I don't know what to chalk up the lack of box office success of the recent The Lone Ranger to:

  • bad marketing?
  • Johnny Depp - fat?
  • Johnny Depp - way weird?
  • Johnny Depp - with a dead bird on his head?
  • Johnny Depp - typecast as Capt Jack Sparrow for Disney audiences?
  • moviegoers not embracing the Western genre in the current climate?
  • Mis/Bad-timing for Westerns?


be that as it may, my kids and i enjoyed TLR - it could've been better but then it could've been worse
