hiddenmuseLast night, I went to see Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory with Kellie and friends at a very cool theater in Oakland, Parkway Theater.
Before the movie started, we got to settle into Ikea couches with pizza and drinks, and big-ass bowls of fresh-popped popcorn with butter and salt, Bjork playing in the background - it has to be the best way to see a movie.
And the movie? Well, I'd always seen Willy Wonka on TV, never on the big screen, so this was especially cool for me. I've loved that film since I was a kid, still love it to this day - and some scenes just cracked me up more than others:
* When Mike TeeVee is interviewed as the latest ticket winner, he shoots his cap gun, then complains about not being able to have a real one. Dad's reply? "Not until you're 12, Mike."
* When Veruca Salt was in her dad's office, pushing him to get the ladies to work faster at opening the Wonka bar wrappers, she called one lady a twat.

(Yo, newsflash, Captain Delusional ... Roald Dahl *hated* the film - and didn't write the screenplay. Also - are you up for exhuming remains or something?)
