Lesley Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 After seeing Johnny Depp in the preview for the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - you can all keep him! You can't improve perfection (the original film) and he looks so sinister. I'll stick to .......M.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Frugal Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Hmmm, I think it's the hairdo, the glasses and the very strange fake teeth. Made me think twice too....... ..... for a micro second! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popcorn Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 You can't improve perfection (the original film) which, incidently, is on the TV on July 24th (ish) I'll be getting LSH to set video for it, as I absoloutly LOVE Gene Wilder. (See No Evil, Hear No Evil - anyone seen it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Yes I'm a great fan too! If you like Hear No Evil then you'll also love Stir Crazy (an earlier film with Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor) and Woman in Red with Wilder and Kelly Le Brock but also starring Wilder's real life wife whose name escapes me at the moment - Gelda Something I think. I've got Willy Wonka and Stir Crazy on DVD and both are great if your home feeling poorly and need cheering up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Oh, will have to keep an eye for out for those Red. Think I've seen Stir Crazy. Talking of being cheered up - has anyone listened to the 'B' side of Peter Kaye's 'Is This the Way to Amirillo' It' called 'The Laughing Song' and it really is worth a listen. I defy anyone not to be laughing by the end of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popcorn Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Red - I doubt I would have noticed if it bit me on the bum , but we all knew what you meant , which is all that matters. My spelling/grammar is awful.....(is it grammar or grammer ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I absoloutly LOVE Gene Wilder. Did someone do a spell check for me! I'm sure I put Jean instead of Gene!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Actually that's something I'm not too bad at - we play a game when we go out where you get a prize if you spot a sign with a misused possessive apostrophe Hopefully I'll have something better to do now that I have chickens!

Lesley Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I absoloutly LOVE Gene Wilder. Did someone do a spell check for me! I'm sure I put Jean instead of Gene!! It was me! - I crept in and changed it for you to save your embarrassment and it is grammar ...and I've just had to check embarrassment for the correct number of 'm's and 'r''s and 's's before Kate comes along to correct me!

Ever since my hubby read 'Eats, Shoots and Leaves' every sign, shop front, carrier bag etc, has to be checked for missing or misused apostophes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Frugal Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I'm paranoid about apostrophes and don't use them unless I'm absolutely sure where they should be. My Mum is really hot on where the rightful place is and has the Eats, Shoots and Leaves book which she did pass onto me but which I never had time to read - far too scary! So pleas'e excus'e all my flying apo'strophe's in the wrong plac'e . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 It's quite simple really Kate. The apostophe replaces the word 'is'. Kate's feeling poorly. It also tells us that something belongs to somebody. Kate's big knickers. If you didn't have the apostophe there, it would mean there were a group of kates, all with big knickers. Infact the apostophe would appear at the end of Kates' to indicate a group. A bit like, the students' were all wearing Kate's big knickers.
