When I say most Americans are naive and uninformed...Again, I'm being REALLY nice

Yes... attack foreign policy... attack the decisions of America's leaders... but by making personal attacks about the people... you have crossed the line.

Continue doing so and you are toast.

Aermicans, however, are dumb puppies, since they tend to believe the best of their government, even when it's screwing them over.

Let me guess -- this is where you take off with your "commie crusade to save Americans from tyranny in the revolution that is bound to occur in the not-so-distant future?"

Depp's entitled to his opinions. I'd think people would respect that he followed through on his promise to leave the U.S., since so many skewered Alec Baldwin for not following through on his own (stupid) threat.

The reason the media source is making it news is because that's what they do. They interview celebs and get their views on everything, because they know adoring fans will gobble it all up. I wouldn't fault Depp for speaking his mind, agree with it or not. I think he's making a very brash and unwise generalization about the U.S. While I understand where he's coming from, there are many places where such a "puppy dog" attitude does not exist at all.

Re his acting: Mock his views, but don't mock his acting. Depp has consistently proven himself as one of the best actors out there, far surpassing any on his generational peers in characterization. Even in films that were decidedly bad (The Ninth Gate), his acting performances have been superb. Would that more actors had his range and abilities. And his looks!

I guess I don't even need to ask who you would pick as the best in Sleepy Hollow.

Johnny "I'm the desire of every Gay man's dream" Depp or

Christina "I'd look so good with a whip and knee high boots laying in Sprayber's bed" Ricci

I've not seen Sleepy Hollow.

But I can think of several films off the top of my head wherein Depp gave exceptional performances:

What's Eating Gilbert Grape?
Edward Scissorhands
Ed Wood
Benny and Joon
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Chocolat
From Hell
Blow
Pirates of the Caribbean

He is in a new one with Antonio Banderas in a sequal to Desperado? Once Upon A Time In Mexico I think is the name.

Perhaps the timing of this isn't accidental

Why do people care what celebrities think? They're all overpaid dip****s... and the few that have brains usually are so obsessed with some insignificant cause like, "SAVE THE ECUADORIAN DANDELIONS!" that they are completely disconnected from reality.

All the morons who *****ed and moaned about the Dixie Chicks will probably boycott all things Depp now... oh well... the only thing dumber than an outspoken celebrity are the dorks that pine over what they believe.

It was easy for me to boycott the Dixie Chicks since I never bought any of their stuff anyway.

I just pray Christina Ricci never gets into anything political. I'll have to change some of my fantasys around

Bannanas are far more important than Ecuadorian dandelions.
