Hmmm, Johnny Depp as Willie Wonka is reminding me strangely of the guy from H.R. Pufinstuff. You know, the guy who had the talking flute.
Bar maid! Bring me stronger ale! And some plump, succulent babies to eat!

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.

Wow. Tim Burton and Roald Dahl: a marriage made in nightmare heaven. Eeeeks! And yet, strangely compelling.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
From the teaser, anyway, it doesn't look different enough from the original movie to have been worth re-adapting the book. But hopefully the longer trailer will have some footage that convinces me otherwise.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I'm feeling the same way about Flight of the Phoenix.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I totally just saw ELF! And it was so totally cute!
Yay! Told you, Alibelle.
Huh. The Wonka trailer makes the movie look...zanier than I expected.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Have you read the book, PC? Seen the original?

I can't remember. I might have.
Seen the original?
Yes, I love it, and it's not zany like that teaser is zany. It's far more sinister. It's a slasher movie, dude.

Batman Begins trailer. It's like some kind of awesome privilege, being the first one to post stuff like this.
