"Why is everything here completely pointless?"
"Candy does not have to have a point. That´s why it´s candy."
Yes. I went to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory yesterday. And that piece of dialogue sums up the film rather well. Just watch the trailer from the site and you´ll understand what I am talking about.
Two of my colleagues went to see it on Saturday, which meant that the first meeting of the week started with quoting the film:
"Don´t touch that squirrel´s nuts!"
(laughing)
"You´re really weird."
(laughing)
"Daddy, I want another pony."
(laughing)
Very amusing, wouldn´t you say. Especially for the people who haven´t seen the film.
Not to reveal too much, the film is absurd, cruel, funny, visually amazing and - did I already say that - funny. So quite like the books of Roald Dahl. I´d say that this movie is the most entertaining film I have seen for ages.

MOTHER'S LITTLE HELPER
ROLLING STONES
What a drag it is getting old
"Kids are different today,"
I hear every mother say
Mother needs something today to calm her down
And though she's not really ill
There's a little yellow pill
She goes running for the shelter
Of a mother's little helper
And it helps her on her way
Gets her through her busy day
"Things are different today,"
I hear every mother say
Cooking fresh food for a husband's just a drag
So she buys an instant cake
And she burns her frozen steak
And goes running for the shelter
Of a mother's little helper
And to help her on her way
Get her through her busy day
CHORUS:
Doctor please
Some more of these
Outside the door
She took four more
What a drag it is getting old
"Men just aren't the same today
I hear every mother say
They just don't appreciate that you get tired
They're so hard to satisfy
You can tranquilise your mind
So go running for the shelter
Of a mother's little helper
And for to help you through the night
Help to minimise your plight
"Life's just much too hard today,"
I hear every mother say
The pursuit of happiness just seems a bore
And if you take more of those
You will get an overdose
No more running to the shelter
Of a mother's little helper
They just helped you on your way
Through your busy dying day
