Hi from Joe B, freezing in NOLA (yes!) Just think, Bruce and Freeman... if our generation and Gumby had been born just a generation later than we arrived---- then Gumby would today be a multi-multi-million dollar, hand-moved motion-capture IMAX -3D extravaganza! Wonder if Gumby could have stretched that wide???? Joe PS-- Whatever could today's filmmakers do with tv's masochistic tortured-on-tv "Mr. Bill?" The mind boggles at the violence that would be incorporated today. Perhaps they could get Adam Sandler to star and then we'd be rid of him once and for all.

I'll take it over Avatar for "enjoyability" any day. I wonder what Art Clokey would have delivered if someone had given HIM a $300 million budget?
