Jesus can we ever get anything new? Charlie and the Chocolate Factory already got a fucking reboot two decades ago. We don't need a third one

I'm hoping for a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie universe, purely for the inevitable, gritty spin-off, OOMPA

"Call me Oompa Loompa one more time, motherfucker, I DARE YOU..."

This is a prequel so it's a new side of the story. My bigger problem with this is that it just looks really bad. The performance falls really flat and feels desperate to invoke whimsy, but it's failing badly at it.

Good lord has it been that long?

Almost. It was 2005. And it was a good movie too, imo. Doesn't need fixing like the original did.

Woah Woah Woah. The original was a masterpiece. When you skip the cheer up charlie song.

I found charlie and the chocolate factory OK.
