I just wasted 87 minutes of my life on "Ultraviolet" last night. Egad. Poor. Very, very poor.

No, I never saw that one. The Cronenberg movie came out about 10 years ago, I think.

Cronenbergs stuff usually rocks. I didn't see crash tho. I'm Spader averse.

But the Brood, Scanners, Videdrome, Dead ringers?

Horror as metaphor? He's great.

Then I hope you've seen Ed Wood. Mr Depp is wonderful as the worst director ever!

Hiding the pistol is my freak out from that movie.

Yes, I have it on DVD.

I agree. They can quit with the pretty boy label they try to give him. He is an amazing actor!

You can say that again. For proof, just watch him doing an interview sometime as himself. How such an empty vessel can come across with substance in a movie amazes me.

I fully agree...you know who else is an amazing performer with NO personality of his own? Darryl Hammond. He's such a wonderful impersonator but in interviews he is flat, dull and void.
