Hey, Warbler, since you seem to be really up on both the book and the original movie, could you answer my question? Is Charlie's father in the book and deceased in the original movie? Or is he in every adaptation? Or is he just in the new movie? Although I am about to watch the original movie in a few minutes, at least let me know for the book.


He is alive in the Book. Of course, Grandpa is still the one that takes Charlie to the chocolate factory. Charlie's father is not in the original movie. I can't remember wheither they said he was dead or not. That is one the new movie did get more accurate.

Well, I saw the movie at Sessler's insistance, and I thought it was terrible. Depp was awful. Whoever picked him for the role of Wonka should be shot. The back story should not have been added. It was not in the book and was not necessary. It only made the Wonka character less likable and ruined the ending. This is one movie that should not have been made. Why is it, Hollywood is insistant on remaking classics and ruining them? While I was there, I saw an advertisement for another remake that is doomed to failure. King Kong. Also I saw a poster for yet another remake. The Bad News Bears. Can't Hollywood come up with anything new? What's next? A remake of Casblanca directed by George Lucas and staring Hayden Christensen?

You're looking to pick a fight, or whatever you want to call what you are trying to do, in every thread by saying all kinds of stupid shit and its really getting old.

And those that are playing along and acting stupid themselves are just as guilty if not guiltier.


Calm down Sessler. Don't play into his hand.

I havn't read the Harry Potter books or Kafka. But I can tell you this: If the Potter books are anything like the Potter movies, they certainly aren't crappy. Stop being so hard on them. These books have gotten alot of kids to read. They may not be great classic literature, but I believe they are good books.

I got the book out. It doesn't go into much detail about what Wonka looked like. But if they were going for accuracy shouldn't Depp have had a goatee? The book described Wonka as having a goatee. Also I didn't any description that would make Depp look closer to Wonka than Wilder. Yes, I know Wilder didn't have a goatee either.
