We're mere days away from Doomsday's #1 film of the year. To celebrate, let's journey back to the original with a live report. |

Wow small world, my kid and I are watching the original this very second. We just finished the tunnel scene, she thought it was pretty tame.

The opening is a montage of a regular chocolate factory, which contradicts the whole premise of the movie.

We're introduced to our protagonist, Charlie, who stands outside the window as all his classmates share a song and dance at the candy store.

Charlie got a job delivering newspapers and used his first paycheck to buy a loaf of bread for his family.

I've heard the story of Grandpa Joe being a villain. What's the reasoning behind that again? Is it just another dumb internet theory?

SnoBorderZero-- This movie exists in a universe in which the whole world loses their shit over a candy company contest. -- Charlie is the most annoying of all the kids. Little shit-head gonna grow up to be an incel. -- Funny how Slugworth happens to magically show up whenever someone finds a golden ticket. You'd almost suspect they were planted. -- The less said about Grandpa Joe the better.

Tim Burton wasn't wrong. The river of chocolate looks like a river of turd.

As someone that suffers from Gene Wilder hair, I appreciate the sweaty forehead in HD.

Now that Doomsday's daughter has been introduced to Gene Wilder, Young Frankenstein is next. |

After Wonka murdered his first victim, you're unphased by the boat ride. I actually thought this scene was hilarious the first time I watched it as a kid. |

Four murders and a kidnapping. What a wonderful family film.

I've heard the story of Grandpa Joe being a villain. What's the reasoning behind that again? Is it just another dumb internet theory? -- He spent 20 years laying in bed, and the moment he hears of free chocolate, he hops out of bed and does a song and dance number. -- He almost gets Charlie killed in the bubble room. -- He encouraged Charlie to give Slugworth the everlasting gumstopper. Guy spent the whole movie gaslighting Charlie. The only true antagonist to our protagonist. Then again, Willy Wonka is a serial killer, so poor Charlie didn't stand a chance either way. |
