Watching the 20005 Johnny Depp version of Charlie and the chocolate factory and still thinking of the 1971 version with Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka.
I like both of them but there are so many differences to both. First off, there are more songs in the 1971 version than there are in the 2005 version and I think I'm ok with that. Mostly the oompa loompas do the singing, and the songs are more based on the book than the 1971 version of the songs the oompa loomps are singing.
Plus, with more songs in the 1971 version, some are good some aren't. "Cheer up Charlie" and the "Candy man can" were the only songs I actuallly liked in that version
Johnny Depp as Wonka however, hit and miss in my opion, but at least we didn't get Marylin Manson. He did a good job but played it much it like a two year old would. The Charlie and the Chocolate factory movie focused on Wonka than it did on Charlie ironically and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory focused on Charlie.
Gene Wilder as Wonka did an ok job, but the scene that confused people the most in the 1971 movie was the tripped out tunnel scene. After Augustus was eliminated, they go trough a tunnel and it gets so tripped out showing scenes that I guess shouldn't be in a children's movie and it just was so confusing, it is never mentioned again after the ride is over.
I think, in my opinion, the 2005 version shows more. More details, more on the life of Willy Wonka and even Charlie's father is alive in this version where in the 1971 his father is dead. The other four greedy kids are seen leaving the factory in the 2005 version but aren't seeen in the end at all. (Maybe they died or something)
There is more of an ending in the 2005 version. Wonka trying to make amends with his father Where in the 1971 version Charlie accepts in the glass elevator to move in with Wonka and Charlie's family is invited as well.
But which one do I like better. The classic one still holds a place in my heart and I think I will love that one forever. Gene Wilder does a wonderful job portraying Wonka as welll as Depp, but I think he did a better job becasue he seemed to keep children enertained, and scare them at the same time knowing that one day someone will one his factory.
The Charlie's on the other hand, Freddie Highmore did an exicent job; however it seemed as if he wasn't needed at all in the movie becuase it more revolived around Wonka. Charlie was just a kid who got a ticket and that was it. The other Charlie in the 1971 version seemed like he had more of a role. He wanted it all, he had a need and would do anything, yet wasn't a greedy person and was nice kid as well and this was his only acting role. He never acted again. But was his only great performance.
Reiceintly they had a 40th anniversary edition for 1971 Wonka and the all the actors who portryaed the kids had comentaries about the movies, and sadly the only surviving adult now is Gene Wilder who portrayed Willy Wonka.
I think ithat version was the better one, even though I'm not a fan of all the songs, and the 2005 version was more fateful to the book, I loved the 1971 version a lot more, they should of just had Tim Burton as the desiging team and visual aid to change around Wonka's chocolate room.
Till then, enjoy enjoy all the chocolate you can eat. Ciao, Bloggers, I don't have a golden ticket!

13 years later 9/11
We still think about it as it was yesterday, but it has been 13 years since that tragic day, and I still remember what I was doing.
I don't live in New York, but I lost someone n my family that I never met and will never meet and it hurts so bad.
It hurts for anyone who lost a loved one that day, and I don't why but this pain will never go away.
The scars will never heal,
the tears will never dry,
the memories will always be fresh in us and will always hurt. What were you doing when that day occurred? I was in 11th grade, in 2nd period and if it wasn't for our marketing teacher putting that tv on, we would never have noticed it.
But I felt something bad was going to happen day even since first period started and someone was celebrating her birthday.
I guess I can always feel when something bad is going to happen and yet you have no control over it, and also feel deep down,
it might have meant for it to be, but this.....
this is not one of them.
NEVER FORGET! The souls that were lost and that we will always have them in our hears. Goodbye for now bloggers. Will Ciao on a happier time.

My top five favorite pixar movies of all time.
Been watching some disney movies, mostly pixar some good, some bad, but five of them I think are best and I'll tell you why.
First off the lowest pixar movie on my radar is "The incredibles" One of my least favorite pixar ever. I don't know why, but I just never connected with this one like I did the other top five. Its about a family of superheros and I guess one retired but a criminal mastermind comes back to seek revenge turning out to be one of the incredible biggest fans turned super villain. I didn't care for it that much, and I only saw it twice. It was one of my least favorite. My second least favorite is cars. I just couldn't get into the fact that cars could talk and they made other remakes likes cars 2, planes and others vehicles with eyes and mouths. Just gross.
My top five favorite.
My fifth favorite is Brave. Based off a Scottish setting of a princess who doesn't want to find a prince, She wants to find adventure is great with archery. Her and her mother don't get along and her mother (voiced by Emma Thompson). Just don't see eye to everything. She wants her daughter to marry a prince but she doesn't want to be married at all, she wants to go on adventures. So she gets a witch to help her with her problems. Making her mother eat a dessert that turns her into a bear. Her father is Ninon for killing many bears can't see that his wife is something he would see end up killing in the end.
Eventually the princess talks about what matter most is not a treaty, but it's understanding and communicating and knowing that is what matters most is family.
My fourth favorite is UP. A story about an old man (voiced by Ed Asner) making a dream a reality with assistance from a little kid. Trying to get his house, which is about to be demolished, to Paradise Falls to pursue the dream of his dead wife. However, many chaotic and crazy zany stuff happens along away. Like meeting with a crazy old man who is looking for an exotic bird, who the boy named 'Kevn' and a talking dog named "Doug" is also on the adventure and they end finding up what they're looking for, on the wrong side. There were so many talking dogs it was as if I need done of those callers they had for all dogs so we would know what every dog was saying. It was an amazing adventure from beginning to end and I loved every minute of it
My third favorite is Ratatouille. A story about a rat who is really good at cooking, but other rats just act like rats, knowing that humans hate them. He lives in Paris and helps a wannabe cook since he was caught making soup and claimed that the rat did it and not him.
He call's the rat "little chef" then a major food critic (voiced by the late Christopher O'Toole) comes to judge the new chef by tasting some food, but the head chef doesn't want any publicity going to the restaurant and tries firing him, but he gets fired himself. Unfortunately what I loved about the movies is that it uses humans as well as the aspect as talking rats. They couldn't have a rat well feed the particular food critic that is judging the meal. Ratatouille was the dish of meal served to the critic and when he took a bite he loved it and wanted to personally thank the chef, but had to wait till everyone left, sadly the restaurant closed but it did have a happy ending for the chef and the rat. I loved it very much just like I did UP and it kind of has that feel and tone as well. I just thought was amazing.
My second favorite is Toy Story's 1 2 and 3. First was amazaing as well as Pixar's first animated movie, about a toy spaceman finding it hard to believe he's really a toy and a cowboy who is a big shot and they couldn't even get along. Tim Allen voiced Buzz and Tom Hanks voiced Woody. Eventually they learned about their differences in harsh way. One toy is taken next door in which they call hell when a boy blows up toys as well as plays with them and it's up to Woody to save him. They do and end up getting friends oh at the end, the kid gets a dog.
Second one was OK but wasn't as great as the first. Woody is sold off to a guy who collets toys and has found out he use to be part of a tv show. Kelsey Grammer and Jane Cusack voice other cowboys. One was a really friendly cowgirl named Jessie who Buzz takes a shine at, who sings a depressing Sarah McGlucgline song about toys being not played with and my god it got so depressing I wanted to go back to playing with my dolls again, if I had them. She was tossed aside my her ex-owner and found by the same guy who bought woody. Stinky Pete is more an-ti buzz light year space aliens and is just not a kind of Cowboy who knows what playtime means. Soon Woody is about to be put on display as Buzz and the rest save him but... it's been a while since I've seen the movie but it did turn out to have a happy ending.
The last Toy Story didn't take place till recently. The owner of the toys decides to take only Woody to college. The other toys were going to be sent to the attic but they end up outside on the curb waiting to be thrown out. They end up at a daycare center. The leader (voiced by Ned Beatty) is a strawberry secreted teddy bear who was lost by his previous child owner and forgotten. Growing him to be bitter and evil and controlling who goes where. Buzz Light year is kidnapped and is deprogrammed, Woody escapes and finds a new home only to find out that even though he escaped the daycare center alive, he had to go back to save his friends.
Eventually, the truth comes out and they all try to dethrone the evil teddy bear which gets them all sent to the garbage dump. The happy ending is, Woody, Buzz and all the rest are sent to a new owner who loves toys as much as the previous one did.
Now which one could be the best... the one I think I think is the best out of all the Pixar movies ever..
Finding Nemo is number one. Why? Why does it beat out all the others? Why does it blow all the pixar movies out of the water?
Because I thought it had to be one of the best Pixar animated movies ever It starts with a clown fish (voiced by Albert Brooks) losing his wife and a bunch of fish eggs, exect for one he decided to name Nemo.
Nemo has a busted fin that is smaller than his other fin. His father is overprotective and they had a fight. and he gets captured by an Austarlian Dentist and wants to give the fish to his bratty neice to kills fish for a living, it's up to a bunch of other fish from the aquatic tank that he keeps in his dentist office. They make him one of their own. And for the father, he comes across a forgetful female fish (voiced by Ellen Degeneres) who doesn't reemember much but helps on the journey and sadly they get into so much chaos that nearly ends up them getting them killed and it just pulls at your heartstrings wanting to know if this simple clown fish will ever find his son.
Why do I think this is the best out of all the others I review. I because it's mostly the two main characters They argue alot they get along and they DON'T become a couple, but the seems the chemestrey between them really work, and now they are called finding Dory. I wouldn't mind seeing that. It would be amazing, alough I think they would have the change the voice actor for nemo, because when this movie came out, it was 2003.
Disney, Pixar whatever. I know some of my options might change over they years, but for now, these are now y top five. I'm not a big fan of Disney like I use to be but, I still enjoy some of these movies. Till then, enjoy! Ciao Bloggers!

why we have to be depressed about depression?
Everyone has been hearing about the death of Robin Williams and it is very sad. Many of us knew he had depression but we never knew he would go and kill himself,
Many people (even famous ones) have depression and their own demons to face. Some can conquer them while others well... you know. It is a sad thing and medication does help, but so could therapy as well. Talking to someone so you don't feel sad or lonely is a big one as well. There are many hot lines for people who are gong down that road and have nowhere to turn to. Sometimes they think it's the only way to go. I think (in my opinion) it's the cowards way out. The last thing people do to make their depression go away.
There are so many ways to detect if somebody has depression, but it's not always easy to fix.
I have depression (along with so much else) not too severe, but it can get severe and believe me. I can be happy on the outside, but on the inside, it hurts, it really hurts. I'm not a suicidal person (thank god) however I just know it could get to that stage in the future if I don't up my medication. it seems that I take the medicine at night and in the day time, I'm as happy as a sesame street character could be (except for bert) but I just feel sometimes that I want to cry for no reason and I'm just lonely at times and need to talk to someone so I don't get so sad and bored,
Why do we get sad over depression? Why do so many people have it? It could be generic or it could be something else that triggered it like a death in the family or an accident. I get the depression from my mom and she has it She sometimes feels sad and lonely and it seems a hug helps. Hugs always help me feel better, or listening to music as well. Music soothes my depression Why do we get sad over it?
I don't know? I guess it's part of the mind that shows us that we can have and try our best not to have it control our minds,
but sadly for some people their depression takes over more than anything and just consumes them until they can take no more. Ernest Hemingway died from it as well as Kurt Cobain.
Robin Williams, well I will miss all the comedy genius of a man who had a tragic side that nobody knew about but him, and from him being an old granny to voicing a genie I will miss him very much.
"O Captain, My Captain!" Goodbye Robin Williams.
And remember don't let your depression get the better of you, conquer it as best as you can. Caio for now bloggers RIP Robin Williams (1951-2014)

Oh no it's AUGUST!!!
Where has the summer gone? No seriously? Where has it gone?
I've already seen a Christmas ad on facebook and halloween candy at the grocery store. I know there is back to school sales and commercials but that is normal.
Like I said before, don't holidays have room to breathe?
I don't think they do. Marketing these days decide that it's best to televise or put out ads desplayying Halloween in July and Christmas ads in October. It's just rediculus.
But then again maybe it's best to let it be that way. I find it rediculus and stupid but it seems to help pull in the sales.
I think it just makes the daays go faster as well as the year end as well, but it seems as if they do this every year. And since August barely has any holidays, they'll show more commercials that brings the season of Autumn closer than ever, God oh mighty. This year has gone by too fast.
I guess some people like it while others just think it's too much (like me of course) Till then. Ciao Bloggers!
