About Johnny Depp

Disney’s “Alice in Wonderland” is almost upon us, promising the same sort of gee-whiz Tim Burton visuals that you decided whether you’re into or not a long time ago.  This guy checked out around the time that “Planet of The Apes” happened.  Seriously: Mark Wahlberg?  That ending?  Kind of a beating to sit through, Tim.  Whatever happened to the Tim Burton that made “Beetlejuice” and “Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure”?  Eh, anyway, the above picture points out a startling similarity between Johnny Depp’s appearance as the Mad Hatter in Burton’s upcoming film and pop superstar Madonna.  The resemblance is striking, no?

Thanks to Comedy Examiner readers “Mike R.” and “Cheryl S.” who sent this one in.  I had a good laugh over this one while debating whether or not I was gonna go and see “Alice” when it opens in a few weeks.  Something about Helena Bonham Carter with that enormous skull is just turning me off from the whole thing, and now I’ve gotta worry about picturing Johnny Depp breaking into “Lucky Star” through the whole damn movie.  Think I’ll wait for BluRay on this one.
