Pee Wee returns to the big screen!'! Please God Yes!!!

AND PORNO!

Anyway, forget about the porno theater thing, big deal, wasnt he involved in kiddy porn and sexual abuse with Mr. Rooney from Ferris Buellers Day Off?

Sure, it was NOWHERE near as good/funny as Pee-Wee's Big Adventure ... but it had it's moments. But I think Pee-Wee's time may have long since passed ... and even all these years later he's only remembered (by the general public) as the guy who got caught jacking off in a porno movie theatre (even though that's not terribly out there ... it was a PORNO theatre afterall ... it's not like it was some Family equivalent to Finding Nemo of the day)

Deep in the Heart of Texas. Yo I'm up for some new PW action.

I wonder if Benicio Del Toro will reprise his role as the dog-faced boy from Big Top...

Dude, you forgot the original Buffy movie! Shame!

I love Pee Wee's Big Adventure, I watch it anytime they play it on the movie channels. I agree too that I was pretty young when he got in trouble but I couldn't give a shit and didn't understand how it changed Pee Wee's Playhouse. This will go great with the DVDs of the Playhouse coming out in November. PLEASE MAKE MORE PEE WEE MOVIE'S.

"Are you kidding? He's got at least a V8 on that thing!" The only reason I stop for "Meatballs".

My God, he's like nails on a chalk board. Like a laughing Fran Dresher. Like David Spade on a more whinny day. Pee-Wee sucks, why would anyone think he's even remotely entertaining? I don't get it.

Actually, Reubens had already stopped making Pee-wee's Playhouse when it got cancelled. He had wanted to stop so he shot the last two seasons back to back and then moved on with his life. That's why he had such long hair at the time of his arrest. The last episodes had already played and it was in reruns at the time of the scandal. So never fear, you did not miss out on any episodes. There were no more. So there you go, your childhood trauma can end. I gave you back your childhood. Your welcome. p.s. You're right about Big Top Pee-wee though. It's the second best Pee-wee movie of all time.

Ah shit, I was correcting Quint. Not Herc. Herc is the guy who makes me feel like maybe I actually didn't like Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Quint is the other guy. Sorry Quint.

...in the Buffy movie is one of the funniest things I've ever seen in a film. Not a big Pee-Wee fan, but good for you, Rube.

Paul Reubens acknowledged possessing 170 images of minors engaged in sexual conduct when he entered a guilty plea for possessing kiddie porn.........................................http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/news/a/2004/03/19/national1614EST0711.DTL

He's a very talented man, and I can't wait to see a new Pee Wee film

pee-wee was fantastic. If only phil hartman could be involved. Plus, it'd be great to get Paul Chadwick back for it.

Mekka-lekka-high, mekka-hiney-ho! Mekka-lekka-high, mekka-chonny-ho!

Heh. Paedophile jokes. Highly classy.

PEE-WEE'S BIG ADVENTURE is without a doubt my favorite movie? What? I'm strange for saying that? I know you are, but what am I?

Glad to see Paul Reubens has taken some time off of jacking off in the porno theatre and collecting child porn, so that he had time to make another movie. The movie should be all about Pee Wee buying a rusty ice cream truck and driving around the neighborhood, sans pants, asking kids over the loudspeaker "Hey Kid, you want some candy ?!?" Sick Fuck.

Paul Rubens pleaded guilty to a reduced charge, had to register as a SEXUAL OFFENDER, and was FORBIDDEN from having contact with MINORS. Hardly sounds like being "cleared", does it?

I don't know!!!!!!

as a self-ironic, rated R comedy. Those of us who liked Pee Wee's kids stuff are all grown up now. It'd also be a chance to tap into our collective fascination with the idea of kids entertainers being secretly flawed, ie: urban legends that Mr. Rogers was a convicted child molester and the kids show host who accidentally signed off with "that oughta hold the little bastards." If anyone involved with the movie is reading this, I can write up a treatment that follows this concept.

I know you are, but what am i, brother?!

Kiddie porn is a child- someone who isn't sexually mature yet. When someone is described as a pedophile, it's because they are sexually aroused by pre-pubescent children, and it's a legitimate mental disorder. Being accused of possessing "material depiciting minors in explicit sexual situations" means that the people in the pictures/movies are under the age of 18 (in America) and are seen completely nude and/or engaging in sex acts. They are usually teenagers, quite often 16 or 17 years old, and in most states are over the age of consent (which ranges from 12 to 18, but is 16 in most states). NOW, if it's OK for a person to have sex when they're 16 years old, according to state law, then why is it not OK for someone to watch them having sex? Maybe some of you aren't old enough, but I remember watching Traci Lords pornos when I was a teenager, never knowing that she was the same age as me at the time! She fooled a lot of people. She surely didn't seem to mind what was happening, and her coworkers didn't mind, and her viewers and fans didn't mind. Her parents weren't part of the question. The only reason her movies were taken off the shelves is because of some puritanical bullshit laws that say teenagers aren't supposed to have or enjoy sex. Otherwise, everybody involved in that situation had no argument with it. Removing the films from the shelves doesn't erase the fact that she had lots of sex as a teenager (and was paid for it). She wasn't coerced into it, either; She came to THEM and asked for a job. TEENAGERS HAVE SEX! It's what we're SUPPOSED to do when we're teenagers! Certainly it's a little creepy and lecherous for some 60-year-old guy to be jacking off to a 16-year-old girl, but it's not perverted. Hell, the Pepsi advertisements with Bob Dole and Britney Spears make it clear that it's on everybody's mind! WE'RE ALL HUMAN. WE ALL DIG SEX! Why do we let a few biblethumping jerkwads ruin it for the rest of us? ANYWAY... To get back to my point, Paul Reubens may have been watching teen porn (I don't know. I wasn't there) and been accused of viewing sexually explicit material featuring minors. That does NOT mean he's into kiddie porn or is a pedophile. It means he likes pretty people who are in the prime of their sexual life. It means he likes perky breasts, flat stomachs, buff bodies, and no wrinkles, but it doesn't mean he's jacking off to 6-year-olds. Now, I don't know if he WAS jacking off to 6-year-olds, and if he was that's pretty sick, but if he's being persecuted for looking at 16-year-old titties, well- I don't know a man or lesbian alive that WOULDN'T enjoy looking at 16-year-old tits. Hell, you all watched Thora Birch in American Beauty, and I KNOW half of you had an orgasm from that scene at one time or another. She was pretty. She has beautiful breasts and a lovely body (and a pretty face, too). She's a sexually-active human being. There's nothing wrong with finding a fully-developed woman who is well past puberty sexually attractive, even if the numbers on her driver's license don't add up to 18. What is it about 18, anyway? How is that a magical number? Do people suddenly gain good judgement or have a stronger ability to resist the evils of the world after their 18th birthday? I knew when I was 15 that I was ready to have sex; Most girls know when they're 14 (I was a late bloomer). Most guys are ready and in their prime from 16 through 22 years of age. It's normal. It's natural. The only reason it's been made to seem "bad" is because puritans believe that 18 is some magic number that changes a person. It doesn't. PUBERTY changes a person, and that happens a lot earlier than 18. So if he was only jacking off to 17-year-old tits, leave Pee-Wee alone. He wasn't being a perv. You'd all do the same, and YOU KNOW IT. (Of course, if it IS truly pedophelia, and he was into 8-year-olds, then he needs to be locked up).

I'd like to see another Pee Wee movie with a riff on a classic film. That's the way to go. Most of his style is based on retro pop culture. Any suggestions?

But as an actor, do you really think Rubens, or anyone would want to play TO his mistype? The guy has had legal battles trying to fight that sort of stuff and its bad enough his name is tarnished and now you want him to make a film depicting it, coming off as semi-autobiographical? Are we talking "M" meets Pee-Wee's Playhouse? You'd have a 90 minute skit like that creepy scene with Rodney Dangerfield in Natural Born Killers. The Pee Wee character, nor Rubens is no pedophile. Save it for the Michael Jackson biopic.

I don't think that any live action porn was involved, it was just a collection of old art photographs. But he's a "star", and we must make an example of him, or something.

Moviemac, let me tell you something...kiddie porn doesn't have anything to do with Republicans you dumbass. Find me any democrat who thinks looking at childporn is fine, as long as you don't actually do it yourself...and that person should belong in the cell next to yours. Do you really think it's ok to look at as long as you don't do it? You do realize for you to look at it someone had to molest a little kid right? Man you need serious help. Looking at kids having sex is pedophilia, plain and simple, and people need to go to jail when they do it. Now for Holly Wight. You arn't quite as big a dumbass as Moviemac, but you're still a dumbass none the less. Society has picked 18 as the line in the sand that says you're basically an adult. Sure everyone is at different maturity levels, but you can't look at everyone individually, so as a people we pick an age and that age is 18. Now when you say that it's not illigal for 16-17 year olds to have sex, and the age of consent is less than 18, you are only half right. When a person has sex with someone under 18, most state (I'm not sure if its all...but a vast majority of them) have laws stating that the persons having sex have to be within 2 years of age. I'll tell you the reason for this since you are a dumbass and can't seem to figure it out...the law is there to protect kids who are to young and to vulnerable to make good decisions about having sex. If a collage age kid is porking a 15-17 year old he is taking advantage of her, plain and simple. You so eloquently site Traci Lords as an example...well using your same example, why don't you go pick up her book and see if she doesn't think she made a mistake. She was too young to know better, and its unfortunate the law took so long to catch up with her and protect her. She knows that, why don't you? Kiddie porn is not funny, its not bible thumpers that are the only ones who have a problem with it, its intrinsically wrong. It is something that is wrong across all cultures and beliefs, we don't need religion or stuffy Republicans to tell us that. You just know it. Also, there will be a ton of young people telling me I'm full of shit, and teenagers are fine to pick who they have sex with. You know, I understand that young teens are going to be fooling around, thats human nature. But when an adult has sex with, or looks at pictures of young people having sex, thats wrong, and they need to be punished. So you young people who are about to rip me a new one, I want you to remember this, and in 15 years when you're in your 30s I want you to ponder what you would think of, say, a friend of yours having sex (or looking at pictures) of a 15-16 year old. If your not repulsed and disturbed, run to the nearest counselor and get some help. Once again, moviemac...your a criminal.

I was thinking more along the lines of "Bad Santa". That is, a kids icon whose adult characteristics slip out. I agree the pedophilia accusations should not be included (they were only about some questionable "art" anyway). But there are enough possibilities for real life parallels (wacking off to a naughty nurses porno, a long-haired mugshot)to give Pee Wee an R rated reinvention.

The basic definition of irony is "giving something meaning that is contrary to it's usual meaning". So therefore it's possible to be self ironic OR ironic about something else. And while we're at it, the basic definition of redundant is "using more words than are necessary". So therefore "repetitive redundancy" is actually redundant. But hey, nice try attempting to sound smart, MORON.

Granted, the physical onset of puberty happens much earlier than eighteen but emotional maturity comes much later. So, men, in particular, can take advantage of the undeveloped emotional state of a well-developed female, knock her up and then say

That Pee-Wee and Mr. Rooney were banging and taking pictures of a 15yo dude? I swear I did. Tell me if Im wrong.

For the love of God Harry, are you EVER going to fix it? Anyway, I see Lezbo Milk has already addressed Holly

Death to Smoochy was a pretty damn funny riff on kiddie icons gone bad. Robin Williams was actually funny in it as Rainbow "fucking" Randolph.

Methinks the gentleman doth protest too much.

Here is what you said to Klink: "Klink, uptight ass that you are, even you must know that there is a really big and really significant difference between collecting pictures that Republicans think are dirty and having inappropriate relations with minors. One's pedophilia, the other, not" That's what you said. I interpret that as follows: You think there is a difference between looking at pictures of little kids and doing the actual deed (One's pedophilia, the other, not) as you put it. You think that kiddie porn is something only Republicans think is dirty (there is a really big and really significant difference between collecting pictures that Republicans think are dirty and having inappropriate relations with minors)was exactly how you put it. So anyone with half a brain can deduce from your sickening little rant that A:) you think looking at kiddie porn is ok. And B:)you think only Republicans find it "dirty". And C:)you are a sick bastard with no sense of right or wrong. Paul Rubins was arrested for looking at Child Pornography. It may have been a 5 year old boy getting soddomized by an old man, or a 16 year old girl naked...we don't know, but either way, he's a grown man and he broke the law, and he's a sick dude with problems. As are you.

"Pedophile?" He said." That's a pretty big word for an eight year old."

I had a Pee-Wee birthday party. We had an impersonator come to the house and all the kids dressed up like Pee-Wee. My sister wore a pink tu-tu instead. "I'm a loner Dottie. A rebel." God I love him. Bring it on! Those movies still crack me up.

God, no one mentions the cameo bit Paul Rubens did for a Cheech and Chong movie. That was priceless. There he plays this abusive asshole snobby hotel clerk who both dons his Pee Wee wear on stage in a comedy club and later gets arrested! Funny in an ironic sort of way. Also Pee Wee was on the TV show The Dating Game in the late 1970's and won the date ! There must be 35 + years of Pee Wee. One more movie wouldn't hurt.

... to bad the cloistered puritans and control-freak fascists in America will never get a clue, due to the rampant brainwashing of most of the masses (sex=bad, or in the case of most late 70s/80s horror films, sex=death).

Birds of a feather? Here's another article for the apologists trying to deny that Paul Rubens is a pedophile.......................................................... http://www.villagevoice.com/issues/0303/goldstein.php .................................... All the whining apologists should read the part about "he acknowledged possessing 170 images of minors engaged in sexual conduct". Perverts.

Yes, sex with children is just plain wrong. I agree. I also agree that Traci Lords changed her mind after society put a GREAT BIG MAGNIFYING GLASS upon her and wouldn't let her continue living her life until she denounced her past life as a young porn star. I and many of my friends lost our virginity at 15, 16, or 17 in high school. The guys were, in most cases, at least 21. The "2 years difference" thing is only in a few states. Most states it's just a flat law. A certain age is OK, while the day right before you turn that age is illegal. The law saying that you must be 18 to be filmed naked is ridiculous. I'm not saying that VICTIMS shouldn't be protected, but a lot of 17-year-olds are mature enough to know what they want. I don't regret becoming sexually active at 16... I'm glad I did, in fact, since I didn't spend a lot of years with a partner I didn't like because I knew what I was looking for by the time I was looking for a lifelong mate. People who save sex for after marriage are dolts, and THAT is where these laws are really aimed. OF COURSE if someone is involved in something sexual against their will, or coerced into it when they are unable to make an informed decision it's wrong. I don't condone rape, or molestation of the innocent... But I also don't condone arresting a newly 18-year-old guy for fucking his 15-year-old girlfriend. I don't condemn arresting someone for just looking at pretty people, or wanting to see people naked once they've PHYSICALLY become adults. 18 is not a good age to wait for. It's not a fair age to use as the "standard", especially since most people are ready around 16 years of age, and men lose a lot of their sex drive around 24 years of age. Using authority to push someone into something sexual is WRONG WRONG WRONG, but consentual sex or nudity between teenagers is normal and natural. Should 50-year-olds be hitting on 15-year-olds? Nope... But not because it's perversion. It's wrong because of the authority they might misuse. Mentally-speaking, however, they are genetically wired to be attracted to people in their sexual prime. We ALL are because it's the way we're wired. I don't buy, however, that ALL 17-year-olds need to be "protected" from 30-year-olds. You simply can't give a good reason why on the day BEFORE her 18th birthday, a 17-year-old is legally forbidden to be fully sexual without restrictions, but 24 hours later she's suddenly got the "maturity" to handle it. The age is completely arbitrary. It should all be up to the individuals involved... NOT the government. Short of protecting children and victims of actual sexual assault, the government should keep their nose out of people's sexual development and sex lives.

... otherwise you would see that the linked article you posted basically is exonerating to PeeWee. Often nanny-state fascists call all who are against their controlling view "pedos", setting up the straw man that their opponents are defending kiddie-porn. The article essentially goes after these control-freak fascists (are you one, "Klink"?) who twist poorly written well-intentioned laws to further their own agendas, in this case clearly an anti-homosexual agenda of the L.A. City Attorney. No one here would support Peewee if he WERE a pedophile, but he's clearly not from the evidence presented, unless Rob Lowe is, and Nicole Kidman, and <insert multitudes of famous actor(s), musicians, politicians here>, etc. Better burn your copies of "The World According to Garp", "Superman", "American Beauty" (doesn't matter if Mena Suvari was old enough, she REPRESENTS someone not old enough)"Birth","Holocaust",Zep's "Houses of the Holy", the Rob Lowe tape, et cetera ad nauseum, because it all could be called "kiddy porn" under the poorly written statutes Falwell-ed and Feminazi-ed into law. What's next? The arrest of Jerry Seinfeld for the "Shoshanna situation"?....PS-- your "quote" is nowhere in the article at the link you posted.

Reubens has been talking about two new pee-wee movies for years now- one a formula pee-wee adventure and another based on his actual life with the ups-and-downs... I'll be seeing both...
