You Get Nothing! You Lose! Good Day Sir! (0:15)

Self explanatory.

Why the hell did they remake this movie. Gene Wilder is Willy Wonka. He has that devilish quality but he also has that twinkle in his eye that was missing with Johnny Depp.

[And Tim Burton is grossly over-rated as a director.]

I like both versions of Willy Wonka and I don't feel they can really be compared. Depp's Wonka version is supposed to be creepy, without the twinkle, and the whole movie is a bit darker ( IMO anyway ). The cheap duplication of the midget for the Oompa-Loompas was a huge disappointment though. I really looked forward to the modern interpretation of them.

I half agree.

The 1971 musical Willie Wonka movie was best. However, I like both Gene Wilder and Johnny Depp's approach. It's sorta like choosing your favorite Bond or Dr. Who. Preference, of course, is Wilder, but I think Depp -- it's been a while (like 15 years) since I read the series -- I think Depp was truer to the original books.

Also, I think Burton is fantastic. Sure, maybe (maybe!) a little over-rated, but not too many directors make the kinds of movies he makes; so there's a little reasoning for why he *may* be over-rated.

Personally, I think carbon-based lifeforms are over-rated.

I think this video does count as a *meme since I think you can trace a lot of the tiresome gadzookery and steampunk on the internet back to this moment in our childhood. I'm guiltier than anyone.
