    Depp's a fine actor, altho I sure haven't been a fan of all his films. I'm lookiing forward to Tarantino's Django myself.


    Totally forgot about that one, be interesting to see how that works.


    Ironically I watched the original Django and my wife said it reminded her of a Tarantino movie and that was BEFORE Django unchained was even green lit!


    That's two big westerns in 12 months coming out.
    Great news!

    I think it looks amazing!
    I cannot wait to see a big Western at the cinema again.
    If its a success a whole new generation will discover the genre and in turn discover its greatest star... Duke Wayne!

    I also heard that Battleship was pretty lame. I like Liam Neesen but--too many things I see about this movie are all negatory.


    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! :wink_smile:

    I dunno, I never saw Cowboys and Aliens. ;-))


    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.:wink_smile:


    Agreed, unfortunately they went for a big name.
    I actually met some of the Navajo whose grandfathers served as windtalkers, they are all very proud of their contribution, even the Burger King in Kayenta has a display cabinet with artefacts from WWII!

    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.


    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.

    Totally DITTO, on that ;-))


    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:wink_smile:
