After I finished watching this--I don't even remember when, it must have been a year ago--it was a move or two ago, I know that much....anyway, when I was done watching it, I just had to listen to "Proserpina", a song, "Proserpina", for about an hour, I guess. A while, that long....
"Whose sounds mine inner sense is faith to bring,
Continually together murmuring,
Woe's me for thee, unhappy Proserpine!"
And, you might notice, if you read me, that I don't *quite* post the most *formal* reviews on the site....even though I try to keep my point-rakings....systematic, or something....anyway, I tried a kinda formal review once, and it sorta failed, for me....I mean, even after I fixed it up a bit, it still just felt like I....cheated, somehow. I guess I'm just....different, like that.
Anyway, at least I'm mature enough to know that a movie does have something to do with the actors--in my sci-fi days, I didn't like to think real-world like that--so, anyway, Johnny Depp defs did a very good....performance, in this movie. And, in a way, it's the hardest kind--like Tony Shalhoub's *Monk*, in a way, it's that performance which, in a way, we *don't* like, which is....
I don't know. Something.
I once knew a....certain sort of speaker....and he was a bit like A. Monk, and, once, he was actually making fun of himself, (for once), and so he smoothed out the pages of that big book, just like Monk would, but the people who didn't watch the show couldn't understand the performance, it was a mystery to them....
'Whose sounds mine inner sense is faith to bring....'
Secrets. A secret window, *a secret garden*....
But I guess they were right to give it the name they did; this movie isn't really about how an English garden grows....
It's too sad for that. Chthonic, if you don't mind my saying.
But it is a very good performance.
'Continually together murmuring....'

Johnny Depp: And now that I've admitted what a bad person I am, I can feel free to.... go on being a bad person.
John Turturro: Sneaky sneaky sir.
Adam Sandler: Hey, what the hell are you doing, are you making fun of my friend?
John Turturro: He did in fact, make it seem as though I were a killer.
Adam Sandler: God! why the hell would you do that to my friend!
Johnny Depp: *holds up hands* I can explain!
Adam Sandler: Yeah! Explain it to this, pal! *he punches him out*
John Turturro: Sneaky sneaky sir.
Adam Sandler: *still beating up Johnny Depp* You have no idea how much grief I go through because of freaks like you! You fucking skinhead!
John Turturro: I think that you knocked him out cold, sir.
Adam Sandler: *realizes that he did* Oh, you're right.
John Turturro: Sneaky sneaky sir.
Adam Sandler: I know, right. Let's go get some Hawaiian Punch.
John Turturro: Clever joke, sir.
Adam Sandler: Thanks, Emilio.
Ron Livingston: Hey, guys, what's happening?
John Turturro: *genuinely surprised* I'm surprised to see you here; I thought you were in the army.
Ron Livingston: I know, right; they let me out. *points to Sandler, with curiosity* Hey, I thought you got locked up for assaulting your quarterback.
Adam Sandler: *shrugs* Well, they let me out, right?
