One of our neighbors has actually been to that factory where the movie was filmed. It's in Germany. But Belgian chocolate is still better.

It's like if Pete Townshend was in the movie "Innerspace" while playing his guitar... it strikes a powerful chord within us...
...I'm sorry... that was a groaner...

Heh...I have never heard of "Innerspace", but now I have "Hey, hey, we're the Monkees" stuck in my head.
Thanks.
No, really. I like the Monkees. Thanks:)

uhh... you know that Pete Townshend was never in the Monkees, right? He was the guitarist for The Who. "Innerspace" was a late 80's film with Dennis Quaid, Martin Short, and Meg Ryan. Quaid plays a test pilot who gets shrunk down to a microscopic size and injected inside Short. Wackiness ensues.

Should have explained that better, huh? I know he's not in the Monkees, but it's the first thing I think he's in when I hear his name (don't know why...wasn't there a Pete in the Monkees?), so even though I know it's not the Monkees, I can never remember exactly who he is and then I'm just stuck on The Monkees. I blame it on my mom, who only let me listen to Christian music growing up...
The good news is, now I have the theme song from CSI: NY in my head:) "Out here in the fields....I fight for my meals....blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah...."

Ahh, yes... the song that I grew up thinking was called "Teenage Wasteland," but is, in fact, called "Baba O'Riley." These are the sorts of things that throw elements of one's innocent childhood days into sharp relief.

Wait...it's NOT called "Teenage Wasteland"? WHAT? MR. CALI LIED TO ME?!?!
Heh...that's histerical. Apparently most people believe it's called Teenage Wasteland.
One of the coolest things was when I went to see Gary Sinese's band play (they are called the Lt. Dan Band...they used to have another name, but everyone would follow that up with "You know, Lt. Dan's Band", so they just went with that), and they played "Baba O'Riley".
It's so weird to call it that!

oh, I'd love to see the Lt. Dan Band. Then again, I was probably the only person who saw Forrest Gump the first time and said "Hey look, it's Gary Sinese, the guy that played Stu!"
And as a child, my father would say "Now I know it would be tempting to call this song 'Teenage Wasteland,' but you get to be one of the people that know it's actual title..." So while it took a while for me to remember the actual title, I *knew* that it wasn't "Teenage Wasteland."
They're all WASTED!

I'm waiting for a specialty store to pop up somewhere that caters to obese adolescents called "Teenage Waistband"
You heard it here first, folks...

Heh.
Rheeeeeeee...the Lt. Dan Band is AWESOME. They are really just a cover band (I think they sang one original song the entire night), but they are so great at covering songs from every genre that it works. They are a huge band too - 4 different main singers, a couple of whom also play other instruments, and four or five other musicians, so they basically did one continuous 4 hour set when I saw them...no taking breaks or anything like that! And THEN, they did a 1/2 hour to 45 minute encore. Crazy band.
And Laslo...I'm laughing right now (silently, though, because I don't want the one customer in my shop to know what a weird sense of humor I have).

I don't care if Johnny ever sees the movie, but at least get the title right- it's CHARLIE and the Chocolate Factory!!! Charlie!
**steps off soapbox** thank you.

No, no, no, no, no...the GOOD one (the first one) is Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. The one Johnny still needs to see. The one I love. The one that I'm sure Gene Wilder made them write into his contract the following: "I don't care what the %*(#^%(*#^% book is called. I am the star of this movie, and thus the title will have MY character's name, not the name of the unknown boy who plays Charlie." Modified to say: I, of course, did not mean that the actor who played Charlie would have his name in the title, but rather Charlie's name could not be in the title because the actor who played him was unknown. I had to type quickly because my beginning knitting student had just arrived. Sigh. Too bad customers get in the way so often!
