Proof that NYC children are more horrible than golden ticket winners in Willy Wonka's Chocolate factory
Chocolate River Before (1971)
Chocolate River After (2005)
So we really never had any intention of seeing the newest Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, although from production stills it appears that the 2005 chocolate river is creamier and richer than the earlier version. But we're content to live with the 1971 chocolate waterfalls and streams. This posting from Gothamist confirmed why we will wait until video. [From Gothamist]:
We saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (the Oompas Loompas rule), and to our surprise, more disturbing than Johnny Depp's characterization of Willy Wonka was the behavior of some of our fellow moviegoers. During the afternoon showing full of adults and children alike, a young girl start to bawl during the movie. Not fun for the rest of us, but it happens. Except usually parents will usher a child out of the theater if the crying is excessive. But these parents let her cry for at least 10 minutes, before other moviegoers of the aggro kind started to scream, "GET HER OUT!" repeatedly. So the bawling girl's father takes her down to the middle of the theater...but doesn't take her out, letting her cry there longer. That's when an angry patron trying to get his $10.50 worth stood up and got in the father's face.
