Hello everyone! My name's Scott and I recently signed on to Tribe.net. I just discovered this tribe tonight, joined and wanted to say hello.
This movie has got to be one of the greatest movies ever made. On those occassions when I feel like being a little boy again, I'll pop in the dvd and forget about being an adult for a couple of hours. My favorite part of the movie is, of course, the ending, but another part that cracks me up is the scene on the boat where Mr. Salt asks Wonka "Is this some sort of funhouse?", and Wonka replies "Why, having fun?" Roald Dahl wrote a wonderful story not only for children, but for the child that resides in all of us as well. I am looking forward to the remake coming out in May and think Johnny Depp was the perfect choice to play the role of the eccentric candy man.

I have to say, I love them coming down the stairs into the chocolate room when he keeps scaring them by whacking the cane against the railing! -

Tue, April 5, 2005 - 6:00 PMHello and welcome. Both of those parts are great but my favorites are when they are on the boat and Gene Wilder is singing quiet and crazy and also the first scene into the room that shows off all of the candy land. and Giant Gummy Bears....truely I could name every scene that includes Gene Wilder as my favorite. I watch it as a comfort movie too. :) -

Tue, April 5, 2005 - 6:12 PMHi Scott. My favorite scene is also the boat scene when Gene is singing. Everything Gene does is brilliant. My all time favorite comedy is Young Frankenstein, he's a genious. I can't wait for the new movie. I know Johnny will be great, different, but great.

it'll be cool to see how he channels the candy man

Fri, April 15, 2005 - 11:47 AMI KNOW!!! Johnny Depp is a great actor... I was actually hoping that Christopher Walken would get offered the part but you can't deny the Burton/Depp connection. I'm going to try to get a few people together for the opening here in the bay area... it's going to be great! -

Tue, June 21, 2005 - 8:51 AMChristopher Walken rocks and would have been a great choice for the movie, but a Tim Burton movie like this just would not be complete without Johnny Depp.
