would often recite lines from the movie anytime people asked him to.

That's awesome

RIP Leonard Stone

I remember watching him in both "Poppins" and "Bedknobs and Broomsticks" and being just blown away by his charm and his ability. Another piece of childhood gone to heaven.

Here's what I never got. Wily Wonka down everybody the freaky gum machine. And then proceeds to tell Violent, a gun fanatic, how this is the most amazing gum in the world and has the flavor of a three course meal. She snag it and starts chewing on it. Wonka starts telling her to spit the gum out, sounding very insincere I might add, and also conveniently forgetting that he handed the gum to her in the first place.

But never mind. Here's the part that gets me. She fishes the steak and is now describing the backed potato. Mr Beauregard adds "with sour cream!" and proceeds to laugh his ass of at his own joke. And I'm all, excuse me, but sour cream is a perfectly reasonable topping for a baked potato. What's next, it's hilarious if they add bacon bits? Ho ho, they're adding chives as well. Ain't that funny!

Seriously, that scene always makes me want to punch the TV.

Ultraviolet?


OK, it's a stretch

Hot like loaded milk

gunga galunga: Wonka down everybody

down = shows

No clue how that happened.

You might wanna look into decaf or something. I took that as him laughing at the notion of a stick of gum actually tasting like a three course meal. He couldn't believe it.

The 2006 version of Violet Beauregarde made me turn purple and swell up.

Ok, so this news item was less than interesting, but they've got a "whateverhappenedto..." link at the bottom.
Boring, *click* Yawn *click*...*click**click**click* OH. MY. GOD.

I'll wait.

That's pippi longstocking. I think I'd rip my dick off and throw it at her for the ability to say that it touched her.

...and I just wasted five seconds of my life submitting almost the exact same headline. shiat.

Oh, don't mind me. I'm just channeling my 8-year-old self that had a problem with that scene when I was that age, but never stopped to question why Willy Wonka would have a chamber of horrors in his chocolate factory.

Er...that's David Tomlinson. (new window)

Meh. I was hoping for Emily Browning who played Violet Baudelaire in Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events.

i'd rather save my ire for Grandpa Joe.

Cancer is a biatch. Good for him for finally being free of it.

Mmmmmmm, FTV Violet!

Is that Randy Quaid?

He was on Law & Order a bunch of times, too.

Here's a clue into the nature of that scene:

Roald Dahl really didn't like kids all that much.

The above is a bit on intentional cluelessness based on my younger self's inability to grasp the subtext.

And Gene Wilder's deliver of "Don't. Stop. Come back" is priceless.

gunga galunga: gunga galunga: Wonka down everybody

Seriously? Out of that entire paragraph, that's all you think that you misspelled?

/No clue how that happened

No offense, but that's the only error you noticed on reviewing your post?

Although I'll admit that this one was quite amusing, and at first had me thinking the errors were intentional:
"And then proceeds to tell Violent, a gun fanatic,..."

Am I the only one who thought Violet was a lesbian? And Veruca was in need of some serious meds? Four grandparents in a bed...somewhat disturbing?

He was also the newsman in "Ghostbusters" who talked about a spectral locomotive or something.

I hope you meant to do that.

Not to be insensitive, but I was REALLY worried it was Gene Wilder.

Which is why I'm disappointed my headline wasn't picked (not that it was a great one). People would have probably freaked.

/ "Don't tell me about death, Wonka -- it's strictly for suckers."

It was Freudian. Boss was pissing me off yesterday so I was felling a little "shooty".
