Althouse on Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory

Professor Ann Althouse, movie critic, strikes again:

Did Johnny Depp base his Willie Wonka character on Michael Jackson? Based on the trailer, I'd say so. An apt choice, isn't it? The Chocolate Factory ≈ Neverland.

Except, Ann, I do not think Michael would rig his factory to eliminate kids until there was only one little boy left.
