The Continuing Death of Pinball

    ... that really, really, really, incredibly good-looking people like me made you feel so bad about yourself.

    Just for that, I won't be reading *your* eugoogolie!

    p.s. Errr, just kidding. I just really liked that movie; it deserves repeated viewings. If you didn't like it once, by the 5th or 6th time you might have changed your mind. Even if you hated it it has many great soundbites to pull for a pinball game.

    p.p.s. Even better, as my brother suggested, might be a video game, complete with walk-off, gasoline fight, cemetery shoot out, etc.

    p.p.p.s. "what is this, a post for *ants!?*"
