opens today. I read that Johnny Depp plays the lead 'androgynous', whatever the critics mean by that. Has anyone seen it? How is it. How is his performance?
 
I am SO going to see that.. me, my best friend, and my mom have plans to see it next week.. *grin*


Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp... *drool*

Keira Knightley isn't to your taste?
 
Keira Knightley

young blond ( British?) actress, played in Star wars Episode I
then big attention in " Bend it Like Backham", the girl-power soccer movie. There is a girl/girl kising scene in that movie, and Keira's character is described as a 'tomboy', so there was a lot or 'lesbian chic' and backlash chatter about the film

now Orlando Bloom's love interest in Pirates.

reviewers say she has a minor part but that the camera loves her to death.

I havent seen it yet but want to. Johnny Depp is NOT the best actor around, but I watch all of his movies simply because he is hot. Orlando Bloom is nothing to sneeze at either. Should be good. :)

I have to disagree with you. I think Johnny Depp is a terrific actor. His range, from Edward Scissorhands to Ed Wood to Donnie Brasco, is very impressive.
 
I saw clips on TV today, and he didn't look particularly androgynous. Not that I care - he's one guy that my girlfriend and I would both fuck if we had the chance, just because he's such a pretty boy. (I'd do Ian McKellen, too.)
 
I think Johnny Depp is a great actor and hot as hell!!

I'm looking forward to see the movie.
 
I saw the dry run last night:

Very good, but I'm afraid it's going to get shunned because it's a good OLD FASHIONED story and people are used to glitz.

The fight scenes were much more realitisic than The Muskeeter.

There are three main leads Capt. Jack Sparrow (Depp) walks with a drunken swish and flops his wrists about quite a bit but also makes a pass at the female lead and gets batted about by every other female in the movie.

William Turner is played by Orlando Bloom, a very ernest performance by the thin lipped hunk. He emotes soundlessly very well, but plays it a little cheesy at the very end. Considering what he had to work with *shrugs*. Good fenceing form with the saber...holds his wrist perfectly.

Don't let the reviews fool you Keira Knightley is a great thrid lead who doesn't scream much and in fact goes off to rescue her man more than once. She has a very enchanting upside down mouth.

All the leads have brown eyes....

Best techo bit: The sword fight when they are bounceing back and forth from fleshed to unfleshed.

Best visual: Underwater walking.


Best line: I won't spoil it for you by quoteing it, but it's Jack's line to Will about promises.

Best gay couple in the movie: The two pirates (one with a wooden eye) who dress up in women's clothes.
 
A friend of mine today described the character as "butch fey" which seems more appropriate than "androgynous."
 
i'd do all three of them if god would only let me. did you hear that god? make it happen, buddy. make it happen.

the perfect movie star- promising something for everybody:D
 
I saw it this weekend and loved it. It really wasn't the typical pirate movie that I expected which made it great. And hell I love Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom...
 
I have to disagree with the way above poster. I think Johnny Depp is probably one of the best actors around today.

She played Sabe, the Decoy Queen. Apparently she was cast in the role because of similar size, body and facial type as Natalie Portman.

There is a classic book; whose name I cannot now recall, about the prevalence of homosexuality-buggery they used to call it-amongst the real pirates of the carribean.
