2016-02-19 Thread Greg Douglass

Ya gotta give it to Pee Wee: I haven't seen this much posting on MOPO since the 
Eugene Hughes scandal. My worthless opinion, is that his Saturday morning show 
was the most overtly outré children's programming up to that point.. You had 
your dysfunctional talking furniture, and then there was the smoking hot Miss 
Yvonne, who clearly wanted more than a noogie from Pee Wee but was never going 
to get the snarky little shit to muss up her hairspray. I was waiting for the 
episode where the secret word of the day was "copulation" ("Yy!!!")
I got a few yucks out of "Pee Wee's Big Adventure"
Reubens has created a kind of a one-trick pony. i just happen to find the trick 
amusing...in reasonable doses. Now..Billy Connelly is consistently brilliant. 
His discussion of preparing for a colonoscopy had me unable to breathe; I was 
laughing that hard. George Carlin? The master.
Jerry Lewis made me laugh in "The Ladies' Man" when I was, like, 12.Now, I find 
him too self-consciously aware of his assumed "genius": "Hey, you guys! They 
love my nutty ass in France and you better love me here! Look at this facial 
expression; isn't just to die for? Yep, I'm kickin' Chaplin's ass here, 
folks...) 
Enough pontification. Back to my two passions, posters & music. I have string 
parts to put on today and I'm STILL searching for that Astor "Invisible Ghost" 
one sheet
Best,
Greg Douglass

the film before his conflagrations...it was is not funny...Look at Gene Wilder

Pee Wee is full on creepy - and very unfunny

But it all comes down to taste - Chevy Chase in Fletch is excellent, Steve 
Martin is superb (except for his Pink Panther films whjich really cannot 
compare with Peter Sellers) -

I saw Pee Wee while I was in the US and I have to say it was the worst waste of 
my time - I have never felt so ripped off coming out of a cinema - and my mum

Anyhow - I have aired my feelings - perhaps a good idea to draw a line here.

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.”

Michael, I too agree that the MOPO group is wonderful. While I am not in any
way a fan of Pee Wee Herman, I do acknowledge he holds an important role in
American cinema. 

 

Pee Wee's Big Adventure represent's Tim Burton's mainstream directorial
debut as well as Danny Elfman's scoring composer debut and Phil Hartman
helped co-write the script.

 

Without knowing who was responsible for what; the interaction of comic
ideas, visuals, manual props and music for a scene often called The
Breakfast Machine is utterly brilliant. Even if you don't find that scene
funny - in my opinion - the story boarding, design, effects, filming and
post production music attached to that bit represents filmmaking at the
highest level of skill and creativity

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVdqwD_bcPs

It is a scene almost 5 minutes long with virtually no dialogue. It was
filmed; it wasn't CGI processed.

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.

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

Connolly has Parkinsons disease and also has had prostate cancer - 
bothdiagnosis 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, 
RonnieBarker, Billy Connolly, Lee Evans all Brits or Chevy Chase, Dan Ackroyd, 
JohnBelushi, Steve Martin and the like all of the same era as Pee Wee. Pee 
Wee'sgreat adventure was an embarresment...I saw it first time around in the US 
and all Isaw was a creepy little guy taking cinema goers money. And now he is 
makingsome sort of come back - 

- it all comes down to a matter of taste - I predict his new film will do 
nobusiness in Europe. 

Steve Carrel has to be one of the latest great talents on cinema screens 
andtranscends international humour - he is a comic who deeserves his plaudits. 
Wecan all pick out favourites...Pee Wee is way down on the scale and is 
sounfunny...

Believe me we have some who are just as bad in the UK - Frank Skinner for 
example -another one who thinks he is funny and possibly the worst is Russell 
Brand -he's about as funny as a fart in a space suit!

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


 

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

All of LA was mythic and eye-opening to this character and he hada 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 Fridaynights 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’sPlayhouse - 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 andthrough the 
development of Pee-Wee’s stage show -

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

 

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

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

 

Paul was always a very kind and gentle person, even quiet, and itwas 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’tget the air 
out of your lungs fast enough.

 

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

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.

Re: [MOPO] PEE WEE'S BIG COMEBACK

2016-02-17 Thread 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!

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 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.

Yes, and The Groundlings is mentioned in the article.  

I think anybody can be in the wrong place at the wrong time.  That history 
doesn’t bother me one bit.

What he brought to the show in L.A. was completely fresh.  HBO has a knack for 
being right there when something great in comedy
happens.  I, too, like Alan, laughed my head off.  Just as I did with Roseanne 
Barr’s “domestic goddess” and Eddie Izzard’s “executive transvestite.”

I think the respect of his fellow comics says more about his talent than 
anything that I could add.

Put me down as pro-Pee Wee, too. Loved the show and the first movie. The
show especially owed a lot to artists like Gary Panter and Wayne White, who
are brilliant. It represented everything that was good about the art that
came out of the 1980s. Pee Wee deserves to rise again!

I can see that Paul Rubens character and work especially resonates in America, 
where the popculture mined is more familiar.

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!

The author of that in-depth fascinating article would beg to differ.  Is it 
because his humor is annoying? Or because he plays with himself in porno

I can kindof see why the first Zoolander became a cult hit…not my taste,

Would completely agree about Extras.  (Gervais is simply a brilliant comedian.)

I will not disagree and be judgemental about Ben Stiller as a person nor his

believed them...he is much better as a director...his funniest thing ever was 
being in Extras with Ricky Gervais - great respect for that because he took a

But really? What has he done that is funny? Everything is forgettable that he

Regarding Ben Stiller, I haven’t seen the latest (which has been destroyed by

Not only is PEE WEE’S BIG ADVENTURE enjoyable, but it made a ton of money as 
the article notes.  The 2nd PEE WEE feature was not as good, I thought.  
However, the HBO
special was the freshest thing ever when it was first aired.  It yielded the 
CBS Saturday morning Kid’s programming, which helped to liberate Saturday 
morning kid fare.  Also, I have never had trouble selling the BIG ADVENTURE one 
sheet.  It is still desired.  So, sorry Adrian, I side with Michael on this one.


But Michael, I sold a 24 sheet for BIG DADDY (Sandler) for $150.00    And 
Sandler was taking a pee on it!

I will not disagree about Adam Sandler - I did like Grown Ups...but Pee Wee is 
absolute garbage!

Re: [MOPO] PEE WEE'S BIG COMEBACK

2016-02-16 Thread Kirby McDaniel

Not only is PEE WEE’S BIG ADVENTURE enjoyable, but it made a ton of money as 
the article notes.  The 2nd PEE WEE feature was not as good, I thought.  
However, the HBO
special was the freshest thing ever when it was first aired.  It yielded the 
CBS Saturday morning Kid’s programming, which helped to liberate Saturday 
morning kid fare.  Also, I have never had trouble selling the BIG ADVENTURE one 
sheet.  It is still desired.  So, sorry Adrian, I side with Michael on this one.

But Michael, I sold a 24 sheet for BIG DADDY (Sandler) for $150.00    And 
Sandler was taking a pee on it!

:)

De Gustibus non disputandum est.

Re: [MOPO] PEE WEE'S BIG COMEBACK

2016-02-16 Thread Doug Taylor

Living in Sarasota (original home of Pee Wee) I can say that he is rather
liked around here because the location of his dastardly deeds has resulted
in a rather profitable tour.

 

Regarding Ben Stiller, I haven't seen the latest (which has been destroyed
by the critics) but I can tell you that I hold his wife Christine Taylor
(and her mother) in the highest regard.  They are acquaintances (our
daughters performed in Annie together) and are absolutely amazingly humble
and well-grounded people.  I've seen Ben (not met him) and suspect that he,
personally, is also a pretty good person. 

 

Regards

 

Doug Taylor
