Pure Imagination
Hold your breath
Make a wish
Count to three


Come with me
And you'll be
In a world of
Pure imagination
Take a look
And you'll see
Into your imagination

We'll begin
With a spin
Traveling in
The world of my creation
What we'll see
Will defy
Explanation

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Wanta change the world?
There's nothing
To it

There is no
Life I know
To compare with
Pure imagination
Living there
You'll be free
If you truly wish to be

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Wanta change the world?
There's nothing
To it

There is no
Life I know
To compare with
Pure imagination
Living there
You'll be free
If you truly
Wish to be


In honor of BigMcLargeHuge's Willy Wonka thread.

13. what do you get when you guzzle down sweets
eating as much as an elephant eats
What are you at getting terribly fat?
What do you think will come of that?
I don't like the look of it

Oompa Loompa, doompadee dah
If you're not greedy you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa doompadee do
Doompadee do

4. I gave the DVD to my niece and she
marked out hard for it.
I then gave her the two books "Charley and the Chocolate Factory" and the far far weirder "Charley and the Great Glass Elevator" and she marked out hard for them as well.
Which means that Roald Dahl-wise I running out of kid-friendly material.
Nuthin' left to do but slip her the classics comics version of "Atlas Shrugged" and hope for the best.

8. It's pro wrestling slang
roughly meaning to express a great deal of pleased excitement.
Expl:
"YAY! Goldberg kicked Triple H's backside!"
or in this case
"Uncle Zolok you are the BEST! I love my Willy Wonka DVD!!"

11. A funny story about the boat ride...
Amidst all the scary imagery, including a chicken getting it's head cut off, Wilder actually stopped in the middle of his monologue during filming, and said "you DO realize that this is a childrens movie, right?"

14. The danger must be growing
because the rowers keep on rowing
and they certainly aren't showing
any signs that they are slowing

10. Okay! I'm holding my breath and....WHOOOFF! (Choke)...
...Wow. Shit. I guess my wish is: I didn't smoke so many damn cigarettes, and then maybe I'd be able to hold my breath and count to three.

Has fucking Willy Wonka got any goddamn advice about THAT? And don't say, "More chocolate." Christ, I'm trying to lose 20 pounds here.

Fantasies. I guess I'm just not there these days. Except for the perverted sex ones. But they say THOSE are bad too.

What's a fella to do?

12. Did everyone notice...
Edited on Tue Jun-01-04 03:24 PM by tjwash
...all the literary quotes in the movie?

"Where is fancy bred..." and "So shines a good deed..." are from Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice"

"Sweet lovers love the spring time..." are from "As You Like It".

"The suspense is terrible, I hope it will last" is a quote from Oscar Wilde's play, "The Importance of Being Earnest."

"Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker" is from a poem entitled "Reflections on Ice Breaking" by Ogden Nash.

"We are the music-makers..." is from Arthur O'Shaughnessy's "Ode"
