Aaah … you knew I’d have to do it! Couldn’t resist, mate!
Johnny Depp won two awards last night! He won Best Comedic Performance for Captain Jack Sparrow, and he won Best Villain for Sweeney Todd.
And he looked gorgeous (no surprise there) and about twenty years old (no surprise there, either) and he has a new tattoo on the inside of his left forearm which says ‘Silence, Exile, Cunning’. It’s a quote from ‘A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man’ by James Joyce, and embodies a philosophy of non-compromise and honesty in his approach to life, and his artistic integrity.
You can see the show on the MTV site, but only if you’re in the US. Otherwise, you can find the Best Comedic Performance here, and the Best Villain here, both on YouTube.
Now, see what he’s done? I’ve spent so long looking at the press pictures and watching the videos that I’ve forgotten to put my own little Pirate’s eye drops in!
*Runs off to remedy that immediately*
My thanks to MorgueFile for the use of this photograph.
Jay, I came by to say thanks for stopping by my place and have just spent a few minutes going over previous works of yours…by the way I love the swan photo…such a beautifully dangerous bird! I enjoyed the MTV award commentary more than I enjoyed the show…my boys grew up in England and when we were transferred back Stateside they were devastated…no more Top Ten Music shows or videos on ITV or BBC2…MTV was created just for them according to The Newspaper Editor (older son…see Progressive Journal in my sidebar) Anyway, I’m enjoying visiting with you, you have a great blog site here

Thanks, Sandi! So, you just happened to be living in Engand when you had the boys? Where did you live?
I didn’t hear the commentary - I’m gonna have to look to see if the programme is repeated on MTV sometime to catch up with that!
I’m out of touch with TV, but yeah for Johnny if you’re happy, I’m happy. Haven’t seen many of his movies, I know that’s blasphemy. lol

Ugh……of all the awards shows, the MTV one has to be amongst the silliest…..Kudos to Depp though. (’cause if I didn’t say that, I would get a whuppin’!)
Mr. Nighttimes last blog post..Banality killed the radio star.
I love him in anything and bet I’ve seen everything- Crybaby this weekend and you ??never missed 21 Jump Street.sk
sandy ks last blog post..No Way - Impossible - It can NOT be Monday Already !!!!!!
ahh, well done again to the Deppster. It’s not right that he keeps looking young while I get more whithered by the day though. He’ll be more suited to the next Harry Potter movie than Daniel Radcliffe at this rate.
The new tattoo is just perfect. Delicious man.
Natural - not blasphemy at all, just makes the queue shorter.
Mr N - Yep, and .. Yep. LOL!
Sandy - I missed 21 JS because my boys were babies then and I was too tired for TV in the evenings. How sad is that? Cry Baby is wonderful - I love it!
Jeni - I still say he has a portrait hidden away somewhere. And yes, I love the new tattoo! Not fond of James Joyce myself, but that quote is just so ‘Johnny’.
I missed it! I can’t believe I missed it! That’s horrible, terrible, to unthinkable, to unspeakable! I’m off to view me some links!

JT - Aren’t you glad I put them in there? I tell you, this blog is a public service! LOL!
Yeah, I like him too. Only regret is that I’ve missed him by a fraction of a nano-second while he was getting into a car in Bond Street. Mental note: [why don’t I run faster?] Could have beaten that stupid nano-second!
DeaFulgoras last blog post..do you kung-fu?
You nearly saw him in Bond Street??? Wow. Why didn’t you run faster??? Damn nano-seconds!
Johnny was adorable Sunday night. I swooned when I saw him. So happy he won for best comedic role AND best villain ’cause I love my Johnny funny and I love my Johnny baaaaad.

And Sweeney Todd managed to do both, did he not? But mostly bad. Oh yeah. Very, very good bad.
yeah, damn nano-seconds and crippled post-surgery right knee…!
DeaFulgoras last blog post..World’s shortest fairytale
I haven’t seen Sweeney Todd yet. Would a non-Depp fanatic still enjoy it?
He did look darn good on the awards. How does he manage to stay so young looking? What’s his secret?
Your blog cracks me up so I’ll be back!
Jens last blog post..Friday Eye Candy–Johnny Depp
Jen - it depends on what you like in a movie! If you like musicals with … um … sharp edges, then you’ll love it. If you don’t like musicals AND you’re not a Depp fan, then you might not. It’s very black, but there’s a lot of humour and it has a great deal of charm. It’s Tim Burton, after all!

How does he manage to stay so young looking? Haven’t you heard about the portrait? It’s either that, or just damn good genes.
Thanks for the nice comment about my blog!
