Just today I was singing to myself: "Pee-Wee's Christmas, Merry Merry Christmas." A classic! Har, I was thinking that it’s time to break out the Christmas special, too!

I thought it was my brother's but it's Ben's. (The other Ben.) No, we're not letting Max read or see it yet, based on hearsay but that's all I have to go on right now. Yep, PW on PD (have not seen): http://remote.lohudblogs.com/2007/11/20/paul-reubens-talks-about-pushing-daisies/ I have to tell my brother (that Ben!) We were just cracking up the other day saying "Grace, back in the box!" I found the book in the library (the home version–you know, the room with all the shelves?)

I have to tell my brother (that Ben!) We were just cracking up the other day saying “Grace, back in the box!”

We will probably still see it too. I'm nearly done with the book and prepared to be disappointed by the movie, but one of the commenters on the second post mentioned that it was nice to see all of the fantastic elements of the book rendered visually, and I realized that I'm looking forward to that, too. Anne, I'd say no for the book for Max for a while. I know he's an advanced reader, but the book really deals with a lot of losing the innocence of childhood themes, and I think it's too much (and a bit incomprehensible) for a kid under 10. The movie takes a lot of those themes out, but I think leaves the violence in. YOU should read it, though! If you want to get off my hit list, that is. :) We still miss Arrested Development, too, sigh. But STOP THE PRESSES -- Pee Wee is in Pushing Daisies?!?!?! Oh no, another TV show to watch! He did also guest star on a 1st season episode of 30 Rock, with Tina Fey, my new TV girlfriend. Good links, Daniel. We will probably still see it too.

Also, I read somewhere that it's too violent for younger kids. I never read it, so you'll have to put me on your librarian hit list! (They do keep hit lists, don't they?) "Juno," wow, how happy that my tv husband, the totally underrated Mr. Bateman, is getting work! And his little Arrested Dev't son! How I miss them! It's hardly worth getting up out of bed knowing that AD is no more. SIGH I need to get into "Pushing Daisies" for the Pee Wee factor, but I just haven't the strength. "Control"--get it on Netflix. I probably couldn't stay up long enough to watch a triple feature (pushing 40 is SUCH hard work!), but it would go well with "Party Monster" and "Sid & Nancy." “Golden Compass” got mixed reviews.
