Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned  

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.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

That's just wrong. They should have the freaky orange tans and the hair/beards/eyebrows that look like they're made of taffy.

Oh good. It looks like this version of Oompa Loompas won't give me nightmares for decades. That makes me happy.

Nooo. Those are the scary Oompa Loompas that traumatize young goths.

Hey. New board.

Images from Willy Wonka

Images are cool. The comments, however, are yet more evidence for why I hate 99.7% of the internets.

This movie (called Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, a title that contains neither the word "Willy" nor the word "Wonka") is NOT, repeat NOT, a remake of the Gene Wilder film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

It is (supposedly) a more faithful, non-musical (at least I think so), far more creepy-atmospheric adaptation of the BOOK. The famous book by the author Roald Dahl. Who was justfiably disappointed in the original movie, which was NOT his book, at least in feel.

I love that the kids actually are young. I think they were like 8-11 or so in the books, and the kids in the original look too old.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Ooh. Elektra looks really cool.

Jennifer Garner is pretty. And cool.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I like the original movie. Gene Wilder, pretending to be benevolent, and actually being creepy as fuck.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I love the original movie. It's a slasher flick.

Oh, random Incredibles comment: Anyone else catch the license plate of the police car in the opening chase scene? KR-54.
