Down and safe
Jul. 31st, 2005 08:31 amArrived safely. Pity my laptop appears to be sufficiently sick that a format c: looks easier than trying to sort out its problems one by one... Fortunately I can use the resident computers for the moment.
If you have not yet seen Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, you should do so. It has *not* been sanitised, sweetened, or Disneyfied. It has some backstory added for Wonka which required an in my view unnecessary change in how the ending is played out, but is otherwise the film of the book, complete with Dahl's venom. It is as deliciously malicious as one would expect from Tim Burton, exquisitely filmed, and very, very funny. For those who remember Deep Roy from 1970s BBC sf, he's looking quite well preserved, and makes a marvellous Oompa Loompa.
