WARNING! CONTAINS INFO. ABOUT CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY!
This is possibly the hardest journal to write in. I have to write conscious of the fact that people will read it. So here is a small truth. I am slightly overweight and have some deep scars and my life isn't thrilling (at the moment...). Although the mundane can be very interesting on a personal level. For instance, today I saw Charlie and etc (it is too fricken long to write...we all know...Johnny Depp acting as an eccentric yet lovable recluse blah blah blah).
I thought that Johnny Depp brought a little of Edward Scissorhands to the role (he was better than I thought he would be, although the giggling was too contrived and they made the part too young). To be perfectly honest, I can't think of an actor alive or dead who could do that part justice. Augustus Gloop could have been ALOT better conceptually speaking. That role could have been made more contemporary...he reeks of a comfort eating, safety kid with idiot parents that believe that he is allergic to everything under the sun and won't let him out to play because of 'strange men in the park'.
But alot of what could have been given to Augustus was given to Mike TV, who was played to perfection and conceptualised beautifully as an aggro, play station addicted turd. The original Veruca Salt couldn't be improved upon (it must be said) and she was upstaged continually by Violet Beauregarde who (along with her mother) was the perfect incarnation of the worst sort of reality TV contestant/Nazi.
The Oompa Loompa's were much closer to what Roald Dahl originally imagined them (meaning the land they came from), but looked like miniature gimps wrapped in a rainbow array of PVC jumpsuits (which btw, were most unflattering). That they were also played by the one character took away alot of what is so good about the original Oompa Loompa's...such as the stories about their off-set behaviour. The crabby grandpa was the best part by far. The boat was the best piece of scenery. I missed the warped psychedelic tunnel scene. Having Oprah in the movie was very, very bad....questions must be raised over wether or not she was responsible for the sappy, Family First-esque ending. Wilbur Wonka (as played by an ex-Hammer vampire whose name I should know) was good in the part but I think that they were trying too hard to recapture (?) some of the quirky references to psychiatry/psychology that were made in the original.
And there were previews of The Chronicles of Narnia and the next Harry Potter! smile
I have visitors in my garden....little European Goldfinches are nesting...

Dinosaurs once ruled the Earth. Records indicate this is because every other living thing was mysteriously over-eager to do their bidding.

Why was that, do you think? biggrin
