A bonus DVD-related thingie for you this week — my MSN interview with Mel Stuart, the director of “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”, the 40th anniversary of which is being celebrated by Warner Home Video with one of those Ultimate Collectors Edition monster boxes.

If your first thought was “Mel who?”, well, you aren’t alone. But the guy’s had a hell of a career above and beyond the whole Oompa-Loompa thing. You should read the piece.
