Members The Great Waldo Pepper Posted June 28, 2005 Members Share Posted June 28, 2005 Sorry Gainster I couldn't resist a spinoff thread of my very own! No seriously I don't usually get excited about movies. Unless it is that nasty muckraking type or whatnot. Of course I love the original a ton. So this one has a lot of living up to do. I am looking forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original is one of my favorite movies ever. I still drool everytime they enter the room made of candy with the chocolate river. And that song kills me.

Members Backstepper Posted June 28, 2005 Members Share Posted June 28, 2005 Being a big fan of the original, and the book and all things Roald Dahl in general, I'm a little leary of the remake. The presence of Johnny Depp does give me hope though. We shall just have to see. And by the way for anyone who has never read Roald Dahl's adult fiction, get to the book store now, right now and find some. Very very good stuff, and qquiet a bit of risque too.

Members Thelonius Posted June 28, 2005 Members Share Posted June 28, 2005 It will be cool. I only saw the first one in its entireity last year. My wife was appalled at me. Johnny Depp is one cool cat. As is Tim Burton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Thelonius Posted June 28, 2005 Members Share Posted June 28, 2005 It'd be cool to be Johnny Depp. I'd live in France and hang out with Marilyn Manson all the time, and have lots of good looking ladies wanting to do it with me and play Django songs on the guitar all the time.

Members Sir H C Posted June 28, 2005 Members Share Posted June 28, 2005 Johnny rules for having been in a band with Gibby Haynes of the Butthole Surfers. It is weird that this movie's title is slightly different than the other, though from what I understand it is more in line with the book. I just wonder if it will take as much time for Charlie to win and get in the factory as the original (isn't that about 1/2 the movie?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good question. I suppose at the time of the original they were more into character development than special effects and set design. The whimsical Wonka World is what we all love. The second Wonka loses his cane is where it begins kickin. We understand that Charlie was a good poor kid, lets get on with it! The two sets of grandparents in the same bed always disturbed me.

Members pondo sinatra Posted June 28, 2005 Members Share Posted June 28, 2005 Is it just me or does Depp character remind you a bit of an amusement park owning recluse who invites kids into his world and then fondles them? Jus' sayin'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members coz boogie 65 Posted June 29, 2005 Members Share Posted June 29, 2005 "The suspense is killing me....I hope it doesn't end." Wilder was perfect as the subtle Wonka. No one will ever stand in his boots or have the pure magic that he did. Depp and Burton are insane to try such a remake that his still fresh in the minds of most people. It was only 30 some odd years ago. Maybe in another 30 years a remake would seem logical and doable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pennypusher Posted June 29, 2005 Members Share Posted June 29, 2005 I'm sure this will be one of those weird "disappointing box offices smashes". In all likelihood, it totally sucks, but people will cram into theatres to see it anyway.It seems like a travesty to me ... kind of like Ron Howard's "Grinch" movie a few years back. Utter blasphemy, but it was a huge hit anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
