I would not rent one of his movies either, although my 12 year old daughter saw one of his movies at a friend's house and said he was creepy...the movie was Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. A kid's movie panned by a kid...that says something for ya.
No offense, but are you familiar with Roald Dahl? Willie Wonka, the ORIGINAL, was creepy. That your daughter pointed this out only means that she's seen a Willy WOnka movie.
Depp, say what you will, is a great actor.
Imagine a world where we only paid money to see those who agreed with us on every issue. Silliness.
I don't mean that we have to support Tim Robbins or those types, but Depp, whatever his failings, is not a leftist activist. I don't feel the need to boycott everyone who isn't in lockstep with me. If I did, I'd have to boycott many social conservatives too, since I'm a libertarian.
