Bwahahahhaha, that movie you described would indeed receive my full endorsement. Especially if an Oompa Loompa was used to aide in aforementioned acts of depravity. Oompa Loompa doobidie doo, undo my fly, there's a present for you. . .

Also It's my belief that the Chocolate Factory stands for HELL, and that at the end Charlie realizes his soul is DAMNed and that he has to spend an eternity with Gen... Johnny Depp. So you're saying you haven't read "Willy Wonka and the Great Glass Elevator"? I saw a poster for Cat in the Hat in a movie theater recently, and DAMN IT that was a scary costume Mike Meyers was in. That movie will give young children nightmares.

Originally posted by phoenixie: oh well i'm just so sorry i have offended ye, your royal highness, oc. i am quite literate, but fail to see how tim burton will make this movie based on the book when i read in a newsstand magazine at the grocers that this is a remake Of The Movie. i can say overrated. i say it all the time when someone else mentions the matrix. The Matrix is overrated, but that's a different thread. I've read from numerous sources (including Tim Burton) that the new film is based on the novel and not the original movie. Hmmm...maybe the fact that the new movie is called "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" opposed to "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" is a clue. ------------------ I once was down in Mexico, buying some chiclets and prescription drugs and I met Jesus. He was selling bottles of sand. I asked him his name in my best Spanish and he said, "Jesus". I asked him if the sand was holy and if so, shouldn't it be free, he said, "Donde esta el dinero?". And I told Jesus that his country's water had given me diarrhea. I then asked for him to heal me. He and twelve people that supposedly lived with him, dragged me into an alley and brutally beat and raped me. New Jesus sucks hard.

There's a lot of buzz for his new movie, Big Fish. Experts say it has Oscar potential and that it could land Tim Burton his first Oscar nomination.

Originally posted by David A: It doesn't make any difference if Tim Burton is making an adaptation of a book or a remake of a film. The fact is that he's gotten lazy, and he doesn't make anything original anymore. Though it's very much a revisionist film, Tim has been working for the past decade to get The Corpse Bride made. It is loosely based on a folktale, but he had Caroline Thompson ( Edward Scissorhands, Nightmare Before Christmas) pen the script. She's an excellent writer, and I have a feeling she will dramatically distort the simple plot (After all, ES can easily be seen as a revisionist Frankenstein). Tim will not be directing the film, but he will produce, as he did with Nightmare and James and the Giant Peach. Perhaps it may not be entirely original, but it is not as though he was handed the script or asked to direct. And you can bet he's going to take the story of a dead bride and transform it into something heart-warmingly macabre, as he does for every film of his. He pursued this project for years and Warner Bros. has finally approved it (Production is scheduled to begin in London this month). So anyone who claims he isn't "involved" in his own ideas anymore is either misinformed or ignorant, whichever you prefer.
