Books N Movies Rants

Started as a blog of a father trying to create the perfect list of books and movies that his son should read and watch. Now it is that and some general rants. Scroll down for the lists. If you have a list of 10 books and 10 movies please send it to me.

Further proof that Tim Burton is a talent less hack who should be put down

Since no one seems to read this blogg I have decided to turn it into a general rant about stuff that pisses me off. This in turn means that I will be posting a lot of stuff about how much I dislike Tim Burton.

So when he said he was doing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory he said he wanted it to be the darker story that Dahl had written. OK, I disagree but if he wanted to do a straight version on the book, fine. We all knew it would be crap, but okay at least he was not going to make bullshit up like he did with Planet of the Apes.

Now the little bitch has decided that he needs to add material to the book.

He is giving Willy Wonka a dad.

An evil dad.

An evil dad who is a dentist.

An evil dad who is a dentist played by Christopher Lee.


This is going to suck on a whole new level of sucking.

All the whores in Thailand do not suck this much.

Speaking of Thai whores at least Lee will do a decent job with the material. It's not like they got Mike Keaton to do it.

Charlie's Wonka Gets A Backstory

Tim Burton, director of the upcoming Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, told SCI FI Wire that he has given Willy Wonka (Johnny Depp) a new backstory that involves a troubled relationship with his father—a familiar theme in Burton's movies. "Yeah, I've got some problems, you know?" Burton said in a news conference in Nassau, Bahamas, last weekend. "You've seen me enough to realize that by now, haven't you?" In Charlie, a new movie version of Roald Dahl's classic children's book, Wonka flashes back frequently to his childhood with his stern father, a dentist played by Christopher Lee. Burton (Big Fish) said that he had his own issues with both parents when he grew up in suburban Burbank, Calif. "You try to work out your issues, but then you realize those kinds of traumatic issues just stay with you forever," Burton said. "Somehow they just keep reoccurring. No matter how hard I try to get them out of my head, they sort of stay there." Wonka's backstory doesn't appear in Dahl's book, but Burton said that he felt it was needed for the movie. "We sort of felt that if you have an eccentric character—and it's fine; it works in the book—we just felt in the movie, you've got a guy that's acting that strange, you kind of want to get a flavor of why he is the way he is," Burton said. "Otherwise he's just a weirdo. And you want to at least have a sense as to why he's acting so strangely and why he's got some problems. If ... your father were a dentist and Christopher Lee, you can see where that might cause you some traumatic experiences in your life." Charlie and the Chocolate Factory opens July 15.
