Tony and the Chocolate Factory

Gary and I went to see "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" this weekend. Although different from the original Willy Wonka movie, I thought it was pretty good.

One thing I found weird about the movie is that Charlie Bucket looked a lot like Tony Blair to me. Gary didn't think so until I showed him these two photos:

Tony Blair is better looking. I don't know enough about Charlie's politics to compare them with Blair's, but anyone who thinks he can solve problems by throwing chocolate at them is a liberal in my book.

We took our girls to see the movie yesterday. Quite a few of them fell asleep! I like the first movie better than this one--the humour in this seems a bit too dark for younger kids, but held a definite appeal for my students (disturbed teenage girls)! The squirrels got a standing ovation!

All in all, though--it was entertaining. As for Mr. Blair and his war-mongering cohorts--let the squirrels deal with them!

Hang in there Jen--
Love, Mom
