Johnny Depp, Russell Crowe, Keanu Reeves, Oh My! Ten Film Star Music Projects That are Way Worse Than Ryan Gosling's Dead Man's Bones

If you've been poking around lately on those music blogs they have on the interwebs, chances are you've heard a thing or two about the new ANTI- signing, Dead Man's Bones, which also happens to be the band of Half Nelson/The Notebook/bunch of other stuff movie star, Ryan Gosling. Now, the music of Dead Man's Bones doesn't move me in any particular way, good or bad; it's just kind of there. "Gothic folk," as they say, complete with a kinda-creepy children's choir.

It was a faraway beach at sunset. Will Turner lightly kissed Elizabeth Swan's leg and headed out for 10 years of captaining the Flying Dutchman, and audiences of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End were left with more questions than answers. What would happen, the crowd wondered (perhaps skeptically, seeing that this was already a sequel to a sequel), in 10 years when the lovers reunited? Over the course of a lonely decade, would the loopy, eye-shadow-smeared embrace of Capt. Jack Sparrow start to look attractive to the husband-deprived Mrs. Turner?
