A couple of months ago I saw Pee-Wee Herman’s stage show at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles, and I had nosebleed seats all the way up in the balcony (sue me, I’m cheap). Sitting not six seats away in my aisle was comedy writer and Inglorious Basterd Paul Rust. Now Rust has a much better seat to the Pee-Wee show – he’s helping Paul Reubens write a film to be produced by Judd Apatow.
It’s being described as a big road trip adventure picture… which kind of sounds like Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure. Could it actually be the Pee-Wee in Puppetland movie that Reubens has been talking about for years now? I’d much prefer that than another movie where Pee-Wee is running around the regular world.
“Let’s face it, the world needs more Pee-wee Herman,” Apatow told Daily Variety. “I am so excited to be working with Paul Reubens — who is an extraordinary and groundbreaking actor and writer. It’s so great to watch him return with such relevance.”
It has been a good year for Pee-Wee, who had been on ice for years after Reubens got caught jerking it in a Florida porn theater (the perils of being famous before the internet). His show is going on to New York soon, and it was a huge hit here in LA. I, for one, am happy that Pee-Wee is back in the playhouse.

Agree with the hullaballoo statements. Ours is a land of Disneyfied almost barely legals flashing unders minus garments.
bpvalentine: I think what Devin meant was that Paul could have just watched porn on his computer in the age of high speed internet and not had to go to a theater to jerk it. Anyone who has ever tried to download porn in the age of dial-up can attest that you WILL LOSE YOUR ERECTION waiting for it to happen.
No, use your head, Devin meant that beofre the internet you had to actually go and get, or pay to watch in a theater, your porn. Crazy times, eh.
Say what you will about his roles other than Pee Wee, but he was awesome in Buffy.
Hey #2 did you even actually follow the cases or even do an ounce of research? Just look it up for a sec. Even a second. The first kid was given a truth serum that the governmetn stopped using because you could influence the subject to believe whatever you wanted. The boy's father gave that to him. The second case…oh c'mon, it was so obvious to the courts the mom set the kids up for it when their stories couldn't even MATCH. Just look it up, even a little bit. Seriously.
Yeah, MJ didn't prevert on those kids. The Elephantman Bones though, CAKED with cum.
Pre-Internet, couldn't Reubens have done what those of us who were too self-conscious to go and rent porn from a video store did: borrow it from a friend? Some people get off "getting off" in public; sounds like Reubens was one of those people.
Reubens was GREAT in Blow. When i think of him i think of that role.
