how was Depp going to play Wonka? No matter what one thinks of the 1971 film, Wilder played the candy man with an avuncular weirdness and a real warmth. Depp, never one to imitate, had to take a different path. First, he and Burton chose to give Wonka a backstory, making him the son of a dentist, who—because he never got to eat sweets—became estranged from his father and obsessed with candy. Over the years, Wonka has become not just reclusive, but almost autistic in his inability to connect with others. "He's not a father figure—he's a mess," Burton says. "There are lots of people who are geniuses in one area, but have complete deficiencies in other areas of their lives."

Moving along, anyone ever seen Boys Don't Cry? I've been meaning ot see it for a while and it was on Bravo last night so myself and the lady watched it.
I enjoyed it but not as much as I had though. HIlary Swank did give a good performance but I thought Peter Sarsgaard (Garden State, Kinsey) did a marverlous job as well.
