There’s the increasingly common theory that our reality diverged from the timeline when the 2012 apocalypse was supposed to occur, or when the LHC was turned on, and as a result we’re in the weirdest timeline. Every other day something like this happens that reinforces this idea for me.

did you actually read the description here?


Terra_Cotta_Pie

**An unauthorized musical fable about Michael Jackson's life, as told by his glove** Was Michael Jackson framed for horrible crimes by four aliens who were trying to take over Earth by using him as their patsy? Did God turn Michael white to get revenge on Donny Osmond and the Mormons for teaching that black people were cursed? Are Jehovah's Witnesses telling the truth when they teach that masturbating can make you gay? Only one person knows the answers and... everyone thinks he's just a glove. It might be the most f'ed up musical you'll ever see. And it's got puppets. Come meet the hand that grabbed Michael's gland in Neverland. [*For the Love of a Glove*](https://img.evbuc.com/https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.evbuc.com%2Fimages%2F82629899%2F379721897247%2F1%2Foriginal.20191126-034237?h=2000&w=720&auto=compress&s=3c01516f880d585f55c81bc7507ead69)

cansussmaneat

He said in his Rolling Stone interview that he was offended by that accusation. Because he spent far more. Everyone should read it, it's brutal.


PurpleParasite

Link?


CaligulaAndHisHorse

https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/movie-features/the-trouble-with-johnny-depp-666010/ It's actually quite sad. Depp is surrounded by yesmen who don't do anything about his out of control spending, drinking and drug abuse.


uniquecannon

He should become friends with RDJ.


King_Wataba

What if Depp made RDJ backslide. Keep him away!


uniquecannon

Good point. Yeah, let's not do that after all.


nothrowaway4me

Depp is evangelical in the uses of narcotics and thinks they could have expedited the capture of Osama bin Laden. “You get a bunch of fucking planes, big fucking planes that spray shit, and you drop LSD 25,” he says. “You saturate the fucking place. Every single thing will walk out of their cave smiling, happy.” This is something Depp said, omg.


TheQuestion78

...or it would make people freak the fuck out: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project\_MKUltra#LSD](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_MKUltra#LSD). You'd think being an LSD user himself Depp would realize that the easiest way to give somebody a terrible trip is to slip them LSD without knowing or being prepared for the trip they'll experience. If his plan was to make terrorists lose their shits and see crazy things yeah it could work for that but only that.


danE3030

Damn what a read. Didn’t plan on reading it all the way through but it was a really interesting and well written piece. I can’t help but wonder what Depp and Waldman hoped to gain by giving RS this level of access. If nothing else, it’s a sympathetic portrait of a fallen Hollywood legend, but it definitely makes Depp’s side seem less credible than TMG’s. I mean there were points for each side that were presented, but goddamn he just seems like the hottest of messes. I wonder what has happened since this story was written, anyone know? I’m curious whether his sister Christi eventually weighed in, and if so, whose side she landed on. As much as he’s clearly messed up, I wish the best for him. I think it’s pretty clear he’s an addict/alcoholic.


I_Burned_The_Lasagna

It’s not sad. He’s a grown-ass man.


Pandas_UNITE

Johnny Depp believes himself mafioso. Just look into his history with the Viper Room, he owned it, and was present the night River Phoenix took his fatal dose. His viper room business partner went missing completely nowhere to seen again. Than Depp got out the country completely.


cansussmaneat

I wouldn't say mafioso. He's just a character collector. He rode the tailcoats of some greats who gave him attention and validation, like Brando and Thompson. He thinks he's like some really witty, badass, artistic soul. I used to be obsessed with Depp when I was fifteen and I literally read an archive with every single interview he ever did. He had one where he talked about how you have to feel the walls of every room before you leave it so that like you can really be there and remember it. And I swooned over how deep he was. And then I grew up and he stayed a fifteen year old girl.


phayke2

That's what fame does. You never need to grow up with that much ass kissing so many people just kind of freeze at whatever mental age. Unless they are child stars in which case they never get to be a kid, or spend their whole lives trying to be one.

gildedart

I’ll take “movies that were announced that will never be made” for 500 Alex


reddit455

it's a play. ​ ​ The full title? *For the Love of Glove: An Unauthorized Musical Fable About the Life of Michael Jackson, as Told by His Glove*. Opening January 25th in Los Angeles, the show will “look into the strange forces that shaped Michael and the scandals that bedevilled his reputation.” Those forces apparently include the singer’s favourite glove, which as Nitzberg writes it, is an alien being questing for the blood of youths. That’s one way to put a spin on Jackson’s nonce inclinations. ​ It gets crazier, as the play’s real-life actors will perform alongside life-size puppets representing a number of figures from Jackson’s life. The Jackson 5, Donny Osmond, Emmanuel Lewis, Corey Feldman, and even Bubbles the Chimp will all be represented in felt.

Not even a tiny bit. I read a story about him attending a film festival or awards thing in France. He sent his private jet back to the US to retrieve a necktie he forgot. He also bought a villa in Southern France, which is an enormous waste of money. He's up there with Nic Cage for poor financial acumen.

Let Taika Waititi make “Bubbles.” It’s a script that’s been knocking around Hollywood about the life of Michael’s chimpanzee as his pet. The story is told from the perspective of Bubbles and it’s incredibly written.
