About Me
- Name: wcmartell
- Location: Studio City, California, United States
I've written 19 films that were carelessly slapped onto celluloid: 3 for HBO, 2 for Showtime, 2 for USA Net, and a whole bunch of CineMax Originals (which is what happens when an HBO movie goes really, really wrong). I've been on some film festival juries, including Raindance in London (twice - once with Mike Figgis and Saffron Burrows, once with Lennie James and Edgar Wright). Roger Ebert talked about me with Gene Siskel on his 1997 "If We Picked The Winners" Oscar show. I'm quoted a few times in Bordwell's great book "The Way Hollywood tells It". My USA Net flick HARD EVIDENCE was released on video the same day as the Julia Roberts' film Something To Talk About and out-rented it in the USA. I've also written a whole bunch of theatrical projects that never got made (I got paid) and was stupid enough to actually *turn down* the job of adapting Dan Brown's ANGELS & DEMONS. On the personal side - I'm single and fat and 6 foot 4 inches tall. Like dogs, hate cats.
Why is the blog called Sex In A Submarine?

Is it just me or does Johnny Depp look like he's just going through the motions?
Fourth film as the same character... new director...
Add to that *we* have seen him do this 3 times in the past, which means it will take more to "wow" us. Hey, if it works and makes money, there will be 2 more... and if Depp doesn't come back they will use Jar Jar Binks.
I hope there are some surprises left in the film.
Always nice to see Geoffrey Rush.
So wait, is this 3 or 4? They kinda blur.
But goddamnit, swashbuckling galore, including chicks with swords, and mermaids and zombies, I am so in.
Depp seemed his delightful deppy self to me, maybe that note of apathy you pick up, Emily, is his acquired French ennui (they did come up with that word after all) peeking through his acting.
