    Very sad to hear of his passing. Loved his movies with Richard Prior.

    I always heard that Roald Dahl hated the film version of WW&tCF. I never understood why. Around the time the Burton/Depp version came out, I read the book and found that it couldn't begin to compare to the original movie. I don't think any of Wilder's great lines are in it. Of course, all of his lines in that movie were great.

    Many theaters are paying tribute by screening his best films. I saw one that had a double bill of "Wonka" and "Blazing Saddles."
