I think that’s mainly coz all the teenage goths who used to listen to The Cure’s early stuff have now grown out of it and are in their 30s and 40s. They still listen to it and attend gigs but in a more conservative manner. You can’t grow out of The Cure. Plus I agree that you cannot compare them. It’s completely different. In my opinion Johnny Depp is the greatest actor ever.

Your people are stupid. Tim Burton admitted he fashioned Edward Scissorhands AFTER Robert Smith. Smith was the inspiration for the character, retards. Of course E.S. looks like Smith. Do your research.

It might have something to do with that Tim Burton got his inspiration to most of his carachters from just Robert Smith.

FYI, I think Robert lookED better than Depp but hes getting old ^^

Amen in sister! Robert Smith was cooler than Johnny Depp could ever dream of being! Besides it is like comparing Apples to Oranges. Smith is a goth rocker and dep is an actor! Oh and lets not forget Smith was Emo before Emo existed!

The Cure is the best band that ever lived.
Johnny Depp is the best actor and coolest guy that ever lived.

Well said. Both Depp and Smith are trying to be themselves. In Edward Sissorhands, Depp is just trying to be the character.

The Cure definately had a large following, with the whole ‘goth’ look from Robert Smith. I appreciate both the movie Edward Sissorhands and the band The Cure.

hell yes! you win. they both rock so hard, and both are aiming to be dark and spooky. as for those of you who don’t think The Cure has a large following, you’re an imbecile. I went to see them in 2008 at Madison Square Garden.. and there was a mindblowing number of people there.. and guess what?

Most of them weren’t “emo/goth” kids.
Alot of them were very conservative adults.
Loads of very conservative people who listen to mainstream rock can still dig
darkwave and altrock like The Cure and Depeche Mode. I know of plenty.

I like Johnny Depp and Robert Smith and The Cure. Robert Smith has had that same look for a looong time, it is his stage persona. The Cure has been a successful and great band for a long time. Whether you like them or not, they have been very successful and have been so for many years, not an easy task for a rock band. Johnny Depp is an actor, and that picture is from a role he played, and actually played well. He is quite good at playing quirky roles. I don’t think either Robert Smith or Johnny Depp needs to be considered good or bad at the expense of the other. I personally like both men, respect and enjoy their work, and think both are attractive and sexy. So there, neener neener.

Robert Smith isn’t “an old has-been trying to look cool”; he’s nearly always worn his make-up and hair that way, why should he change it just because he’s got a bit older? And he will always be way better looking than Johnny Depp thankyou very much.

Tim Burton (who made Edward) were very inspired by Robert Smith and his cool band.

So it’s no accident that they look like they very same type of guy …

Tim Burton is a fan of the Cure. He did this on purpose. Quit your squabbles, kids.

I think Edward Scissorhands is adorable. Not so much the other guy.

Tim Burton has publically said in an interview that the image of Edward Scissorhands was very much inspired by Robert Smith. The photo should be reversed as to show the obvious inspiration, not the time paradox and misinformation.

Thanks for the clarification in the labeling. I’m sure I wouldn’t have realized that Edward Scissorhands was in the movie Edward Scissorhands.

I’m sorry, I’m a smart ass – just like hundreds of others on this site. Because it’s the internet, I can say anything I want and dont have to worry about having my ass beaten, kinda like flipping someone off on the freeway. I feel ashamed

umm, i think it was by design… tim burton and johnny depp both draw inspiration from real people, i.e. when jd said he was trying to be like keith richards from the POTC movies.
for this reason only do i vote this one down.

When I first saw the movie (I had to be like… what.. 7?) I totally thought they were the same person. Yeah, it took YEARS for me to realize it was Johnny Depp… What a sad person I am =C

Hey, lay off. the guy’s just trying to make a joke. What, like every single one of YOUR jokes is original?

I thought it was funny, “Randall”. Good on ya for spreadin’ the love.

Robert Smith is cooler than johnny depp simply for the fact that he has more talent and a stronger following…so there you go.

and trust me, I’d rather look at Johnny Depp looking like that for a movie than an old has-been trying to be cool.

Also, Matthew Frewer totally looks like Max Headroom. And Ranier Wolfcastle from the Simpsons totally looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger. And Spinal Tap totally looks like a rock band.

It ain’t a funny accident if it’s intentional, people.

yeah Tim Burton designed Edward Scissorhands to look like Robert Smith.

where is the robery horry/will smith at?

By: Randall

Randall — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 17:25:19 +0000

Robert Smith should do a cover of Coldplay’s Clocks, so when he sings, “Am I part of the cure/ or am I part of the disease?” we can say, “Ooh, we know this one!”
