Several things:

1.) Is "Charlie & The Chocolate Factory" closer to the book than the previous film? I saw "Willy Wonka etc." as a child and found it to be a profound disappointment as I was such a fan of the film. (I then understand why my mom banned me from seeing "Mary Poppins".)

2.) I had lunch with Jimmy John a couple of years ago at an Elgin Academy alumni event. Alas, I don't know him well enough to get you an in.

3.) I hope the new Harry Potter gets better than it has been for the first 50 pages, which are basically like, "Previously on Harry Potter..."

4.) I saw Run Lola Run when it came out and I love it. Do you remember the reference to it on the Simpsons in the episode in which Homer's thumb is severed and Lisa invents a grammar-correcting robot?

5.) You keep putting "accent grave" (è) when you mean "accent aigu" (é). The latter makes e sound like a (as in café).

Answer to 1 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is strictly based off the book.

1. Well I don't rememember the book too well, as it was read to me in first grade. People say it's closer. There are nut-shelling squirrels instead of golden geese and it shows the outcome of all of the naughty children. I know those two things were in the book. Tim Burton still did add some things of his own into it.

2. I never knew that Jimmy Johns had been founded by someone in our area. I just got an interview at Barnes and Noble, though, so I'm excited about that.

4. I remember Linguo. I didn't know that episode was based off anything (I thought they were just being creative) until I saw the movie.

5. I don't know how to type "accent aigu", though.
