- dear charlie -

I love Johnny Depp :) He is so amazing in every role he does. Such an appropriate role for him and he looks great in it!
And after watching Rove tonight, I found little Freddie Highmore so adorably cute too.
Can't wait for the movie!!! Can't wait to have our chocolate party either!

But frankly, all I can remember from the book was the elevators that went sideways, in fact, in any direction, so it'll be hugely nostalgic to let it stir my deeply stashed fantasies.

Charlie Bucket: Mr. Wonka.
Willy Wonka: Huh?
Charlie Bucket: Why would Augustus' name already be in the Oompa Loompa's song unless they...
Willy Wonka: [interrupts] Improvisation is parlor trick, anyone can do it. [turns to Violet]
Willy Wonka: You, little girl. Say something. Anything.
Violet Beauregarde: Chewing gum.
Willy Wonka: Chewing gum is really gross, chewing gum I hate the most. See? Exactly the same.

On a slightly nerdier note, according to our Building Services lecturer Steve King, Otis is currently developing a multi-directional lift system. So the Chocolate Factory can be built afterall! I can't find anything on it at the moment, but Steve said he might, so I'll get back to you guys on that ;)
