I like the idea that the ultimate doomsday machine is actually a doomsday deterrent. My ancient survival instincts tell me something is fishy about the article though, and I tend to think it is more likely that the blueprints got drawn out and then the project was forgotten. That’s why no one knows about it.

Or it’s just a bunch of scifi goodness.

EssBee – Colorado weather. Or Chicago. Only been there once but the temp shifted about 50 degrees, one day to the next. Crazy.

Van – What does “load of old cobblers” mean? I thought a cobbler was an apple, and a load of old apples … yeah, I’m not getting it.

A lil pricey for me, though (ie, you can’t put in a dollar and move the claw around to try and pick it up)

I’m talking to this person and I can’t help feeling there is a door that we both want to walk through, but can’t admit to the other person that we want to walk through that door.

…and on that load of old cobblers I’ll say night pan.

It does seem like Pee Wee is constantly struggling to repair his image.
It’s like he’s unraveling a sweater, but someone keeps knitting. . . a-ha-hand knitting. . . a-ha-hand knitting. . . a-ha-hand knitting. . .

I’m very much looking forward to the movie. I’ll have to consume the graphic novel first. It’ll help me be more critical towards the film.

First off, really not work/child friendly. That being said, this is friggin’ brilliant. Yet another example of the “new media” kicking ass. IMO vastly superior to 99% of the drek the mainstream commercial entities put out.

Dan and I have always enjoyed the Pee Wee stuff, but after seeing him on Leno last night, I have to agree with UsedHair. Reubens looks old. They had to keep pulling the camera back. The voice is still there, but his responses were clearly setup and seemed canned.

I don’t know if I’m disappointed or just a little demystified. I’ll always love his movies… but….

… and yet half the time, I can’t recall my own phone number!

I think the details stuck with me because;
(a) I liked his Pee Wee characture a lot and was really disappointed in Reubens’ penchant for self destruction.

(b) The very “under reported” outcome of that case which really seemed to have the stench of an over zealous District attorney who was “out to get” Reubens.
