I'm gay and I love Johnny Depp. I think more gay people like myself who work in TV should own up to loving actors and Johnny Depp is one of the most hunky of them all.

Seriously?
The first pirates movie was amazing.
The 2nd and 3rd were jokes.
If this happens I sure hope they don't make a 5th movie!

Grand idea!! And here's a thought- lets add a couple more new characters:-Antonio Banderas as the capitan of the Spirited Spanish Galleon (Note:he does comedy and kid movies very well- Mom's like him too)and Colin Farrell as Devlin the Black Irish Pirate=Captn Black meets Captain Jack. I've a passion for handsome pirates!!!

I am SO EXCITED!!!!!!! Am a relatively new pirates fan but watch them any/every time they come on -- recently upgraded to Starz package because they are shown so often -- Johnny Depp has a new fan - loved all his past movies but would give almost everything I have to sail on the Black Pearl with Captain Jack - or even fly away with Will Turner on the Flying Dutchman -- LOVE THE IDEA OF #4!!!! Maybe Captain Jack can rescue one of Will & Lizzie's kids - possibly their daughter? & fall in love for real - esp. since he was searching for the fountain of youth at end of #3? Just a way to tie them back in ya know -- CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW LIVES!!!!HOOSAH!!!!

Johnny Depp is good as Jack Sparrow but should not play the Mad Hatter!!!!
Jim Carey is better for the role and he should have played Willie Wonka too. The movie would've been sooooooo much better with Jim Carey.

Jim Carey?? I love him too but he can't COMPARE Johnny Depp.

Yes I DEFINITELY want to see another pirtates movie especially if Johnny Depp is Jack again. What I don't want to see is him being reduced to comic relief. In the first movie it seemed that despite his mannerisms and craziness there was a fairly clever mind underneath it all. I realize he's gone thru a lot but he's quite multi-faceted a character and I just hope he's not made too silly. But either way I will see it, I'm sure I'll love it, and then I'll go on youtube and made a ton of new vids to it. lol

I have tried to post this 3 times now. Let's see if it works this time. OK?

Instead of the elections, bank failures, & terrorists, and other sad things this week, we need some good something to escape for at least a minute

YAY!!! JACK IS BACK!!!

I cried when I saw the 3rd one & the end was left some loose ends open & was seeming to present a few closing ones a few too, so the POC movies could go either way. There is going to be a lot of "tap dancing" about how to fix the Will & Elizabeth & their children & the Flying Dutchman thing. Several times it was said in parts 2 & 3 that whoever is the captain of the dutchman was supposed to be on there for all eternity or until someone stabs the heart & it kills the capt., has to take his place. Jus like what happened to Davy Jones & and Will at the end of the 3rd one of the saga. It will be interesting to see what happens next.

Oh. Hell. YES!!! I'm a little leary about a fourth Pirates, but who cares!! I'll watch it and own it!! I've loved Johnny since I was twelve, 21 years and counting. I loved the second and third Pirates when other people didn't. I wouldn't think they'd do a fourth unless they thought they'd do it great. And Johnny as the Mad Hatter?? Who else could pull it off? No one. And Tim Burton directing it is just too perfect. LOVE IT!!! And all you political crackheads, this is no place for it, so take it somewhere else!!!

I'm just a bit curious. The Magazine HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP reported his profiles were found on the famous 30+ 40+ rich women seeking affairs site [ ____Seeking40plus COM_____ ] last week and he was seeking his mature baby there now!

Yeah! What else is there to say? Hell yeah! Johnny Depp totally rules in the Pirates series. I can't wait to see it. This is the best news I have heard all (political) season.

7:46 PM Anonymous Says:

2:44, wow. I guess Ted Casablanca was right on the money when he said that Hillary and her supporters like you are going all out to sabotage the Obama campaign.

We know you are lying because Obama has vaulted in the polls. He does not need Hillary on the ticket to win, and at this point, changing the ticket would be a campaign liability.

Just out of curiosity, how do you sleep at night?

what the heck?? i thought orlando quit. seriously. he was gonna do other movies...

12:51pm.. you're right. There are extremists of all religions.. but muslims are the only ones blowing up children and anyone who doesn't believe what they do

If you want to become a socialist country, vote for Obama. That's what he says he wants to do with the USA, take money from the rich and give it to the poor. Make everyone poor. Great future president to be voting for
===================================

Muslims are not the only ones blowing up and killing people. Killing people, not just children. Separating children from others killed signifies that it is more acceptable for adults to be murdered. Certainly children killed is a more heinous crime. Abortion doctors, clinics, history all show that all religions have extreme fanatics that kill. Not all Muslims kill.

Take money from the rich and give to the poor? Sounds like Robin Hood. And of course McCain's plain to give MORE tax breaks to those in less financial distress makes sense. In case you had not noticed the poor are getting poorer and the middle class are becoming poor. Trickle down has not worked. But sure, lets create a society of extreme homelessness. Unhealthy, uneducated kids. And it has nothing to do with working or not. Minimum wage jobs do not cut it to make ends meet anymore and not all have the ability to work more than 40 hours. Many qualified people out there do not have jobs after layoffs because there aren't any. But yep, let's give a huge tax break to those secure in their homes and nada to those struggling. Makes total sense.

and you point is???? From what I can see this story has nothing in it about politics or Obama. So please kindly take your political sh!t elsewhere and stop trying to stir things up.

Love Johnny Depp by the way and can't wait to see the next movie. Alice in Wonderland should be interesting.
