well, I dunno if my opinion counts much, as I haven't seen the first one since i
was five . but from what my mom told me about it, I can try to make a good
opinion.
I would say that both versions have their own ups and downs to them, but overall
I'd have to say that the new version's better. Though I might be a bit biased
because i LOVE tim burton and johnny depp, but I'm not one to love something
right away just because of something like that. so who knows .
anyway, johnny depp did an excellent job of pulling of mr. wonka. He was weird,
funny, odd, and even had that sadistic side to him. I think he pulled off the
weird/funny side the best, I was cracking up the entire movie . As for
tim burton's job with the movie... one really big down would be the oompa
loompas. They didn't look as funny, plus they did a bunch of retarded songs. he
definitely could've done a WAY better job with that. But one thing I really
liked that wasn't in the old movie (supposively, I was getting all of the old
movie info on my mom, who couldn't remember a lot of it ) was
the whole 'family' issue at the end. It made the ending (and the entire movie
altogether) more sweet and likeable. And I'd just classify it as one of those
movies that just cheer you up ^.^
so yes, thumbs up to the new version. I'll have to go rent the old one sometime
soon.
ahhh my old's retiement party was on satruday night AND MY DAD wouldn't letme GO
anywhere. dfjhdlah i was extremely angerfied with him. I tried calling to let
you know, but no one would pick up. I guess you guys had left already.

you should definitely give it a try, never give up on people. I'm not saying to
go forthward completely optimistic, but at least give him a chance. you always
have to try your hardest to find the god qualities in people, no matter how hard
they might be to see.
if anyone's seen the new movie version of phanotm of the opera, I have a literal
addiction to gerard butler's (guy who played the phantom) voice. if i go a
certain period of time without listening to his voice, I seriously go crazy
I don't wanna spoil anyone, so i'll just say that i thought it was one, but I
found it it was the other . I was
happy, but I prefer the pairing of tohru/hat boy, rather than what's most likely
to come. *sigh*
oh, i've been down this road once before. and not only were we friends, we were
also of the same gender (O__o). so yeah, I know exactly what it's like.
personally, I took another one of my friend's advice. they told me to think
about the person you have feelings for, and if you're friends with them as you
say you are, you can pretty much predict how they'd take it. hopefully, they'll
undersand, maybe even feel the same way. I was able to tell my friend, because I
knew she'd understand, and wouldn't stop being my friend. and another thing that
helped me was a quote from one of my favorite animes:
"tell the person of your feelings, and if it was meant to be, then he or
she will respond when they're emotionally ready."
