Tonight at the Alamo Downtown!



No offense, and we're looking forward to the new PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN movie as much as everyone else, but there are some things that Johnny Depp isn't the best at. Okay, maybe that's not true... Really though, why did he feel the need to improve on absolute perfection? We love you, Johnny, but Gene Wilder's Willy Wonka was chocolate-covered delicous.

Fun fact: did you know that the somersault fall Wonka does when he makes his entrance in front of the candy factory was Wilder's idea? And that not only was it his idea, but that he said that if the director didn't let him add that movement in, he wouldn't do the movie? It's true. Wilder said that from that moment on, we'd never be able to know when he was lying and when he was telling the truth, and he was so dedicated to the idea that he would have let the role pass him by if he couldn't keep us on his toes by falling off of his own.

Join us this Wednesday night for our first WILLY WONKA & THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY party us as we celebrate this ode to chocolate and childhood and morality, and we'll give everyone who comes through the door their very own Wonka bar; one of them will even have a lucky golden ticket in it!
