For venues and times, see movie listings A story's making the rounds about Johnny Depp shooting on the set of Pirates Of The Caribbean. He was given a speech by the writers that explained the film's villains and their motivations. He immediately complained, "Man, I can't believe you're giving me exposition." That's a star's complaint. The star never has to explain anything. Explaining things is the job of the supporting actor, the one not made for sportive tricks, who tells the hero stuff, moves the plot along and dies in the third reel. | |
