I vote for Heather Graham. The new Willie has go to be white so they don’t get lost in the chocolate.

I bet they cast Kate McKinnon, as she could pull off the unhinged, goofy, eccenetric type of character. But I think it will still tank in the box office.

You’d think the studios would realize making movies that no one is asking for isn’t the best business decision.

Nooo! I’m still furious about a female “doctor who”. If they wanted a show about a time lady, they should have made a spin off series!

They had one. River Song, and the actress and character were great, and probably could have been spun into a better series than the other spin off they did with the fag character, Torchwood I think was the name. There was no reason to destroy the Who franchise with angry fem wokeness.

Dearest Hollywood, why are rebooting classic films? Are ideas for new movies not allowed anymore? What’s next, a Muslim Miss Piggy in a reboot of The Muppet Movie? Or will it be a gay Beaver Cleaver in a reboot of Leave It To Beaver?

All nice. The titties on Heather and Jessica sorta remind me of Hershey’s kisses. Very appropriate.

And he would be the appropriate color for a movie on chocolate.

So they took Wonka from really good with Wilder to kind of OK with Depp and now they’re shooting for what, totally mediocre social justice crap?

Johnny Depp has one character, and one character only.

Don’t matter to me. There’s only one version that will matter. Nothing wrong with it.
