This is the part were that young but very fat German boy gets stuck in the chocolate pipe because he is to greedy and goes to drink out of the chocolate river, but falls in, and as another twist he can't swim (most likely because he is too heavy)

This movie could not be produced today, fat shaming and all, but the scene where Veruca gets her Golden Ticket, is Jill Biden.

That movie was about child abuse and child labour. 4 adults laying around in filth, all day while the bucket kid has to support them with a paper route.

Then when the kid gets a ticket, all of a sudden Ed Brown can walk again.

You have never seen the movie, yes Charlie had a paper route, but his mother worked at a laundry shop to help support Charlie's grandparents.

For the movie they had to change the Oompa Loompas from what they were portrayed as in the book

[irishjuggler]

The grandparents were indeed lazy bums. The author Roald Dahl had a wicked, irreverent sense of humor. Always got a chuckle out of the Alfred Hithcock Presents episode Dahl wrote in which Barbara Bel Geddes’ character murders her husband by bludgeoning him with a leg of lamb... and then serves said leg of lamb to the cops investigating his murder.

Yeah I know, read the book as a lid, the original Omopa Loompahs were pygmies from the jungles in Affrica.

GERMAN BROADCASTER: Proud we are, for the attention of the entire world focuses today right here in Duselheim, a community suddenly thrust into prominence by the unexpected discovery of the first Wonka Golden Ticket. Its lucky finder is the son of our most prominent parve butcher. The boy's name? Augustus Gloop. Augustus Gloop, the pride of Duselheim, the fame of Western Germany, an example for the whole world. Augustus, how does it make you feel to be the first Golden Ticket finder?

AUGUSTUS: Hungry.

GERMAN BROADCASTER: Any other feelings?

AUGUSTUS: Feel sorry for Wonka. It's gonna cost him a fortune in fudge...

I’ve seen the movie many times. Also, Ed Brown convinced Bucket to drink that floating liquid which almost killed them and almost lost him the factory.

If Bucket didn’t pull that rock candy out his pocket he’d be working in a Welsh coalmine and that old coot would be back in bed.

All those kids were murdered too. Wonka just told you they’d be fine as he had his mini Charlie Crist’s do his wetwork mopup.

I liked the scene where the Gloop kid’s old man eats the mic.

[HYPOCRACY]

I’ll look for that episode. Thanks. I think he wrote this book to have it made a dystopian Dickension nightmare. Which the movie was.

Correct.

But notice something: Grandpa Joe and the other two old timers stay in bed all day, bitching and moaning, yet the instant Charlie comes home with a Golden Ticket, he pops out of bed like Jesus laid hands on him and within five minutes is dancing around and singing, knowing he's going to be in the money. Then he starts saying crap like "we won!" when Charlie, not he, won.

I'll bet that Grandpa Joe was a grifting politician, dindu or "elite" in his past life. Effing scumbag, living off the fruits of his grandson and daughter who had been busting their asses to support him. Lol!

I read it a few years before the movie came out. I remember when I went to the movies and the oompa loompas first came on the screen.I said 'what are those.they weren't orange in the book !!

”Augustus Gloop”

I always thought it was “Augustus Gloot” like for “gluttony.”

I’ve seen Jack Albertson on Tattletales. He and his wife were far lefties. One question is, “Other than your husband, who is the most important man in your life?” He says she’ll say Jerry Brown. She doesn’t, but agrees it would have been a great choice. 🙄

[Kommodor]

Gene Wilder made that movie. The image of erratic brilliance, with just a hint of delicious malevolence.

Good times :)

I watched that movie several times as a kid. It was initially a dud at the box office if I recall but got revived as a Saturday matinee double-feature, usually paired with some other children's movie like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Pippi Longstocking, or Love Bug.

I too was put off by the "Grandpa Joe" character - he was definitely a grifter and a lazy bum!

Gene Wilder was brilliant and really made that movie the cult classic it would later become.

I joke with my wife that childhood photos of her have an eerie resemblance to Veruca Salt. Even today, she can get a bit bossy.
