Well, here's the trailer for Burton's remake of "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" starring Johnny Depp.
I'm sorry, but this is a fucking travesty. The original movie was a fucking masterpiece; perfect in every way. Even the effects hold up beautifully by today's standards. I see absolutely no reason and, more importantly, no need to remake this movie. And, based on the strength of the trailer, I have a feeling I am going to dislike this movie a great deal.
Now, I fully admit that Johnny Depp is a fucking genuis, and I love his work, but he'll never top Wilder. Never. Not in this role. Besides, just because the man is a God among actors doesn't mean that every movie he does is genuis.
That said, let the flaming begin.

Ooooh, is there any really old Playboy stuff? I went with my step dad to buy something from some guy's farm and the inside of the barn was turned into a work area, complete with old pinup girls wallpapering the entire place. Very nice. Anyway, I'm looking for old pinup pics for an art project.

Wow. I hadn't seen the preview for it yet but was excited to. I'm not quite so excited now. I was under the assumption that they were going to do an entirely new version of it. Not just redo the original. I know that the writer of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (his name escapes me at the moment) did not at all like what they did in the original movie. So, based on that, I thought Tim Burton was going to come up with something different. It looks too much like the old version to me. And nothing is going to beat the original version.
