>Finally, asked by an American reporter what Depp would say to anyone who didn’t think he should have come to Cannes, the actor dropped what may be the most odd metaphor ever to be uttered, in any language, at a film festival press conference. “Imagine that they said to me, I cannot go to McDonald’s [long pause] … for life [long pause] … because somewhere [long pause] if you got them all in one room, 39 people watched me eat a Big Mac on a loop. Who are they? Why do they care? Some species [long pause] … a tower of mashed potatoes covered in light from a computer screen?”What did he mean by this?

>>184983464He's disparaging against the people who not only wronged him, but threw him under the bus the way the media does with people it targets. Refering to them as essentially inhuman "other species" he goes further and calls them not men/women, but sacks of mashed potatoes (fat, worthless, sloth) covered in light from a computer screen (that they used to watch his downfall, trial, and eventual attempt to come back in the spotlight).He's basically calling out Holla Forums and other similar forums who tried to ruin his life without actually knowing anything about the situation, and, now proven innocent, are still disparaging against him.

This guy put the finisher on #BelieveWomen and they can’t fucking stand they were proven wrong.
if you think this is deep youre retarded. he makes sense, but its not coherent. he did it on the spot which is harder, but you shouldnt read into it. it does feel like earthrocking tho, which is extremely based.
>>184977197Based
>>184984173hmm... but he was eating the Big Mac, so I think he is identifying himself as having participated in the vulgar banality.

>>184984520
I wrote a script for Depp's American film comeback where he plays himself, and it will win him his first Oscar for Best Actor. Screenshot this.
>>184979960>media (owned by conservatives)((They)) are not conservatives, they're single-minded preservatives.
Why is this wife beating rapist still free?
He meant that the media and Hollywood are overly concerned about a handful of losers who obsessively get outraged and seek outrage. These people, mashed potato pasty flabby spineless ficks who live behind a screen, for some reason wield a disproportionate amount of power because their vocal minority bleating scares the shit out of studios. It’s cancel culture dictated by a very small subset of losers.I had to read it twice but it was clear what he meant.
>>184977197What is "eating a Big Mac on a loop" a metaphor for? I understand the rest, but I don't understand the comparison he's drawing.
>>184987890Why is the lying, man-hating whore still free?
>>184983844He meant imagine if he would be banned from Hollywood because somewhere, somehow there is a small sliver of people seeking out things to get outraged about and watching it on loop to get r8led up and spread their vitriol.Why should he be blacklisted because of these losers who speak for no one?
>>184983621>Holla Forums... tried to ruin his lifeThis never happened
youtu.be
>>184988115They are offended by some innocuous action of his (eg a movie or line) and instead of just moving on with their life and changing the channel they do the opposite: they consume it repeatedly (on loop) for no other reason than to feel angry. Any emotion to make them feel alive.
>>184988115something boring and private, or at least not something people should pay too much attention to for too long like stalkers.
>>184988207Thank you.
>>184983621> calling out Holla Forums and other similar forums who tried to ruin his life Uh what? Reddit is over there.
>>184985539jannies deleting unambigously Holla Forums related threads was a historical low point
>>184988115To Johnny, making a film is as banal and corporate an endeavor as eating a Big Mac. But everyone wants to watch him eat the Big Mac. Then all the sudden this tower of mashed potatoes says he should be banned from McDonalds. What can be left after that, if but a megapint?
>>184987890Cause he's the son of the current president.
>>184977197Was this a reference to Close Encounters??
>>184988115Just saying.
>>184988204fucking LEGEND
>>184988204That's 1965 Bob Dylan tier. Pretty based
>>184988581Close Encounters with Heard's Behind
>>184988514>>184988581>>184988204Oh he means fat redditors. Okay.
>>184977648
>>184977197
>>184977197Such an american thing to do to focus on his personal life instead of talking about the movie and his work.
>>184988883Real life is frequently more interesting than their gay ass movies. Sorry not sorry.
>>184988964t. NPC living vicariously through celebrities
>>184989070Off to your capeshit containment threads I guess.
>>184988204How high was he though?
>>184988204He's turning into Ozzy Osborne.
>>184989287High enough.
>>184977197So... he doesn't want to be judged based on his past mistakes or embarrassing public moments? Is that what he's trying to say?
>>184977197Kino
>>184985539I did say aside from trannies and coomers, bro.
>>184983464It's a retarded way to communicate he thinks tabloid culture, terminally online obsessed stalkers, and woke cancel culture have caused him to suffer and feel like he doesn't belong. Like the nonce that he is he has no braincells to actually present a thought let alone convey it in a clear way. Compare mashed potato brain to:Unjustifiably in a position that I'd rather not be in. But the cream will rise to the top, ooh yeah.This is how you do it. You barely acknowledge your grievance and include a statement of resolve in the face of adversity because you don't want to be perceived as a victim but instead as a warrior. Basically point out the shit treatment you received but don't wallow in how it effected you. The aidience can and will infer how it could have effected you and be all the more admirable you overcame it.
>>184990395
>>184980014It really is disgusting. Anyone who had a strong opinion on that case before the trial evidence came out just cannot be trusted with voting.
>>184990395>t. mashed potato towerYeah maybe he should've had ChatGPT make a statement for him, instead of being his loveable poetic megapint-fueled self. Kys.
Ok so why is the state propagandist angry at Depp for eating a Big Mac on video? Where's the video?
>>184991131Perhaps you are thinking of the Baywatch fag?
>>184977529>t. Tower of mashed potatoes covered in light from a computer screen
>>184986328>where lawyers literally rig the jury with dipshits to get the outcome they wantboth sides have the same opportunity to rig the jury.
Amazing how Depp did everything right and the media is still trying to gaslight people I think at this point the best thing to do is try and ignore them as much as possible, the one thing that makes sites like Variety or Rolling Stone seethe is being ignored and success
>>184980533>someone somewhere said I cannot go to McDonald’s for lifeYou’re saying I should stay at home instead of going to awards shows?>if you got them all in a room 39 people would watch me eat a Big MacBecause a small number of people spread out over the world obsess and seethe about everything I do>who are they? Why do I care?These people are unimportant losers>a tower of mashed potatoesThey’re also fat, inhuman blobs>covered in light from a computer screenWho engage with the world only through their computer screens/phonesWell anons, did I decipher it?
Should have gone for a "succulent Chinese meal" metaphor
>>184991805
>>184991886Say what you will about Johnny Depp, but the son of a bitch knows a good metaphor
>>184992017True. Needs to work on delivery, pronunciation, because it does come off incoherent because of that.It is, to a degree, like he became Jack Sparrow. Too much Jack Sparrow. Jack Sparrow fucked Johnny Depp up pretty good.
>>184992192On some level I think it’s what gives him his charm. It’s like if the chill homeless dude who lives in the alley behind your place won the lottery but still lived the exact same way just in a mansion. It’s burning barrels of trash for warmth in a multimillion dollar mansion levels of absurdism so it becomes charming.
Boy this board really must have been taken over by zoomer scum if you don’t recognize the tower of mashed potatoes comment as an allude to Close Encounters of a Third Kind.
>>184986402>>184985007Brosnan was number 5 though?Connery, Moore, Lazenby, Dalton, Brosnan.
>>184992711Kind of pretentious though.Guess that's what he does for a living though.
>>184992770I didn't understand that scene either. I didn't understand a lot of what happened in that movie and frankly I didn't enjoy the film because of it's whimsical "there's something out there and I need it and it is the best thing that can give my life meaning" shit. So glad Spielberg eventually dropped that xenophilia tripe and made based War of the Worlds where Tom Cruise genocides Xeno scum.
>>184992770>>184988581>>184988514I thought that at first. I have changed my mind.
>>184977301>reporter asks him to dunk on the haters>uhhh mcdonalds
>>184992822I realize this might be dismissed as bias but I feel it’s the opposite of pretentious. I hate most rich people because they all act the same way, they act the way they think rich people should act and do whatever they need to rationalize why they deserve everything they have. I much more respect Depp because he’s more like “why should I comb my hair when I don’t feel like it, I’m just an unhygienic bum who fell into some money”
>>184992911It's Spielberg. It's going to be exaggerated over the top quirky-jewy.Whaddya want?
>>184993171The problem is: Is that his genuine self, or is THAT the facade/the act?
>>184993328He lives his life larping as Keith Richards, even with that vague sort of british accent, slurring words, alcoholism, etc.
>>184977260it's "trolling is an art" not "trolling is a art" you STUPID FUCK
>>184993834That's the feeling one gets yeah.
>>184992192>Too much Jack Sparrow. Jack Sparrow fucked Johnny Depp up pretty good.I think it was Hunter S Thompson that messed him up. He really seemed to admire Thompson and wanted to emulate his relentless drink-and-drugs lifestyle. He may be having fun, but he looks and sounds like shit.
>>184993328Judging by younger character I’d say it’s the exaggerated form of his authentic self, admittedly only he knows for sure but it’s the impression I get. Money changes people no matter what, but if you use it to do more of the things you thought/did without money I can respect that.It’s not like he was told to be Jack Sparrow, that’s a character he came up with himself
>>184994181Probably right.
PILLOWY MOUNDS OF MASHED POTATOES.
>>184994181>>184994425THISHunter S Thompson absolutely fucked him up. Not only through being an influence, but Johnny played Hunter in a movie and has never really been able to turn that off ever since.
>>184994181>messed him upHe's had 100 lifetimes worth of fun, and is still a mega rich and famous actor. 99% of people look worse than Johnny at 60.
>>184992815Barry Nelson played Bond before Connery
>>184983621depp bros, he doesn't know we had his back the whole time. How can we recover?
>>184991805Wow ok, good job.
>>184992192*delivery and pronunciation
>>184995120
>>184992192I think he tried to become Raoul Duke, Jack Sparrow just piled onto what he was already getting himself deep into
