Monthly Archive for August, 2005

I finally got to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory last night. It was great fun, even better than I'd expected it would be. My only complaint was the gross misrepresentation of Düsseldorf, fabled home of Augustus Gloop. My German hometown is not a midsized Bavarian town full of hicks. It's a sprawling industrial metropolis perched on the banks of the largest river in Europe. But then, I've come to expect this sort of mistake. I have a sense of humor about it. *eyedart* Really.
