Precisely my philosophy. By interacting with people with different opinions can we learn things that we need to improve or maintain. & it helps shatter this horrible manichean perspective that one side is good & the other is evil, which people in politics tend to use too much. Too many times, I see people on both sides interacting with others as if they are evil and mean when they are all the same. All wanting for an equal society. Yet sometimes some people in politics and on Twitter tend to treat politics like children. To put people in camps. 2/

Les Contes de La rue Broca. Fascinating tv series adapting Pierre Gripari’s novel of the same name. A series of fairy tales set in different time periods. All told by the author himself to his 3 friends: the grocery store owner Papa Saïd and his kids Nadia and Bashir In the witch of the broom closet fairy tale, Pierre recounts to his 3 friends how he bought a house for 5 francs when he was a kid. A villa set in Paris. A cosy location though with a strange history as he found out. Indeed, the place is cursed by the witch of the broom closet.

Considering David O Russell's infamous history of bullying his people on sets and being abusive (I Heart Huckabees videos), I think the man should take care of his mess before attacking a man like MJ who has better manners than him. #MichaelJackson #MJ2021 I know George Clooney hated working with O Russell and even got into a fight with him during the filming of Three Kings. Even people like Robin Williams pulled vile jokes on MJ, and regarding Williams, Jermaine Jackson met him at a premiere & berated him.

Though it is despicable a certain WB cartoon attacked Johnny Depp, remember the world supports him, that people are signing petitions in masses, complaining to WB & its people on social medias, by mail, and letters, and that WB's folks are afraid of that. #JusticeForJohnnyDepp Remember that today, Johnny has been rewarded by a big European Festival 4 his work. That the documentary Crock of Gold which he produced is getting superb reviews and great word of mouth from the public, that on Instagram 8.5 million fans are on his page. #JusticeForJohnnyDepp

Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. Excellent adaptation of Roald Dahl’s book from Tim Burton. Starring Johnny Depp and Freddie Highmore. Filmed and Produced in London alongside the stop motion film Corpse Bride. #JohnnyDepp Through a very faithful plot line that respects the dark humour of Roald Dahl and uses his exact songs, all sang by Danny Elfman himself, the film gives another take to the magic and poetry of Roald Dahl’s classic. An adaptation that the Dahl Estate adored.

Ed Wood.
Second collaboration between Tim Burton and Johnny Depp.
Biopic on the filmmaker Edward Wood and his working relationship with Bella Lugosi; muse as important to Ed as Orson Welles. ImageImageImageImage As everyone knows, Ed Wood is considered the worst filmmaker of all. But unlike others, Tim Burton treats him under a sympathetic light. As a good man with bright ideas, but caught in so many unexpected obstacles that his movies don’t reach his expectations. ImageImageImageImage

That witch has no broken nose nor busted lips & eyes. If she had, her nose would all be messed up & her lips with bruises that no make up would have removed. Take a look at Johnny Depp's face. His injuries are there 4 everyone to see. Such as his bruised face & bloodied mouth.1/4 As I said weeks ago, anybody with the bruises and wounds, cuts, and beatings Ambert Heard pretended to have gotten would have needed massive hospital treatment and psychological therapy. & paperwork to confirm it. Which she has not while Johnny has.
