released: “Once Upon A Time In Mexico”. Depp as our new (tongue-in-cheek) action hero? We could do worse (asta la vista, Aulnold).
