    I was watching the above this evening and it occurred to me that to many, God is like a chocolate bar, giving you a sweet sensation when you need it. A few get the golden ticket and find their way in . . . people of different characters, they start off in awe, but then they revert to their old cybicism, meanness, selfishness etc and end up blowing it.
    Only those who remain humble to the miracle worker inherit.

    I love Johnny Depp to pieces but this was one of his worst films for me.

    Gene Wilder is willy and always will be.

    So that Wonka elevator went all the way to heaven, and only young Charlie got to run the magic sweet factory – sorry found salvation I mean.

    At best this is an extremely poor metaphor, at worst it makes less sense than wanting time travel in order to prevent an Elvis defecation.

    (lol – think I’ll log off and listen to my baby niece babbling instead)
