Disney Executive Dick Cook who resigned in 2009 was a big supporter of Johnny Depp and his portrayal of Sparrow when other executives were unsure. Johnny Depp was paid $55.5 million for it. Disney was also began to be IP focused at that point and didn’t have Marvel or Star Wars yet. Pirates 4 was probably a safe bet…

Geoffrey Rush got Me Too’d read the news.

Why do they keep casting Brits in roles like this? Geez?

GIVE IT ALL UP TO HOMELESS VILLE!

RDJ went to jail and rehab. He did penance. Affleck not. To answer the original question he keeps getting work because he’s a good actor, but despite winning a lead actor Academy Award his most high profile role outside a David Lowery film is third billing festival independent BEHIND Segel and Johnson.

The Vast of Night opening shot is a ripoff, sorry “homage” to F For Fake.

Cerny surprsied me. He was right about checkeroard rendering being an effective substitute for expensive 4K in my opinion. But he either lied or was outright wrong about cutting development times down.

Yeah they are really falling behind. 1080 60fps should have been achievable on PS360 era. I’m pretty sure Sony advertised it at their reveal conference. Then PS4 was supposed to be the 4K era but nope, underpowered. Now PS5 is pushing 8K yet despite listing it on the box has no out of the box support for it. WTF? How…

I have always gotten the first gen of every console minus the original Xbox. I also was in the right position to get a Wii-U first. I think I’ll wait for the mid-tier upgrade this time. The only next-gen games that I want (Halo: Infinite and Horizon: Forbidden West) are thankfully coming to current gen.
