“Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure” easily makes my personal Top 50 list of Greatest Movies Ever. Sure, it may not have been critically acclaimed, but it’s still a classic. Endlessly quotable, too. Paul Reubens apparently has written a script for a second movie (“Big Top Pee-Wee” doesn’t count, ha!), but who knows if the studios will have him after the whole you-know-what. I still love him, though. He’s due for a comeback.
I’m sure I watched one of those films at some point, but it was a very long time ago and I really can’t remember much apart from his bike getting stolen (possibly). I really want to see it again sometime.
Interesting. Someone on my Beatles forum started a Pee Wee Herman thread too. I used to watch Pee Wee Herman when I was a kid and I even watched it a few times when it was on Adult Swim. It’s alright. It was amusing, thats for sure.
Uuuugh…I hate how everything is okay until a celebrity does it. “Paris Hilton made a dirty tape? She’s Satan!!! My best friend did that, but Paris is famous!!!”
In no way am I defending Paris Hilton; that was an example. Celebrities take a lot of crap. “Famous person” does not = “role model.” I hate the hipocrisy of people…
