Helena's Red Queen...

Alice...

We know where Johnny's star is located at (7018 Hollywood blvd) and we are going there tomorrow!!!! Whoot whoot! :happyboun:happyboun:happyboun

We will take pics! :2photo: :drool: drooling ensues.

Woohoo! :D

I added this pic into our Johnny club album as well. :D

Man did we have a hard time finding his star! It's on the opposite side of where I thought, and we kept walking and walking and we were thinking "geez I hope it not in front of the CVS or something!" Well it was on the other side of the street right in front of the SAG building! Much better!

Whoo Whoo Whoo!

Hehe... that picture is great! I love it!

Me and my hubby were talking the other day about familiar scary movie music or shows (like the Twilight Zone music) and the subject of Nightmare on Elm Street came up. We are both big scary movie fans and I have loved them since I was a kid. We were talking about scenes from the movies that we remember. I have always remembered the scene where the guy gets pulled into the water bed but didn't know until a couple of years ago that it was Johnny Depp. I really want to go rent it and watch it because it's been so long and want to see Johnny in it. I guess that was his first movie? My husband was like, "They had no idea who they had there!"

Also, did anyone ever watch a special on TV a few years back about M. Night Shaymalan (or however you spell his name) and how mysterious he is? Johnny Depp was interviewed in that special because he thought about being in one of the movies but M. Night wanted him to sign a crazy contract with all these crazy rules in it. I can't remember but I love how just came right out and talked about how weird this contract was. LOL. I need to see if I can find a youtube video for this.

I found the interview!


First, I am sooo jealous of that guy just walking up and knocking on his door. LOL. Second, it is cute how he is offering everyone food and drinks...what a nice guy! Third, my new favorite quote, "It's only cinema, ya know? It's only movies man. Just, ya know, have a good time. Step outside once in awhile. Go get a donut." - Johnny Depp. Tooo funny!

I couldn't resist... I had to add that quote to my signature. It's just too funny. LOL :p:p

...OR NOT... too many lines :( Oh well....

I sure am posting a lot on this thread a lot today... LOL... apparently, this whole documentary wasn't real. Someone called it a "mockumentary" and was just a propaganda thing. I don't know... either way, this video is funny.

so it wasn't real? I'm confused. anyway, better off he didn't work with him, I'm not a fan of Night's work, booooooring! Did you see the one with Mark Wahlberg, was it the happening? Oh man what a terrible movie. They were running away from wind!

I have no idea... apparently, sci-fi admitted that the documentary was a way to promote M.N.S movie but I don't know if what Johnny is saying is true or not. I can't figure out why he would want to be in a documentary to promote a director's movie when he's not in the movie or has never been in any of the director's movies. Are they friends? I couldn't find any information about that. :confused:

Yes! I HATED The Happening! The ending was horrible.... it was just bad.

Didn't you just love the part when the old lady smashed her head up against the glass windows to kill herself? :rolleyes: LOL

Ever since the 6th Sense he has been all downhill. Even that, the "twist" at the end I knew was coming.

I so did not know that Johnny Depp was in A Nigtht Mare on Elm Street!:eek:

Yup, his a$$ got sucked into a bed and blood squirted out everywhere! LOL

Hahahahahahaha, I haven't seen that movie in so long. I was thinking about renting it and that's when I discovered it!

Oooh you girls wait till I come back from... well I can't tell you yet, it's a surprise! hee hee hee

Ok really really mad....

Went to D23 (Disney convention) here in Anaheim on Fri. We were supposed to see Tim Burton (among others) talk about their new projects, so Tim would be talking about Alice, maybe letting us know some more about the movie since he was at Comicon. Which BTW if you remember I missed him then by 2 days.

Anyway, the *itch at the entrance of the arena was having this big power trip telling all us rejects (stragglers) that the arena was closed and was already at capacity, and that even if people came out, no one was to be let in. She was saying it like she made up the rules, but in reality all she needed to say was "fire marshall" and we would have shut the "f" up. But no, she needed to be snarky about it.

Sooooo, we missed a 2hour+ long show which included appearances by Tim of course, Jerry Bruckheimer, the Travolta Family, Miley Cyrus performed (big whoop), Nicolas Cage, some other Disney whatevers... and at the end who comes out? F-ING JOHNNY DRESSED UP AS JACK SPARROW TO PROMOTE PIRATES PART4!

OMG when I heard people talking about it, I was so mad I was almost going to throw up. I wanted to go back to that lady and pull her throat out.

So anyway, ugh.

Officially, POTC4 is called Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

Oh also, we were lead to believe that an Alice in Wonderland setup was to be at D23 like they had at Comicon, WHICH WE ALSO MISSED B/C IT WAS NOT LISTED IN THE PROGRAM!!! And no it was not there. All they had was a dinky little table set up all tea party style, and this gay guy who was supposed to be a sorry excuse for Johnny's Mad Hatter. (Not trying to be insensitive about gay guys, I'm just mad that's all.) I wanted to see the costumes (b/c that's my thing is movie costumes) and nope it wasn't there. The gay guy's costume was horrid BTW.

I was so excited to go to this event, and I was gonna take all these pics of Yodi there. Nothing there warranted even one photo, nothing was good enough for Yodi to pose with. I want my $37 back! x2 b/c my bf went to, which meant we closed up shop to go to this and lost even more money by not going to work!

Oh and you wanna know the reason why we were late? We went to McD's for some lunch. It was 10:29 when we got up to the drive thru. They said, Oh sorry only breakfast right now. Us: It's 10:29, so you just want me to wait one minute? Them: Oh sorry no. Ugh, so we went to another McD's, and same thing. Come to find out they changed breakfast till 11am now. WTF All this time I've gone there wanting breakfast and it's 10:32 and they say, Oh sorry we only have lunch now. F-ING MCD'S MADE ME MISS JD!!!!!!!!

Ok I'm done ranting, but I'm still really f-ing PO'd!!!!!!!!!

Sorry for all the F bombs, but I'm really mad, and I am never going to let this go.

JD as Tonto in the Lone Ranger
 

Drools, hope they still film it. Johnny as Tonto would be interesting.

We have a drool smiley now. :drool: Third from the last one.

New article about pirates 4:

HOLLYWOOD -- Last month, Johnny Depp walked on stage at the Anaheim Convention Center in his Jack Sparrow costume and delighted a surprised audience of Disney fans with his rummy buccaneer's trademark mutter. Within an hour, award-winning fantasy author Tim Powers found a flurry of e-mails from surprised friends and fans filling his inbox.
The reason: Depp's theatrical appearance at Disney's D23 Expo included the announcement that the fourth Sparrow film would be titled "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides," echoing the name of a 1987 fantasy novel by Powers about pirates and the Fountain of Youth. Everyone wanted to know if Powers had hit the Hollywood jackpot -- or if he needed to be in touch with his attorney.
Powers was in a tricky spot. He wanted to publicly celebrate a career windfall, but the folks at Disney had made it clear that he was supposed to keep everything under wraps. He was more surprised than anyone that the title had been trumpeted at Disney's promotional convention.
"I was still -- as far as I understood -- not free to talk about it," the author said Monday. "Then about a week ago my agent wrote and said, 'You're now able to say that, in fact, Disney did option the book.' That happened awhile ago; it'll be three years in April."
The novelist, with a dozen books to his credit, is still a bit dazed that a book he published during the Reagan administration will set sail in May 2011 as the new edition of a Disney franchise that has racked up $1.78 billion in worldwide box office since hoisting its flag in 2003.
"Yes, I'm thrilled," Powers said, "I think it's great."
The 57-year-old is a two-time winner of the World Fantasy Award, taking the prize home for "Last Call," (the 1992 tale based in the gritty underbelly of Las Vegas that weaves in tales of ancient magic and wagers for the soul) and "Declare" (a 2001 novel that presents the secret supernatural history of Civil War spies and conspiracies). All his books, he says, have "some kind of supernatural stuff going on; it's the only sort of stories I can think of."
Powers is intrigued to see how Hollywood will bend his historical fantasy to its needs. In the original form, "On Stranger Tides" was the tale of "Jack Shandy" Chandagnac, who is the son of a British puppeteer who gave up the family marionette tradition after his father died destitute. He sets sail for Jamaica to find the nefarious uncle who stole his father's rightful inheritance, but en route he is captured by pirates who practice sorcery. They give him the choice of joining their ranks or being executed. Soon he reluctantly falls into service to Blackbeard, who is on a quest to locate the Fountain of Youth.
"I've watched all the movies several times, of course, and I think the clear thing they would use is the trip to the Fountain of Youth," Powers said. "My main character doesn't overlap with Jack Sparrow at all (in personality or circumstance). They're totally different characters. I suppose they might overlap the Geoffrey Rush character Barbossa and Blackbeard. The only thing I feel certain they will hold on to is the Fountain of Youth, since they telegraphed that at the end of the last movie."
Either way, Powers said he was not going to walk into the theater with many expectations other than hoping to have a good time as a moviegoer.
"Some people said, 'Powers, are you worried that they're going to mess up your book?' I always think of something James Cain, the author of 'The Postman Always Rings Twice,' said when people asked what he thought of the things Hollywood had done to his books. He pointed to the bookshelf and said, 'They haven't done anything to them, look.' That's my attitude. Just take all the fun stuff and, of course, any checks. ... It strikes me as unrealistic to look at it in any other way."
Still Powers has a bit of concern about the project as it moves forward, considering some recent reports. On Sept. 18, after the D23 Expo, Depp spoke to Claudia Eller of the Los Angeles Times and said that the abrupt ouster of longtime Disney studio chief Dick Cook had dampened his interest in a fourth "Pirates" film.
"There's a fissure, a crack in my enthusiasm at the moment," the star said, saying also that he was "shocked and very sad" to see Cook walk the corporate plank after playing such a key role in the "Pirates" success story. "Pirates" would also be moving forward without Gore Verbinski, the director of the opening trilogy. Monday, Powers sounded like a man who wishes he could cast a voodoo spell on all the Hollywood players who are navigating the cinematic ship of the "Pirates" franchise. "Nobody talk to each other. Everyone just stand and smile. Don't do anything to mess this up. Let's keep this going, OK?"

I am SO sorry about what happened to you at the Disney convention! I would be BEYOND mad... :( Thanks for keeping us updating on all things Johnny though!!!!!!!

New Alice in Wonderland trailer out!
 

Movie Trailers | Previews | Movie Clips | Video | Hollywood.com

Don't know how to get the trailer to play directly on here, but if you click the link about it should take you to the page. Looks much more interesting than the first teaser! :D

Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus
 

Saw it last night. Set design and costumes were absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Story.... mmmmm just ok. I am a fan of Terry Gilliam (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Time Bandits) and I know he's not for everyone. Heath Ledger was awesome. Johnny's part was VERY small. He was great though. (One Night Stand motel hee hee hee) Lily Cole was VERY good as a first time model turned actress (as far as I know) her costumes were GORGEOUS!!! as is she. A little slow going, but if you are into the non-blockbuster stuff you will enjoy this movie.

Thank you Capt Noonie for inviting me. I'm so uncool that it took me 10 minutes to figure out how to actually join the club. I hope tattoos aren't required. Love them on JD, not on me. All admirers of Johnny need to check out Star Magazine for the article in which his girlfriend Vanessa Paradis dishes about her wonderful life with the man. It's Star, so you know that it is all true. I saw it at my local Walmart, which is usually behind schedule on smutty rag magazines, so check it out soon...

I cannot wait to see IDP! Disappointed to hear the story was ho-hum, but glad that the visual feast in the trailer was representative of the film as a whole.

Arghhhhhh! I feel your pain.
