War of the Worlds, Chocolate Factory Trailers
rocketjam writes "The trailer for Tim Burton's version of 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' is online at Yahoo. The movie stars Johnny Depp and scheduled for release in July of '05. I think Tim Burton is the perfect director for a new Willie Wonka movie. The trailer looks very Burtonesque." And reader daquake writes "Our first peek at Steven Spielberg's contemporary version of War of the Worlds is available from Apple. Spielberg's installment is just one of many that have been developed throughout the years including a film produced last year n England."
Wow, that's one scary Willy Wonka. I can almost see him saying:
"Hello, Charlie.."

Trolls lurk everywhere. Mod them down.
For the original Willy Wonka movie, there were lots of midgets imported into the Hollywood area to play the Oompa Loompa characters. Once filming was complete, there was nothing for all of those midgets to do. As one would expect, they turned to a life of petty crime. The Hollywood police department is worried about the same thing happening again.
Yeah, but have you ever watched it...on weed?
I also reply below your current threshold.
Are the aliens going to be led by Xenu?

Does anyone else look at Depp and think, "Oh God, that's Michael Jackson!"
Brings an extra level of creepiness, donchathink?
Actually I am a lab rat in an elaborate plot to take over the world.
While we are at it might as well remake casablanca.
And teen wolf.
SSsssshhh! You're going to give them ideas!
Movie Exec: I bet Keanu Reeves would be great for Rick's part!
Keanu: You'll, like regret it - maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but you'll be all like 'Whoa!'
noooooooooooooooo!
"What do you think?" "I think 'What, do you think?!'"
While we are at it might as well remake casablanca.
How can you remake Casablanca? The one starring Myra Dinglebat and Peter Beardsley was definitive!
"Of all the space bars on all the worlds you had to re-materialise in mine."
Oh, say does that Star-Spangled Banner entwine / The myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's vine?
Grunka Lunka dunkity darmed-guards ...
"You're arguing for a universe with fewer waffles in it," I said. "I'm prepared to call that cowardice."
Confusing 2001 with 2010 is probably a sin on slashdot...
Sounds like what we really need is a War of the Worlds Musical!
Is this the real life
,nothing really matters to me
Is this just fantasy
A.D. 2101, War was beginning
Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see
Martians, yeilding no sympathy
Because I'm easy come,easy go,
Fly Zig high, fly Zig low,
Anyway the Zig goes,doesn't really matter to me, to me
Mama, just watched TV,
Ignored what prophets said,
Now martians coming and we're dead,
Mama, life had just begun,
But now we've gone and thrown it all away
Mama ooo, didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on,carry on,as if nothing really matters
Too late, we're on our way,
To destruction, Cats say,
Told to make our time today,
Goodbye everybody, I got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and move a Zig
Mama ooo- (any way the wind blow)
I don't know how to fly,
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
I see a little silhouetto of a man
Is the curate!, Is the curate, dragged by a tentacle
Laserbolt and heatrays very very frightening me
All your base, All your base
All your base, All your base
All your base are belong to us!
But I just a poor boy and nobody loves me
He just a poor boy from a poor planetoid
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come easy go, will you let me go
Take off every Zig! For great justice!
Take off every Zig! For great justice!
Take off every Zig! For great justice!
For great justice! For great justice!
Move, move, move move, move, move Zig!
Mama mia,mama mia,mama mia let me move
Someone set up us the bomb!
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh baby, I know what I doing baby!
Just gotta get out-just gotta move Zig right outta here
Nothing really matters, anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Any way the Zig goes....
A feeling of having made the same mistake before: Deja Foobar
The alien hand on the War of the Worlds poster has its middle finger on top of Texas.
....we American don't need geography, we just need missile coordinates.
It's a good thing the globe is rotated to show America - otherwise most of us American wouldn't recognize the planet that the alien is grasping.
Just kidding....
Moneyed corporations, non-working 'poor' and criminal prisoners are turning productive citizens into tax-slaves.
Also, doesn't Willy Wonka like "little people" a little too much ? I mean the little Oompa's everywhere, dressing up. Then he lures kids into his "big playground" , alla Michael Jackson, for some overnight "fun". "Want some candy little boy?" I mean c'mon, this guy is sick!
"I believe today that my conduct is in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator"-Adolf Hitler or George W Bush?
See, nobody cares.
I like to place meaningful quotes in my sig, so people will know that I know what meaningful quotes are.
No, you are just really, really, easily amused.
Tom Cruise isn't technically a midget.
