1. Grandpa Joe is the laziest a-hole faker alive. When there's work and real life going on, he's laid up in bed with a million other old people, feeble and unable to contribute. Literally, these old people are bed ridden for YEARS. Wah wah wah. Poor Charlie's Mom has to do it all. But when there's a golden ticket, Grandpa Joe makes a miraculous recovery, singing and dancing and moving around QUITE well. Lazy faker. Get a job or sweep a floor or cook some gruel or something. via 2. Charlie is a weinerwhistle. This kid...his face is constantly on the verge of crying or whining or moping. He's also a dick, choosing Grandpa Joe the faker to escort him to the Wonka Factory instead of his long-suffering, hard working mother. via 3. The Fizzy Lifting Drinks situation. That a-hole Grandpa Joe instigated this, first of all. Secondly, I am a rule follower and I really thought Charlie was too. 4 It's terrifying. It's a kid movie and here you have to listen to a slave army of small orange robot-like things called Oompah Loompahs poorly singing judgmental doomsday prophesies, you are approached by menacing strangers (Slugworth) acting as an undercover agent for a tyrannical boss (Wonka) who is off his g.d. rocker, and there is quite possibly death by candy at every turn in the factory. 5. Did I mention the title character is totally insane? He is a creepy old tantrum thrower to boot. NO THANKS WONKA, you psycho. Take your golden ticket and sit on it. I do really like these lines though even though he's red faced and letting spittle fly when he says them: You get nothing! You lose! Good day sir. via What I do like is all the condescending Wonka memes on the internets. I also love Veruca Salt as she is my spirit animal. We both want it now. Have a happy and safe Halloween weekend, you must. From Darth Vader (Gus, a total match to his personality), Yoda (Geege), and a real pissed off Princess Leia. For the first time ever, Gus did not freak out over a costume. I think he felt a kinship to Darth Vader, just like I do. He's our alter ego.

In this exclusive extract from prize-winning journalist Lucy Mangan’s book, Inside Charlie’s Chocolate Factory, we find out how Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory became a film and how the cast were found.
Charlie Bucket is the protagonist of the children's book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory written by Roald Dahl. Peter Ostrum played Charlie in the 1971 movie adaptation, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Although he comes from poor family, young Charlie is thoughtful and polite. He cares deep
WILLY WONKA is not only proud and sweet because of its highlighted songs. It's known for its good nature and well-written story.
With a month to go until Sam Mendes’ musical opens, see the costumes for the first time
Last Tuesday I flew to Utah to be there for Clark & Jessica's law school graduation and to help Cali the few days before her show opened. She was doing Willy Wonka Jr. I arrived in time to take pictures at her dress rehearsal and help her run last minute errands. It is so fun to see her in action with her students. It is very evident that they totally adore her! I was affectionately called Mama Wilkes. When Jim arrived later in the week the students called him Papa Wilkes Cali is not only the director but also the head choreographer, music director, set designer and costumer designer! The set turned out amazing! She was lucky to be able to borrow a lot of the costumes from Westview. The cast did an awesome job!! Charlie was absolutely darling!! Totally love the oompa loompas! Such a fun show and so glad we got to be there for it. The whole family was able to see the show on Saturday night.
