Also, in regards to: "... Johnny is capable of singing. He just didn't seem assed to do it, though..."You're absolutely right. (http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20155516_20155530_20155983_2,00.html)
Specifically: "'I was talking to people and they were saying, Well, of course you're going to get a singing teacher,'' he says. ''And I said, 'Oh, yeah-yeah! Of course I will. Yeah.' '' Instead, Depp ran as far from formal instruction as he could. ''I just didn't see the character developing with me doing scales in front of a piano and a vocal teacher going, 'No, no — bring it up from the bollocks,' '' he says. ''That kind of thing would have been a disaster. I would still be rehearsing right now. Or I'd have been fired.''"
So. Yeah. I absolutely couldn't agree with you more on EVERYTHING you said. Good movie, good adaptation in general, all of which is ruined by the two main characters blowing.
