...until someone gets their hands on the BFG and makes a terrible CGI movie out of it.

So without giving away anything of substance, I saw Willy Wonka last night and was surprised and pleased at how it was both deferential to the material and unique in its own right. There were a few things I thought were better in the original, and a few I thought better in the remake, so all-in-all it was a good experience.

Also it reminded me that I need to pick up Cry Baby, which has finally been made on DVD.
And possibly Young Frankenstein.

At the theatre, there was a poster for the Transporter 2. I've been quite resistant to the idea of a higher power, but this was the kind of proof I needed to accept one.
