Harmony ,'Help'
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I mean, they can't do them like the book, but I really hope they aren't remotely like the ones in the first movie.They won't be, on account of the head writer has never seen the first film.

I'd elevate The Producers well above those two, but then I am in deep and helpless thrall to The Producers.
(eta: Not to speak ill of his performances in the other two, which are quite fine, but... The Producers! Like I said, thrall.)
Have you seen the musical? I wouldn't have believed it possible, but the stage version is even funnier than the movie.
Perhaps you've repressed it. It is a disturbing film.True, but Roald Dahl was very unhappy with the film because he felt it wasn't dark enough. Given the crew working on this one, I think they'll turn out a version Dahl would've approved of more.
