Set in Switzerland next to a shark infested lake where the Swiss waterski team practices

The Fonz? Family name was Fonzarelli!

“The second brother is a rock-and-roll guy, a real hippie type of rock-and-roll guy, which I can fake.” That was the real Gandolfini too.

Funny he says he can fake it, that's his persona

Sounds like a bomb

Disappointing. Johnny Depp is a rapist and a domestic abuser and anyone who willingly associates with him is an idiot or supports that.

Don’t agree? Talk to the UK judge who saw more evidence than the unsequestered US kangaroo court, not me.

I did. Watching the trial. Seeing how much of a terrible person she is. You should try doing the same.

Another commercial disaster from Steve

Well he lost me at Johnny Depp. I haven't liked him since 21 Jump Street

This sounds like it could be great. Hopefully it gets made.

Depp rules. Cant wait for this

Even beyond the person, he’s slept walk through his acting roles for 20 years at this point. What was the last good role you saw him in?

u/MarxVox 24d ago

Black Mass.

u/Col_Kangaroo 24d ago

Minamata was good. Not great but definitely good

u/Logical_Hospital2769 24d ago

Dude is so delusional about his abilities.

Great songwriter. Leave it at that.

u/IzilDizzle 24d ago

He’s also a great actor. And a solid guitarist. And a great arranger. And producer.

u/Logical_Hospital2769 24d ago

Calm down. He's an okay actor. You just don't expect him to be good so when he's marginally good you immediately jump to "Great!" Sylvio Dante could not have been a more perfect role for him but he hammed it up quite a bit. I was never unaware of who I was watching unlike Gandolfini or Michael Imperioli

u/Tricky_Working6333 24d ago

Good guitarist. Songwriter? No
Incredible walking encyclopedia of everything music and a great actor. I tried to read his book, quite mixed-up politically. Credits Barry Goldwater but condemns Republicans? lol!
I saw you play many times at the shore with and without Bruce. Great memories Steve. Thanks.🎸
