Is that a sparrow on Johnny's head?

I think he's channeling Crowfoot.

I don't get it! It's supposed that Tonto is The Long Ranger's indian sidekick. An indian is an indian, and Johnny Depp is just... weird.

You only need to consider two words:

Gore Verbinski.

The director of The Ring, The Mexican, Rango (for which he won a Best Animation Director Oscar™) and, of course, the first three Pirates movies can do no wrong. He's spectacularly talented.

It's pretty clear to me that he went to his buddy Depp and said, "How about The Lone Ranger?" and then somehow after some tequila shots they got the crazy idea that Depp should play Tonto.

Here's my tribute to the Verbinski Pirates trilogy!

I do have a a deep love for Verbinski and I do love his pirate epic. You get Johnny Depp away from Tim Burton and throw in some goofy character he can play and it's usually is golden. Captain Jack is inspired. That grin he gets on his face when the shit is about to go done never gets old for me.

I can read your stuff but I can't comment. Too bad. Lots of cool things to look through Jordan. Sorry I got to it so late but that's how I sometimes like to consume my good pop culture.

I had to shut off comments since I was getting a ton of spam. I'm fixing the system. (Perils of existing on your own, away from Blogger.) Sorry about that.
