Startling pictures of Johnny Depp's unique make-up -- "The eyes have it!"



Amazing artist's rendering of Bill Nighy as Davy Jones, a human (slash) sea creature!

[Whoa_Nelly]

1. Will probably go see it because...

I love Johnny Depp! :::sigh:::

[Radio_Lady]

4. He's pretty outrageous in this film. I mean that in a GOOD way!

Check my review -- I'll post it by late Thursday/or Friday morning!

[Radio_Lady]

33. Link of Johnny Depp's eye makeup from original post.

Isn't this amazing?

[Broken_Hero]

2. when are

you allowed to post your review on this one? And, I'm anxiously waiting your thoughts on Lady of the Water, the new Shamalyan flick...that one looks very promising...:)

[Radio_Lady]

5. Late Thursday night 07/06, because I do my show on Fridays.

I've got to get it ready for that. That's the usual procedure.

Don't recall the date of opening for the M. Night Shamalayan picture. I've seen the trailer but I got burned so badly at "The Village" that I may never forgive him! (Naw, just kidding...)

[Broken_Hero]

7. I can understnad the Village...

I figured it out, within the first five minutes of the movie...I just had to think of something outragoues...and I was like "I bet this movie is set in modern times! And they are living like this on their own free will" and I was right..(for a change, :) )

so, a week from tomorrow...I will hear from you then. I don't plan on seeing it, but my brothers/sister's might drag me to it....:)

[Radio_Lady]

9. Next Thursday night, right. Have a great holiday, by the way!

[Broken_Hero]

10. holiday?

what holiday are you talking about?

[Radio_Lady]

12. Um, the American July 4th holiday? Next Monday and/or Tuesday?

Some businesses are taking off Monday 7/3 and Tuesday, 7/4, as a two-day affair.

Are you working through that timeframe? Or is there something I don't know?

[Broken_Hero]

13. oh shit...

*slaps forehead*...duh on me. Sometimes, the lesser holidays go over my head sometimes...and no, I'm a substitute teacher, so for the most part, my days are sorta lost during the summer time...:)

[Radio_Lady]

14. No problem... time blurs for me, too -- that's because --

I'm retired (but still pretty damned busy, what with volunteer work, children and grandchildren in the area, travel, etc. etc.).

How did I ever find time to work???

[pdx_prog]

30. What station RL?

I didn't realize you were in PDX...

[Radio_Lady]

31. Please go to my journal. You should be able to see directions in

the right hand column of the journal. (The photo up there now is quite large, so you may need to scroll to the right to see the column -- sorry!)

We are "Golden Hours," a 24/7 audio service of Oregon Public Broadcasting. My program is streamed on the internet on Mondays at 1 PM Pacific Time.(Please adjust for your time zone in other parts of the country).

The audio signal is also available through a modern TV set (less than ten years old) on KOPB, Channel 10 or whatever your cable/dish company uses for a channel. However, you do have to set it up with your remote control. I'll explain if you wish.

Computer connection is easier. PM me if you need help with that connection.

Thanks for your interest.

[WindRavenX]

3. fuck yes

:D

[Radio_Lady]

6. Hint: You may have an urge to eat seafood after you see this film.

Or, you may never want to eat it again!

[WCGreen]

8. I'm really looking forard to this one....

also, the one with Uma Thurman as the pissed off ex superhero girlfriend...

that looks hilarious....

[Radio_Lady]

11. Something about ---

My ex-girlfriend -- I saw the poster.

We're going away to a resort in Whistler, B.C., Canada, on vacation with our children and grandchildren, so I will take a break from the DU and the movies soon.

My radio shows are pre-recorded when I am on frequent travel. Thanks for your post, WC!

[WCGreen]

15. Ms Lady, I read your stuff al the time...

And value your opinion....

Have fun with the adult kiddies and slip the grandkids some candy right before they go to bed....

(LOL)

[Radio_Lady]

16. What a sweet post!

I appreciate it!

[GalleryGod]

17. Here's a Scene I stole....

Keira-the-Goddess !!!:bounce: :hippie: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

[Radio_Lady]

23. Good photo! Yes, Keira is one beautiful lady. Talented, too!

For many of us gals, Orlando Bloom is easy on the eyes, too. Sigh... I wish May - December liaisons were still popular. (Wake up, Radio Lady, the guy was BORN in 1977! That would REALLY be robbing the cradle. I have SONS older than him -- born in 1958 and 1969.)

[WritingIsMyReligion]

18. Oh FUCK YEAH!

I LOVE Johnny Depp. And I loved the first Pirates! Rock on!

[Radio_Lady]

24. This one is pure fantasy -- and the special effects are nothing short of

MIRACULOUS.

I'll really be interested in the DVD to see how they did the makeup and computer animation.

[AlCzervik]

19. oh yeah, my daughter cannot wait and neither can i.

[Radio_Lady]

25. "I must go down to the sea again, to the lonely sea and the sky --

And all I ask is a tall (pirate) ship, and a star to steer her by." Can't remember who wrote this quote.

I'd say the special effects in this movie may exceed the complexity of any film I've ever seen. More later in my official review.

39. Sea Fever

by John Masefield

I must go down to the sea again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea’s face and a grey dawn breaking.
I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.

I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull’s way and the whale’s way, where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.

------------------

One of my personal favorites. I have it hanging in my boat.

[Radio_Lady]

40. Thanks for the citation. It's something I remember from my childhood.

We had a really little boat with an outboard motor while I was growing up. We lived on a tidewater canal near Biscayne Bay, Miami, Florida. I honestly remember going out on it just a few times because I became motion sick at the drop of a hat (still do, but control it with drugs).

My father tied that little boat up in the backyard canal. He fashioned some old tires along the sea wall to keep the boat from hitting the wall.

One day the tide went out, and the boat got caught under one of the tires. The boat swamped and sank. I remember the guys lifting it out with a crane and taking it away.

'Twas a sad, sad day... in me life," quoth the sailor.

Oh, I'm not really a sailor. But I did play one on TV.

From my first job, in 1957, as "First Mate" Ellen with "Skipper" Chuck, on the "Popeye Playhouse" WTVJ, Miami, Florida

[supernova]

20. Wild Horses will not keep me from the theatre!

I can't wait Radio_Lady! :D

I have been looking forward to spending more time w/ Capt Jack for forever! :D

Reminds me have to watch PTOC: CotBP again before I go! :D

[Radio_Lady]

26. I'm sure that will help, but the story is pretty simple. Jack Sparrow

needs to pay his debt to Davy Jones and his crew. We spend the next 2 1/2 hours on that wild ride -- It really went quickly.

However, my husband, who usually likes action movies -- fell asleep. I hate it when he does that, but at least he didn't snore in the preview.

[wildhorses]

42. hell !!! wildhorses would gladly join you at the theatre

Johnny Depp is HOT HOT HOT
:hi:

[deadparrot]

21. My mom, aunt, and I

are buying tickets to the first possible show. :D

[Radio_Lady]

27. Already sold out for 10:00 PM Thursday in some markets.

Some theaters also have a screening at 3:00 AM Friday screening. That's what I call "devotion."

[Divameow77]

22. I absolutely cannot wait!

Need to spend some quality time with Jack and Will asap!

[Radio_Lady]

28. There are some external reviews posted at the Internet Movie Data Base.

The links are listed here, if you want to see them.

http://www.us.imdb.com/title/tt0383574/externalreviews

My review will be posted 7/06 Thursday or early 7/07 Friday.

Have a happy weekend and holiday -- will you see the movie during the next four days?

[Spider Jerusalem]

29. Yes, solely because of Johnny Depp...

who is, IMO, the finest American actor of his generation (qualified with 'American' because I think Tim Roth is his equal as an actor)

[Radio_Lady]

32. Excellent choice! He is quite a fantastic actor!

Of course, "Pirates" is silly as hell, and he does it so well.

[Radio_Lady]

34. (PHOTOS) "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" Opens 7/07

[Hissyspit]

35. Yes - the first was pretty good and my mom has a thing for Johnny Depp

and wants to see it, so I will probably take her.

[Radio_Lady]

36. Yes, I agree. It's easy to have a thing for Johnny Depp. I have two...

Thing 1 and Thing 2!



(Sorry, I couldn't resist. From "The Cat in the Hat" by Dr. Seuss... in case you don't know or remember.)

Here's Johnny -- scandalously cute!



Also, I found a recent article from the Washington Post you might like to read:

[Radio_Lady]

37. {{Sigh}} Should anyone this handsome be allowed to live? (PHOTO)

He should go right to "angel" status -- even if he's a "fallen angel"!

[Radio_Lady]

38. Pirates buzz! Background article says it all! Check this out:

Pirates sequel seeks box office treasure
05 July 2006

LOS ANGELES: Three years ago, the $654 million smash hit movie Pirates of Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl handed its Hollywood makers a devil of a dilemma: How the heck to top it?

To meet the challenge, director Gore Verbinski and writers Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio fought fire with fire. For sequel Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, they fought their devil of a dilemma with the devil of the sea – Davy Jones.

Action-adventure film Dead Man's Chest, starring Johnny Depp as swishy pirate Captain Jack Sparrow, sails into movie theatres as the most widely anticipated movie of Hollywood's lucrative summer season.

On its face, that should be good news for the movie backed by The Walt Disney Co, but any Hollywood executive worth his sea salt knows that high expectations can lead to huge disappointment if movies fail to meet expectations.

Verbinski, Depp and the others have their work cut out for them. "We always said with the first movie, our chief weapons were low expectations and the element of surprise," Elliott told reporters. "In this, we don't have the low expectations."

Indeed, audience hopes are high. At Movietickets.com, for instance, advance ticket sales for Dead Man's Chest were nearly 20 times greater than those for the first film.

43. The Flying Spaghetti Monster approves...

Captain Jack Sparrow is one of the FSM's favorite pirates!

Really.

I have it on the best authority!

[Bombtrack]

44. The first one was awful. FX eye candy for dumb little kids, Lady/gay guy

candy with talented Depp and untalented Bloom (the latter of whom unfortunately is the LEAD).

Absolutely nothing of value for a straight man with good taste in movies who isn't deeply confused and enjoys an "Orlando Bloom vehicle".

It isn't funny, scary, compelling, clever, and it takes 2 and a half hours to accomplish jack $hit.

[Bridget Burke]

46. What was POTC#1 supposed to "accomplish"?

Not every movie sets out to searingly portray the weighty issues facing the world today. Quite a few of us enjoyed it.

It's OK that you didn't care for the film; tastes vary. But is your heterosexuality so fragile?

[LynzM]

45. Plan to go see it tonight at the drive-in

The reviews so far look really mediocre, but if all I get out of it is Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom as eye candy, well... so be it! *grin*

[AtomicKitten]

47. yes and can't wait --- love Johnny Depp n/t
