Re: [MOPO] PEE WEE'S BIG COMEBACK

Zeev,

 

I worked on several of the Pee Wee movies as I have played oboe on many of
Danny Elfman's film scores. I had heard about this and it is indeed very
interesting. Milton Rubenfeld also had a small role in Big Top Pee Wee,
where he played a character named.wait for it.HERMAN

And here is something I'm sure, most of you didn't know:   

2014 saw the release of a documentary film called Above and Beyond. It was
produced by Nancy Spielberg, the youngest sister of Steven Spielberg.

It documents the story of the handful of American, and other foreign
nationals, that were veteran flyers in the service of various Allied forces
in WWII, and went on to volunteer to the fledgling, ill-equipped Israeli Air
Force, to help defend the new state during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. It
would be impossible to over-emphasize their importance and contribution, as
it is widely believed that those few "foreigners", five to be exact, have
changed the course of the so called War of Independence.

One of those volunteers was Milton "Milt" Rubenfeld (1919 - 2004), a pilot
who flew for the Royal Air Force and U.S. Army during World War II. He's
none other than Paul Reubens' (Pee-wee Herman)  father. 

Just thought some of you might find it interesting.

Agreed.  I've watched Big Adventure twenty times at least...practically had
it by memory at one time...and he is never creepy in any discernible
fashion.  I think Adrian doesn't like public masturbation and is possibly
unable to see past that incident in the life or the creator of the
character...but perhaps I'm wrong.  Or he doesn't find that act funny.
However, I can attest to the fact that some do and I will go so far as to
say some future generations will still find it so. 

I love you (and all you do) Pee Wee!  Keep on keeping on!  You're a loner, a
rebel!

I think it's clear by now that Adrian doesn't enjoy Pee Wee.  Who knew that
when I posted this rather interesting article from the Times Magazine that
we were going to 

unearth all this.  Adrian seems to have a very clear idea of what and who is
funny and what and who isn't.

 

But I think it's worth noting that what and who is funny morphs thru the
years.  In 1948, audiences thought that Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis were
madly funny - and Paramount rejoiced as they kept stashing all that cash.
Later the French almost enshrined Lewis as not only funny, but a serious
auteur.  Have you watched HOLLYWOOD OR BUST recently?  I adore Monty Python,
but you might get a yawn from more than a few post-millenials, who might not
get what the big fuss was.  And the Goon Show?  Now that really is an
antique.  But nevertheless I appreciate them, and I adore Peter Sellers.
But do you think that people would howl at A SHOT IN THE DARK today as they
did at the Inwood Theater in Dallas when I first saw it.  I doubt it.

 

I think that Pee Wee (Paul Rubens) was not so much funny himself as he
brought something entirely new to comedy.  He saw people like George Lucas
mining pop-culture gold and turning it into adventurous faux sci/fi.   I
think that he realized that all that pop-culture stuff could be sent up
comically just as well.  And he, and the ensemble he worked with, did just
that extremely well, re-filtering childhood in America in the fifties in a
way that mixed nostalgia and the absurd brilliantly.  And I think that
Netflix and Judd Apatow have a well placed bet that the American public will
pay to watch him on Netflix go at it again.

 

But I will say that the last thing I find Pee Wee is "creepy."

I saw Billy Connolly live four weeks ago - this is about the eighth time for me 
- Connolly is a comic god - his genius is that he is all about observation.

Connolly has Parkinsons disease and also has had prostate cancer - both

Paul Ruebens is unfunny he cannot compare to the likes of the Pythons, Ronnie 
Barker, Billy Connolly, Lee Evans all Brits or Chevy Chase, Dan Ackroyd, John

It's such a great buzz when you actually see a poster like this up close and 
personal. I went over to Ron Borst's pad a few years ago and almost had a

A "White Zombie" six sheet? A "Werewolf of London" six sheet in the bedroom? 
One sheets from all the major Universal classics on the wall above the TV? Dude!
Back to the "Phantom"posterChances are indeed pretty good that it might 
have been Chuck's poster. there was one sold in one of the early 90s 
Hershenson-run auctions that might have been the Vergara piece. Chuck laughed 
when he saw what it went for just a few years after he sold it privately. Hell, 
I admired him for not crying!

Re: [MOPO] PEE WEE'S BIG COMEBACK

[Phillip Ayling]

The upcoming Pee Wee film is done for Netflix rather than as a wide release 
theatrical… so… there will probably be few posters, few billboards and (even 
counting for inflation) less money spent on marketing than any of the prior 
films. It will not crowd any other comedians out of the movie business and will 
be real easy to avoid, if that is what one wishes.

Back in the late 1970’s I apprenticed the troupe and was a manager for the 
Groundlings Theater in LA on Friday nights.

 

Paul Reubens initiated a new character - a naive kid who just got off the bus - 
who in the storyline eventually evolved into a comic.

All of LA was mythic and eye-opening to this character and he had a way of 
making you see the fairy tale of it all through his eyes.

 

This was the first appearance of Pee-Wee and on successive Friday nights he 
would appear and hone the character - change things here or there - draw in the 
audience more and more - Until he finally put together Pee-Wee’s Playhouse - 
the stage production - with other members of the Groundlings group - truly 
brilliant comic talents.

 

The movies were fun, I thought -

But, all I can say is that in person in those early days and through the 
development of Pee-Wee’s stage show -

I have seen few things funnier or laughed at fewer things harder that I did 
that show.

 

Rubens would come out tossing candy to everyone, dancing on his tip toes, 
engaging the audience.

I don’t know what it was - but he definitely tapped something both mythic and 
absurd - a wonderful and unusual combination.

 

Paul was always a very kind and gentle person, even quiet, and it was a shame 
he hit the Hollywood Babylon skids as he did.

We all have our feet of clay -

But in the old days - when it was fresh and never seen before - his act was 
nothing short of scream out loud riotous - you literally couldn’t get the air 
out of your lungs fast enough.

 

Jeez, I’d love to see something that funny once again!

Can I just chip in here and say I've never cared for Benny Hill? *ducks*

 

But I loved The Goons. (US MoPoers start desperately googling "goons.")

I saw Billy Connolly live four weeks ago - this is about the eighth time for
me - Connolly is a comic god - his genius is that he is all about
observation.

Connolly has Parkinsons disease and also has had prostate cancer - both
diagnosis on the same day - and yet he made us laugh about it.

Paul Ruebens is unfunny he cannot compare to the likes of the Pythons,
Ronnie Barker, Billy Connolly, Lee Evans all Brits or Chevy Chase, Dan
Ackroyd, John Belushi, Steve Martin and the like all of the same era as Pee
Wee. Pee Wee's great adventure was an embarresment...I saw it first time
around in the US and all I saw was a creepy little guy taking cinema goers
money. And now he is making some sort of come back - 

- it all comes down to a matter of taste - I predict his new film will do no

Re: [MOPO] Great 6 Sheet

[Jeff Potokar]

I've worked at Universal and have seen this 6sh in person. It is a  
STUNNER!


It IS the real deal.

They also displayed it a number of years ago, when they did a  
screening of Phantom at the Universal Amphitheater.


Carla Laemmle was in attendance and actually posed for some pics next  
to this very same poster that was up on the wall.


It also makes one wonder if this copy is the same one you mention  
that your friend sold? Never know. I can't imagine there are many  
Phantom 6sh floating around out there. And Universal has quite the  
poster archive. If they didnt have a copy up until then, it could  
have made the rounds and eventually returned "home."  :)

It was stunning and I've always been grateful to Chuck for letting

I think he may have ended up getting a decent return on his initial

Too bad the poster was completely wasted on the guys in the room.

Re: [MOPO] PEE WEE'S BIG COMEBACK

[Adrian Cowdry]

I will not be disparaging about Jerry Lewis' charity collecting etc.

But as a comedian he was never very good...however he was a million times 
better than Pee Wee Herman.

I collect on Jerry Lewis and have for quite some time. I think of all the many 
hours he spent helping others and raising money for the Muscular Dystrophy 
Association. I don't have muscular dystrophy but I have a severe 
neuro-biological brain disorder. I think through research he has helped many 
other illnesses too because of the important research that MDA has done over 
the years. The funds raised for research of Muscular Dystrophy has also helped 
research for all illnesses. He really has helped ALL of us. 
 
March 16th Jerry Lewis will be 90 years old. God Bless Him and I appreciate ALL 
that he has done over the many years. I think he made the world a better place. 
I am grateful for that!!!

something about his personal life you don’t like, sorry, I’m not up on

Pee wee   should be shot - he is the worst - absolute worst person to be 
allowed on the   movie screen - and that is saying a lot when you have Jerry 
Lewis and Ben   Stiller around!
