How can you say that Ed Wood's "will" was lost in the role Tracer? That performance was all will!
But I thought Sean Penn was great in Sweet and Lowdown. I don't think that the depiction of a certain particular kind of humanity is neccessary for a movie; naturalistic acting is of course just as much of a style as Depp's mannered approach.

Not enough people up in here are talking about his performance in Fear and Loathing which I must say was totally righteous and wonderful (as someone who's witnessed The Hunter Thompson Show firsthand). It probably helps that he actually, y'know, knows Hunter Thompson and has been around him and stuff. This is not an advantage he had making Sleepy Hollow.
Plus he's one of the only rock-stars-in-a-band where the band wasn't half-bad (although it helped that 2 of the 4 members came from Butthole Surfers).

not to be a prick but I could've sworn this was my idea.
Johnny Depp is an excellent actor. He's not my favorite though. My favorite actor is R2-D2.

I agree, but I prefer it because I think it produces more open-ended, less determined results.
I'll admit I find Depp fascinating, because of his narcissism, which he never seems comfortable with. He goes out of his face to efface "himself" (whatever that is; if you watch an interview with him he's lost in his own haze to the point of being bad-mannered). He loads up on tics and extraordinary makeup, it's like self-flagellation. Thats why DiCaprio will never be Depp: DiCaprio is totally at ease with his own self-regard.

Actually, Ally, I think I got the Tom=HST, and I certainly didn't come up with F&LNYC. It's an easy mistake to make, a simple way to tell the difference is

The director for Preacher appears to be Rachel Talalay. Eek.
