Does Depp actually have any Native American Blood? I mean I see not having The Rock play Tonto, but someone like Val Kilmer would seem much more appropriate IMO.

How come I can just picture his first line.
Tonto: Ugh!
Lone Ranger: What?
Tonto: Sorry, indigetsion. I have got to stop eating at that Mexican ride through place in town. I was saying, if you expect me to ride into town so I could get beat up and you save the day, well my friend, you are in for big dissapointments.

Is no one else slightly... what, annoyed with Depp? The "I'm quirky, I'm original," stink of Tim Burton just doesn't seem to be coming off.
It was Sweeny Todd that pissed me off the most. It was just, a mix of boring and pointless, with a little bit of too-cool. Tim Burton might be original if all of his movies weren't about the same thing, and it would if I could figure out what that thing was.

You want us to blame Depp for Burton's sins?
*shakes fist* Beast!
Anyway, The Lone Ranger isn't Depp's next Burton project. That would be the stop-motion Alice in Wonderland.

Nobody forced Depp to do movie after movie with Tim Burton. They're no DiCaprio and Scorcese,
I respectfully disagree.
According to Depp it was Burton on the set of Edward Scissorhands who convcined him to march to his own beat. I'd say generally speaking that philosophy has put Depp in good stead. Folks may tire of Depp and Burton doing so many movies together that have some similarities, but if the men enjoy working together that's probably all that matters to them.
As director and actor, if they can get the funding they have no obligation to ke tou to movie goers.
If one wishes to see Depp not playing dark, strange characters, go rent Finding Neverland. It was a very enjoyable movie.
