The Lone Ranger

[Steely Dan]

Well, what do you think?

I am looking forward to it.

If Bruckheimer works his Pirates of the Caribbean majic in the old west should be good.

I'm itching for a good western.

Just hope it's not all show and no story.

My girlfriend and i watched all the trailers and some of the 30 sec. ads. I think we will go see it.

Aloha,

The Wife is a Depp fan and wants to see it.

I'll go because she's going.

 

[snubbyfan]

I'm lookin' forward to it too. I was always a fan of the Clayton Moore, Jay Silverheels version.
In "Native" magazine the Navajo and other American Indian Nations approve of Johnny Depps portrayal of Tonto and I wanna see it.

That surprises me, pleasantly. I figured it would be a really odd, off-the-wall portrayal. Might have to see it myself.

I rek'on we'll be going to see the "new" Lone Ranger movie.

If I remember correctly, that doesn't always happen, part of the movie was filmed on Navajo land and Depp was ceremoniously blessed by the Navajo nation. Tonto was portrayed as Comanche and apparently Depp has some Native blood and was accepted by the Comanche nation as a tribal member.

In my "older guy opinion" Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels are the only two people to play The Lone Ranger and Tonto.

 

[Rpg]

John Wayne isn't in it

May still be entertaining

I'll probably make it one of the three or four I see in the theater each year.

My oldest son and I are extras in the movie. Spent six weeks in Creede, Colorado on set as background fodder. Don't know if we made the final cut but we are sure gonna go find out on opening day!!!

 

[Steely Dan]

Kyf......that's very cool.

In my "older guy opinion" Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels are the only two people to play The Lone Ranger and Tonto.

Maybe so..but they're both dead.

 

[jaykellogg]

This is a story of Clayton Moore appearing at a car dealership in Charlotte. It is a hoot!

Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels are THE only Lone Ranger & Tonto in my opinion. Besides which I can't stand anything with Depp.

 

[bishopm14]

I'm going to go see it with the girlfriend. We're both looking forward to it.
Looks good to me, but what do I know? I actually like the 1981 Legend of the Lone Ranger movie, which I gather was panned as one of the worst movies ever. I even tracked it down on DVD.
On the other hand, I used to enjoy the black and white originals when I was a kid (re-re-re-runs), but if I try to watch them nowdays, they're almost unwatchable for me.

T.L.R. and Jaykellogg made me spit coffee on my computer, too funny!

In my "older guy opinion" Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels are the only two people to play The Lone Ranger and Tonto.

one of my most memorable moments in life was the time I met Clayton Moore, in person. he was in full costume, handed me one of his revolvers and we put on a mock gun fight for the children in the hospital's pediatric ward. he out drew me as if I was made of stone and the revolver felt like "N" frame weight.

Is Depp now qualified to receive casino revenue?

Marlon Brando was Depp's acting mentor. The director of the Chris Reeve "Superman" movie was warned that Brando would attempt to play Superman's father as a "purple balloon".

Depp has taken on that Brando trait, and in most of his recent movies has been doing the "purple balloon", the "Lone Ranger"appears to be another example of his OTT acting.

We will go see it. Neither my wife or I have any expectations whatsoever, and I do not expect it to be anything even close to what the characters have traditionally been. As a matter of fact, given this day and age, I expect Tonto to be the main character who changes the Ranger into what he is.

I understand that the National Audubon Society disapproves of Johnny Depp's makeup, if not his performance.
