The movie was definitely kick ass... the only thing that kind of disappointed me was the boat/tunnel scene... but when the movie was over, I thought about it some more and I could only imagine Tim Burton's stress over that scene ( ... )

Omg yeah! I totally agree with you about the boat/tunnel scene. I mean Tim Burton's vision of the movie was already twisted as it is, I was so looking forward to seeing what he was going to do with it! I guess what you say makes sense though, because what stood out in the original was that boat scene. I guess he used that as inspiration for his vision of the movie, so it makes sense for him to tone down the boat scene. Maybe it would've been too much. Still, it would've been cool to see SOMETHING instead of just the boat sloshing around.

Now...the squirrels...well...I've never seen Evil Dead so that actually never crossed my mind. Actually, I'm very glad that never crossed my mind. :S

As for Hunter S. Thompson....um...I really hate to admit it but I've never seen Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. I'll have to rent it sometime! I've always wanted to see it. But apparantly he said his inspiration for Wonka came from, strangly enough, game show talk hosts and children show hosts. Check out this quote:When Tim and I talked about doing it ( ... )

Well, in Evil Dead, it was the woods themselves doing it to the girl... but the pin down, and the one limb at a time, and even the girl's face swinging to look at her limbs as they were being held was bang on... then when the legs spread... eep.

As for the inspiration for the character, I can definitely see that.
