• Make a wish

  I do indeed love Gene Wilder.  The first movie I actually saw him in was Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.  Lately, I've overcome my apprehension to see the Johnny Depp version and can say without a doubt that they are NOT comparable.  They're just two radically different movies.  You can compare the kids, to be sure, but you can't compare Depp and Wilder, in my opinion.  Both are great, and anything to the contrary will get you...judged harshly?  I really thought I had something there, but I was wrong.  Anyway...this is probably the song I think of when someone says, "Willy Wonka."  Also, I'm posting the video of the boat ride, because to this day it's probably the scariest thing on earth.  I literally cannot open my eyes during it.
