Trailer Time: Alice’s Adventures Through The Looking Glass

Tim Burton’s weird version of Alice in Wonderland made a ton of money for some reason.  I’m not sure why.  It did.  I caught it when I was visiting my parents off their cable system.  It was weird and freaky, with Helena Bonham Carter and Johnny Depp being odd.  You know.  Standard Tim Burton movie.

Anyway, there’s a sequel that Burton didn’t direct coming soon.  Trailer after the cut.

Shooting Stars: Which Hollywood Superstars Are Losing Their Edge?

In an article originally published in January, Gabbing Geek asked whether Johnny Depp was intentionally trying to end his A-List movie star status.  The quirky Depp may be tired of franchises, but there are other A-listers who seem to be on the same downward trajectory.  They, however, don’t seem to WANT to be shooting stars.  Whose careers are in the toilet and what can they do to can back on top?  We at Gabbing Geek investigate!

Is Johnny Depp Destroying His Career On Purpose?

For a decade, Johnny Depp was box office gold. In the Pirate films, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Alice In Wonderland, the always eclectic Mr Depp found a way to blend his art house edge with box office gold. Seems those days are over.

What happened, Johnny?  You were the unrivaled box office star of the first decade of the 21st century.  Now the opening weekend of Furious 7 is destroying the former champ.  And I’m not talking about the U.S. markets.  I’m talking about international markets destroying Depp’s U.S. numbers.

In Honor Of Friday The 13th, Let’s Talk About Nightmare On Elm Street

Johnny Depp is not the only one owes his career to Freddy.

Actually, we’ll also look at Friday, but I had to lead with that Brad Pitt picture.  As for it’s caption, I assume most of us know that before he decided to purposely derail his own career (according to Watson), Johnny Depp was a big bloody stain in the first, and by far best, Nightmare on Elm Street movie.

Irony

But back on point (editor’s note: Jimmy, you have a point?  This just seems like filler so you don’t have to wash Watson’s car), do you remember that there was a Nightmare TV series called Freddy’s Nightmare’s that ran from 1988 to 1990?  Probably not, and for good reason, it was horrible.  The biggest issue with such a series was that it really had nothing to do with the movies, and usually only featured Robert Englund as Freddy Kruger in a Tales From The Crypt-esque hosting capacity.
