He did a lot of off-the-wall, smaller movies like ARIZONA DREAM and DEAD MAN and weird things like THE NINTH GATE. I remember movie snobs crying that he was "selling out" when he did NICK OF TIME in 1995 (you know, the one where Christopher Walken forces him to assassinate a politician because no one will recognize him and Walken won't be connected, then spends the rest of the movie busting his balls from about two feet away?). <br /><br />It can't be a coincidence that he seemed to care a bit less right around the time he started making PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN money. Even when he's playing a regular character, he doesn't seem to care. Did you see THE TOURIST? He looked half-asleep through the whole thing.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05067504092969936552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5267646817514530908.post-26386666948929508842012-05-11T17:08:55.000-04:002012-05-11T17:08:55.000-04:00Still gonna see it on dvd.

I love Donnie Brasco Depp.mollyduganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11166838028265467325noreply@blogger.com
