    Apparently we should see the movie remake starring Depp hit our cinema screens during the summer.

    Will look forward to that. I used love that movie as a Kid (still do). They play it every Christmas on TV, and I never get fed up of it.

    Yup, you can still buy Wonka bars (they are yummy!). The trailer for the new Wonka movie looks crap - there is a distinct lack of oompa loompas in it :( I dunno why they are re-making it, coz it's never gonna be as good as the original.

    You shouldn't fix something that ain't broken! / You can't improve on perfection!

    Interesting point tinkerbell, but you can actually perfect on perfection!! Something that is good can always be made better. For instance, you maybe a good person, but there is always some room for improvement, room to expand, to broaden ones mind, to bet your best, etc.

    ... In the words of Maslow, to become "self actualised"!!!
    Yes, new Wonka film is out on July 29th I think. Can't wait. Very interested in finding out about Wonka bars - never knew they existed! ;)

    i'm not happy at all about the remake of the willy wonka film!
    1. why??! what was wrong with the original?!!
    2. depp looks like a scary tranvestite
    3. the oompa loompas are ANIMATED!!!!!! NO!!!! we wont have the lil' orange men walking around singing their little song... 'oompa loompa doopady do, i've got another puzzle for you..' (sp?)

    the original is a classic which many of my friends get up to watch every christmas morn!

    We'll just have to wait and see it won't we? Judge for ourselves.
