2. The Twits!

That book is fucking hilarious! I'm excited to see how the movie turns out.

Dahl's books always made me laugh out loud. I remember as a kid I used to annoy my family by reading all the really funny parts from Matilda out loud--over and over again. I was quite the silly little bookworm. :D

Love Henry Selick's work and have been a fan of Altman for 30 years.

Guess I won't be able to cancel HBO anytime soon. :-)

My fourth grade teacher used to read all the stories to us after lunch. I can't wait to see how The Twits and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory turn out. I just remember cracking up as my teacher read us The Twits! So flippin' funny!
