Not one cent will pass from my pocket in support of The Lone Ranger.

Seriously, fuck everything about that movie, and fuck everything about Johnny Depp with his idiotic tonto-speak made real.

Same, seen a Subway commercial that promoted the film, adding them to the list of places where I won’t be spending my money.
