Those glasses seem really pasted on. It's kind of weirding me out. XD

[souljelly]

Hahaha, I can't unsee this now.

[tyger66]

wow. That is.....really weird, now that I'm looking at it. It's like someone cut out a magazine picture of some sunglasses and stuck them on his face.

[(Anonymous)]

They do! You can't really see any shadows from them on his face, it's weird.

[kaijinscendre]

God, I wish he would stop making movies. Whenever I see him in a trailer, I groan. And, if that movie is him + Tim Burton? Ugh.

[(Anonymous)]

Eh, a paycheck is a paycheck, even if it's from a crappy movie.

[visp]

I think at this point he's rich as balls and been famous forever, and doesn't see that changing over a few crappy movies. He'll do what he wants - like he's done for the past decade.

[applemagpie]

I get such satisfaction seeing his movies bomb. Probably makes me a dick, but I do.

[elaminator]

I've enjoyed some of Johnny's films, but lately I haven't been interested in anything he's put out. So I can't comment on the actual quality of said films or his acting in them, but even I admit to getting a bit tired of seeing his face in trailers. And that's not something that usually happens with me, but...over-saturation is a thing.

Still, I doubt a few (or even a dozen) 'bad' films are going to ruin his career. (I don't want it to, either.)

[(Anonymous)]

didn't he leave his wife for a girl half his age? What a washed up, mid-life crisis douchebag.

Maybe.

[(Anonymous)]

I remember him at the beginning of his career on 21 Jump Street (the TV show) and A Nightmare on Elm Street - he used to be able to act in somewhat normal roles. But he's played so many quirky/weird characters that I don't think he can do normal anymore - it just becomes a caricature. And that scares him so whatever odd role comes up, he just takes it without really thinking about whether he should or not.

[(Anonymous)]

Random story: a friend of mine met him. She said he smelled like feet and that his teeth were disgusting.

[(Anonymous)]

This might be a controversial opinion.

But I really think that not only has Nicolas Cage made much better career choices over the last - I don't know, decade or 5 years or so - I think he's also been a better actor over that period, and is a better actor at this moment.

[(Anonymous)]

Wasn't most his career between 21 Jump Street and Pirates of the Caribbean odd projects that tended not to be successful?

[(Anonymous)]

I agree.

If he picks terrible roles, and acts badly, then he isn't doing his job well, and his films deserve to bomb. Hopefully he might learn a lesson and start trying again in the process.

Besides, it wouldn't hurt him at all to have some films do badly, he's loaded.

[beverlykatz]

I do agree that he's been in some crummy movies lately, but I don't think it's a new trend. There was an interesting article, can't remember where I saw it, that laid out all of the movies he's starred in, and it's been a pretty consistent pattern of sorts. He'll have a couple good movies, some crummy ones, rinse and repeat. I also don't think he's a bad actor, just that he does a lot of questionable movies (presumably for the paycheck, which isn't a bad thing).

[(Anonymous)]

I get the feeling he's just doing stuff he enjoys. Because if I was rich as he was, that's what I would do too.

Who am I kidding, I effing love my job, and even if I won the lotto I'd still be working it.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not a huge fan of him but I enjoyed Transcendence. Is that the latest movie of his you didn't like?

[(Anonymous)]

I haven't seen any Depp movies recently, but I feel the same way about Colin Farrell. The guy needs to realize he's not bland-action-hero material and go back to smaller flicks and side roles, aka where he's actually good.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm right there with ya, anon. :)

[rbhudson]

mte

[(Anonymous)]

lol doesn't he just do it to pay the bills anyways

he's said that that was what acting was to him numerous times and he always would rather be a rockstar/musician

his last few roles have kinda sucked and i'm slightly annoyed yes but the fact that the OP thinks that this will "teach him a lesson" highly seems to overestimate how much he would even care

[(Anonymous)]

Well, I am not emotionally invested in his career, though it is true that:

- he's always chosen movies which are not commercial (Jim Jarmush etc.) while accepting from time to time big budget movies to pay the rent. To me that indicates that he considers himself an 'arteest' and I am not sure if it's really justified by his body of work as a whole.

He was indeed the best thing in the '21 Jump Street' show but mostly because he was the only character with the appropriate type of adolescent looks: all the other actors looked like adults, which made their undercover premise ridiculous. And there is no denying that he was good in 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape' which I believe was his first movie. If only Leonardo diCaprio had not been chewing the scenery right left and center in the same movie, he would have gotten greater acclaim for it.

- However, since then, he's suffered the same problem (in my opinion) as Leonardo diCaprio; that's irony for you. When playing an adolescent, like in 'Scissorhands' having a baby face was an asset. But eventualy he ended up having to play adult characters and when playing adult characters, they both look like incongruous babies (recently more like wrinkled babies), unless they hide behind lots of ugly facial hair (a beard combined with long hair explain why Depp was perfect for 'Pirates of the Caribbean' for instance).

- more subjectively, someone who only dates/marries super models is someone whose attitude towards women I distrust: once or even twice is fine, I am sure that some super models are very nice women.

But ONLY dating super models? To me, that indicates someone who values a woman's appearance exclusively over her personality. Someone who moreover likes feeling morally 'superior' to the women he dates. You know, the old "she makes her living out of her looks whereas I am an 'arteest' and libe for my art".

And not just any super models, but models who notoriously share his babyish type of good looks? Somehow there is something a tad unhealthy about a grown man dating only women who look like teenage girls.

For instance, his latest ex is a famous singer, model and actress whose success was long assumed to be due to her looks (certainly not her breathy, thin voice) until she ended up getting awards for some of her roles. I think she became famous at 15 and to this day hardly looks older than 12, though to be fair, Depp is only 11 years older than she is.

And when she starts getting a few lines on her still babyish face, a normal result of reaching 40 without cosmetic surgery, just swap her for a younger model? Well, I don't know the guy, but it just seems a bit skeevy. Maybe I am being unfair and jumping to conclusions... but it gives the impression of someone who treats women like disposable items, like handkerchiefs.

OK, a bit late in the day to reply to this, but
