Back to back, I'm half-watching parts of both Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. They're both creepy, but that's the source material. The Oompa Loompas don't give me nightmares like they used to. I had to hide from those scary animated words when I was a child! Gene Wilder's Wonka somehow reminds me of David Tennant's Doctor. "No, please... don't do that... stop" delivered in complete deadpan. Marc thinks Johnny Depp's character is a lot like Sarah Palin. And you're right,
princejvstin, it is great to see Christopher Lee again.
Since Snurf has read the book several times, I wonder which version she'll prefer.
