I Have No Idea If The Lone Ranger Is a Nerdy Movie or Not, But Here’s the Trailer
Is The Lone Ranger a nerdy property? I don’t know. He wears a mask like a superhero, but he’s a cowboy. It’s based on a classic TV series, but it’s a Western from the ’50s. It has Johnny Depp in it, but Johnny Depp makes a lot of shitty movies nowadays. Oh well. If you don’t care for me to cover it, let me know in the comments, and I won’t be hurt. Although I do want to make clear my theory that this movie will be infinitely better if we all agree it’s a sequel to Jim Jarmusch’s Dead Man.
