I thought they were morbidly cool when I was little.

They were in the Great Glass Elevator, but I seem to remember them being mentioned at the end of Chocolate Factory, kinda setting up the sequel.
Most of Roald Dahl is morbidly cool. The only thing I liked better in the 70's film version was the song Gene Wilder sings on the boat. Damn that's cool. "Is it raining, is it snowing, is a hurricane a-blowing?" He gets all Leo Bloom there at the end. I need that on DVD, I think.

Ok, I went and saw it. I really liked it. I don’t think I can say if it was better than the other one or not, they were different.

Favorite line:

“Everything here is eatable….I'm eatable, but that my children is called cannibalism and it is frowned upon in most societies.”

LMAO

Do your parents prefer the campy style of the seventies to newer movies in all cases, or just this one?

I think they prefer the original in most cases.
However, to be honest, and don't let my wife know, but I have never really seen either Chocolate Factory movie. HAHAHAHA!

There is a Michael Caine movie called Shock to the Sytem that is pretty good. I much trod on professionally and personally) man finds out how easy it is to take care of his problems by killing people. It is a good dark comedy. Check out the review at allmovie.com. It is much better than they give it credit for and Caine is at his best.
