OK – I will allow for the “novelty” film but that is because “3D” IS a novelty device.
I heard an interview with the tech guys who were behind the Chuck episode and the 3D business that went on during the Super Bowl. These guys were all hyped up on their new(again) 3D technology and gushed about how all your TV shows would be like this in the future. The question that immediately popped into my head was “Why?”.
JEHOVAH!
I agree it would get boring fast, and also one of the reasons the original 3D failed, but nice now and again.
Also except for a few ‘pop out’ scenes, the 3D looks like cardboard cutouts at different distances from the screen.
… YES !!!!!
My copy of the “Watchmen” has arrived !!!!
I hope to play along with the cool kids.
I think all movies should be in Smell-o-vision before they get an Oscar nod.

Blazing Saddles? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
That scene in the first Star Wars movie when they slide down the chute into the garbage area.
Trainspotting
Shhh… I just received my 2nd ever request for a press interview.
I’m secretly saying, “Squee! Someone likes me!” *giggle*
Smell-o-Vision – How about the scene in Daddy Day Care where the little boy uses the bathroom all by himself.. *poopy*
Congrats, Cj!
“Scent of a woman” ?
With that bit of low brow … I’m taking my sick head and crawling into bed with a book.
Goodnight Moon.
Cj: The Nightmare Before Christmas was the first movie of which I was ever a big fan. That started at age nine. There was exactly one moment that I personally found genuinely scary, and it lasted about five seconds. (There are two or three more that some other people might be scared of, but overall it’s much more heartwarming than scary.)
I picked up “Watchmen & Philosophy” tonight. A little light reading before our talk. :)
Thanks for the advice, Ed.
Probably would be best. We’re so behind we just interrupt the normal flow of Deadpan.
Jack, just please don’t judge Neil Gaiman based on the movies of his books.. the books are SOOOO much better.
3D movies just never seem to be as good as you want them to be
Hugh and I went to see Nightmare Before Christmas in 3D and we walked out after saying.. wow, I really would of much rather just seen the movie on the big screen again without the 3D.
I’ve read Neverwhere and American Gods, which were good and really good.
But more importantly, w00t :) It’s good to see you guys here. (And thank you for getting the Jonathan Livingston Seagull reference. Sorry about your stupid brothers’ vandalism)
I’m just a total sucker for anything Gaiman has written. It started with the Sandman series and was capped off with Neverwhere. I even read the ridiculous Marvel 1602.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_1602
Coraline is deserving of the attention though. It is simply good and would be so no matter who had written it. The book, that is. I didn’t make it out to see the movie yet. I’ve got my fingers crossed that the fam will be able to get our shit together this weekend.
And before I forget, because I just did, I wanted to vote for more of the …
I forgot what you call it.
When TSH live-blog the shows, that thing. I love that. Except I can’t remember the name.
play by play
Morning Pan, back to work, sigh.
Afternoon, Van. :)
Dammit, I have Zydrate Anatomy stuck in my head again.
http://repo-opera.com/
An old old friend of mine, one that I actually knew for more than two years, contacted me two days ago. I’m all mushy with pleasant resurfacing memories.
So while I am being all mushy, I wanted to say that all of yall are awesome. Thank you Jack for having an awe… no, an *excellent* playground here.
Party on, Nomad.
Thanks for the mush, Nomad. This playground makes me happy too. No more than 2 at a time on the blig slide.
Your comment is free, cynful. I’m guessing it was the combination of a link and the word “anatomy” that scared the spam filter.
Melons!
Hi, Deadpan. Wow, work is rotten. But at least I have work. But, wow.
Good day, all. My contact is spotty as we are going on an unplanned internet free adventure at home. Comcast is supposed to have someone out to look at it tomorrow afternoon. It’s frustrating because I have an internet connection by all observable measures….I’m just losing about 90% of all my packets.
They just better get it fixed by Thursday morning or I’ll have to go Deadpan on their asses.
I guess Ed’s pipes need cleaning. ;)
still sick. blah … fever to I think.
anyone heard from TEB? Wonder how she is holding out.
That’s gotta be frustrating beyond belief, Ed. Comcast doesn’t seem to realize that the internet is not a big truck. It’s a series of tubes.
at least (at last check) my packets weren’t spotty.
I just hope the guy doesn’t arrive with a roto-rooter to fix things!
She hasn’t on Facebook since yesterday jj.
… hmmmm, and Ed is suffering from unexplained (and slightly embarrassing) World Wide Tube failure … interesting.
Coincidence ?
MS Word can eat it.
J0e, I believe the problem has been the freezing, skull-numbing chill across the hemisphere. Maybe if we all huddled our cockles together for warmth. . .
. . . I think I’ve overstepped my bounds there. . . .
I don’t think you’ve overstepped your cockles bounds, Jack.
breast,

It was a typo in my e-mail Jack….
Insomnia, the new creative drug.
*swooooon?*
Ooh, a new Love Long and Prosper episode is released. #103: Excellent is the New Awesome. Just thought I’d share.
About the Watchmen Skype conference, we are thinking a west coast early afternoon time to give everyone the most possible availability. Does this work for most?
CP: Stranger Than Paradise — Sass Jordan
Cj: Fine by me.
Cj, how far behind is the west coast time compared to Arizona?
Oh yeah……………………………………
I spaced on mentioning this.
Maybe 1:00pm, AZ standard time (12:00pm Deadpan Standard Time and currently PST) on Sunday, February 22 for the Watchmania call?
Van, I think that would be about 8:00pm for you?
Thanks Jack, 8pm is a bit inconvenient for me, but I’ll try and rearrange things if it’s a good time for everybody else.
Just an added bit, we are totally open that day so no worries on adjustments at our end. Whatever the consensus is will work for us.
Some people like to do Oscar night activities and that is the same day too.
It’s shortly after 9pm for you right now, isn’t it, Vanamonde? If my calculations are correct, you’re at Deadpan Standard Time (currently about 1:17ish – - check this comment’s timestamp) + 8 hours? What is a convenient time for you on that Sunday?
Everyone else speak up too, plz, with your preferred times. I’m easy.
For the most part, I’m keeping that day open. I’m willing to go with the consensus, but I agree with Jack, we should try and make it convenient for Van.
BTW, I’m +2 from Deadpan ST.
21:26 now
For me either anytime after 23:30 GMT or anytime before 18:30 GMT.
But as I said I can probably arrange things if the 1pm your time is more convenient for everybody else.
For those interested in such things, here are annotations for Watchmen.

I get a bit worried when the words ‘possible symbolism’ are used in anger.
But cool link ditto.
Hey everyone,
I am going to have to miss the 2/22 conversation. It’s my dad’s bday, and we’ll be out of town until late that night. Sorry!
EssBee: You can submit your comments/points to one of us so that you’ll be represented.
EssBee: But we’ll still miss you.
Definitely missed.
There you go! Will one of you pretend to be me? Do the voice and everything?
EssBee, if you record comments, questions, bits.. we can play them during the show and make it sound like you were there the whole time.
And we can append everything with “So sayeth the voice of EssBee.”
CP: You Can Leave Your Hat On — Joe Cocker
CW: Being Human Episode 2
We do have EssBee’s “Oh Canada” audio. . .
Ooh! I could sing!
Music generated by feeding stock figures in MS Songsmith:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-BZfFakpzc
I’m reminded of the first Dirk Gently novel..
You will be missed, EssBee. But – happy birthday to EssBee Sr. I hope you’ll want to/be able to contribute some kind of audio.
So – does 4:30pm AZ time work then, for everyone? That would be 23:30 Vanamonde Standard Time, 6:30 EST, 5:30 CST, 3:30 PST.
How much time should we set aside?
45 minutes to an hour? It’s also ok if you need to bail early.
[being nosy]
since I’m so out of the loop, whats this big meet up all about?
[/being nosy]
To talk about the Watchmen graphic novel.
Ah, cool :)
Thanks ditto
So, my hubby, Dan, did an interview for iProng and it appeared in the recent issue on page 11. We may be famous someday.
http://www.iprong.com/magazine/iProngMagazineIssue34.pdf
Way to go, Dan! You guys are new media superstars.
cold has moved to my ears (huh wha …??? did you say something) and a chest cough. cough. cough.
meh.
that is all.
Today I reamcted THAT scene from Dracula minus the Count.
Drac – THAT scene and counting …
One! a ha ha ha
… Houston, we have Drac-off
Cj: Cool about Dan. Too bad the train wreck is on the cover. ;)
Vanaomnde, you mean you turned into a man-sized pile of rats?
Well I was thinking of the shaving scene.
A man size pile of rats that can shave ?
A man size pile of dim sum that can shave?
just not right
CP: Paradise in me — K’s Choice
CP: Rhime of the Ancient Mariner – Iron Maiden
You know I have no idea what dim sum is and I’m wary about googling it.
It’s safe, Van. And yummy.

… how ever … be warned -

Happy Wednesday, PanPeople.
My internets are back out to catch dolphin and sea turtles….or something like that.
Turns out that both my cable modem was dying…any my brand new router, while all nice and blinking lights everything looks okay on the outside, was apparently very clumsy and dumping my packets all over the floor instead of sticking them in my computer like its supposed to.
So, cable modem has been swapped out. I’m back to using my old router (that I replaced because has started randomly freezing into a block of ice every few hours) and the new router is going back to Amazon for replacement.
You know, I got concerned scrolling back through with all these messages about how everyone was going to miss EssBee. I’m glad to hear it’s for a birthday celebration.
I do think it would be cool if she can record some bits for Dan and CJ to drop into the conversation and be there in voice, if not live.
Any suggestions yet on topics/questions? As something of a closer, I would like to know, after having read the novel, what people are most looking forward to in the movie….or are most afraid of having screwed up in the movie.
From what I see, it looks like the plan is about 2p central time, which is fine for me.
btw – nice interview CJ. I’ll have to start checking that magazine out in the future.
CP: The Kiss — The Cure
Ed,
I think we were aiming for 4:30 AZ time which will be 5:30 Central at least that was the last I saw unless I missed a message.
I won’t really be able to formulate any questions all my own until I’ve read more, but if you all post questions/topics I’d be happy to keep a shareable document of them.
I like the idea of posting them on the board because that way (at least for me) I can think about them as I’m actually reading along.
CPIMM: Barbie Girl – Aqua
Please send help or lyrics to anything else to make this go away.
Cj: I agree. I think it is supposed to be 5:30 CST.
As for questions, I suppose it depends on what format we want to go with: round-table or moderator. If it’s a round-table format then we don’t need questions. Still, it might be nice if we did have a set of discussion points.
You want us to post them here?
For Cj:
You’re so gorgeous I’ll do anything!
I’ll kiss you from your feet
To where your head begins!
You’re so perfect!
You’re so right as rain!
You make me
Make me hungry again
Everything you do is irresistible
Everything you do is simply kissable
Why can’t I be you?
Or, how about this?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USz6bjhzCOs
Actually, we should put off posting discussion points until everyone is done. We don’t want any spoilers to pop up.
Welcome back from internexile, Ed.
I’ll create a mainpage Deadpan post for suggested Watchmen topics, so we don’t have to scroll through comments about hairy dim sum and Facebook to find the relvant discussion points.
Ah, I must have missed a post myself. Still, 5:30 here in Texas would still work for me.
….um, do I even want to know what caused that CPIMM, CJ?
Of course, now it’s CPIMM2.
Mmmm the Cure is delicious.

As for Aqua’s first hit..the video for that song had a homage to Gerry Anderson’s puppet series at the very beginning (the Aquascope logo).
So now you know.
NO
The Cure is not helping me. :(
I grow tired and surly of this cold.
No one gets to feel good BAH!
Put this in your CPIMM

So just chatting to a friend using the latest version of skype, the audio quality seems quite impressive for a VOIP client, I can hear her spoon hitting the cereal bowl as she munches on Crunchy Nut Cornflakes.
Hello all, our daughter Iris Fey was born February 10, 2009 at 5:45PM CST!
She weighed 7lb 9oz and was 20″long. The pediatrician told us today she appears in perfect health. Darcy is resting well, and we all should be home tomorrow.
Booyah sir.
Best wishes for all!
I’m thinking that the cash strapped communication industry’s idea to raise money by letting people pay for a chance to steer satellites around with their Wii controllers … may be a bust.
