re: #393 Pawn of the Oppressor

“Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” is re-running on some cable channel right now. It’s amazing to re-watch this movie as an adult, catching all the things I missed as a kid. Gene Wilder quoting Arthur O’Shaugnessy, for example…

But I find that I’m really watching it to see all the bratty kids get what’s coming to them. Funny that…

I’m not ashamed to say that, as a soon-to-be-38-year-old man, I love Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

There’s so many in-jokes for adults; it’s a lot like The Simpsons in their prime.

/candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker
