I wonder why they picked depp though? The guys a 2-legged Arachnid. To borrow a classic line from Telly Savalas (aka) Big Joe in: "Kellys Heroes" "He's a Freak."

I still say: BAH HUMBUG and thumbs down on this movie.

Id be all for seeing it if they replaced depp. Sorry, I cant stand that freak.

'Lone Ranger' Budget Back Up to $250 Million
I wonder why? so depp can get paid $100 million for playing yet another character as a gay character. >;-((

It does state both in Wikipedia and IMDb,
that:-Nice find. I hadnt read about his Father though.
-
I wasn't absolutely positive, either , but had also read or heard it somewhere, plus he diffidently looked the part.
Chester
Ill see if I can find the exact site with Jay's info on it. Also, apparently he was one heck of a good Athlete too. I forget what Sport he was in? but apparently he was a star athlete.
-
I think he used the name Harry Silversmith too
That's great to know. Im going to ask my friend Ray if he can find anything on that? Jay Silverheels has always been a favorite of mine.
-
Gotcha, Ringo,
I only knew that because of a link to a site about him that was posted by a friend of mine over on the http://www.histomil.com site ;-)) I knew he was a real Native--but always thought he was Navajo.
-
Haven't seen it, it totally sank, pun intended, at the box office.
Think that's one to wait for on late night tv.
We're way off topic now!
:lol::lol::lol: Loved the pun and I heard it made $1 buck for every $4 spent on its making.
The Lone Ranger--there-back on topic ;-))

You're not missing much.
I had high ish hopes due to the calibre of people involved but it ended up another sci fi spectacle with very little substance.Sure this one for Chester to fall asleep in front of.
I also heard that Battleship was pretty lame. I like Liam Neesen but--too many things I see about this movie are all negatory.
-
I know where you're coming from but I'm still pleased the character lives on.
So many great fictional character disappear as time goes by.I was taught a neat meaning in Spanish by my next door neighbor-a nice lady I chat with all the time. To me--depp is Muchobaboso--meaning: Big Idiot (or) something like that. :lol: I agree with another whose post I read--I think Adam Beach should have been Tonto.

Don't feel bad, as I'm stuck in the 50's too! Yes, Jay Silverheels did a great job looking like an Indian.
Jay Silverheels was a real Indian--he was a Mohawk Indian and was from Canada.
-
I remember The Lone Ranger on Saturday mornings here in the UK in the 70s, normally back to back with Champion, The Wonder Horse!
It's a tall order to try and compete with Silverheels and Clayton Moore but I'm pleased they are doing a film as it keeps the character alive.
I was actually at Monument Valley when Johnny Depp was there meeting the president of the Navajo Nation and filming. Total fluke, as I'm sure you all know by now I was there on my Honeymoon
Neat story. My thing on depp is I think he is a good actor--I just don't like he or his politics. Now he has another thing on him I detest--his "defacing" a classic Western Character and turning it into a freak (as is his norm) it seems.
-
Maybe I'm too stuck in the 50's, but I don't like the look. Maybe it is more traditional, but I like Jay Silverheels look much better.
Totally DITTO, on that ;-))
-
I will wait and see, it surely can't be as bad as
Cowboys & Aliens!, or can it?I dunno, I never saw Cowboys and Aliens. ;-))
-
I guess we should wait to see the movie. Remember all our comments about the remake of True Grit. As it turned out, wasn't a half bad rendition.
Chester
I should but, somehow, I just cant. To me this is like when they remade Inglorious Bas--ds. I always said that you cant make an Eagle out of a Turkey. As for True Grit-not that I have anything against Bridges--I this is another one of those: "I just Cants" if you know what I mean? ;-))

Display More
Looks like his mascara is running, but I'll be open minded until I know more about this one, Kemo Sabe.
We deal in lead, friend.
I cant keep positive on this one. Where's Jay Silverheels when you need him?
-
Ukkkkkk.
-
I can't express my disappointment eloquently, but I was hoping for a dignified Tonto.
Ditto on that. I was hoping for a more "Tarditional" Tonto-not somehting that looks like he will kill you, rip open your chest, cut out your still beating heart and eat it. Im greatly irritated over their choice for Tonto. >:-((
-
YUK!!!!! Figures Depp would "freakify" Tonto. I AINT watching it.
