It's hard to say you don't like and/or appreciate the magnificence that is Johnny Depp. But... he's just been cast as TONTO in the new Lone Ranger movie.
I am struck dumb by this. Guys... fuck. Let's just say this: My senior thesis screenplay in college was about a Navajo kid who calls himself Tonto because it was the only character on TV or in the movies when he was growing up that was played by an actual Native American. And despite the gross misrepresentation, it was all he had to cling to in this age of pop-culture masquerading as actual culture. And now, apparently, he won't even have that much.
