Hell freezes over and we all get a free Dr Pepper for it.

wow... i cant believe my ears

i was an american bread child. Meaning that i didnt read the book, and yes it may be sacralige. But thats the way it is, and i cannot believe my ears. The original may have strayed way away from the book, but the story, the characters and all the things that came with the movie (the edible room, the fizzy lifting drink, the geese that laid the golden eggs, the songs, the boat ride) was 100% better than anything tim burton adapted. MOSTLY the oompa loompas, the new oompa loompas sucked the infection out of my chlamidia ridden peepee. The songs were HORRIBLE, not catchy at all. And i understand they stayed true to the book, blah blah blah blah. But it sucked. I understand everyone wants to go down on johnny depp, and if i had to pick the best part of that movie it would have been his portrayal. Although very different than gene wilders, it was good in its own respect.

And i dont see the pedofileness at all. I mean yes, he was most indubidubly off his rocker, but thats what willy wonka was supposed to be. And overall i say he did a better job than that Disney wannabe peice of crap.

im literally angry right now. haha.

Fact. I still get chills up my spine when I hear 'Pure Imagination.' It represents everything I love about my childhood.

I read the book and it creeped me the fuck out just like most children's book from that era did (I loved, loved, loved it), so the Gene Wilder version was great in that it--like the book--had some awesome Gothic elements. It was also visually stunning and the actors were all magnificent.

I've not seen the Burton version, though I plan to eventually because it'll be a treat to see a film that is closer to the original story. However, I will say that, yes, I would love to go down on Johnny Depp.

the new version did not have the river song. i do not care if it is not in the book. the movie should have incorporated that part, as i remember being emotionally scared by the chicken getting its head cut off. we owe it to our children to perpetuate the cycle of violence.

Gene Wilder was a nigger pimp in that movie (yeah, that's right, I'm cross-pollinating threads now!)

Then you're part of the problem.

And like I said before, I didn't say any of the movies were any good. The new one strayed from the book in different ways that were just as annoying

Knifeboy, why do you hate joy?

Re: Hell freezes over and we all get a free Dr Pepper for it.

Because joy is sinful, and god will strike us all down if we don't stop feeling it!
