So I'm just going to skip all the Depp agenda stuff.

But yeah, I'm really flummoxed why M&C doesn't get it's due. It's indeed one of the better films of the '00s, and certainly one of the best "action" flicks (though there's only two real battle scenes). Crowe handled his biz, and played a fairly complex character well. And Beattany came ill with it too as the doctor. It's weird that I never even see it on HBO or anything either. Shit just got forgotten.

It's a shame that they never made a sequel or two (it's based on a faitly popular series of novels), but it was considered kind of a flop when it came out. Ah well, maybe Crowe can work his juice a little farther down the road.
