- Johnny Depp (oh wait, that's any movie...) (Ty Burr of the Boston Globe starts his review with "There are too many Johnny Depps in "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End "" Very strange criticism indeed...)
It has all of the above and then some, so, I fail to see the problem! I would argue that they just don't like the genre.
For those of you dying to know about piano practice, I suppose I can comment on that also. I do not understand the mind-body connection. You can play the same piece day in and day out and struggle with a certain passage every single time then leave it for one day and BANG, you've got it! Success! I even played it successfully more than once (which is the true test, must make sure it isn't a fluke). We will see if the success manifests itself at my lesson tomorrow. Anything can happen there; darn Kawai pianos.

My theory is, by giving your body a rest, your subconscious takes over and figures it all out for you - works for me!
as I say, don't review a genre piece and expect it to not fit the genre! and there can never be too many Johnny Depps in one scene. Possibly (and I emphasize "possibly") the only thing that could have been improved in that scene is if each Johnny represented a different Johnny movie so we could appreciate an additional depth of the multitudes of Johnny.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but on the list of essentials I think you forgot wenches!
