Finding Neverland wank
So, over on IMDb, there's a cute little (maybe not so little) wank, still going on after a month, about Finding Neverland.

In this post, user bradpittismine proclaims: "Brad Pitt should have had Depp's role, then maybe he would have won the Oscar. Pitt is a much better actor. He can act anything, he's amazing. Depp sucks."

Aaaand they're off. (And meanwhile, I will just point at Troy. more specifically Brad's "acting" in Troy, and just giggle.)

Anyway. Most people come out of the woodwork and say that there's no way that Pitt could have done a better job in the J.M. Barrie role than Depp, people agree with them. There's some bashing of Pitt's inability to do an accent (Achilles from Oklahoma anyone?), and some general "Now, I like Brad, but... no." type postings.

Apparently bradpittismine has a history of hitting movie boards and proclaiming that "Brad Pitt would have been better than (so-and-so) in (movie)." Such as, going to the Pulp Fiction board to proclaim that Pitt would have been better than Travolta in Pulp Fiction, better than Ewan McGregor in Moulin Rouge, Russell Crowe in Gladitor, and better than Viggo Mortensen in Lord of the Rings</a>. Other personal favorites that show up when you look at the poster's history are that a remake of It's a Wonderful Life should be made so Pitt could play George Bailey, The Wizard of Oz should be remade with Brad in the "leading role" (Oh yes, I want to see Brad Pitt in a little blue and white checked pinafore myself, but really now, that's a kink for a different time.) and remaking A Clockwork Orange. With, you guessed it, Brad as the lead.

I don't know if it's a troll or not. Can't quite decide, considering how persistent they are.

And then along comes Kalvin_ . Who, anytime someone that he refers to as a teenybopper defends Johnny Depp, decides s/he needs to rip their argument of "Depp is better than Pitt" to shreds, and make no sense at all while he does it, while making asshatish assumptions to the commenters ages.

It's more fun for the linked history page, really, but still an amusing read nonetheless, especially when the Depp fans start frothing.
