Ulic Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 I can see it now. A homage film, Pirates of the Spanish Maine, starring Johnny Depp. Just make sure it comes out a couple of months before the Disney production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm old enough to remember the real TV show it was based on, The Sid Caesar Show (aka Your Show of Shows). Depp has been around since the 1980s, and I think his star power has faded; that business of abusing his woman doesn't help. Maybe he can extended his Keith Richard impersonation by starting a Stones tribute band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
