it would be so fine to see your face at my door  


HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOHNNY!


I am most aggrieved that we won't get to see each other this year, and I'm sure you've peeved too--WTF, Universal?! But I'll be there for The Rum Diary, or Imaginarium, or PotC 4 or 5 or 19 or whatever the hell we get to. And then we can go hang out on the island: that VF article was pure awesomeness incarnate. ("Oh shit, a barracuda! Come look! It's the only species more terrifying than a terrier dog.") We'll have a daiquiri (strawberry, please) and crank some tunes (naturally, since we are soulmates, the song mentioned in the article, "All I Have to Do is Dream," is one I grew up listening to--this shit doesn't even surprise me anymore, you know). Until then, have a wonderful 46th and many happy returns. I am now going to crank some Stones in your honor.

All my love,
the bestest fangirl ever xxx

Hee, we surely will! And y'all can be all fancy and talk about wine. ;) You know he's a fan.

(P.S., it seems that the universe does not want me to see Three Kings. When I rented it last year, the VHS was too damaged to watch. Today it came from Netflix and the disc was majorly cracked. I ordered a replacement and it should be here Thursday, but it's the PRINCIPLE.)

Heh, its awesomeness is too much for the library and Netflix to handle. They're like, "A movie where Mark Wahlberg can act?!! BLASPHEMY!!!"

Or maybe it just got damaged when George and Crazy O. Russell were beating each other up. One or the other. But now I'm determined to see it just because I'm being denied. I SHALL SEE WHAT I LIKE, THANK YOU!

♥ Love the icon!

Yayz! Happy Birthday Johnny! :D

Hee, the icon is perfect. :D
Dear Prudence: John Dillinger[info]light_inaugust on June 9th, 2009 09:34 pm (UTC)
Johnny! I will watch him in anything, which begs the question: Why are people complaining nowadays over a next Pirate installment, or the possibility of him starring as Batman's next nemesis? We should all be throwing our hands up in the air and celebrating the fact that awesome actors like Depp are still alive and well. No matter what the plot is, I'll watch the movie if he's in it. :)

I think my favorites have to be his collaborations with Burton obviously, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, and I really enjoyed From Hell.

Well, I'll admit PotC 3 was...a bit odd, but I found it profoundly enjoyable anyway, and I'd watch a million more installments. :D I think it'll work if they just don't try to make it overly complicated, which was At World's End's problem, I daresay. And I can't say I'm fully onboard for him as the Riddler or whatever it was, just because it seems too easy--cast someone currently super-famous in a super-highly anticipated movie--but I totally think he could do it. I especially loved the rumours about Angie being Catwoman as well, since I love Johnny and my David loves Angie and we're both huge Bat-dorks; it was casting designed just for us. :D But as you said, if he's onboard, then I am. Even with movies of his that I haven't thought were that good, once I hear his explanation for taking the role I'm like "oh, OK, well, when you put it that way, that's totally logical/awesome." Heh.

Oh, yes, the movies with Tim are basically all huge wins. (6 roles, 4 Golden Globe nominations and one win--you do the math.) WEGG is a wonderful performance, but it makes me so sad to watch it, because I can tell how messed up he was at the time; he's said he was in a bad place personally (breaking up with Winona, I think) and you can just see it in the movie and...aww. :( And yay, I'm glad someone likes From Hell! A lot of comic nerds like myself are really picky about it because it didn't stick close to the novel, but it was actually pretty close to history (the crime scenes were, like, exact), and to me that's just as important, if not more. Plus:



That helps too. :9

*Dies*

THAT IS TOO HOT. I love that scene, and yeah, I really need to buy this movie on DVD now! I know a lot of people gave it flack (and I haven't read the graphic novel--yet) but I think overall it was a really enjoyable thriller.

As much as I love At World's End, it was all over the place, I don't think it knew exactly what it wanted to do, but I loved the ending where he floats away to find the fountain of youth. Which clearly he has found because he is not aging! lol. So beautiful.

A lot of people bitched about his accent, too, and I thought it was fine! It was just...English! It's not that hard, for heaven's sake. Haters to the left, as always.

No, you're right, it definitely was. I remember an EW article where Gore Verbinski couldn't even explain the plot satisfactorily. :D Orlando said something like that one day they'd shoot a scene with him going through a door and it would be a year later before they'd shoot him coming out the other side, so I think they just got in over their heads and it was...weird, but I would totes love the Fountain of Youth thing. Just make it about Jack and Barbossa chasing each other around and being awesome and I'll be happy as pie.

I can't believe he is 46, i've been loving him since... forever O_O
she's a hurricane in all kinds of weather: Johnny[info]la_petite_singe on June 9th, 2009 10:19 pm (UTC)
I know! He just plain doesn't look his age and never will, I think. It'll be funny in four years when he's 50 and I'm 25. O____o
Nicolejacks[info]coffeebits on June 11th, 2009 03:34 pm (UTC)
Hugh is 50 today :X he kinda does looks his age but i still love him.

haha no kidding xD
time is scary

I was wondering when your b-day shout-out would come today! :D I am so mad @ IMDb; they don't mention him in their birthday list thing. >:(
Nicolejacks[info]coffeebits on June 11th, 2009 03:49 pm (UTC)
boycott imdb!!!!
Claire[info]scornedsaint on June 10th, 2009 12:39 am (UTC)
Johnny Depp doesn't do anything for me, but this made me lol.
she's a hurricane in all kinds of weather: Johnny[info]la_petite_singe on June 10th, 2009 02:49 am (UTC)
Well, he's a very dedicated reader of this journal, ya know. Can't live without my endless pithy opinions on mindless minutia. And really, who can?
Brittany[info]unexpectedhours on June 10th, 2009 01:53 am (UTC)
My friend and I have a sleepover every year for his birthday. :) We stay up until eight or nine in the morning and watch all the movies of his that we can before we pass out. Ha ha.

Happy birthday, lover! ♥

THAT IS FULLY EPIC. I never thought of doing that! Which ones did you get through? :D

Johnny! ♥ ♥ ♥ I feel lame that this is my only Johnny icon.

Wait... did I miss something? Did Public Enemies get pushed back? I am really behind in movie news.
she's a hurricane in all kinds of weather: Johnny[info]la_petite_singe on June 10th, 2009 11:33 pm (UTC)
Oh, tsk! Well, my extra userpics ran out not too long ago, so now I only have...four, which for me is not a lot. :D

And no, it's not pushed back or anything, there's just no NYC premiere, meaning I can't go up there for a day and really see him. ;) I was planning to do this for, like, months--I was gonna take my BFF and have him sign my book (you know, the book the movie's based on) and wear my dress with the birds and I was allllll excited, and then I called Universal and they were like "LOL no." :( But I shan't be stopped! There'll be another!
That's a secret I'll never tell.: PE || Dale&Saul || BFFF! ♥[info]short_chicka10 on June 15th, 2009 02:46 am (UTC)
OMG, That pic of Johnny Depp kills me! *drool* And I completely forgot Johnny's birthday was on the 9th. Wow, now I feel like a really bad Johnny fan. HAPPY BELATED BDAY TO JOHNNY!!!
she's a hurricane in all kinds of weather: Johnny[info]la_petite_singe on June 15th, 2009 08:50 pm (UTC)
That VF photoshoot was amaaaazing, including the outtakes. ♥ Tsk tsk, though! That's five fangirl demerits! You can make up for it by seeing the movie lots of times. ;D

a little bit off-top
Come to think of it, only a little.
I'm too stupid to register properly and comment on fanfiction.net, so I'm writing to you here. Your "Stuck in the middle with you" is fantastic! And with every chapter it gets more and more interesting. What a fight! And I see the difference in their stiles - I like it! And sappy story about lost Sands's love - poor girl. I'd like to see her face when she knows the truth.
In other words - please, continue!
(And sorry if my English is too lame.)

Re: a little bit off-top
Wow, thanks for the great comment! :D I've been wondering if anyone at all was reading, ha ha. I'm working on the next chapter but I'm being lazy; now I'll definitely make sure to get to it. ;) I like that part because she thinks she's being all badass and clever, but she's totally got it wrong, heh. That comes up in the next chapter. Thanks for reading! ♥

Hi! I've seen you around on [info]fandomsecrets and [info]ship_manifesto and you seem like an awesome person...:-D. Would you mind if I friended you? (And I'm sorry I commented here--I would have commented on a friends-only post if you had one!)

FS is totally my crack; I comment there way too much. :D Sure, friend away! I'll friend back. My journal's maybe half-locked and half-unlocked, so it's all good. ;)
Kelsey: [info]fan_of_miggie on June 17th, 2009 03:13 am (UTC)
Haha, I wish I could comment more, but the entries cause the computer I'm using to freeze up, so I'm gonna wait until I get a new computer to read the secrets again...XD. Yay, awesome...thanks!
