Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka
Sunday, July 24th, 2005Wow, great movie. I wasn’t so sure about taking the kids out to see the New and Improved Willy Wonka because I wasn’t a real big fan of the original Gene Wilder vehicle. Why? Because I think it’s just a bit creepy with the dude running around meeting children in the dark of night. And I really greatly dislike the tunnel scene from the original. The new Burton/Depp version is much more fun for children, IMHO. Of course, Jayson thought that Depp’s Wonka acted an awful lot like Jacko. Seems he’s not the only one.
So, other than a movie, we also picked up some games. I grabbed The Urbz because I enjoyed the Gameboy version and hoped it would be different from the PC Sims. And it is! It’s very enjoyable. Unique and not so staid. It’s reminds me more of a RPG hybrid than a Sims game.
