Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was a big favorite book of mine as a kid, so I’m not sure why I never saw the movie. The title of the film was changed to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory because the film was intended as an ad for a candy company. If you watch the credits, you’ll see that the copyright is owned by Quaker Oats, which was working on a new line of candy bars and searching for the right vehicle to promote them. [They later sold the company to Nestle, and they manufacture several candies inspired by the movie, including my personal favorite Everlasting Gobstoppers.] Roald Dahl, who wrote Charlie, distanced himself from the movie because he didn’t like the way that the movie focused too much on Willy and not enough on Charlie. While the movie was a lot of fun – Gene Wilder was awesome, the crazy candy factory machines and gizmos were zany, and my girl Veruca Salt managed to rock some killer styles while being a heinous beast – it lacked some of the original magic of the book. Charlie was reduced to being the perfect cliche of a noble child, without as much of his background. I did appreciate the quick pace, as each of the four other kids was eliminated in speedy fashion. As a kid, I remember the Charlie story being about the magic and promise of childhood. But as an adult, the movie was just a giant advertisement about how not to raise kids. There was also one problem that made me outrageously biased during the viewing of this movie. About two years ago, at a birthday party, I met a person who, when I made the mistake of asking “So what do you do?” went on a fifteen-minute tirade listing every single job he or she had ever had, with a brief mention of “child actor.” The person, after some prodding, admitted that they had been one of the children in Willy Wonka, and was really annoyed that I’d never seen the movie. This person had just made me sit through a reading of his or her resume and concluded with “But really … I tell stories.” And every time this person’s face appeared on screen in Willy Wonka, that boring and interminable conversation started playing on repeat in my head, thus detracting from my enjoyment of the movie. But we bring our own biases, and I was aware of mine. Otherwise, the movie kicked ass. So, take that, Mr. or Ms. “I tell stories.” Related posts: Post from: Crushable Virgin Viewing: ‘The Great Muppet Caper’ and ‘Willy Wonka’ |
| Super Extra Jesse Heiman Is in ‘Transformers: Dark of the Moon’ Posted: 05 Jul 2011 09:49 AM PDT
Last week I wrote about five unexpected cameos in the new Transformers movie, but I saved the best one for when I had proof to back it up. Do you remember Jesse Heiman, Hollywood’s go-to extra for background shots and bit parts in projects like Glee, Arrested Development, Old School, and The Social Network? Imagine my delight when, watching Shia LaBeouf‘s terrifying job interview with John Malkovich, I noticed Jesse walk by! This was the best shot I could get off an online stream of the movie, but the details are there: The red hair, the round face, the way he glances at the camera as if daring you to recognize him. What I also learned from this search was that Jesse has a Twitter, and I wasn’t the first person to locate him:

| 4 More Reasons Vinny Guadagnino Might Have Quit ‘Jersey Shore’ Posted: 05 Jul 2011 09:20 AM PDT
He and Snooki ended whatever friends with benefits thing they had going on. Last season, the weird will-they-or-won’t-they dynamic between Vinny and Snooki was a major storyline – they hooked up and Vinny claimed it was just a one time thing but each got jealous when the other slept with someone else. If Snooki’s still with sometime boyfriend Jionni LaValle, she might have sent Vin packing for good, and we all know how badly he handles bruised egos. Ronnie and Sammi drove him to insanity. Considering how horrible those two are to watch on TV, I can only imagine how heinous they are to have to live with. If they pulled their “us in a triple room with one poor soul as a roommate” shit again and Vinny wound up living with them, I can easily see how he might have lost it. He found out he was making less than the other cast members. Vinny hasn’t broken out as a star the way that some of the other cast members have – unlike JWoww, he doesn’t have a book deal, and unlike The Situation he doesn’t have any endorsement deals. Add that to the fact that Pauly D is getting his own spinoff, and maybe the jealousy/resentment came to a head. If he got tired of making less money or realized that he was being screwed financially, he might have decided it wasn’t worth putting up with the show anymore. He missed his mom. Vinny’s mamasboyness has not been a secret on Jersey Shore. His mom, Paula, has appeared on the show to cook and clean up, and he refers to her as “a saint.” Maybe the wall-to-wall filming schedule just made him homesick, or if something happened back home and he had to choose between his family or the show, he chose family. Considering how filthy the shore house always is, I wouldn’t be surprised if he just wanted his mom to take care of him.

| If You Stay on Nyan Cat Long Enough, You Unlock Karaoke Mode Posted: 05 Jul 2011 08:59 AM PDT
Redditor BlueMaxima shared this Nyan Cat Easter egg with the board a few days ago: Assault your eardrums with endless Nyan Cat, and you will be rewarded with a karaoke mode. According to his tally, it takes almost 3,000 seconds, which is close to 50 minutes. It’s just as well; it took me about that long to get the melody down. The exact time to trigger karaoke seems to vary from user to user; I went past 3,000 seconds and never saw the button that apparently appears on the righthand side of the screen. If you don’t want to try your luck there, then play around with the “Lower Volume” button — but only if you have a high tolerance for bright colors and high pitch. Here’s a video of what it looks like. It looks as if the words fill in themselves like a standard karaoke machine.

1. Andrea’s 27. He studied at McGill University in Canada and then at the New School in New York, where he received a degree in international affairs. Sounds steamy. 2. He’s widely recognized as a hot royal. He was on a Forbes list of young royals and was even one of People’s 50 most beautiful in 1999. 3. He’s involved with charity organizations, funding a cerebral palsy research group. He also spent eight months teaching children in Senegal, Togo, and Niger. 4. He’s totally in line to maybe become a prince! If Prince Albert doesn’t father any sons then the job is Andrea’s for the taking. 5. Sorry, guys, he’s taken. Andrea has been dating the South American socialite Tatiana Santo Domingo since 2005. Lame. Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| Video: The ‘Challenge’ House Gets Invaded By a Monkey Posted: 05 Jul 2011 08:12 AM PDT I feel like most of the contestants on The Challenge behave kind of like horny monkeys, but then an actual monkey showed up in the Challenge house in Costa Rica and proved me wrong. This monkey (who kind of reminds me of Marcel from the first season of Friends) does wacky things like eat a peach and poop on Laurel, thus making it my new favorite cast member. Seriously, can we get rid of Evan and replace him with the monkey? Tags: The Challenge: Rivals, MTV Shows Related posts: Post from: Crushable Video: The ‘Challenge’ House Gets Invaded By a Monkey |
Over the weekend, it was announced that Chord Overstreet will not be returning to 
The Fourth of July is all about barbecues, the beach, and fireworks. But since I burn easily and am a picky eater, my favorite way to spend the holiday weekend is burrowed inside with my air-conditioner and some DVDs. And it seemed like a perfect time for two iconic kids’ movies that I somehow made it this far without seeing.
Although 
Over the weekend, TMZ reported that Vinny Guadagnino was spotted 
If you watched the royal wedding between Prince Albert and Princess Charlene the other day, then you saw Andrea Casiraghi, the dashing royal who also happens to be heir to an Italian oil fortune. Some people have all the luck.
