#1 He mostly waited until his movie was winding down. He's an idiot, but not a total idiot. Either that or he got lucky with the timing.

#2 I do respect him for moving to France though. Alec Baldwin made threats but never followed through. I'd love to see half of Hollywood move to France, they'd no doubt be happier.

#3 Americans ARE dumb puppies, because they'll continue to go pay to see this asshole's movies.

#4 Another Hollywood idiot giving an interview to the european press. They still don't get the fact that their words will be all over the world the next day. And then they cry "foul" when we call them on it.

#5 ..told the German magazine he couldnât see himself paying more than short visits to his Los Angeles residence in the present political climate.

Do us all a big favor, and don't even bother to visit. Go straight back to France, and stay there. Forever.

#6 What's eating Gilbert Grape?
Is Johnny is still pissed Leonardo DiCaprio stole his career? Perhaps he could call his brat pack buddy River Phoenix to discuss US foreign policy... Oh wait, Johnny never did pick up that tab at the Viper room.
(Sorry, obscure movie references followed by Hollywood drug references... my bad)

#8 No wait guys!!! Another Hollywood high school drop out gives his insight on the pressing problems of the world. I'm sure all of those years waiting tables while waiting to become a star has finally paid off for him.
Besides, can you think of a better place to send a big piece of Amercian Sh!t? Sorta ties right in to the puppy dog theme, huh?

#9 Paul's on it...this was a stupid comment by an actor. I personally totally enjoyed his character in Pirates of the Carribean. He made the movie! I also enjoyed the coke and popcorn the refreshment counter person sold me. In spite of the fact, my 15, 14 yr old sons knows more about geopolitics and national security than either Mr. Depp or the popcorn guy. The real outrage is that the media whores portray him as knowing anything about anything other than acting.

#10 "depp" is German for idiot (no, really -- this means something, I tell you...)

#11 Anyone else wonder what got into ol' Johnny's supply? I think he needs to find another dealer.

The really crappy thing is that he was pretty damn good in "Pirates of the Caribbean". And I liked him in "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas", too. He nailed both of those parts.

Capsu78--I got what you were referring to, which means we've both been spending too much time goofing off when we should have been working! ;) You don't tell my boss, I won't tell yours....

#12 Johnny Depp with a commentary on America? Whoa! Guess I'd better pay attention.
Enlighten me, Johnny baby.
