It looks like the production of The Lone Ranger is back on. Production was halted because of an escalating budget that had grown to $250,000,000. After much wailing and gnashing of teeth, the budget has been reduced to a mere $215,000,000; in part because Depp agreed to a pay cut. What I find dismaying is the need to throw so much money into making a western! I can understand big special effect budges for Transformers, Independence Day, and Killer Clowns From Outer Space, but this is a WESTERN! how much effects do you need for a guy to clutch his chest and fall convincingly to the ground? Oh wait, I almost forgot that Depp can't really fall down in a believable manner. Sadly, the movie will probably make money because of the cool special effects and the fact that Depp has a much bigger name than actual acting ability. [/rant] |

You should really just ignore the whole thing especially after it takes in the cash and you waste money hating on Depp some more :) |

I'm afraid you'll go spend money to go see it since it is the Lone Ranger. Then Depp will be sending me messages about you bad mouthing him and I really need that time to nail Tim Burton's wife. |

I will download an illegal copy of it so that I can point and say "See, it's even worse than I predicted" and won't have spent a dime on it. |

What's the reward for turning in file sharers in the USA? :) |

Either a feeling of pretentiousness or guilt. They let you choose. If you're lucky, they RIAA will say 'thank you' before hanging up and never contacting you again. |

Actually, history shows that the whistle blower is also charged and convicted on the grounds they had to be doing it to know about it. |

Yeah, the RIAA is going to be wondering what you're covering up for, and you can probably expect a lawsuit in about four to six weeks after your phone call. |

Oh, do you guys still pretend you're a separate country? Texas does that too sometimes, it's always hilarious. |

Mexico figured it out awhile ago. It's not working out too well. |
