...addressed simply PEE-WEE, HOLLYWOOD, making him the only man with a functioning address shorter than Santa Claus'. He had publicly become Pee-wee exclusively, showing up in character even for print interviews, and having Pee-wee, not Reubens, as the name on his star on the Walk of Fame that was jackhammered up after the scandal. "This was my own private joke on conceptual art because I tried to make Pee-wee Herman totally real. It worked really good but totally backfired when I got arrested," he says...
...electronica scene, Mirwais now sets his sights on American stardom with his latest release, Production. Best known here for producing Madonna’s hit single “Music,” the 39-year old is clearly attempting to parlay his 15 minutes of fame into pop success.

What makes Along Came A Spider such a travesty is the fact that it fails even at formula. Cross may be an expert profiler, but Soneji is no "spider"-only a deluded man with deluded dreams of fame. When he confronts Cross, crying and blaming his parents for not being there for him, his cheap trauma complex is enough to make anybody grimace in disgust. This supposedly cool, calculating kidnapper is nothing but a whiny little boy filled with self-pity. Now who wants someone like that to go down in history...
