      The writer's heart was eaten by a dog




      The hearts of writers are eaten by dogs, because this is an era of entertainment to death. The hearts of writers are kind and weak, and inadvertently, they gather in this suffocating flow of people, and it is difficult to extricate themselves. Smell of ink.
      It is said that Johnny Depp and Hunter S. Thompson were good friends. After the great writer committed suicide, the popular famous movie star put his ashes in the barrel of the cannon, and the great writer died after his...

      When you're serious. The whole world is kidding you

      When you are serious. The whole world is joking with you---Uncle Depp faked his resume, traveled long distances, and came to the island with his lofty career ambition of getting drunk every day and working hard to get some experience. , Of course, if you can get a handsome, rich and handsome Ma Zi to take a shot, then it will be fattening. Egg is an unreliable base friend and a party, and it’s okay to do it in the car. It’s hard to have a shot with Ma Zi. What's the situation when someone is...

      After All

      At the end of the egg pain, no wicked people were killed, but good people were beaten, and they lifted their pants and left helplessly.

      The story was originally written like this, the male protagonist went to New York to fight and was with his beloved, but there was none.

      The chaotic plot, I wanted to hug a thigh, but I was implicated by Ma Zi. He wanted to reverse the demon, but was sold, and finally the chicken saved him.

      Even the heroine is not a good thing....

      Puerto Rico's Past

      An alcoholic and failed writer came to Puerto Rico to work as a reporter for a newspaper with the regret of two and a half works he did not publish. However, when he came here, he found that the life he longed for did not exist here. , accompanied by his embarrassed life and drinking all day long.

             At the beginning of the film, Johnny Depp woke up in the hotel after a hangover, and the waiter opened the door and saw a tired face, messy hair, and red eyes. You can see yesterday...

      rather disappointed...

      I don't know it's a biopic, it was funny when I watched the trailer, but when it got to the main film, it became dull, the laughs were gone, and Depp kept dragging a wine bottle around. Go, I woke up at the end, I have to do something.
      When writing this movie review, how is it an adventure + plot? I can't see the adventure, but isn't the ending to commemorate a certain reporter, maybe it's not reliable to adapt the deeds from the novel?
      Anyway, I saw it a few times and wanted to turn...

      Or make him chaotic enough and colorful enough to be lukewarm. Are you worthy of a homophony like kemp, worthy of rum, and of the post-Eisenhower era, worthy of Puerto Rico?...

      Although I used this film to hypnotize for a lot of people to watch it every day, it is still pleasing to the eye. Amber Heard is so beautiful, she has become a big coffee, and it is said that she has turned into a depp girlfriend. Love the story, the photography is...

    • Moburg: Two of the best scoops you ever had came out of my brain and you'd better moderate your language or I'll go elsewhere.

      Lotterman: Elsewhere where? You couldn't get work as a fly repellent. You're worthless, Moburg. The last onion in the jar.

    • Lotterman: The average guy don't rock the boat 'cause he wants to climb aboard it. And our readership is vividly average. They don't care who the losers are. They wanna know who won. Who won the bowls, who won the races, who won the pot at the slot machines. /... / And this is the American Dream.

    • Lotterman: You're paying to be in the dream. There's a thin veneer, Kemp, between the dream and the reality. You wake them up and people might start asking for their money back.
