Johnny Depp is not just an actor like any other... I guess I have decided to sing a few of his praises in my discussions pragmatique which explain and define how his indeppth submission to literary connections have led him to become such a shining star to authors who write parts and performances designed specifically for him over the years. I know that the number is immeasurable given then what I can tell from the world of graphic novels and the like.
His literary connections in the form of published books is likely better documented than his awards or the hundreds of thousands of poems in his honor from his fans as it were.
His own literary work is less known save for a world of quotes

The number of authors or sources of literature which may give awards to Depp seems to be based on the critical acclaim of his screen work as opposed to his pre-production alliances and connections. In my eyes it is sizable and not derivative to collaborate with these living greats as a part of working closely with them as development and production. Its clear to me that John works to prevent making less of the value of a text for the sake of 'selling to an audience' as has been done time and again. Some of the most poignant literary references that can be attributed to John would be his ability to seamlessly carry forward the mind and presence of authors for an audience to appreciate. How is it that those of us without money can fully express our appreciation as our willingness to continue to try and share it.
Luckily the internet allows for better or more accessible ideas and understanding, but as we know it the internet is becoming proprietary and commercial to the degree 'the pie' needs to be cut and credited even if it does not yet cost to have a taste or read the recipe. The most interesting of literary homage's to John seems to be the creation of a coloring book as 'art relative to more art' in appreciation for pure expression.
Ok Ok... Hold on a minute and have a look at maybe the oddest proposal of honoria literature that you have ever seen in your life... art portfolio - honoria....The Johnny Depp Coloring Book Cut and past some pictures too if you like... clearly there is something going on with this approach to publishing... More to the point, the Question begs to be asked what the bleep is going on with the literary world these days??
Surely you are questioning why I would bother to offer up the serious consideration of a tribute coloring book to the likes of Johnny Depp as some form of his literary achievement but please ... take the time to see how alternative values might well be a great segway to changing the small minds of television and gossip column values as prefabricated sound bytes which leave the value of the author out. Lets put it this way... Yes it is very strange.... and I rather like it for the purpose of acknowledging that more publishing should be devoted to the fascinating world which Johnny Depp has brought to life. No, it is not a work of literary impact and should not be considered such but, I demands some literal consideration... even if it is purely a matter of demanding that more quality writing and exposition define the literary Depp.
To date, as both writer and fine artist as far as I can gather, John has received only the sorts of awards which the populist mindset can confer upon him... which are none too shabby when it comes to film and finance and regular online adulation of his refined quality and reference to the written world as we know it, but lets face it he should be valued more greatly in literary communities where literally brings their world and their wallets to life. As yet his only 'writers award' is to be named Autograph Magazine’s top celebrity autograph signer! My goodness thats a long way to go to get some recognition from writers given the real literary power he wields to expand their future as stylistic moguls or as some indicator of quantified appreciation in experience and exploration.
it seems like the people in the Baltic States get it...

I am not lamenting the fact that I can count on John to lead us where we have not been and look at the world with fresh eyes and open views of 'whatever' as Jack Sparrow would surmise in this world of ambiguous power and persuation. I am also not convinced that literary works are not improved with the telling and the application of stage and dramatic forms such as film and technological advances as CGI. For authors such as Steven King this sort of adventure has been a lifelong pilgrimage to make a difference and see a difference when it comes to believing in yourself, your work and your vision.
As it is my research is indicating that John's devotion and contribution to literary diversity and the power of good writing remains unacknowledged. Its my opinion that there might still be some debate going on relative to who is qualified to give awards and how those awards might be tauted squarely for specific qualities which are laudable when it comes to honoring text and the delivery of such texts to the wordl at large....delivery of qualities such as the ones which I consider notable including 'verity of character or illumination of particular passages visually' but also as a part of honoring the inventions which progressively bring text to life or improve the methods of the literary industry as a whole when it omes to making viable and tasteful applications to honor such writing or performance associated directly with texts. The world of the written world has so much to offer and yet is is managed by 'the stock and trade' of book and manuscript as opposed to cultivated as some organic process of capture and expression.
We can safely say that Depp's partnership with the literary world has gone beyond magazine content and periodical consideration... We can safely say that Depp's partnership with the literary world has gone beyond magazine content and periodical consideration...
I might diverge in the future to discuss the lacking elements of value in our educational processes which leave out diverse forms of intellegence as 'knowing and applied learner assessment' simply to establish my own set of values and criteria for the emergence of a more functional and successful society of literary thought as direct action, but for now I accept that I do am a student in their schools of thought.
Posssibly thre is an element of confusion or competition in the literary world which seeks to validate or ruminate on which or what sort of texts are meritous of investment as a nod to the commercial aspect of success as opposed to the sort of vision and considerations which are purely literary in device. Its possible that my research is sorely incomplete and such levels of appreciation and acknowledgement do occur but I am not privy to them as a general rule.... maybe I wasnt invited because writing is only for writers who join the society established for writers who seek to be recognized.... this is already way to complicated for a woman of action such as myself....
In short is is such a waste that communities and working groups of interest have not mapped the terms of their craft beyond annual lifetime achievement trophies or 'book of the year' title lists which serve to release a commodity stock from a vendor and then be swept off the shelf in a few years time into the obscurity of equally temporal texts of their time.
My concern is for the mentality of scarcity and limited venture when it comes to commitment to the growth of the craft into minds and hearts of folks who basically see more commercials in their lifetime than they do proper literary device and its applications. When there are so many worthy writers and poets who bring our creative minds to life how is it that true poetry in motion becomes a :29 second commercial as opposed to a home reading of a script with a group of friends or an event which shares the best of ones writing with those who have been limited in their time or money to set aside the time it takes to read.
Its possible that such conditions indicate the populist values of these working groups in such a manner as to choose not to organize around a clear lack of distinction when it comes to qualifying how creativity or literary methods shape the viewers mind. Personally it is my passion to look into what makes a work or delivery of a piece of work into performance the sort of Poetry in Motion which should be lauded and studied for the sake of understanding art as psyche and persona as critical in its essence for revealing greater truth and some quality of architypal domain or value.
Awards for such things as film and theatre only see to keep the standards low in the world of performance where people like Saul Williams or Patti Smith should be considered ranking heavy weights for their literary genius or at least for being the voice of their time. Maybe my research is incomplete or I have not accessed the literary awards of these people closely enough but they seem to be considered only icons with no real place in the long history or literary achievements which deliver the whole essence of the work.
Its possible that thoughts like mine do not belong in literary circles or would create some air of hubris or haugtiness in literary circles as a form of academic or purely derivative interpretation seek to carry its own agenda but one thing is certain, there is some hierarchy already in place and someone determines what the merits are and how the levels of commitment will be measured as needed to be considered 'notable' as 'who's who' of these societies. For now my research is purely for my humor as opposed to being stretched out before me as though it were a page in a gossip column of literary foray.
Here is what the media can offer on the subject thus far:
Hollywood star Johnny Depp attended the third international film and music festival Kustendorf that closed on Tuesday (January 19th) in Drvengrad, a fabricated Serbian village created by film director Emir Kusturica. A life-sized statue of Depp was unveiled. The actor -- known for films such as "Pirates of the Caribbean" -- received the "Award for Future Movies" and held several workshops for festival participants. Film fans in Serbia put their art where their love is.
I like the idea that that this community has seen fit to recognize that Depp represents a future of creative options for them as an 'out of the box' thinking as creative expression of inhibition as a part of breaking down genre and defining the values by which directors and writers might carefully contstruct a new set of values or social interest in writing and film to the degree that new vision and methods can be applied to traditional functions. The literary world may not be getting a facelift per say but rather the literary world might get a new impression of the boot that moves its progress along.... (i take full responsibility for all tongue and cheek gesture here)

Mostly it seems that the lines are drawn in literary camps for awards to those who can script or those whose work appeals to children or those whose work might possibly influence some notion of World Peace in the fields of Journalism or crowd pleasing with public speaking. However, generally speaking, specialized communities and societies meriting only their interests make it clear that the decision-making process of determining quality and sending a message of appreciation becomes very one-sided if not congratulatory at best. Sure we find merit in you but you have to come to our dinner club and you need to be devoted to the pinhole vision of the sort of production which actually catches our attention.... otherwise we deem you derivative and unworthy of recognition for your contributions.
These may seem like harsh words but think about the impacts that it has on the general public's perception of their industry as a whole.... do children want to grow up and be writers or try to claw their way through the hordes of writers who are never recognized for their day-in day-out devotion?? Not likely.
Overall the conceptual foundation for literary genius does seem very limited to overly specialized recognition or regional and factional terms of evalution which can be recapitulated annually according to the goals and populace of the given society at the time. Its no surprise to me that Depp seldom fits these categories as a part of being only a 'player' to them and their venerable craft. This is not to say that they cannot find a way to honor the truly gifted or make headway into bringing their craft and its forms of production and means of brilliance to some level of accessibility... the question is merely when and for what overarching purpose will we see such vision in an industry emerge?
At present, It seems that some recognition has worked its way to John according to this article where he was presented a lifetime achievement award at a local film festival by none other than Sean Connery. I say carry on John and may the force be with you and your art forms which defy the currently pigeonholed vision of a world headed for a page on a shelf in the house that Jack built!
