It's Wonka-vision!

"9 deaths, 2 suicides, 1 acid freak out, 1 transvestite, 2 nazis and 1 b-boy dance off"

Suzy and I went to see Wonka! A Live Cinema Remix last night at 'Lanfranchis Memorial Discotheque' in Surry Hills. We originally heard about it via an SMH Article, and decided it was worth a look.

We are glad we did, it was absolutely hilarious. They had an edited version of the film up on screen, with a team of them doing all of the voices and sound effects live. The story was changed needless to say, with Wilhelm Von Wonkinstien a LSD addicted Nazi living in a factory full of doped midgets, who has lured the Princess of Poland to his factory. Verucca Salt was actually the cross-dressing head of British Secret Service, who infiltrated the factory with Winston Churchill.

Most of it was very funny, if a little random, the plot was obviously pretty loose and it was all about the jokes. They did an awesome job, and well worth the $10 admission. I think it is on again tonight and Saturday, so if anyone is in the Sydney area with nothing to do, I can't recommend this highly enough.

In a similar vein, I have also stumbled across the preview for a new movie, "Brokeback to the Future". Check it out, looks like it is going to be a great film! (You need to have Quicktime installed to watch it, or even better, Quicktime Alternative!)

EDIT: Apparently this idea of creating spoof trailers of Brokeback Mountain hybrids with other famous movies is quite widespread, I have no idea if Brokeback to the Future was the first of them or not. Here is another one, this time based around Star Wars (not as good, but still funny)
