Charlie gets freaky at the chocolate factory
 Wow - Willy Wonka! Seriously - that's kinda creepy. http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-28703254 Aug 09 14 12:42 pm Link MORE LIKE ROALD DOLL! Aug 09 14 12:49 pm Link The article states the photo is from a French magazine photo shoot. That explains a lot...  Aug 09 14 01:24 pm Link Definitely creepy & misleading photo. Maybe a controversial photo for publicity purposes? Aug 09 14 07:45 pm Link I've never read the Chocolate Factory or the Glass Elevator, so I ordered the hardback boxed set of each form Amazon because of this thread. And I threw in a hardback of the Silmarillion too. Aug 09 14 08:53 pm Link Charlie & The Chocolate Factory was one of my favourite books growing up... The movie was cool too. Not the Tim Burton bastardization but the one with Gene Wilder.. Aug 09 14 09:07 pm Link AdelaideJohn1967 wrote: I have both movies, and I think I like both movies, but I've never read the book. Aug 09 14 09:26 pm Link Roald Dahl wrote some messed-up stuff first published in Playboy ("Bitch" is probably the best example, but there are others, also featuring his "Uncle Oswald" character), so, yes... there is definitely an adult side to his writing... however, "Charlie & The Chocolate Factory" will be forever associated with the Willy Wonka movies, and all the controversial book covers in the world ain't gonna change that.
