  1. The first Pee-wee movie was wonderful, the second one TERRIBLE. I like Paul Reubens a lot but I don’t think that another Pee-wee film is a good idea. OH WELL.

  2. I just don’t know if it’ll work to have a sixty-year-old Paul play Pee Wee Herman (not that I’d ever want to see anyone else do the character). At least with the recent Broadway show there didn’t have to be any medium to close-up shots showing all the wrinkles covered with pancake makeup.

  3. I never want to see the character ever again and still do not understand how adults found him funny. I did like Reuben in the Cheech and Chong movies though. I am not even making my Pee Wee theater joke,lol

  4. LOOKING AT THIS SCREENSHOT AND THE PHOTO IN THE POST BELOW THIS ONE, I THINK THE GUY THAT PLAYS PETE CAMPBELL SHOULD TAKE OVER AS A NEW GENERATION OF PEE WEE HERMAN. THE LIKENESS IS UNCANNY.
