I just read an article, and I couldn't keep silent. First of all, here's the article:

(For those of you who missed the article, sorry, but it was too long to keep up anymore. You'll have to be faster next time!)

I suggest you go read it, and then read what I'm going to say about it.

First of all, Gene Wilder is a complete and total GIT!! Does he realize that Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory isn't even remotely close to the book that Rhode Dahl wrote? Hello! Movies aren't always just about the money. Johnny Depp wouldn't do any movie that was all about money. That's just not him. He only does movies that interest him and has turned down many movie parts because the movie was being made just for the money. Now for the real thing that gets me... THEY'RE NOT REMAKING WILLY WONKA!! THEY'RE MAKING A MOVIE THAT ACTUALLY FOLLOWS THE BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!! CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY IS THE TITLE OF THE BOOK AND THE MOVIE. THE FOCUS OF BOTH IS CHARLIE, NOT WILLY WONKA!

COME ON, GENE WILDER, GET YOUR EGO IN CHECK AND REALIZE THAT THE WORLD DOESN'T REVOLVE AROUND YOU!!!!!

I'm done now. Sorry for the venting. It's just when I read about an actor who is as uninformed as this guy is, I get annoyed. Before pronouncing an opinion, Gene, get all the facts.

Anyway, things are going good. I hit a rough spot, with Laura having a boyfriend, but Duane helped me through it, and I'm mostly okay now. I'm helping out at Grant Elementary, which keeps me busy and focusing on something else but myself. I also haven't been as sick lately (knock on wood), but I'm still uncomfortable getting a job. I don't quite feel up to it yet. That's why I'm volunteering.

I'm much happier and at least I have a few things to look forward to this summer: Harry Potter 6, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and seeing Star Wars 3 as many times as possible. I just have to say that Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith is a fantastic movie and anyone who's anyone needs to go see it. I've seen it 3 times and want to see it more.

More later!
