i saw gene wilder speak tonite. there was my childhood, sitting 12 feet in front of me. it was extremely surreal and wonderful. i was even brought to tears a few times. he still has perfect comic timing and the bluest eyes i've ever seen (besides mary's). i shook his hand after and said thank you for everything.

it was all very perfect.

I teared up, too. I was so happy when he was naming truly in-love Hollywood couples and he said Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward first, because I just absolutely love them. I left that auditorium feeling so happy about life.

those eyes!

yeah, he talked about the new one a little. he said he's glad johnny depp is playing wonka, if anyone. but he said he thinks that burton will make it too scary and possibly lose it's moral. no one in the audience stopped him to tell him that the original willy wonka is fucking terrifying, although we were all thinking it.
