Actually, Zeev, you are correct and I would watch Punch Drunk Love if I ever came across it as I like the director and have heard good things. I guess I was just thinking about Sandler's comedy work which I have no taste for! M From: MoPo List

You may not like his work, or his persona, but “should be shot”? I think you got a little carried away. Regarding Ben Stiller, not sure what exactly you’re objecting to? He’s done some noteworthy work, and he’s a very competent comedic actor. If there’s something about his personal life you

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.

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! Dave _

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

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 theaters? Just curious... I can take him or leave him, but he makes me chuckle. Sent from my iPad > On Feb 16, 2016, at 12:36 PM, Adrian Cowdry

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
