SOME Good News - There

SOME Good News - There are few things in the world that I genuinely loathe:

5. People who've adopted Gene Roddenberry's fictional Federation directives as their worldview - their de facto religion.

4. Fruit bagels.

3. Chalupas

2. Actively-practicing Klansmen

And the #1 thing I actively loathe:

1. The 1971 Gene Wilder movie Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory Roald Dahl's book "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" was much better, and those accursed "Oompa Loompas" from the movie still scare me to this day.

But I saw this in the London Times Online today:

The film director Tim Burton is to make a new adaptation of the Roald Dahl book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston’s company, Plan B, will produce.

The Edward Scissorhands director is to meet Dahl’s family to confirm the deal, according to Variety. Dahl was unhappy with the 1971 adaptation, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
