Alhazred posted:Johnny Depp still has a career. Johnny Depp's career is now mostly a secondary character in a secondary Harry Potter franchise. He lasted longer than most people expected, but I wouldn't necessarily call his current career a success.

What? The whole movie is named after his character and it's going to make a billion dollars.

I'm surprised they haven't had his face changed yet again so he's not in the next movie.

It baffles me that he's in those movies. They could have hired some hotter younger dude they wouldn't have had to pay as much and they wouldn't have to slatter a ton of make up on a corpse to make him look like a somewhat living person who doesn't suffer from halitosis.

I think Depp is mostly coasting on momentum. Before anything bad came out about him, he became one of the world's biggest superstars. His fame and box office draw are at the point where the only thing that will kill it is a credible arrest for rape or murder. Banks didn't even wait for more than a Wikipedia article before engaging in animal sacrifice, saying racist poo poo about Zayn Malik, and getting 3 assault charges in one year (including clawing at a guy on an airplane so she could disembark faster). It's like being awful just comes naturally to her.

Johnny Depp is not that big a deal now. Yeah he's Grindelwald but the movie's star is still Eddie Redmayne and Depp is kida sharing his spot in the movie with Jude Law's Dumbledore. Disney is even trying to reboot Pirates now, and they're getting the Deadpool writers so don't be surprised if we get pirate hero Captain Ryan Reynolds. The only Depp I care about now is his hot daughter Lily-Rose. Freakin' fiveheads always gets me.

On actors who don't seem to age, I always thought that a good choice for a Dorian Gray story would have been Elijah Wood. He never stops looking fairly young and can sell innocence pretty well because of it. You could believe that even with a bunch of evidence pointing towards him, no one would suspect him of wrongdoing. Every other version of that character ends up looking fairly evil from the start (Penny Dreadful had the best take on him) so it's bizarre that anyone trusts him enough to be in a position to be harmed by him. Also an important aspect of the character that gets ignored in adaptions is the sense of shame, - IIRC he hides his portrait because he is ashamed of what he is becoming, despite his attempts to fool himself otherwise. At the end of the novel he is so disgusted by what his portrait, and by extension he, has become that he slashes it up, and then kills himself. No one even realises he's dead, all they find is a slashed portrait of a missing person, and an old man who no one recognises, riddled with disease and with his throat cut.

KozmoNaut posted:You can absolutely get stuff like that, and it's not actually all that expensive, compared to poo poo like Hermés. There's a bit like that in Discworld. Vimes is rich enough to spend 50$ on boots, to never need another pair in his life, because they'd be sturdy enough, but he still likes his 5$ ones, in a cardboard box, that last a year. He muses that the rich stay rich by being rich enough to not spend money on upkeep pretty much. I imagine it scales up to a house at least. Spend 100k on a house, and you own a house, all you have to do is maintain it (not free, but see further). Can't spend 100k? Rent, rear end in a top hat, 500+ a month, or it's the bus stop for ya. Numbers are out of whack, but yeah.

You get a good quality product with a larger price and it'll last much longer, but you can only afford the low-cost one which ends up being more expensive, local groceries being more expensive than in far away supermarkets, but you'll need a car and so on.

He mentions for example how much they'd be able to save on TP if they could buy the more expensive (but more cost-effective) value pack with more rolls. Maybe a long shot and it's the article about his bedridden mum who, shame on her decadent filth, owns a refrigerator. Also Cracked has gone full scorched earth and has removed their old stuff huh?

Has anyone been seeing more of the Progressive "act you age" commercials? They usually feature a millennial doing baby things with the tagline "act your age", implying they should get off their parents insurance and get their own. It strikes me an incredibly tone-deaf

It strikes me an incredibly tone-deaf Its not aimed at you. Its aimed at boomer parents, because they make more money off four people (2 parents, 2 kids) with three plans than they do off of four people with one plan. It's to convince the parents that their kids are lazy and entitled and are only 'acting like adults' if they're paying 40% more for their insurance by being on a solo plan.

At least it's ironic and making fun of millennial stereotypes. It's no worse than one of those collegiate Monopoly games like the Penn State one with football showers in lieu of Baltimore Avenue.
