just watched "From Hell" again last night. And he was also on Letterman promoting his new movie. Interesting how certain "stars" rise and fall with the seasons.


Depp has had some goofs, but he's proved himself.

He's not just a pretty face.

Johnny Depp made $78,000,000 for acting in the last Pirates movie alone. Not counting residuals, or the other mountain of cash he made from the video game.

Comparing the 78m to my 17k salary. This would be the equivalent of me leaving a $0.87 tip.


You don't compare the tip to your salary, you compare it to the check.
What should he do, leave a hundred grand on the table every time he goes out to eat?
$4,000 was damn generous of him.

In judging how generous an act is, I do think you have to take the person's ability to pay into account. But let's try your approach:

The meal cost $4,000, as they said in the video it was a 100% tip. I've actually left a few 100% tips before, when I thought they service was particularly awesome. But they didn't land me on the news because they only amounted to $4-7 each time. We find this story so impressive only because we can't fathom exactly how wealthy the ultra wealthy are.

Don't get me wrong, I've always liked Johnny Depp, he's hella affable. But I also like arguing on the internets.

I guess this is trickle-down economics in action.
