Dr. Walsh ,'Potential'
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.
Unlike the 1971 Gene Wilder film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, based on the same book, which featured psychedelic elements in its adaptation
I dare anyone to watch the trailer with the song in it and tell me that the new version is devoid of psychedelic elements.
Huh...is it something you have to have a penis to appreciate?
It is deeply steeped in testosterone. But mostly it's about honor and friendship and sacrifice and fucking up. Which are not exclusive to penis-wielders.

So Klingons would like it?

Do Klingons admit to fucking up?
Are they even powered by testosterone? I think they have special Klingosterone which is an order of magnitude more potent.
Do Klingons admit to fucking up?
They need Picard around to tell them they fucked up first.
Oh, yeah, fairly universal-type stuff, only the YaYas did it with paper crowns on their heads, iirc. I'm teasing, a little. Don't wanna think about Klingosterone, although it's fun to type, but, just...no.(Although with this tag can't throw geek stones. Damn it.)
I'm pleased that they included The Singing Detective on that list even though it's not actually a movie. It almost balances out my bewilderment at seeing E.T. in there.
Have you ever seen it in a theater? LoA is one of those where big screen is the only way to go (see also 2001).
No, but I think I might have a thing against desert movies in general, ever since I saw A Far Off Place, that movie about the two kids walking through the desert. The most exciting part off that movie was when they passed the elephant. Maybe I've just been anti-desert movies since seeing that.
Well, desert elephants are kind of sad, because the water for them to frolic in is much rarer. I can see how that could get one down.
Doesn't A Far Off Place star Reese Witherspoon?
