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.

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.

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!
July 22 2005, 22:36:49 UTC 6 years ago
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
July 23 2005, 13:00:50 UTC 6 years ago
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
