I prefer to think it's humidity rather than grease.

But he does look drunk. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Mr. Depp, at thirteen years older than me, you still have fewer lines and better cheekbones. Ordinarily I would be seething with jealousy, but mostly I just want to fling myself on you.

@awinoforever: Ha. I guess things are serious, what with the tattoo and everything.

I grew up in the South. I've had many summers where I've looked like a bacon hat-wearer.

Wasn't he a young man (early twenties) in the book? This is so stupid.

@Eleanor Ramilly: yeah but hunter really wanted him to play the role and what hunter wants, hunter gets. they were supposed to start filming years ago but there were a number of production delays, particularly thanks to pirates of the g.d. carribbean.

@Lucille van Pelt: I agree -- I didn't think so until I saw Bill Murray's version of HST, and thanked God that it wasn't the only one out there. Johnny just...gets HST, you know? Like, he seems to really understand him, as much as anybody could.

I think HST was early twenties when he wrote it which is what made me think the character was the same age, maybe he was older, but not as old as Johnny Depp. Def still a young man. It has nothing to do with Depp's acting skills, I am a stickler for authenticity when good books are made into films. Youth and fear of aging were major themes in the novel. Also they cut out one of the main characters, which is lazy in my opinion.

@Eleanor Ramilly: I am torn. I very much share your pro-authenticity stance when books are made into movies, and HATE when characters are cut (I am looking at you, The Beach), but I also feel that Johnny Depp is the best choice to portray HST.

I actually just wrote like two paragraphs going back and forth over the points. I will just reiterate, I am torn, and when the movie comes out the two sides of me will do war and destroy each other. Thanks, Depp.

I'm back and forth on Depp, but if he admires Brando so much he needs to explore what happened on Brando's private island. Somebody should tell Johnny that imitation isn't always the most sincere type of flattery.

The thought of a Gonzo Beach just makes me smile.

I want to sit on that beach and just stare at the water while drinking rum.
