Questions for the Pezheads The Movie Pez Dispenser top

The
Pezheads The Movie Pez Dispenser is the reel deal.

Pezhead
Monthly: Thanks for joining us, Pezheads
The Movie Pez Dispenser. In the shape of a film reel
and atop a stylin' black stem, you are a limited edition
Pez dispenser available exclusively with the purchase
of the "Pezheads: The Movie" DVD (www.pezheadsthemovie.com).
How does it feel to join the Pez family, and as a
limited edition dispenser to boot?
Pezheads
The Movie Pez Dispenser: I'll tell
you, it's a great feeling. Being immortalized as a
Pez dispenser is one of the best things that can happen
to someone, as I'm sure my thousands of other Pez
brothers and sisters would agree. And to be a limited
edition on top of that? Yeah, it's totally awesome.
That honor doesn't happen to too many of us, so I
am quite the lucky duck, or, um, the lucky film reel.
True, I'll never be sold at Walgreens or Toys R Us,
but being a limited edition is a trade-off I am more
than willing to take.
PM:
What is it about being a limited edition
that is so appealing- Is it all about the Benjamins,
or is it something else?

PTMPD:
Well,
it's true that I am worth a lot more in dollars than the
average Pez you'd find in the stores- not to imply that
any Pez are average- but it's something more than that.
It's about being a part of the whole Pezheads The Movie
experience. The DVD and the Pez dispenser can go hand in
hand and it really broadens the experience, kind of like
how Mr. T used to have his own cereal, TV show, and action
figure.
PM:
That's a good point, Pezheads The Movie Pez
Dispenser. What do you make of the sordid allegations out
there that your mold was the same one used for the hockey
puck dispenser a few years back?
PTMPD:
Hmmm… so that explains it. When people
call me a hockey puck, I usually think they are trying to
do a Don Rickles impersonation. But you know what? Even
if I am based on the hockey puck mold, when they made me,
they broke the mold. Well, that was a poor choice of words
there, but my point is that I am a unique dispenser. And
really, outside of movies like "Slap Shot" and
"The Mighty Ducks," film and hockey do their own
things and it comes down to two creative ways to use the
same mold. And don't get me started on the ball mode, which
has been used on everything from Funky Faces to baseballs
and soccer balls. But my point is, they are all unique dispensers
too, and they all deserve the Pez love.

PM:
I hear you on that one. Now I don't
want to put you on the spot, but what is your favorite
Pez movie?
PTMPD:
Well, because it is a great documentary
about Pez collectors, conventions, and Pez Inc., and
also because it was, you know, integral to my creation
and everything, I would have to go with "Pezheads:
the Movie." Also, the impressive "Pez Universe"
came before it with less of a documentary feel and
more of an interactive one. Then there are those movies
where Pez played a part in the dialogue or scenery,
like "Stand by Me," "The Incredibles,"
The Client," and "E.T." to name a few.
I have to be honest, if I had ears, they would perk
up at any mention of Pez in the movies. When I come
across these movies, it always sends a warm

feeling
down my spine. By the way, let the record show that although
I don't have ears, I do have a spine.
PM:
Duly noted, Pezheads The Movie Pez Dispenser,
duly noted. Finally, if they made a movie about you, what
would it be rated?
PTMPD:
I live a clean, family-friendly life, of
course, dispensing fruity goodness to kids of all ages.
And not to toot my own filmstrip, but I really do look pretty
cool. So I would say it would be rated PG, for Pez Greatness.
Now if only Brad Pitt would return my phone calls, maybe
we can get rolling on it.

Haiku #80
I sometimes
wonder
If white dispensers are fine
After Labor Day.
For
Halloween
What
will you be for Halloween?
A pirate or a clown?
Perhaps a ninja or a witch,
Perhaps a king with crown?
A grim
reaper is always nice,
A cowboy will impress.
A caveman or a Frankenstein
Would be a sure success.
Well
as for me, I've made my choice,
I'll stick to what I know.
I'll be a Pez dispensin' fool,
'Cause that's just how I roll.

dispensers, like parachutes, only work when opened."
A
Note About This Month's Cover Image top
of page | cover page
The
cover image for this month's issue features a Pez-flavored
reimagining of one of the scariest horror movies ever:
Astute
readers of Pezhead Monthly may recall that the October
2006 issue of Pezhead Monthly also featured Egg Baby Pez
involved in some horror shenanigans:
It
should be noted that even though Pezhead Monthly
interviewed
Egg Baby Pez and found him to be absolutely charming, he
is also seen by some as a little on the creepy side. Therefore
he seemed a perfect candidate for a Pez horror movie poster
or two. However, this publication will leave the final judgment
of Egg Baby Pez's creepiness (or lack thereof) to the reader.
So
will Egg Baby Pez make another appearance next Halloween?
Stay tuned to find out!
