re: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

Classic movie, and hardly ever gets old...

I watched it recently on Netflix too and it holds up pretty well even today IMO. It's funny you guys are mentioning Grandpa Joe as a villain. Maybe it's because I'm older now but I noticed several things this time about him that I never had before:

- Sits around in bed for 20 straight years and lets Charlie and his mom pick up the slack
- When Charlie shows up with a loaf of bread, he says "what difference does it make where he got it? point is he got it" as if stealing it would've been just fine
- Jumps up out of bed and moves around like a 20-year old as soon as Charlie finds the ticket
- Encourages Charlie to drink the fizzy lifting drink which almost causes him to lose his whole prize (not to mention his life)
- Tells Charlie they'll give Slugworth the Gobstopper to get even with Wonka

I love the actor (Jack Albertson), but Grandpa Joe is an a-hole.
