Is that worthy of a *zing!*?
And Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka will be sweet (omglol pun). He'll be all staggering around like he's got a head full of acid and everything'll be all dark and gothic and twisted and stuff - like a hilarious mix of The Nightmare Before Christmas and Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas.
I'm saving my money already.
They make the shitty Nerds and Dweebs and things, but they also make chocolate over here - Wonka Xploder bars. Not sure whether it's Wonka as a subsidiary of Nestlé or something, but still, it's chocolate with Pop Rocks in and it's awesome.On a related note, does anyone else think it's fucked up that the Wonka candy company doesn't actually make chocolate? You know - "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and all.

It's already a pretty dark and twisted story to begin with. Essentially - 5 kids go into a chocolate factory full of midgets. 4 get tortured and mangled, and one gets the factory.
We have a child near-drowned and boiled.
Another gets dangerously obese and has her skin mutated.
Another one gets fried in a furnace.
And finally, we have one being put onto a rack and stretched out.
So - yeah. Creepy as hell.

Really, you couldn't have a more uneccesary remake. It's almost akin to remaking the Wizard of Oz.

Yeah, the book was a comedy thing, The movie concentrated more about scaring children into being good, The reason I'll hate a remake is because it will piss me offNgangbius wrote:Not so sure about that. Heard that Roald Dahl hated how the original movie turned out. Given Tim Burton's track record he could do the movie more justice than Mel Stuart. Also, Johnny Depp is awesome.
Besides, aren't you a bit curious on how Tim Burton will handle the infamous Ferry Scene?
1. New movies concentrate more on the before-story, meaning we'll be treated to half the show about Charlie before he entered the factory.
2. It will be modernized, The oompa loompa will probably be computerized, they'll be green screens.
3. I don't really wanna see tiny, tube-plugging, purple tinted, furnaced children again.
Yeah, I read that book, other books by that author are like that, all weird and non-sensical,j-man wrote:That book was a trip. They all go into space and fight these aliens that look like upside down eggs with red eyes, then his grandparents drink this stuff to make them younger and one of his grandmothers has too much and becomes a minus person...it's fucked up. And to think kids read this stuff.

So that book is real? I remember reading it way back in elementary school, but I couldn't remember what it was about. I also remember a book about going into space and fighting these egg aliens that changed shape to spell things or something. I guess they were the same book. That would make a fucked up movie, it had absolutely nothing to do with anything.

Fuck you. Roald Dahl was one of the greatest children's authors ever. I should know, he lived 10 miles from me and I have a fucking museum of his work in my town, and yes I've read all his books. I agree some were weird, but they were far from non-sensical. Pretty much every one had at least one good moral value slipped in there.Yeah, I read that book, other books by that author are like that, all weird and non-sensical,
Great Glass Elevator may have been a trip, but it wasn't bad, and his other books were far from it. I fail to see how Danny, Champion Of The World for example, a story about a boy and his dad finding new ways to poach pheasants, is in any way abstract.
The BFG owns you.

The Phantom Tollboth also rocks. It's one of the last few fantasy books written in the style of Carrol, Baum, and Dahl.
And the Great Glass Elevator was cool, if a little . . . odd. Not because of the plot, but because it was essentially two smaller stories (The space adventure, and then the anti-aging pills) mixed into one.
But hey, any book in which an insane candy-maker travels into space with 4 old people and a little kid to free a space station from an alien invasion is good in my book.
By the way - the blobby aliens? Vermicious Knids.
I hope the Oompa Loompas are done closer to the book. They're supposed to be minature cavemen, and not . . . orange midgets. Creepy.
If Dahl thinks that the movie adaptation of the Chocolate Factory was bad, let's be glad he died before he could see how Disney handled James and the Giant Peach.
Skeleton pirates. What the fuck?!

Well I just use the pronouncation they used in the movie(The name is used twice, when Wonka is explaining the Oompa Loompa's origins, he mentioned the Knids among the dangerous creatures they had to avoid, and Joe uses it when they board the boat)J.C.14 wrote: I read that book and I don't know how to pronounce it, I just can't
