1. That is very odd
Had to double check which paper it is.

2. That last paragraph was very odd.
It seems to suggest that Disney's going to lose money because Depp gays it up in the movie.

Box office reciepts suggest otherwise.

4. Wow... what an ass.
I wouldn't put any merit on his movie reviews- or his newspaper.

5. The Post is considered the "liberal" paper...
cuz the only other paper in town is owned by Richard Mellon Scaife who was the guy behind "troopergate" and most of the anti-Clinton crap...

6. That's the really odd part
The PG is the "liberal" paper. The Tribune-Review is owned by Scaife.

8. Even Capalert (best know for their classic "South Park" review
doesn't mention the gay angle. Although they did notice:
men rushing to find woman said to be nude
selling of soul
bartering with soul, repeatedly
"You fool!"
zen meditation
two uses of God's name in vain without the four letter expletive
beheaded demon searching for its head, guided by its head


And many other offenses!

10. I hate stereotyping people and behaviors
Why does he get slapped by old girlfriends in movie 1? Has this author ever spent time on a boat and discoverd landsickness wobbliness when he returns? Why the hell does "masculine" mean grunt and thrust and arg and "feminine" , oh, never mind. Rant off. Yes, odd review by someone who has obvious "issues".
