WONKA

I went to see the 10:35 a.m. matinee showing of this movie today, Sunday, January 21st, 2024, at the Century 14 Vallejo here in Vallejo, CA. The price of admission was $7.50.

SYNOPSIS: An ambitious young Willy Wonka comes to town to prove to 3 other chocolate shop owners, aka "The Cartel,"  that his magical, out-of-this-world creations are simply the best! 

PG, 1h & 56m

Auditorium 14, B-6

One of the previews shown is of the upcoming Godzilla X Kong movie scheduled for release on March 29th of this year. With the time setting being 4 or 5 years after Godzilla V Kong. But this Godzilla 🦖 isn't the chonky Godzilla of GODZILLA MINUS ONE which can barely walk. This Godzilla CAN do sprints and seems to be faster than King Kong 🦍❗😃

As this Wonka movie is supposed to be about magical things, I shall refrain from commenting on certain things.

But the "Read The Small Print" scene, however, got my attention. 🤨

Lederhosen. 😂

"What rhymes with Noodle?"  Here's a list of 11 words/phrases which rhyme 100% with Noodle:

The Oompa-Loompa song. 🙂

The manhole 🕳️ cover was too light! 

The Wonka Chocolate Shop looks like something that Amaury Guichon would make! 👍

The time setting is Wintertime! So, the stored chocolate in the basement should not have flowed fluidly❗ But Since It Did, It Meant That It Was Actually Being Kept Constantly Hot 🔥 To Maintain Its Fluidity--hot enough to slow-stew anyone ❗🥵❗ Had it been I who was left to drown in chocolate, I would have peed & perhaps even pooped in it to improve its flavor❗😉❗😆❗

This is a good movie to take your brats to go see! 👌

TIDBITS:

I wonder if world famous chocolatier Amaury Guichon, whose chocolate academy is in the next-door State of Nevada, worked as a consultant for this movie. 🤔

No need to wonder, perhaps ❗

Being taught and trained by Amaury Guichon should be on my Bucket List 👌❗😊❗👍

The Internet is set abuzz with the discovery of this Gene Wilder lookalike:

This is the fans' favorite choice to play

the part of an older Willy Wonka! 

And speaking of Willy Wonka, am I the only one who thinks that his last name sounds like an English word for "something else" which relates to his first name ...?  😜

As I was about to leave the theatre, I saw Grayson Nonoa, aka AQUAfinaMAN. I told him that if Whollyweird ever decides to make a parody movie about AQUAMAN and they pick him for the lead part, that he should tell the director and the producers about me, that I can help them develop Comedy, Action, Horror and Sci-Fi scenes. 🤞 😎

Then, it was time for me to have lunch at Selecta Pilipino Buffet Restaurant on Springs Road here in Vallejo. 

I met the unassuming multi-millionaire once again today after I ate lunch and bought lottery tickets at Selecta Pilipino Buffet, and after I bought 3 items at the nearby Dollar Tree Store. He was sitting in his car snacking on some green grapes which he had just bought at the 99-Cents Only Store right next door to Selecta. 

We talked about random things. He remembered me from last time. We exchanged names again. His name is Roger. He seems to come by here on Sundays after church. I will have to hangout with him sometime and ask him for some pointers on how to invest in Real Estate! 🤑
