To this question: Michael Jackson vs Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka. Hoo'd Win?

Not really a challenge, really. Wonka exceeds Jackson's creepy factor, which is tough. Physically, well, Jackson was a wreck during his trial, while Wonka reigns supreme over the Oompa Loompas who run the Wonka Candy Works.

In a contest of power? I'm willing to bet Wonka Bars outsell HIStory by a fair margin on a bad day. And while they both get large press gatherings at appearances, Wonka doesn't have to show up in handcuffs.

Wonka it is, then.

There were rumors a few years back that Marilyn Manson was gonna play Wonka.

That woulda been something to see.

Ooo. Damn.

I trust Depp's punch more. All that Jackson could do was sissyboy slap party.

Deep inside that Depp as Wonka is Captain Jack Sparrow.

Or possibly vice versa.

Screw both of them. Gene Wilder owns (http://geneowns.ytmnd.com/).

Well, that's now stuck in my head. Thanks!

That's actually the point in the movie in which Johnny Depp said, "Gee, that's way better than my 'boring robot' acting. That's proper acting. Tim, are you sure I'm up to this?"

And Tim Burton said, "Yes, we'll just give you some heavy makeup. But perhaps you ought to change into some clean pants first, hm?"
