Really random poll.

They were playing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory last night - the 2005 version. The more I watch this version, the more I like it a whole lot better than the original. I even like the songs better in the new version. Also Johnny Depp re-imagined the character successfully - not mimicking Gene Wilder.

Not sure why I have this on the brain.

Add me to the group who prefer the newer version because it's closer to the book. And I usually hate Tim Burton's stuff, but they really couldn't have chosen a better director to interpret Dahl. I just wish they'd done Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator too. :-(

Now if they'd only do the same kind of back-to-the-book reinterpretation with The Wizard of Oz...

(Sacrilege, I know, but as much as I love the classic film I really *do* feel that way.)

That's one book I've never read. I'm not quite sure why.
