Jack Nicholson at his most ‘…Jackness’, right around the time frame of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest      I have a theory that Johnny Depp channeled Marlin Brando’s Regulator character, in part at least, for his interpretation of Cpt. Jack Sparrow; Brando is a riot.  Maybe one of the best ‘serious’ westerns ever filmed.

“My name is Indigo Montoya, you kill’d my father, …prepare to die….”     “To Blave…”    “No more rhyming now, I mean it.”   “Anybody want a peanut?”    “That is unless he has studied his Agrippa... which I have. “    “You seem a decent fellow, I hate to kill you.”      “You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is: Never get involved in a land war in Asia. But, only slightly less well known is this: Never go in against a Sicilian, when death is on the line!"    “That's right.

I know, …I know!  When spleeny bastids harass actors [& directors] …, they just don’t get it:  …just how fcking gifted they really are to explore the methods of self…and the other-than-self with such inimitable verve!  Only someone who spends physicality-time at the playhouse or truthfully invests ninety minutes or so into the viewing of a film (or the thespian in self) … Quantifies the qualifiers.
