I lost almost respect for Johnny Depp when he paired up with Tim Burton.
My password is password.

That's a good comparison that I've never thought of.
Yeah always in quirky roles. Either a dark and scary and weird guy or a just weird unusual acting guy.

Tim Curry should not be compared to that talentless woman beater. Tim Curry is in a league of his own. Johnny Depp was never a good actor. Tim deserves better than that.

I never thought that the day would come where I would actually find that sleazy concierge from Home Alone 2 sexy in Bowie-esque makeup, fishnet and high heels.
It's kinda sad that he got involved in mostly bad movies, despite his talent but I guess he thinks of himself mainly a stage actor, rather than a film star (akin to Paul Scofield).

So, maybe I've changed and maybe his career is not so interesting anymore, since many years he had his "silver age" in the 90s (for me his golden age is RHPS) but now almost only cartoons or mostly forgettable movies I got tired, yawn
BAD CGI RUINS MOVIES!!!

What happened? Why are you much less of a fan of his now?

They've also both done an Alice in Wonderland!

I don't hate TC absolutely, I just try to be objective and not obesessed with him.
I was a BIG fan of him in the past years, but now I am much less, I can be more objective in judgements,b68 something difficult for a fan who is fallen in love with a star.

Do you hate Tim Curry or something? Why are you always bad mouthing him in threads?
Oh and Johnny Depp is starting to suck! He has been in bomb after bomb lately because it's all about money with him.

a very little, unmeaningful difference: JD is much, much, much more handsome than TC (at least from a classical point of view).
Just nothing for movie business

It's not an analogy. It's a comparison.

He's said several times in interviews he's not.

For all we know, he might be. Tim keeps his personal life private.

He's not gay

Agree with everything you said. I find them both charming and talented (5 years or so ago, Id have said that Depp was in more good films, but thats changed drastically). I also think Depp has a delicacy and femininity that Curry doesnt, which makes him better for playing shy and/or eccentric characters (Im namely th1c84inking of Sleepy Hollow, Pirates, and Wonka); Curry has a more menacing air. In general, I have trouble buying Depp as a villain (
excepting Secret Window
) and Curry as a hero.

Curry is older than Depp, so he couldn't have gotten the same roles. The timing was off.
Also, isn't Tim Curry gay? That makes it harder to be a leading man, if not impossible.
Depp was a sexier, younger man. He played a young man who thought he was Don Juan, for example. He was good looking and sexy enough to pull that off. I don't see Curry being able to do that. He didn't have the firm jaw, the chiseled cheek bones, etc., that Depp had. Curry was cute and sexy, for sure. But not in the leading man sort of way, IMO.
I do think Depp is a little small for my taste. He seems a little too short and slim to be what most leading men are, but that's just my preference.

I agree. But Tim should have been bigger than Johnny Depp and gotten the roles Depp starred in and then maybe Tim would be more known.

Not a bad analogy at all.

there will be snark
