'Cheer Up Charlie' is where Charlie comes to see his mom at her work doing laundry.


I know what part you are talking about, but I honestly can't remember how it sounds. Which is maddening considering I constantly have music going through my head.

The first verse of Cheer Up Charlie: (from memory...not copy/paste)

You get blue, like everyone...but me and Grandpa Joe,
Can make your troubles go away...blow away...there they go,
Cheer up Charlie, give me a smile, what happened to that smile I used to know.
Don't you know your grin has always been my sunshine...let that sunshine show...

Our local paper had an article on the new movie with large color photos...the movie sounded strange. If I'd never seen the old Willy Wonka, and had never fallen hopelessly in love with Gene Wilder, then I prolly would go see it. It's most likely going to be like every other new movie that comes out: Lots of sassy characters, crude humor and all that junk. I'm not going to see it. I'll put it on hold when our library orders a copy.

The new movie isn't quite a re-make of the old one. They're just making a movie based on the book as though there hasn't been any other one made. I read somewhere that the only songs that will be in it will be Oompa Loompa songs (and I imagine that they will not be the same ones from the old movie)

oh, joy. I have those running through my brain enough as it is. Not more "Oompa loompa doopadee doo" songs!

Sad

I can't wait to see the "new and improved" oompa loompas... they are so funny!! I don't really know how i feel about Johnny Depp playing Willy Wonka. It's just so weird........

I won't go see it. I have only been the the movies 3 times anyway. Very low percentage of me seeing it. I think I have seen the old one. We might have actually had it awhile ago. I don't think I would really be into the kind of movie anyway. Silly.......

I actually saw the beginning of the old movie a little while ago. It was better than I remembered. Wonka is good for the most part, but I don't like his some of his random quotes or the nightmare down the river scene.

I liked the old Wonka.. I don't really know about the new one... Johny Depp plays Willy Wonka.. I just can't imagin him playing that character... I'm used to him playing a pirate in POTC, not Will Wonks! But that's just my opinion...
