Johnny Depp is a pirate!

Johnny on Letterman

Great actor. Great Interview. 'Nuff said.

In honour of the release of "Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest" on DVD this week, I thought I would throw up a clip from this Johnny Depp Interview. This little chat with Letterman took place waaaay back in July, during the promotional run for this film. Needless to say, I'm a huge Depp fan, and this movie was one of the most entertaining films to hit theaters this past year. Be sure to check it out. The final film in the trilogy is going to swagger into theaters reeking of rum and saltwater in summer '07. Arrrrr Matey!

What's not to like about a trilogy that has pirates, Johnny Depp, and an undead monkey? You might say: "Well, they are Disney movies..." Okay, fair enough. But Depp's performance as Captain Jack Sparrow transcends Disney's usual schlock. If it is guilty of one sin, I guess that would be the sin of it's own financial success; jaded film buffs that usually avoid high-grossing "summer blockbusters" are missing out on some classic cinema here. So put down that film-festival award winning, foreign language film and go rent/buy this immediately. Tell them an undead monkey sent ya'.
