I really have to watch that movie again.

was just talking about this movie this morning -- about how scary/creepy it was to some children when it came out (and perhaps a few, still, today)... And I summarily hypothesized it had something to do with the dark, suggestive, elements about corporate ownership of the consumer and how, unlike Orwell's 1984 where books are burned in an effort to maintain an ignorant society, no books are burned in Willy Wonka's world because no interest in books even exists -- such interest has been supplanted by craving for sugar, chocolate, and other candies -- and not even the "fine print" is considered....

"Who can take a sunrise?"
"The Candy Man can!"

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Wow, masterful.

My kids still won't watch this movie. The blueberry scene. Too much.

I always hated it when I was a kid because it could never compare to the book. In the end, it was that foam tractor thing that did it. WTF was that? That was no longways-going glass elevator. In fact, I still don't like it, even if Gene Wilder is brilliant.

And yeah, I cover my eyes when they go through the tunnel in the candy boat, so what?

There's no earthly way of knowing,
Just how high this sift is going...

This has been running thru my head for 2 days.

You Lose, Good Day, Good Day,...
