Granted I never did see the Wonka remake or Alice remake, but I figured I already saw them when I saw the couple of Pirates movies I saw. I guess I'm just worried that while it was a unique and cool side of him that he was capable of interesting roles like a Jack Sparrow, it's now become a gimmick (albeit a huge moneymaking one) and I think he's better and more artistic than that.

Probably my all time favorite Deep movie is Edward Scissorhands. He maybe had 10 line in the whole movie, but was flat out amazing with his movements, expressions etc.
I liked the first Pirates movie, thought the second one sucked and turned the third on off about 1/3 of the way through it.
I do agree that maybe he now takes on odd roles because he might think it is expected of him, but in a way these odd roles are now big things. Before he might not have been able to be in a big budget movie where he gets to be quirky and strange, but now that he has the star power he has earned he can.
It is interesting to me when he does play a normal role like Nick of Time. It is almost like you forget that the guy can play a regular person as well as strange person. I wish he would do more of this. I would love to see him in more things like Donnie Brasco
