Who will Johnny Depp call Kemo Sabe?

Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp will play Tonto in a Disney revisitation of the Lone Ranger, but who will be the masked man?

The Hero Complex is officially supporting Viggo Mortensen for the role of mystery man of the Old West because, after seeing “Hidalgo” and the trailer for “Appaloosa,” we just think he does the dusty-trail adventure thing with a nice flair.

George Clooney would also give Disney a powerhouse tandem at the top of this hoped-for franchise, as well as some major opportunity for the type of winking humor that gave “Pirates of the Caribbean” its box-office flair. Clooney may be too old, but we still think he has enough silver bullets in his ammo belt. Depp, meanwhile, may be just five years shy of 50 but still approaches his acting career like a kid rummaging through a trunk of dress-up costumes. Not only will the part-Cherokee Depp be wearing the fringed buckskin, he will also be donning the garb of a pirate, a vampire, a gangster and, um, a guy with a funny hat.

The Oscar nominee has a busy schedule, to say the least. On Wednesday at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, Disney gathered the press for a preview of its Lone_2 upcoming major releases and announced that Depp will be back in eyeliner as Jack Sparrow, the rummy scoundrel of “Pirates of the Caribbean,” which will have a fourth installment with Jerry Bruckheimer back as producer. The franchise has already pulled in $2.6 billion at the box office. (Bruckheimer will also produce the Lone Ranger movie.)

Other Depp projects coming include a turn as the Mad Hatter in a Tim Burton adaptation of “Alice in Wonderland,” which will be a 2010 animated release with a motion-capture approach in the same vein as “Beowulf.” It will be Depp’s seventh major project with Burton — and No. 8 will be “Dark Shadows,” yet another black-cape affair for the movie-making partnership, this one a remake of the baroque soap opera from the late 1960s and early 1970s about an accursed family in Maine that, we suspect, had a lasting effect on a local youngster named Stephen King.

Depp will also be robbing banks as the gentlemen bandit John Dillinger in Michael Mann’s period gangster flick “Public Enemies,” due in theaters next year. That film also stars Christian Bale.

There are many different attractions at the Tulsa State Fair, which include thrill rides on the Midway to agricultural exhibits located in the Built Ford Tough Livestock Facilities

No all-nighter on the Hill outlining a proposed $700 billion bailout would be complete without take-out. Last night, when members of the House and Senate met to put a Band-Aid on the financial bust, they had pretty different take-out orders, as the New York Times reports.

On the House side, there was pizza and for the Senate, Thai food. Sarah DiGregorio at the Village Voice would rather be in the Senate (clearly a lemon grass lover). But maybe the pepperoni fan in you prefers Pelosi’s people.

Brain Metaphors

Over at BLDGBLOG, Geoffrey makes an astute observation about how the latest consumer technologies have a way of becoming metaphors for the mind. Before the brain was a binary code running on three pounds of cellular microchips, it was an impressive calculator, or a camera, or a blank slate. In other words, we’re constantly superimposing the gadgets of the day onto the cortex. Geoffrey notes that a recent article featured on the BBC on fMRI scans of taxicab drivers (”Taxi drivers have brain sat-nav”) is very similar to an earlier study, except that the most recent article used satellite navigation as a metaphor for the spatial memories storied in the hippocampus:

Palin meets her first world leaders in New York
(AP)

it’s interesting to note, interval, that this appears to be an almost complete retread of news broadcast released more than eight years ago. there we learn not exclusive that “the hippocampus is at the front of the brain,” but that it “was examined in attractive resonance imaging (mri) scans on 16 london cabbies.”

Cabbies’ brains, that article reports, “‘grow’ on the job.” However, it’s also interesting to speculate here that “sat-nav” was not referred to by that earlier article because certain technologies - such as dashboard navigation and handheld GPS - simply had not yet reached an adequate price-point, or the required level of social acceptance, for “sat-nav” to be useful to that writer as a metaphor. If this were true, then perhaps you could track the infiltration of GPS and sat-nav technologies into the fabric of everyday life by the speed with which they have become recognizable as urban-spatial metaphors.

Thanks for the tip Phil!

Mid Saturday Update

BY MIKE ROSE

One team I did not mention earlier, but should have — No. 9 Alabama.

Alabama, which has a good defense to go along with a good offense, blew out Arkansas in an early-afternoon game, 49-14. With all the talk about Florida, LSU and Auburn, keep an eye on the Crimson Tide. Nick Saban has this team playing well.

Now to the late afternoon games ….

No. 4 Florida did what I thought they would do — score plenty of points and shut down Tennessee, winning easily in Knoxville, 30-6. The Vols needed Arian Foster to have a big game and he didn’t. Foster rushed for only 38 yards on 14 carries. Quarterback Jonathan Crompton threw for 162 yards and interception.

Florida quarterback Tim Tebow did not have a big game — just 96 yards passing, but he did throw two touchdowns.

Boise State — yes, the Broncos could be BCS busters — went on the road and beat No. 17 Oregon 37-32.

Boise State quarterback Kellen Moore completed 25 of 37 passes for 386 yards and three touchdowns.

Bad loss for the Ducks. It’s looking more and more like USC will go undefeated and land in Miami for a shot at the national title.

Remember Boise State? The Broncos beat Oklahoma in th at memorable Fiesta Bowl a few seasons ago.

BYU is looking more and more like a top 10 team. The Cougars beat Wyoming 44-0. That’s the second straight shutout for BYU, which beat UCLA 59-0 last week. We all know BYU has an electric offense with quarterback Max Hall. But BYU can play defense too.

Cheney must preserve records, judge orders

Speaking of BYU, Utah rallied to beat Air Force 30-23. The Utes rallied from a 16-9 halftime deficit. That game between BYU and Utah on Nov. 22 is shaping up to be a huge game, with BCS implications.

No. 5 Missouri did end up beating Buffalo, 42-21. Missouri’s Chase Daniel completed a Big 12-record 20 straight passes in the game. Daniel also passed for a career-high 439 yards.

Finally, Michigan State and Javon Ringer were too much for the Notre Dame defense. And the Irish went back to having trouble scoring points.

The Spartans won, 23-7. Ringer went for 201 yards and two touchdowns.
