do arrogant narcissistic crazy people die in it?
Nope, but it is a documentary about somewhat crazy people directed by Herzog. It's awesome.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I don't like overexplaining backstory that kills the mystery on what is an essentially mysterious man.
Well you're just a big, cranky, non-magical POLAR BEAR!!

Do you know how that plotlet actually plays out?
What I've heard is that Julia Roberts only briefly speaks to Bradley Cooper on a plane where they're seated together. They are not a couple, they do not date, and Cooper is traveling to visit Eric Dane, his closeted NFL player boyfriend. So apparently the big twist they're playing up on the PR circuit is "OMG! GAY PEOPLE EXIST!!!1!" not that Julia finds out her man has a boyfriend on the side .

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Huh. If it's not a twist for the audience, then I don't get the point other than being promo chickenshit.

What's magic about turning Dracula/Sauron into a freakin' dentist?

Not that part - the part where Willy goes home and has dinner with Charlie's family. Just that little part.

Psst, Hec. Saruman. Sauron was played by a suit of armour and then a flaming yoni.
And Dracula could use the dental work.

I hate that part! The earlier version is much better. The plot actually makes sense and it comes down to Charlie making a choice which defines him. In the Burton Wonka we get a needless, over-explainy, here's-10-minutes-of-my-last-therapy-session, backstory. Willy Wonka does not need a conventional finds-a-family plot resolution. He's much more intriguing as the slightly sinister figure portrayed by Gene Wilder.
The Burton Wonka (which has its virtues) pours simple syrup over the main character.

Oops.
Remember the days of the flaming yoni? Good times.
