i think there is some weird demo cult that bases their "practice" upon the old film.

If I read the book will I then love it? Only thing I thought was okay was the ending.

so did you miss the oompa loompas being cannibal pygmies or not? it would be so great if someone had the guts to make the movie as twisted as dahl's story.
