Hm, could be . . . I love Johnny Depp.  The movie might even be good--
hell, I loved Snow White, didn't I?  I just don't like being 
exploited for an advertising campaign, and I really don't like the 
under-8 crowd being exploited for an advertising campaign.

Disney seems particularly brazen in this department.  Who else would 
buy a hockey team for their company town and name it after a really 
feeble kids' movie?  Almost all sports teams are owned by corporate 
moguls, but most of the moguls don't put an advertisement for one of 
their products right on the uniform.  I'm embarrassed for them 
whenever I look at it.

Amy Z, waiting for the people who loved The Mighty Ducks and The Bad 
News Bears, or think Emilio Estevez is hot,* to chime in

*They're crazy.  Charlie Sheen, yes, yes, oh my yes.  Emilio Estevez, 
no.  Of course, neither one can hold a candle to Johnny Depp.
