Having actually read the book, I think Wilder's portrayal makes a lot more sense. There's a great bit at the end of the book where while they're flying through the air in the glass elevator it shows all the other children. It describes them all as being horribly mangled but Wonka still keeps acting like they're okay.

Carter was woefully miscast. Mrs. Lovett was the dominant personality in the relationship, and Sweeny was under her control. You need a strong voice like Lansbury had to drive that home, not Carter's quiet squeak. Everything else was good.

I have to admit it was super cool to sort of have the backwards revelation of Angela Lansbury in terms of my own cultural exposure from "innocuous and gentle sweetie" to "okay, mom's a witch" to "absolute villain"

Halle Berry won the 2002 Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in Monster's Ball and during her speech she pointed out she was the first black woman to have received this reward. I felt shame over my ignorance mostly because I had no idea she's black..

I was loving around with the Google Assistant and one of the phrases it has a response to is "When does the narwhal bacon?" Which is apparently the Reddit equivalent of "Do you have stairs in your house?" Only even more lolrandom. I hate you so much Reddit. Edit: She does not reply to the stairs question

IMDb posted:To his surprise, Deep Roy played every Oompa-Loompa himself, repeating the same movements several hundred times. While these were then put together digitally, each Oompa-Loompa represents a separate performance by Roy. In recognition of this, Roy's salary was raised to one million dollars.
