Good morning Starshine! The earth says, hello!

THINGS I LIKED ABOUT CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY:
* Johnny Depp (MUMBLER!!)
* Freddy Highmore as Charlie (300 times better than that girl-y looking Peter Ostrum from Willy Wonka)
* The music
* The oompa loompas (Deep Roy is hilarious)
* All the children
* The set design
* How much truer to the book it was

THINGS I DIDN'T REALLY LIKE ABOUT CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY:
* The flashbacks (I really found them unnecessary and distracting)
* The narrator's accent (it distracted me)
* Christopher Lee ( I LOVE him, but I felt he was wasted here)
* Helena Bonam Carter's teeth (Seriously, WTF?!)
* The over-emphasis on "family"
* How neither Johnny Depp or Gene Wilder got Willy Wonka right... at least in my opinion. Both were EXCELLENT, and I love both movies, but neither seem quite like the Willy Wonka from the book.

Overall, excellent movie. Tim Burton + Johnny Depp = KICK ASS FILM. Guaranteed. It's when you start adding Marky Mark and monkey planets into the mix that Tim Burton starts losing his golden touch.

Today was boring. And you know what that means.

ok so i just read through your survey quiz thing and i love how you put in it that your nickname was "i kill puppies". because it's true. stop it, sandra, you're a bad person.

i tried to get some guy at work to play ghost with me, but he was dumb at doing it. he was so dumb he didn't even realize when i had spelled a word (aggro) and when i told him that it was a word, he tried to play it off like he knew but wanted to keep going.

yeah, and work is going to be really boring for me tomorrow and on sunday, too! so i'm just going to cry a little and read the three books that i bought tonight at chapters.

I tried playing ghost at lunch with my friend, but we were doing it out loud and it is surprisingly more difficult to do without the letters written in front of you!

And I will stop killing puppies when they stop being so darn squeezable and huggable. IT'S NOT MY FAULT MY LOVE FOR THEM IS LETHAL!

I didn't like how Jhonny Depp would do a nervous smile after saying something rudely appropriate. he should have just been an asshole, i would have liked him more that way.

[info]fan_addict

Haha that certainly would have made for an interesting interpretation of Willy Wonka! I did enjoy his little one liners and reactions to the kids, he made it no secret that he clearly hates children.

I. LOVED. JOHNNY. DEPP. You seriously have no idea. I kept randomly grinning at work today as I'd remember a line from the movie... damn. I loved that movie. Yet, I could have done without the oompa loompas completely. Strange.

[info]fan_addict

July 22 2005, 19:02:21 UTC 6 years ago

Hahaha My friend Nalinda hated the oompa loompas too! But I loved them!! I liked the fact that they actually sang the songs from the book this time, and I thought their dance numbers were hilarious. But maybe it was just me....


Johnny Depp was phenomenal though. And while I stil really loved Gene Wilder's version, Johnny's interpretation of Wonka was just so fantastic. I cannot choose between the two!

This will kill you

Goddamn I can't wait to talk to you about this so here we go.

As I board my flight in Calgary to Toronto, I notice that I have someone sitting next to me. He looks kinda familiar, upon closer inspection, and noticing his boarding pass, I realize it's Kalan Porter and burst out laughing.

I proceed to talk to him, just being polite for you and I mention how I laughed because of your obsession with him... He's kinda funny looking in person :P but I'm sure you just can't wait to touch the hand I shook his with ;)

Re: This will kill you

OH. MY. GOD.

I'M SO JEALOUS!! YOU SHOULD HAVE GOT ME AN AUTOGRAPH!!!

Did you totally scare him into thinking I'm some creep? Man, now if I ever meet him he'll be like, "I know you, this guy on the plane once told me you were a psycho! SORRY, NO PICTURE OR AUTOGRAPH FOR YOU"

He's so pretty... you should have kidnapped him and made him live in your basement so he could sing to me. Between that and Titus, you'd be GUARANTTED visits! =P

Re: This will kill you

And the Critic.

And also I think I should get guaranteed visits cuz you just love me... Right? :(

And yeah sorry I didn't have anything for him to sign for you, I totally thought of that
