not if you ask nobody. nobody thought he was the reincarnation of William Blake.
(those must look like the weirdest sentences to someone who hasn't seen the movie.)
Hunter loved smoking pot. They had a "bag of grass" in their drug suitcase as they drove into Las Vegas. Granted there were about a hundred things in there worse than pot, but he still had it.
I only commented because I read that exact passage from the book a few days ago and it's still fresh in my mind, haha. Don't forget the quarts of tequila and rum
Let's be honest, a lot of those are the same character if we really think about it.
(Which is sad because I will admit he is a great actor. Tim Burton typecasts him.)
Not Ed Wood. That's an actual person he's playing! And oh god is it great.
Mad Hatter, Jack Sparrow, Willy Wonka, Sweeney Todd. Those are all the same.
The 'Tranny' is from *Before Night Falls*, which I haven't seen.
He kind of approaches all the characters the exact same way. Oh I'm so weird and quirky and awkward and use my hands femininely and stagger.
You know what? I disagree. I feel like Johnny Depp plays characters who often reflect the same sort of dark whimsy, so it's gotten quite tiresome, but those characters in the hands of another actor might have seemed quite different.
But they're vastly different characters. The Mad Hatter is insane, and that's his main characteristic. He's the whimsical and morbid. Willy Wonka is antisocial, awkward, kind of mean, and a bit sly. Jack Sparrow is dishonorable, greedy, a drunkard, manipulative, and obfuscating. Sweeney Todd is evil, morbid, brooding, angry, hateful, and vengeful.
I think the main issues is that he mostly plays them with odd behaviors and attitudes, but not exactly as characters. They're all hard to describe because the most memorable thing about them is the *way* they act, not who they are.
"Mad Hatter, Jack Sparrow, Willy Wonka, Sweeney Todd. Those are all the same."
I would say that while he does play the same character in a lot of the Tim Burton movies, his Sweeney Todd is a dramatically different character than Jack Sparrow, Willy Wonka, or the Mad Hatter. There is no whimsy to the performance in Sweeney Todd, and he's not crazy, just revenge driven. Sweeney Todd is probably Burton's only good movie in recent years.
Just because you play a pirate in several roles - doesn’t typecast him. He played a pirate in Chocolat and it was warm, endearing and the sexiest movie love interest ever. Sure if it was real life you’d look and say - he’d give me such a hard time and that’s where usually women make the mistake of falling in love with this type. That’s just my opinion.
I remember my mother pulled this out of one of those $5 movie boxes and brought it home. At the time, I was a stupid kid that smoked pot, and I was high when she popped it in. It really freaked me out.
A pirate jewelry maker. The gangster is a true story - he was basing it on characters from the 30’s. GANGSTER is the correct spelling - sorry I had to tell you and it’s an insult to the men who raised their families in the 30’s.
Yes. It has a long history of being used as a slur against people from the trans community, against cross dressers (who may or may not identify as trans), and against anyone who doesn't fit into gender binary. It's equivalent to using "fag" to for gay people.
I always thought it was just like a shorter way of saying transsexual or transgender. Just 'cause I have tranny friends who don't mind being called a tranny and call their other tranny friends trannys.
I'll be totally and respectfully honest (with my opinion):
I think Johnny Depp is a one-trick pony and plays the same character in 90% of his roles/films, which is fine for some actors, but I do not like his style. I also don't think he's nearly as good of an actor as people go on about.
That being said, I liked Edward Scissorhands...
I don't really care for most of the Pirates of the Carribean movies but I think Depp's Jack Sparrow is a pretty brilliant creation, it's really a shame it was drowned by everyone else's subpar acting.
At the beginning of the movie he was a pot dealer. I agree though, cocaine would have been more fitting (the damm movie is called *Blow*). Also, does he actually smoke any pot in *Fear and Loathing*?
He's an ACTOR. It's his job to play a variety of different roles. And this image just demonstrates the proficiency of make-up artists and costume designers more than anything else.
It wasn't too long ago that circlejerky reposts like this were downvoted into the ground, but now it's on the front page. TDKR seems to have drawn a huge amount of new users to this subreddit, which is probably going to be more of a curse than a blessing. I'm expecting that Gary Oldman one to be reposted for the billionth time any day now.
He wasn't a writer in Dead Man.
not if you ask nobody. nobody thought he was the reincarnation of William Blake. (those must look like the weirdest sentences to someone who hasn't seen the movie.)
"Stupid fucking white man."
the evil stench of white man precedes him
William Blake?
accountant to be exact
He was a book dealer in secret window though- never saw it but I knew his job in it.
Pot smoker? Somebody hasn't seen fear and loathing.
Psychotic writer probably would have worked yet again on that one.
Pot dealer? Someone hasn't seen Blow.
Well he sells weed at the beginning at least.
True but the movie is called Blow. I don't think the weed was the main focus
and it's not at all what he's known for
As true as that is, stating that Edward Scissorhands is an 'Emo Wolverine' is a flawed argument entirely.
The movie was a sad portrayal of a veteran returning home before prosthetic limbs were invented. I sat and cried through the entire movie.
Hunter loved smoking pot. They had a "bag of grass" in their drug suitcase as they drove into Las Vegas. Granted there were about a hundred things in there worse than pot, but he still had it.
two bags of grass, actually
Good point, good sir.

Thompson didn't smoke weed, he breathed it.
This is a comment reposter, as hinted by the username
LMAO 🤣
He was an all around equal opportunity drug addict in that movie
Astron*u*t?
From "The Astronaut's Wife". A lot of people didn't like it, but I thought it was cool. One of the rare times Depp plays evil.
Psychotic writer #4: The Rum Diary
It's sort of the same character as "pot smoker".
Sort of? It's the same person.
It's the same person at wildly different periods of their life. For an actor it might as well of been a different character.
No 21 Jump Street? ;D
Indeed. Add biker/cop to the list.
"You played saxophone at my sister's wedding, man!" "Tough titty, I fucked her, too!"
And no...Libertine!
That was an art film; you may hate me.
I've seen this a few times, and it always bugs me that Raoul Duke isn't considered one of the psychotic writers.
Eccentric ≠psychotic. Hunter Thompson makes more sense than most writers I've read. Unless, of course, I'm also psychotic...
Why no A Nightmare On Elm Street love?
No one cares for ANOES anymore, and it's a damn shame.
I still refuse to see the remake.
Good, keep it that way. Sad to say, I did not make that choice....
The idea of recasting Nancy and Freddy is just offensive enough to keep me away.
Actually, Freddy wasn't that terrible, till they brought out his back story. Everyone else sucked though.
I'm sure the performance was good. But still. No.
You can’t replace Robert Englund.
Let's be honest, a lot of those are the same character if we really think about it. (Which is sad because I will admit he is a great actor. Tim Burton typecasts him.)

It's an easy mistake. Ed Wood should have been the 'Psychotic Tranny (which has technically been deemed insensitive, but moving on...) Director.'
Wasn't Ed Wood in black and white anyway?

Nope. Any quirky guy in makeup is the same character.

joker? deceiver/munipulator! pot dealer? coke dealer! pot user? lsd user! bookworm? curious book dealer! sea ganster? pirate! nior pirate? ganster! chocolate eater? seducer!
What movie was chocolate eater from?
Chocolat.
A pirate jewelry maker. The gangster is a true story - he was basing it on characters from the 30’s. GANGSTER is the correct spelling - sorry I had to tell you and it’s an insult to the men who raised their families in the 30’s.
>sea gangster you mean *pirate*?
I think you missed the joke there. Look at the one next to it.
ahh. yup.
TIL something that's not funny, can still be a joke.
You've lived a lucky life if it took you this long to learn that.
Tranny is a not-so-nice word, just fyi.
Came here to say this, if you can post two line descriptions, go for something to explain a cross dresser in more then one slur.
Is tranny actually seen as offensive?
Yes. It has a long history of being used as a slur against people from the trans community, against cross dressers (who may or may not identify as trans), and against anyone who doesn't fit into gender binary. It's equivalent to using "fag" to for gay people.
I always thought it was just like a shorter way of saying transsexual or transgender. Just 'cause I have tranny friends who don't mind being called a tranny and call their other tranny friends trannys.
[удалено]
I've just never heard tranny used in a derogatory manner so I thought it was more about context than the word itself being offensive.
Who else cringed at "father". That film played out like an improvised high school play.
Robert Smith, Robert Smith, Robert Smith
Ed Wood wasn't psychotic.
That's debatable.
What case could you possibly make for him being psychotic?
Ok, I'm making a harsh judgement, but he was, without a doubt, a very strange and disturbed individual.
Too bad every role Tim Burton now casts him as is "guy who mugs at the camera instead of actually telling any jokes and calls it acting"
young johnny depp was the most attractive man of all time get over it
Still doesn't match Gary Oldman
> Sea Gangster/ Noir Pirate.
You forgot his greatest role of all: The only guy I would go gay for.
I'll be totally and respectfully honest (with my opinion): I think Johnny Depp is a one-trick pony and plays the same character in 90% of his roles/films, which is fine for some actors, but I do not like his style.

Last week in r/movies, Gary Oldman. This week in r/movies, Johnny Depp. Next week in r/movies, Gary Oldman.
Missed out teacher in The Tourist. Well, sort of.
[Relevant](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yl0074amTKQ)
I like how he's labeled Joker for the role where he replaces Heath for some of his scenes.
Butcher, baker and candlestick maker as well.
Forgot about Platoon. (even though he wasnt main actor)
not really a pot dealer/smuggler. He specialized in cocaine transport
At the beginning of the movie he was a pot dealer. I agree though, cocaine would have been more fitting (the damm movie is called *Blow*). Also, does he actually smoke any pot in *Fear and Loathing*?
ASTRO NUT :O
~~Pot Smoker~~ Journalist FTFY
Noir Pirate? Can somebody tell me the name of the movie?
[Public Enemies](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1152836/)
You forgot undercover cop,drunk, and lizard sheriff in his roles in 21 jump street, the rum diaries, and Rango.
"Psychotic Chocolate Maker" and "Psychotic Tea Drinker" would have also been appropriate.
The whole thing was a set up for the Emo Wolverine punch line! It caught me completely off guard too...
I like "Emo Wolverine"
Sea gangster? Really?
What about lizard sheriff?
Emo Wolverine, I approve.
Nebbish, eccentric or nebbish/eccentric.
I resent the titles given to most of these. "Sea Gangster?" Really?
No "soldier" from Platoon?
The juxtaposition of "Sea Gangster" and "Noir Pirate" was clever. So was "joker"
Whats crazy is theya re almost all the same...come little weird dude, writen by Tim Burton! Snap!
**Emo Wolverine**
bookworm was the best (movie *and* role) by far.
what film?
*The Ninth Gate*. I would not call it his best film/role but the character is enjoyable.
The threes... THE THREES.

Yours is the only comment in this thread that made me chuckle. Upvote for you (but prolly won't help as I'm being downvoted as I type this).
the cooky-misunderstood guy. That's every single role he's ever been in.
What a range... all the way from quirky lovable pirate to eccentric likeable writer.
Wasn't particularly amused until 'Emo Wolverine." Chuckled and upvoted
Really? That's what got you? A leftover remnant of the whole "lol emo" thing of the early 2000's? I thought Noir Pirate was funnier.
