Cool News
Judd Apatow gives Pee-Wee Herman another big adventure!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with the news of the day, in my opinion. We all knew Paul Reubens has been trying to get a new Pee-Wee movie off the ground for a while. He's said there have been two scripts written, one a little more like the TV show the other a little more like the first Tim Burton movie.
The bad news is I don't think either of those movies are happening, but the good news is Judd Apatow is using his powers for good and is developing a new Pee-Wee Herman movie alongside Paul Reubens and Paul Rust, who is co-scripting this new flick with Reubens. Apatow will produce the flick, according to Variety.
The only bit of detail to accompany this news is that Pee-Wee will be going on some road trip. Pee-Wee could spend the whole movie writing his Christmas wish list for all I care. I'm just psyched we're getting more Herman!
I only ask that on this road trip Pee-Wee runs into one particular driver...
That's all.

I'm all for it. Wish Tim Burton was on board somehow though.
-
..see the movie that he got arrested for watching..
-
I thought Paul Reubens was dead
-
Paul Reubens seems to be getting a lot of love lately. He was showcased the other week in the LA Film Festival and hosted a screening of Pee Wee's Big Adventure. The articles about it had nothing but praise for him and his career. This is truly cool news. Personally, I'm slightly over Apatow and his formulatic chick flick for guys but this is a whole different beast.
-
And Seth Rogen as the couch should be the only Seth Rogen involved in this picture. That's fucking genius, Dharma.
-
Can't wait!
-
Speaking as someone who recently bought VIP tickets for his upcoming stage show in NYC (same show he did in L.A.) this is definitely the news of the day for me! Big Adventure is SUCH an awesome movie; hope Reubens has it in him for one final great sendoff. Ahem... "I'm a loner Dottie. A rebel."

...fucking hot dog plant for realz.

This has been on IMDB for almost a year now
by harry_knowles_here_for_benadryl
-
along this very stretch of road in a dense fog just like this. I saw the worst accident I ever seen.
-
So I'm cool with him getting another shot at a Pee-Wee movie. It's too bad that it's taken this long, though. And really, it's pretty shitty that nobody tried to help the guy make a serious comeback before now.
-
Please no Seth Rogen. No to most of the Apatow crew, in fact.
-
What he did back in 1991 was TAME to the stuff that Martha Stewart and Chris Brown has done. Even Kobe Bryant and Tiger Woods.
-
Big Adventure is precisely the type of movie he's incapable of making anymore. If he made it today, he'd muzzle Rubens out of the lead role so he could throw Depp in, add about twenty pounds of makeup and costuming on every role in the cast, replace Dottie with his wife, add in a terrible musical number of some kind, and invent some wayward and thoroughly unnecessary backstory for Pee Wee in which we see how he was 'different' from a young age and his father didn't understand.
-
I'm ambivalent about this, the first was just TOO long ago and I was never all that into the show. I liked the movie o.k. Good for Paul Reubens though; I'm glad he's getting another chance to work in Hollywood (although he's had minor roles here and there, this would I believe be his first really big lead-man type role in a long time). -Cheers
-
Why bother to sequel Pee Wee Herman when you can just reboot it with Judd Apatow's same old cast of characters and jokes. We can bring in Michael Cera for Pee Wee, Jonah Hill for the couch, and Seth Rogan as some other piece of furniture. We can feature a bunch of fuck jokes and then have Paul Reubens appear in a 10 second cameo having a good time in the back of a movie theater. With Pee-Wee Herman, the Smurfs, and Yogi Bear movies on the way, Hollywood can do no wrong. What's left these days? He-Man, Thundercats, James Bond Jr.... Im still excited for Monopoly the movie too.

Seth Rogen as the nervous-trying-to-be-nice-guy
by beyondthunderdome2girls1cupbillcosby
at the hotel desk! make it happen.
-
Just sayin'. It wasn't all bad for his career though. He did have the occasional small, but good role on shows like Murphy Brown and such. He even played the hilarious one armed vampire in the criminally maligned Buffy movie.
I'll certainly watch any Pee-Wee movie that comes out.... on one condition. Dude's gotta lose a few pounds. I don't care if he looks older, but he's packed on a lil bit of a gut. Enough where it makes the suit look awkward. I saw him on the View a couple of weeks back and it kinda looked a little sad. (Not as sad as watching the View. I know. =P) -
A Paul Reubens, Tim Burton and Danny Elfman reunion would be fucking badass! Yes, please make it happen!!! :-)

Paul Reubens once said he wanted Johnny Depp to play him
by beyondthunderdome2girls1cupbillcosby
-
I actually do wanna hear more about Simone's Big Butt. And why is Larry Amazing?
-
Particularly on TV. But it's been grinding, working actor kind of stuff. Not, "Starring Paul Ruebens", which is where he was heading before he whipped his dick out. It's understandable that his childrens series would suffer from that mistake. But I've never understood the stigma that was attached to the guy after that incident. It just wasn't that big of a deal. I've often wondered how much money he made from all the Pee-Wee merchandise that was sold. If he was getting a reasonable cut he was probably set for life back then. But still, like I said, I'm surprised it's taken this long for a "name" to reach out and try a project with him.
-
I really can no longer fucking stand Seth, and I never could stand that living breathing douche named Jonah Hill
-
It's a chair, hence the name "Chairry."
-
The 80s & early 90s were VERY good to these guys. Batman. Edward Scissorhands. Pee-Wee. Beetlejuice. The thing is, after the early 90s, their shit got tired. Both dudes are caught up in their personal styles way too much. Almost like they're parodying themselves. You can put them on Frosty the Snowman and they'd turn it into a twisted emo goth nightmare cliche.
Apatow's got a lame formula too, but at least it isn't overused by decades yet. -
...that is all.
-
No! Really! Listen!!
The sun shines bright, both day and night! -
So I have to say I'd be pretty happy to hear him return for a new Pee-Wee movie.
-
...but what does Reubens look like these days? He's got to be getting too old to pull off the Pee Wee thing without it being even creepier than it already was. I used to have a T-shirt in high school that had Reuben's mug shot on it from when he got busted. Funny shit.
-
Pee-Wee, when he started, was a bit ahead of hist time. The smaller roles gave the rest of the world some time the world to catch up to his humor level.
I always thought that he was sorta misunderstood. Something I blame on the movie. They took the character of Pee-Wee, who was intended for one audience and repurposed him for an entirely different one. Most people only saw the man-child schtick for what it was on the surface level.
I think that, today, his more mature take on the character would work a lot better. It'd evoke some nostalgia for old fans and gain some new ones with a decidedly less kiddie tone. To me, if Apatow handles it, there's a stronger chance of that happening. -
There's two sides to that story/case as well. Pretty good explanations here http://tinyurl.com/yrsfq and here http://tinyurl.com/nlxsz5 The guy was not into child pornography. But he was labeled a freak and targeted after he pulled out his dork.
-
Good sign that people are still interested on some level.
-
Come on, Simone, let's talk about your big but.
-
I remember that. I think that Jeffrey Jones, the dad from Beetlejuice, also got busted on kid porn. Must be some Tim Burton curse. =)
Worse with Jones than Reubens though, as Jones paid a 14 year old boy. At least Pee-Wee could've at least tried to argue the artistic nude defense. Probably why those charges got dropped and it never went to trial. Jones, on the other hand, got caught red handed. Dude got on the sex offender's registry. -
be playing a manchild? It was fairly easy to suspend one's disbelief twenty years ago, but will it work now?
-
"Go and fuck a goat!"
Box office gold. -
Pee-Wee's Bigger Adventure is coming.
-
Imma let you finish, But Pee Wee's Big Adventure was one of Timmy's Best Movies and one of the best comedies of all time!
Sorry for channeling my inner Kanye -
That's kinda the point. He could be 70 and the concept would still work.
There's a difference between a Will Ferrell & a Pee-Wee Herman man child. Will kinda does it for that potty humor effect. Might be really funny, but there's nothing really intelligent about it.
Pee-Wee's gag is sorta like a precocious child actor, but in reversed roles. The juxtaposition of young VS old highlight the intricacies of both. That's why an oddly mature kid will seem both odd and intriguing, causing to you question the idea of maturity. The proper man child will do the same, but also highlight the things we started to overlook as adults. And that's where the Will Ferrell man child fails. He's more like a vodka fueled infant. All fart jokes and no intelligent or insightful punchlines. As long as Pee-Wee can keep the jokes smart, even in a wink/nudge way, his age really won't matter. -
Starring Paul Ruebens... cumming in theater near you...
-
I swear I saw Morpheus go on record recently saying that if Peewee were to do another movie he would come back as Cowboy Curtis. I can't find anything to cite for this... but I'm looking anyone else hear/see that or am I crazy?
-
He's the only major star who could pull it off.
-
Judd Apatow - bad.
-
I'd go to see this!
-
dang i love pee wee and I'm thrilled he's getting to do another movie. still wish i had gotten one of those pee wee dolls when i had the chance.
-
Yean, but Tim Burton 2010 ain't the same dude as Tim Burton 1985. Sorta like saying that the high octane T2 Jim Cameron is the same as Pochadanceswithferngully Avatar Cameron. 20+ years will do that.
Plus, audience tastes are different. Better to get somebody who knows today's audience. Apatow's not 100% perfect, but Burton's pretty out of touch and trapped in a land of psychedelic x trips. Not sure that he could even connect with the material anymore. -
The EXACT reason why Burton should never be allowed near the character again. That's like making Freddy Kreuger anybody other than Robert Englund. Reubens' infused enough of himself into the character that any other person would just be a lame imitation. He owns the character in a way that no other actor could.
-
1) Tim Burton should stay far, far, faaaaaaaar away. His older movies are great, but now? ack.
2) Pee Wee got a raw deal with the whole movie theatre incident.
3) I LOVE PEE WEE -

Happened right about the time Matrix Reloaded dropped. Dude forgot how to act in a way that's NOT cheesy or melodramatic. Watch Mystic River and ask yourself if this is the same guy from Deep Cover or the 1st Matrix.

A Pee Wee & Cowboy Curtis buddy-action flick across the wastelan
by george newman
Could be epic.
Or misguided. but hopefully epic. -
I was nine, so I think that's justifiable.
-
In fact, by the end of this season the show had actually really found it's groove again. A major factor in that was the development of his character.

IS THIS SOMETHING THAT COULD CONCERN THE REST OF US
by beyondthunderdome2girls1cupbillcosby
Amazing Larry?

like Barney
-
...but if this is in any way leading up to "johnny depp as pee wee in tim burton's PEE WEE RETURNS" or something, i will not be happy about that. i hope paul reubens's involvement means that he will be for certain be playing pee-wee...also, i wonder what became of the reubens-penned pee-wee script that reubens talked about a few years ago, the one that was basically pee-wee going through a thinly veiled account of Reubens's life from porno-theatre incident onwards?

Cyndi Lauper should do a full length remake of her original them
by rsanta74
She's not exactly "today", but her Pee-Wee theme is a total theme song classic. I'd love for that to be expanded to a full length for the movie.
-
Prefer Wilder's ver so much more
-
...Depp as Willy Wonka and I hate Burton's Chocolate Factory. It's the biggest misstep of both of their careers, for me.

I have the "I'M TRYING TO USE THE PHONE" clip...
by half-baked-goggle-box-do-gooder
...as my ringtone. Never fails to get either knowing grins or incredible irritation.
What makes Pee=Wee's man-child superior to all the other man-children - Ferrell, Sandler, Schneider, etc - Is that Reubens was in on the joke, but Pee-Wee was not. You knew where the line was with Ferrell, et al, but not quite so sure with Reubens/Herman. It was one of the earliest "meta" jokes, and still one of the best. Will be very, very hard to pull off today. Hopefully, Apatow has had a corker of an idea brewing in his head for a decade or so. Would truly love to see them pull this off. -
Isn't he already doing him again on stage? Coulda sworn I saw him talk about that on ABC. Dude's sportin the suit and doing the voice again.
-
...concluding the epic trilogy in thrilling THREE DIMENSIONS!!!
-
I more worried about Apatow's underlings/dick-suckers (Jason Segel & Nicholas Stoller) having creative control over the Muppets. Pee Wee is lame, but Muppets are sacred fucking material, you amateurs
-
Pee Wee in 1985 = Awesome. Pee Wee in 2010 = totally desperate and creepy. Pee Wee isn't a character like John McClain or Rocky Balboa that can still work, he's a relic that is better left in the past.
-
Thank You God!
p.s.- please let it be funny! -

I want Cowboy Curtis and the characters from Big Adventure!
by kal reeve
They must be in it!
-
Not a bad movie, but that was my first sign that his "signature" style was more of a formula. Right down to what actors & composers he chooses to work with. Burton's not edgy anymore. If anything, he's so conservative that he won't stray too from his formula - except for the occasional Big Fish. Probably for fear of commercial failure. (I call that "Pixar Syndrome".)
Tim Burton is just the alternate universe version of M. Night Shyalaman that was actually adored being a formula following hack. -
I want to see Pee Wee grow up a little at the end and actually kiss her on the lips.
-
I knew the style before I even knew who Tim Burton was. It will be hard to capture signature style that goes so perfect with Pee Wee without him.
-
and he won't do it.
-
Don't you lay no evil down on meyou're gonna burn in hell.
-
Keaton closing in on 59, but he's still looking good enough. Plus the character's look is a shitload of makeup. IMO, that's the only old 80s Burton movie that'd benefit from the extra trippy 2010 Burton style. Bring back Winona Ryder too and that's a Tim Burton movie I'd actually see.
-
Someone tell Apatow to stay the fuck away from my childhood.
-
Would LOVE a Beetlejuice sequel. They could do it to, with nearly all the original cast.
-
gotta love it.
-
For Cult Movie Mondays here in Charlotte, and by God it was awesome. Usually I laugh at the big stuff in the movie, but this crowd was great, laughing at all the small jokes and gags too and amplifying them, to the point where there were lines I NEVER interpreted as being jokes when I was growing up, like Pee Wee telling Simone she has a "big but" and Simone telling Pee Wee "No one's ever given it to me like that" while her bf Andy listens in in the T-Rex's head at sunrise. Anyway. Hilarious movie. A true classic.
-
we let him go.
-
"Where are you from?" "I don't remember..." "Well, do you remember anything?" "I remember... The Alamo..." *crowd shouts* "YEEEHAAAWWW!!!!!!"
-
Who the hell could they possibly market this to? Anal sex jokes in a Pee Wee movie? Sanitized version of a Apatow movie (how could you not reference Reubens as a pervert)??
-

Please write a part for Morgan Fairchild in the new movie! :)
-
Ok poor attempt but you see what I'm going for..you can do better.
-
failing to register as a sex offender. Jones and Pee-Wee were both involved with the same 14 year old boy. They both took pictures of the boy and the boy reported Pee-Wee's "collection" to the cops. Reubens apparently had a better lawyer because he got away with it while Jones didn't.
-
Isn't she that pimp from Alan Moore's Top 10?
-
Never watched it as a kid. And now it's for adults? Huh? If I wanted to watch a retarded man child I'll watch Mr. Bean.
-
in a Cheech and Chong movie. Pee wee Herman was originally for adults (Man child playing with a room full of toys?
Pee Wee's original stand up was hilarious, slightly perverted and twisted. The Adult theatre was blown outta proportion.
Why he was catered to children to begin with is beyond me. -
He's good at reviving careers... :)
-
His career?

LARGE MARGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by jonchambers
-
I loved Dottie, by Daily has had so much plastic surgery that she has rendered herself a grotesque.
-
Not surprising. Child porn wasn't even illegal until the early 80s.
I'm pretty stoked for this news though. Love PeeWee. -
Never was a big fan. He got himself into that mess with the theater, and once you fuck up, especially like that, they look at you with a microscope and an imagination(yes, it can used for evil as well as good). That being said... I'm just not that into Pee Wee. Sorry.
-
Outside of his Pee-Wee Herman character that is. He's especially done some great voice acting over the years. But it's awesome to see him return to the big screen playing his most famous creation. Judd Apatow is the right person to help Paul Reubens get this off the ground since he's one of the biggest figures in comedy today.
-
And news of a new film is definitely welcome. This hilarious character has been missing for too long.
-
Hilarious stuff. And you're right it wasn't a couch it was a chair named Chairry. Then there was a pterodactyl named Cherry. That always used to confuse the fuck out of me.
-
just as the Dutch have no concept of rust.
-
Pee-wee's Big Adventure is one of my favorite comedies of all time. I really, really am happy to hear this news.
-
Pee-wee's Big Adventure is one of my favorite comedies of all time. I really, really am happy to hear this news.
-
I think Paul is very good at character roles. Has anyone seen him in Blow? He also plays the Penguin's father in Batman Returns.
-
the pterodactyl was named "Terry". The only reason I remember that pop-culture nugget is that I was an avid viewer of PEE-WEE'S PLAYHOUSE back in the day. God help me.
-
So this will be direct-to-dvd or will enough people living in the mid-west get off their sister/brother, put down the moonshine long enough to buy a ticket, and allow this flick to make some money? Don't get me wrong. I know lots of people who like Pee Wee, but they also married their cousins.
-
I know that I loved Pee-Wee. Alot. I even dressed as him and won a costume contest when I was 4. Bring on the Pee-Wee!!!
-
It'll get made, hell it might even do well, but I probably won't see it. As far as I am concerned, even regardless of Reuben's personal life, I think Pee Wee's ship sailed a long time ago. Resurrecting it just seems a little far flung, to little, and way to late to me.
-
Judd Apatows movies are half movies/ half Apple advertisements.
Fuck I Tunes. Limewire’s where its at! Its FREE morons!!!
-
I have a Pee-Wee T-shirt
-
Bringing it back never works.
-
Yes please!
-
What if some one stole jambi and they forced him to make evil wishes. Carrot Top would be a cool villain or a sidekick.
-
I remember one of the radio stations using the sound of a balloon blowing up to represent Pauls cock getting and erection. All that shit talk like these fuckers werent jacking it off every nowe and then to a magazine or a vhs porno in the privacy of their own home. Everyone spanks the fucking monkey. Everyone, even Stanley Kubrick. That shit was fucking wrong! So happy people stop being so ohhhh no about sexuality in the 90's. Fuck the 60's were not it. The 90's said we can get a girl to fuck 500 dudes. We'll put a guy on the radio name Howard that will talk about it like it is. Comedys will pussy fart fuck shit fag out as much as they can.
-
Cool. News.
-
Please don't compare Tim Burton to James Cameron. Tim Burton is a joke now, doing nothing but remakes starring Johnny Depp and his wife with very few redeemable features. As someone else said, he's a parody of himself now, drenching each and every one of his films in his unhealthy gothic obsession. Cameron has made two movies in the past 15 years, both FAR from his Terminator roots, but still beautiful movies which both took the world by storm like few movies ever have. I don't disagree that Avatar wore it's influences proudly, but it's a movie about 5-10 years ahead of it's time that looks like nothing before it. A far cry from Tim Burton, who could think of nothing better for his latest venture then another version Alice and Wonderland, like we needed that. Cameron has never rehashed his own movie or style, even when he did a sequel. That's legit.
-
First it was that whole thing in the porno theater, then the cops raided the playhouse and found those photos. Now PeeWee is on the lam, fleeing cross country on his bike as the cops are closing in to the notorious "PeeWee the Pedo". Load's 'o' laffs!
-
Another Avatar hater from back in the day. Cameron is still at the top of his game; Burton is a dead loss now.

Why did Pee Wee choke his chicken in the porn theater anyway?
by turd_has_risen_from_the_grave
That's something old bums in raincoats do. Surely Reubens, weird character though he was, could get laid thanks to his stardom? You've got to be fucking desperate to whip it out in the theater, that's for sure.
-
I am a huge fan of burton. but this is very very very funny.
http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=bFzLRP8e4vE&playnext_from=TL&videos=8BZtDHR8E0Q&feature=sub -
has killed creativity. and he has done through technology and I have seen all of his film. but he is not on his own. now all films are going to made in 3d. that will be camerons legacy. and I cant believe people support him. I have seen avatar.
-
Do we really want to see a 60 year old man with a history of public masturbation, wearing heavy makeup and acting like a silly little boy? I give it a creep factor of 87%.
-
The song goes -
"The Stars at night, are big and bright..."
I quote this whenever I am in a chatroom and meet someone from Texas and see if they finish their part.
-
My best friend in High School had 2 Pee-Wee dolls that had a pullstring and quoted various Pee-Wee sayings.
He placed both dolls around the radio antenna on his Chevy S-10 hugging each other.
So we would drive all over with Pee-Wee holding himself in public...
It was slightly prophetic. -
Rueben sandwich, hold the pickle.
-
Regarding Reubens appearence on "The View", I saw it and frankly it came off as a little creepy. Reubens should stick to playing Pee Wee on screen or on stage. Not guest appearances.

http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=28254 -
I've wanted this to happen for years, it's a crime that Paul Reubens got blacklisted for something everyone is guilty of (that is to say masturbation)
-
As long as both those lines resurface, preferably said to FRAN-CIS, I'm in.
-
Perfect casting!
-
Even as a child I knew Big Top Pee Wee was terrible.
-
I have seen Apatow's stand up and he sucks. He has no delivery. The best thing about Judd is that he's good at finding talent. I mean look at the cast of Freaks and Geek and Undeclared. He's great at finding talent and helping develop people. But he sucks as a writer/director. His movies have way too much improv. And I'm all for improv, but when scenes start dragging, it hurts a movie. I like 40 Year Old Virgin, but Knocked Up and Funny People suck. I was really psyched for Funny People cause I heard it was about stand up and showing stand up like you never see. But the movie wasn't about stand up. The first 30 minutes was about comedy. Then it gets into this wannabe drama about Sandler and Mann. I mean the last hour of the movie is Judd getting his family into the movie. He's too self-indulgent and he's going to turn into the M. Night of comedy. He wants to be a star. I mean he goes in the Tonight show just to keep his face out there and he tells lame jokes/stories about himself. He's a douche. I just hope this new Pee Wee movie is good. Stay away from Pee Wee's playhouse. If they can take Pee Wee's Bog Adventure and fuse it with his old Pee Wee show that was turned into an HBO comedy hour (It's on DVD, check it out.) I don't want a dark Pee Wee movie and I don't want a kiddie Pee Wee movie. Maybe get Michel Gondry to direct it. If they pull off a great Muppet movie and a great Pee Wee movie, I'd be psyched.
-
Or am I wrong here
-
He inherited his dads fortune and does....something.
-
I'm not sure what makes me happier, this news, or Jason Siegel working on a new Muppet movie.
-
To those hoping to see Francis, the badass bike or any of the characters from "Big Adventure" in the new film. Don't count on it. "Pee Wee's Playhouse: The Movie" will be strictly adapted from the hit children's show, except Paul talked about how the movie will not be taken place in that house. It will be taken place in the outside world. Maybe Pee Wee's bik will return, don't know, but don't get your hopes up.
-
Please educate yourself before posting.
-
PAGING PEE W HERMAN!
-
did have a few interesting things to me: 1. I never could figure out how Kris Kristofferson could be happy fucking a 1 inch tall wife, or even the logistics of it 2. Benecio Del Toro was the dog-faced boy 3. a pre-Saved by the Bell Screech was in it as one of the kids (and he ended up more famous for his dick that Reubens ever did) 4. it had the always beautiful Valeria Golino, who I'd watch in just about anything to hear that voice come from those lips
-
showcases the genius of Burton, NOT Reubens.
And Reubens is nearly 60 for fucks sake. A 60 year old man playing a man-child? Creepy doesn't begin to describe it... -
was asked to reprise Cowboy Curtis for the stage show that's currently running on Broadway. He declined as his CSI schedule wouldn't allow the time needed for a Broadway run, but he said that if they made another Pee-Wee film, which they were talking about, that he would then return for Cowboy Curtis
-
Reubens himself said that Cap'n Carl will not be recast, as he could not see anyone else but Phil Hartman in that role

for those who said Pee-Wee is past his sell by date
by aka_gern_blanston
the immensely popular and lucrative Broadway show currently running begs to differ
-
How about month? This is awesome.
-
was a weird attempt to show Pee Wee as a heterosexual stud instead of an asexual (and possibly pedo or gay) man child. Keep the dick in the pants this time, paul - michael jackson was adored for being a white-faced mock-innocent kiddyfile, and so are you!
-
. . . was doing the Sat.Morning kids' show. His real material is for adults and can only be seen in 'The PeeWee Herman Show' and 'Big Adventure.' His new flick should be directed by the NEXT Tim Burton, not the new HAS-BEEN Burton.
-
Had some of the most quotable lines and holds up as a comedy classic. Bizarre, absurd, inappropriate and hilarious! I liked his stage version of Pee Wee before the movie and TV show, it was edgier. Look forward to the new movie. Let Burton direct and Elfman score and it is golden!

Pee Wee was never charged with kiddy porn though
by turd_has_risen_from_the_grave
Just to make that clear. He had black and white art books from the 30's containing child nudes or something, but I think they were legal. No, the man is only guilty for jerking his sausage in a porn theater, which is no crime in my eyes, because it would only be travis bickle types in there anyway. The only questions are - did he shoot his load into his popcorn bucket or over the seats, and did the arresting officer cuff his strong right hand or his left? The mind boggles.

Also, Pee-Wee and Aptow are a terrible combo. Hopefully he just produces, and Rubens and someone interesting someone interesting co-write/direct.

OH REALLY where are they HOSING HIM DOWN??

LOL...yea a Large Marge cameo would be awesome. But I'm pretty sure that actress has passed away.................which would make a new cameo from her even more creepy and appropriate.
-
We had Mr Bean.And before anyone starts to tear Mr Bean to shreds, the first 3 or 4 TV specials were a masterclass of comedy.But it soon decended into shitness and that gawd awful movie.
-
Never been in one nor do I ever intend to be in one. Do they have people constantly monitoring the audience? If so, seems like entrapment. Who wouldn't have a hard time fighting the urge to jerk off? I'm curious as to how exactly Reubens was caught.
-
I loved the shit out of Benny Hill as a kid.
-
that Large Marge won't be cast. It's expensive not to mention hard to dig up and animate a corpse... Alice Nunn (Who played L.M. in the movie) has been dead since 1988.
Maybe her sister Small Mol, though? :) -
In a twist, it turns out there really is a basement in the Alamo. Jimmy Hoffa is buried there.
-
But when you see Reubens doing his act, his age comes through that cake makeup. He's slower and less sharp than 80's Pee Wee was. He voice is huskier. Pee Wee's best scenes are when he's being a smart ass. When you reach 50+ , you're just not as funny because of the humor inherent in the rebelliousness of youth. Sad but true. I hope he can pull it off.
-
I don't get it. I like Pee Wee, but you're calling him that for saying he doesn't? Look up the term overreaction in the dictionary, dude. you stay classy, San Diego!
-
...that's 90% snoozefest.

Wow, maybe Peewee's Third Movie Adventure will be rated R for "pervasive language and sexual content & dialogue" with Peewee fondling a female character and wanking off at the porno movie screening while dressed in gay Peewee suit. Peewee's dialogue will be comprised of "Fuck, shit, tits, cunt, cocksucker, piss, motherfucker". Judd Apatow have a filthy mind reflective of his filmography (Ben Stiller's short-lived tv show was an abominable tripe, ditto his utterly lame garbage films), unless he's willing to produce a PG-rated film.
-
Not sure why people are saying Burton needs to return. Pee Wee character was created before the Burton movie and was very successful post-Burton on Pee Wee's Playhouse. Now my question is will this be the R rated Pee Wee movie that Paul Ruebens has promised for a while now? It would be stupid to make this movie for younger auidences because kids today have no idea who Pee Wee is.
-
Now, if he decides to pass the torch after this, he should get Jim Parsons from Big Bang Theory to be the new PW. Bazinga!

the second one was bad enough to anger me.

OK. I just looked up some of his recent stage show on Youtube.
by ironhelix
He still looks the part. I don't know how, but it still works. If you look close, you can tell he's much older, but it's not so much that it ruins it. Guy's got some good genes.

HES A COMEDY GENIUS
-
in his early days and he was an innovatory. what nobody knew and it was kept secret untill a few years ago is this. benny hill was instrumental in getting mr bean on tv and he met with rowan atkinson shortly before he died. and it was benny hill who suggested the mister bean movie. Benny hill loved silent comedy and he was a huge fan of rowan atkinson. that sketch with atkinson as the headmaster doing the rollcall is one of the all time greats.

I KNOW SPECK!

Does anyone remember the episode of 227 where Pee-Wee held everyone hostage in a storage room?
bighouse pee-wee = jailhouse hijinx
big time pee-wee : after taping the Conan O'Brien show on NBC in early 2010, paul reubens is walking across the parking lot to his car to leave. suddenly, a billowing coat on a bicycle nearly takes him down, dropping something in the scramble. paul notices the object on the ground as he's about to get into his car. it's the size of a baseball and has the texture of a pinecone. he picks it up and sees that there's a bit of string with a ring at it's end dangling from the sphere. he pulls the string. there's a sound of thunder in the distance, and the sensation of a punch in the nose. he sees an apple rolling back and forth over the arc of a rainbow, and then he's on the set of Pee-Wees Playhouse during the late Eighties.he realizes he's done this before , and that he's truly gone back in time. then he flashes around other periods of time that have taken place during his lifespan. for example, he flashes onto the set of "The Crow" just in time to prevent Brandon Lee from dying. He saves Frank Zappa at one point who goes on to become president. Stuff like that. Ultimately, paul has to choose between being able to go back in time and manipulate it to his advantage "career wise", or accepting time as he had known it thus far.

Seth Rogan, Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd Jason Siegel and token hot blonde actress...this flick will rely ENITRELY on Reubens...which isn't that big a risk since the original pee-wee flicks are vastly underrated just like the bill and ted movies
-
De Niro as Jombi! This could be great
