Speedball Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Anybody seen the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? It was OK I guess, they souped up the special effects a bit and the ending was quite different than expected. Willys voice was reeeeeally weird, but was probably due to the way his father treated him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formica Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 The first thing that came to my mind when I saw it was "this must have been written in the decade of hallucinogenics"... the 60's. [] Once you get past that... it does have charm and a quirky story line fits Tim Burton like a glove. I am a little surprised by the films popularity, as it isn't one of those films, which would appeal to everyone. BTW, I'm not sure if it's intentional, but Willy's skin colour goes from vibrant flesh to grey on several occasions. ROb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Captain Jack is back, Depp is wonderfully weird, but so is the movie, kinda a Lemmony Snicket kind of thing, certainly a Tim Burton type movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtel's daughter Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 "Good Morning starshine, Motherearth say 'hello'. " I remember this movie from when I was a kid and figured it would be ok to bring my five year old to see it in the theater. He loved it. For Chistmas my fiance got the movie as a present. He too loves it. Personally I think the movie was good and Depp was a great choice to play Willy Wonka. The humor was geared towards the more mature audience as was some of the new parts added to the movie. The kids loved it for the story of Charlie finding the golden ticket and getting to go to the factory and everything that comes with it.

sunburnwilly Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I've heard so many mixed reviews on this flick that I'm going to wait for it to come on cable . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyKlipschFan Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Loved the book./ Loved the original with Gene Wilder... All of the kids.... And the kid as Charley was incredible. We, as kids, believed in what we saw on the screen just as much as he did.... The power of faith and a dream! Now to WIlly Wonka 2005? I HATED this version. Just Tim Burton wrecking it for me. One Oompa Loompa computer generated...?? FLUSH this movie down the crapper... The "Truth in the pudding" for me, was my 4 1/2 yr old daughter... She said.. "Daddy, I didn;t like this movie at all." I said, "I didn't either." She giggled..and said, "Yes.. peeeee eeewwww it stunk!" We BOTH laughed!!!! hahahahaah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Def Leper Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 The trailer creeps me out even more than the original movie. I guess I'll just have to wait for Dep to do another impersonatoin of a drunken Errol Flynn in the next Pirates of the Carribean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depp has been quoted as saying he was "channelling" Keith Richards into his character. I will be glad to see his character coming back to the big screen, although, since I am purchasing a Plasma TV, I doubt I will go see it there!

Def Leper Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Yeah, I know what you mean about theaters. I almost walked out in the middle of The War of the Worlds because the theater had cranked down the voltage on the bulb and the picture was so murky it was almost unwatchable. After getting the DVD, I realized just how much, since huge blocks of the scenes are so burned out that there are no highlights, but in the theater they were gray. Add to the the usual gang of Druids with cell phones, and even a pair that seemed to be roasting a skunk carcass. Also, a somewhat rare beast these days, a guy who decided to light up. I told the gum-popping manager of the Star Theater that I wouldn't be back. He said he didn't care. We enjoyed the showing of the latest Harry Potter but at a different theater. We went back to the same theater for King Kong, and once again got to enjoy several renditions of moronic ring tones that fairly shout "I'm a moron" and the druids were there too. (Only eating some strange form of cheese this time, or perhaps French-fried goodyear tires.) Sure makes it more desireable to sit down in front of the 53", which actually tends to have a better sound and picture these days than the theater, and the only Druids in the place are us.

IndyKlipschFan Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I am feeling a little "A Clockwork Orange" here... And nothing a little nasty wouldn't solve at home too. Try that in a public theater with the druids...LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try that in a public theater with the druids...LOL I have to admit that after a night in a public theatre, i come away feeling a bit shagged and fagged and fashed, it having been an evening of some small energy expenditure... It Roger's case, it would be a good thing.... [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyKlipschFan Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 hahahaahah Just a small expenditure...?? I loved "A Clockwork Orange" seriously a very sick movie but it gripped me in HS when I forst saw it.. a few times in college then many years later. I also have almost three different feelings of how I viewed it too. based on my own age and experience. The acting was great, sometimes made you sick too... And the turn on the charachters... Oh My!!!! Just one of those movies that rips your guts out.. from many strange angles... Fashed?? That's a new one for me.. Or did you mean FLASHED??? hahahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formica Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Fashed?? That's a new one for me.. You'll have to watch it again and report back, but i'm pretty sure it's "fashed"... The novel actually had a dictionary at the back to help translate the expressions...[8-|] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
