Where are all the fans???


This is such a wonderful film - its one of my favourites!!! The whole cast was great, but Johnny Depp was just perfect as Sam - handling the physical comedy stuff really well!

So where are all the fans? I thought being a Johnny Depp film may have attracted a few people at the very least, hmmm...


Do you have monkeys in Scotland?

I thought there would be more activity for sure. But do you think also that they might have deleted a pageor two?




Rest in Peace Keith "Guru" Elam (1966-2010)...you will be missed.

Gah! I KNOW! This is one of my favourite JD films and I'm pretty shocked at the number of people who haven't seen it!!! I remember catching it on tv late at night when I was... 10 or 11 maybe, (I don't sleep and I'm 25 now, lol!). I absolutely fell in love with it! I watched my VHS tape so much it broke!!! Thank God for my dvd!!!

Jen: Why movies? What's the attraction?

I love this movie! I watch it at least once a month.

I am here. Watching it now. First time in years. Used to watch it all the time. Oh, nostalgia.

It's a strange film and has some annoying inconsistencies/elements, but I liked it.
