Cry Baby; which was coolly vintage, but a spoof. He was dreamy onstage. Edward Scizzorhands was awesome & the soundtrack magical. Johnny was gorgeously goth, & played the innocence of a mad scientist creation so well. My favorite scene was the sculpture in snowfall dance. Wow; & I watched the music video repeatedly... Ingenious! The otherworldly quality is a refreshing element. What's Eating Gilbert Grape was so slice~of~life to be sadly believable. It reminded me of the Grapes of Wrath, by Steinbeck; only more modern... very back~woodsy & well~done. Although it was evocative of empathy & acceptance of the shortcomings of loved ones; I found it a little depressing. I am affected too deeply by melodrama, & normally avoid such cinema. I only watched it to see Johnny! Then there was Benny & Joon... Juney Moon. Although steeped in stark realism; its quirky talented exuberance was exquisitely bright as the stars within. Scene after scene, the perfect compliments played; in spontaneous & unique fashion worthy of simultaneous laughter & tears. And, of course, Johnny does Chaplin better than Chaplin... although, admittedly; the movie 'Chaplin' was great, as well. Who wouldn't love the housecleaning? He made it seem so fun, like the artist he is. It was quite romantic & loving. I must say that Depp makes a great ghost & pirate; yet, the Willie Wonka character grossed me out... as did the movie. I can make a better Wonka Bar. I loved him in Chocolat. Only Johnny can draw me to see a violent movie... or used to, rather. I avoid such nowadays. I could swear he was at the annual Texan festival, [Keep Austin Weird] Eeyore's Birthday Party. I'll fetch the photo.
