Willy Wonka
Why do they always take out the boat scene, thru the tunnel, from the chocolate river
to the Everlasting Gobstopper room?

:shrug: :shrug:

though I think it is too psychedelic and a bit startling for the androids who do the programming these days.

3. Cuz it's FREAKY!!!
"There's no earthly way of knowing / Which direction we are going! / There's no knowing where we're rowing, / Or which way they river's flowing! / Is it raining? Is it snowing? / Is a hurricane a-blowing? / Bah! Not a speck of light is showing, / So the danger must be growing, / Are the fires of hell a-blowing? / Is the grizzly reaper mowing? / Yes! The danger must be growing, / For the rowers keep on rowing, / And they're certainly not showing / Any signs that they are slowing..."

5. What the heck? I just found this...
70. A fan of the film sent me this little factoid, I thought it was useless but amazingly entertaining so I just had to add it! Here is a little theory/factoid: The lickable wallpaper contained boogers. here is the justification/theory: As we all know, Wonka claims that the "Snozzberries taste like snozberries." Well, after careful consideration, this came to mind: berries, of course, are the fruit of some vine, bush, or entity (blueberries, strawberries, Cap'n Crunch Berries) and "snozz" either is or can be easily misconstrued as "shnoz," or slang for "nose." Put those two together and you've got a Nose-fruit or nose-berry, which is a booger. Just something to think about in case you ever wondered what in the world a Snozzberry is! Update 11-24-99: You wont believe this! The snozzberry is explained in another of Rooald Dahl's books called "My Uncle Oswald" as being a penis. More specifically, the head of a penis! Amazing but true.
