Miscellaneous Movie Musings

[BarTopDancer]

Last night I watched Fever Pitch. Good movie. I love Drew Barrymore and JImmy Fallon.

I watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory tonight. First time I saw the re-make. I saw the original for the first time a few months ago. I like the re-make, I love Johnny in it. He is so talented. I didn't see an inkling of Jack Sparrow (CAPTIAN) though I'm thinking CatCF was made first. The first thing I though of though, with the dolls was IASW.

Oh ya, I forgot to ask, were the endings different? I don't recall the scene where Charlie ripped into Willy Wonka in the remake or the dental scene in the original.

Yes. Wonka's "character arc" wasn't in either the original book nor the first movie version. The story is called CHARLIE and the Chocolate Factory, not Willy Wonka and His Horrible Childhood. Wonka's father and all that was completely added.
