Star Trek: The Motion Picture is a boring movie

No one ever recalls Big Top Pee-Wee, and for good reason: even as a kid I always thought it wasn’t very good.

It was coming off the hotness of Adventure and Playhouse and the premise just couldn’t compete. It’s not necessarily bad, but I hated the way the townspeople treated Pee-Wee just because he was different. But at least it had Kris Kristofferson and Valeria Golino; they’re great.

I think it had (at the time) the longest on screen kiss in film history.

Legit sad at the news. gently caress cancer. Big Adventure and Playhouse are some of the best things ever made.

Laurence Fishburne has said that it was Reubens that gave him his big break as Cowboy Curtis and that he also helped John Singleton (who was working as a production assistant on the set of Playhouse at the time) get Boyz n the Hood made with Fishburne starring in it. That to me makes Reubens one awesome dude.

Yeah, gently caress cancer and gently caress yellow journalism for destroying his career.


That's loving wild. I had no idea about that John Singleton story.

The townspeople were right. I only remember this scene where Pee-Wee interrupts the customers ahead of him in line at the general store to get a cheese sandwich. Going into the scene you think oh the shopkeep needs to butter bread and get a pan hot, even it's a few minutes. But no, it's literally seconds that Pee-Wee could have made his sandwich himself rather than exploiting the poor food service industry worker. Who has to then interrupt other paying customers to get a pickle for Pee-Wee too.

Look at that miserable sandwich, not even a scoop of slaw.

But realtalk this loving hurts. One of my icons of queerness when I didn’t know what queerness was, but whatever Reubens was, I knew I was along those lines. He was unashamedly wacky, funny, kooky, and showed kids that gently caress everyone else, be your odd little self.

Same. He was one of my heroes since I was a kid, and I will really miss his silly and uplifting social media posts. He seemed to have a kind heart and friends of all kinds to show for it.

Again and this can't be stressed enough he plead guilty to possession of child pornography.

He wasn't prosecuted for possession of child pornography. The original charges were dropped and downgraded to "possession of an obscene image." I very much doubt any public prosecutor would do that if any actual CSAM was involved.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/...PORN-probe.html

Reubens had a very large collection of historical erotica, and from what I've read elsewhere would buy up entire collections containing many thousands of items, not necessarily viewing all of them. And also there was a historical period when child nudes were looked at as art rather than pornography.

Personally I give him the benefit of the doubt.

I can’t find the interview (could have sworn it was Conan) and misremembered that Fishburne had acted before (Apocalypse Now), but upon searching for it I did find out Rob Zombie was also a production assistant on Playhouse when he first moved to LA :aaaaa:

I tried to watch and rewatch Big Top Pee Wee so many times as a kid and I just got totally lost in the second half on what the gently caress was going on with the circus show and then all the townspeople turning into kids or something, like what?

Pee Wee's Big Adventure was great though. What do you actually call these type of movies where the plot is them going on a long pilgrimage or trip and have weird encounters and events along the way.

Like someone who was interviewed by the police was like "Hey you should check out Paul Reubens he's probably got child porn" and the police went and investigated it and then it turns out he did. So like the question is how did that witness know to specifically call out Paul Reubens if he wasn't in some way connected to that poo poo.

At the end of the day does it really matter? None of us are ever going to get to gently caress him. And perhaps that is what the real tragedy is here?

Pee-wee's Playhouse is still being sold in two parts as DVD boxsets. Might become increasingly rare now Pee-wee is dead. There are no official "complete works" sets.

Led through the mist, by the milk-light of moon, all that was lost is revealed.
Man, I always loved Pee Wee. Even as a kid, though, other kids would try to spoil it for me by telling me that he "pulled his pants down in public."

I remember the first time I saw the original stage production of Playhouse. There is that one part where Jambi gets hands in the mail, and says, "Now I can do something I've wanted to do for a long time." My dad told me he wanted to pick his nose, lol. I didn't get the joke until I re-watched it years later.

No. He had old vintage poo poo and I could only imagine there were naked babies bathing in it that almost every single human would not consider sex abuse. The initial DA dropped the charges but another person did charge him but then dropped all of the CSAM poo poo from it because I could only imagine.... there was no evidence.

So, he was never even charged with CSAM at the end of it, much less being guilty of a non-existent charge.

edit: The whole rabid pedo poo poo is just completely insane and almost 100% driven by qanon people. Yes, it exists, but not everyone is a loving pedo. Jesus gently caress.

I think, I KNOW, my mom has naked baby pics of me. Call authorities Y/N?
