Thanks for that news, MB; I saw a similar article from a different source today.  For what it's worth (and I've been following somewhat closely), I had never heard before that Johnny Depp was offered a part called "Johnny" in any of the Sin City movies, and am not sure I believe it.  According to Robert Rodriguez, he wanted Johnny to play the role of Jackie Boy in the first Sin City; this was back in 2004.  But Johnny ended up not having enough time in between filming The Libertine and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory that year, so the role went to Benicio del Toro (who was great!).  In addition, ever since the first Sin City, but mostly for the upcoming Sin City 3 (if it ever happens!  They'd better go ahead and do 2 first!) Johnny has also been heavily rumored to play a character called Wallace.  But so much time has passed by now (geez, nearly a decade!) that I have no idea if Johnny is still interested at this point.  But I've never heard any rumors for him to play another character in Sin City 2.

Anyhow, this is great news for JGL.  I loved the first Sin City and think that he'd be a really great match for it.  Rodriguez's more recent projects (Spy Kids, Grindhouse, Shark Boy and Lava Girl) haven't always been that great, but at least he's someone who thinks outside the box!

(Incidentally, though sorry to get off topic for a sec- regarding the role that Johnny played in Rodriguez's Once Upon A Time In Mexico, Agent Sands, that part was originally offered to George Clooney!)

Hey, just getting back to town after being away for the holidays.  Great news about the Fangoria Top Ten!     Hoping it'll make some more lists, too!

There are still only 5 nominees each for lead actor, lead actress, supporting actor, and supporting actress.  There can be up to 10 films nominated, but they changed the rules again last year and there can be less than 10 films if they want to nominate less (I think there were 9 last year). 

The only time I think DS or its actors might have had a shot would've been for the Golden Globes, which has separate categories for drama and comedy/musical (Plus they love Johnny and have nominated him more often than most if not all of the other awards organizations).  But those awards have already been announced, and DS got nada   Oh well!

Another thing to think about the Scream awards, or other awards that focus on horror/sci-fi.  It might have more chances for some of those.  I don't recall what time of year when those awards occur.

I watched it too, and thought it was much better than I was expecting it to be.  I'm not 100% sold on it, but would be willing to watch it to see if it could find its footing.  But I guess they'd have to show more episodes for that to happen   

Kinda off-off topic, but as a little tidbit, I saw a photo recently of Johnny Depp in Tonto attire posing with a kid that looked awfully familiar, named Mason Cook.  I checked IMDb and sure enough it's the same kid who played Eddie Munster on this pilot.  So he's going to be in The Lone Ranger, too.  Kinda creepy looking, which of course is a plus for this show 

Dom, I think her offer is for any book purchase, though I suppose I was speaking specifically about the new Return To Collinwood book.  Charles_Ellis, point taken- I don't mean my post to be venomous- I actually think KLS is quite sweet.  So I'm sorry if I was a bit mean. But she *is* rather aggressive and persistent in her salesmanship, and I guess I confess it's fun to poke fun a bit     As I said, perhaps some folks on my page will be interested after seeing her post, and that's a win-win situation.  But it's just funny that she found my site, despite it not really having any real connection to DS.

I tried to reply to this last night, but seemed to come in in the middle of some board maintenance    Anyway, I did spot the cane in the episode, and I definitely think it was intentional, and very cool! 

Like the others said, each season is self-contained, with the a good number of the actors from season 1 in totally different roles this season.  I love this aspect- I agree that it's very Dark Shadows-like (even *more* so, since a lot of the DS characters were relatives of characters in a different time period).  It gives the feeling of it being like a repertory company or something, kind of like, oh, I don't know... Tim Burton with Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter 

At first, I was thinking that this season is a little too busy and packed with too many crazy stories and plot points that seem unrelated.  However, as the season is developing, I am adjusting to the crazy atmosphere, and I'm reminded that this was similar to the style last season, as well- I remember thinking the show was pretty disjointed and cray-cray, but that is part of the charm and the style, and it ends up serving the story. 

Holy Hekate, LOOK at those shoulders!  (jaw dropping at Cathy's snapshot of JLM's nude back)  THAT will get you through the straits of doldrum on a Saturday night!

Happy to be of service!     And here's hoping for more shirtless scenes to come!
