Meh. Carrey and Myers are too hyper to play Wonka. Look at Gene Wilder's presentation of Wonka and you can see that he may be odd and eccentric but he's also very much under control of himself. Depp can pull that off, as we saw in Pirates of the Caribbean. But Carrey and Myers are too out of control.

And that gets old after awhile.

Carey? I can't say I agree with you on that one Nex. While the guy is great for some roles, he's not great for everything. As Daewen said, he's just too spastic. Willy Wonka is much more brooding and comtemplative.

(it's 'pedophile') While there is wide speculation (and nothing more) that Carroll was a pedophile, he was also a fundamentalist christian... so it's pretty much a given that he was a least a little off in the head.

/Deflects some of the hate-spam

a petifile is someone who stuffs hamsters, gerbils, and calico cats into filing cabinets :roll:

omg, I fell out of my chair there boinky. Don't forget, somehow that filing cabinet is actually a product of apple, the new iFile.

Then you get the overall feel of the original book as well

by **Oddysee** » Fri Dec 17, 2004 6:45 pm

There was more than one version of the book? Read it as a kid, can't remember, but I don't recall it as dark...

Then again, I prolly wasn't entirely normal... ^^

Well what tim burton (Love all his movies especially TNBC) is trying to have somewhat imagination with it but trying his best to keep it more like the book then willy wonka and the chocolate factory cause the writer of catcf hated willy wonka in the chocolate factory and wouldn't release rights as a sequel as you can tell tim burton is making a remake and not a sequel AHHH OOOOOOOOOO *cheer*

by **Tacz** » Fri Dec 17, 2004 9:02 pm

Sure they stop teaching you spelling in 7th, but shouldn't you be using the words, reading, writing, etc. enough that you don't forget and pick up more complex words by slow assimilation?

by **ShadeRaven** » Fri Dec 17, 2004 9:04 pm
