That is one great idea that guy has! I would so love to see Johnny do a remake of Keaton's film! What a great one that would be! Thanks Donna!

Depp is perhaps the greatest talent of his generation, and he’s certainly the greatest living actor to have never won an Oscar.

Smart man, but how sad this is.

I agree Ellen! Maybe this year will change that? :crossfingers It's nice to hear a "guy" applaud Johnny's talent, too.

Great idea, a full blown silent movie for Johnny. :)

Johnny is DEFENITELY a silent movie star! He can do so much w/ just a look or a turn of his head. I would love to see him do Buster Keaton. BUT knowing Johnny he would defenitely make it his own!

Oh My Gosh, I just added that Buster Keaton clip to my iPod last week. I think this guy has a great idea. We just watched B&J yesterday to see those great physicl scenes again.

I would be first in line to see Johnny do this.

What exciting finds! Thanks very much Donna and MCW!

MissCaptainWeird - February 12, 2008 09:15 AM (GMT)
No problem. Johnny is so self effacing he would never admit that he has a knack for physical comedy. But in B & J you can clearly see it.

As well as way back in 21 Jump Street w/ "Who saved the senator."

You know wouldn't it be lovely to see Johnny do a silent movie :thud
