i see what you're saying, Lex...& i agree with you.
...but i still feel this will suffice.
personally, i don't think the Dahl's wanted Manson as Wonka - nor the dark version of the story.
....also, something in the back of my FABULOUS mind tells me they opted for Depp(as well as Burton).
...& look at the bitch NOW!
