Paul Reubens Panel from NYCC 2019 

Did you notice that I never saw Pee Wee Herman/Paul Reubens speak in a New York comic book convention? Which of the places in America don't have a comic book convention in particular? That's Dallas Texas, Mudvale Utah, Littleton Colorado, Birmingham Alabama, Blytheville Arkansas, Dyersburg Tennessee, Perry Maine, Great Falls Montana, and Anchorage Alaska.

Yes he sure is. Well said.

also, for that bit when he related watching the shots just post-large marge, the truck revealing the big dinosaurs, was totally full of 'feels' right then; he knew he had made the right risky decision to wait and find his own director... i always remember that scene too, for the fact that the next shot in reverse is of pee-wee turning around from his spooky experience, that "what just happened?" look lingering on his face, to see the dinosaurs that were revealed in the previous shot, and letting his face suddenly glow with his typically childlike happiness, like, "i'm home! i'm safe now!" before walking into the diner to complete the scene... some other director might've insisted he jump up and down and exclaim "haha! dinosaurs!" or something... burton knew he could communicate that scene completely visually. for that matter, i don't recall even a single word or line of dialog from that scene mentioning the dinosaurs at all... only the other visual/plot jokes of andy ripping up a prop dinosaur-bone to go try to beat up pee-wee. but, face it... from the very beginning - the tour-de-france sequence, thru the rube-goldberg breakfast sequence... "pee-wee's big adventure" is 'just another' 'movie about movies'. and, those are often the -best- movies... ('singin' in the rain'; 'cinema paradiso'...) and, in that context... "pee-wee's big adventure" is tops. no contest.

He was such a dear man & so comedically ON ❤ Bright, brilliant, and beautiful soul. He is so missed.

Jealous :)

Who masterbates in theaters

Lucky! Awesome for you!

He was a sweet and gentle person. I knew him well and he was always excited about life. Forever had a childlike view of the world and it was amazing. We had much unfinished business and he had so many projects he wanted to create! Gone too soon. ❤️

Meeeeeeee toooooooo!!!!! I find things like this just to listen to him. His Pee-wee voice was great, but his real voice...there's something about it.

Paul Reubens is very genuine with his fans.

Maybe she would like the tv show more. The tv show was better to me.

You should divorce her

You should show it to her high on grass or seek counseling

I watched it with my kids and I loved it more than I did as a young child

FUCK THE POLICE. He’s not a pedo and plz don’t use the pig man avatar if you don’t know the meaning.

@@thatminimalistguy1755 what's the meaning of the pig man avatar?

What's something I never knew about Dick Tracy's enemy Pruneface? He was a Nazi war criminal at first. He was a Nazi engineer who knew how to construct time bombs. The Topps chewing gum author name-called Pruneface the mad bomber. I read it from a Topps chewing gum special magazine issue. 💣

And his smile at the reactions! I loved it.

They haven't say though what kind of cancer he had

@@mickys411 His close friend Kathy Griffin said something the other day about brain cancer. Apparently he had a tumor removed about six years ago, and maybe the cancer came back?

He smoked cigarettes so not sure if that led to his cancer.

I read that it was brain cancer. But a lot of times, it's metastatic to other areas.

Rest in peace Paul 😢🙏

@@fuckthepolice.9410 No he's bloody not........

Did you notice that you won't find one individual who impersonates Dick Tracy's number one enemy: Flat Top Jones? They don't even impersonate Dick Tracy's number one enemy: Big Boy, especially at any comic book convention you name. Most men and boys who are comic book readers today don't desire Dick Tracy. They know that this character represents a police inspector whose man of the Lord God. They don't even care who his enemies were. Ah, they don't play by the rules.They play dirty. They don't even judge people by age either.

@Rico Williams thanks!

I also realized that Pee Wee Herman/Paul Reubens never got back into Mark Everett's life. "Last time I saw you, you were a little boy, I can't believe that you forgot about me, I wish you didn't do drugs and turn nasty."

He was witty and charming in person just like he is here. Very fun to hang out with. We worked together a couple times as well. Going back 23 years to Blow.

He was actually 64 when the movie came out in 2016 👍

I am 21 and still love him dearly

My 5 year old daughter is hooked on Pee Wee :)

@@sallypickett2233 I had a huge crush on him when I was her age

@@LadyBloodyWrists Ahaha, I have a slight crush on him now as an adult 😆

The problem was that his career wasn't at a high point then. His second movie was not well-reviewed and lost money at the box office. His TV show was already cancelled at the time of his arrest. So his career was already in a mode where it would need to cool down for a while and hope for a comeback later. So the arrest came at a terribly vulnerable time for his career and made any chance of a comeback much more difficult. He wasn't a hot property at that moment so there was little incentive for a studio to take a risk on him. So as years go by with him out of the public eye, his character becomes more forgotten and other comedians appealing to the same audience like Jim Carrey and Mike Myers (in Austin Powers) came in to fill the gap.

Yep, it was really important that Pee-Wee got to be scared, angry and vengeful in certain scenes. It made his character more well-rounded and not an overly nice, sweet or perfect guy.

That movie was far cooler than I even expected it to be. It's still holds up. It's a true piece of art

I'd support anything he did. He's a class act and a serious performer regardless of what he is doing.

He had a lot of plans. I gave him a script I wrote for a darker pee wee film. I spent a lot of time with him but he ran out of time to do everything he wanted to.

@@KnightEnterprises Too bad. I wish he was able to get more projects going in the late stage of his career. I definitely think transitioning back to the more adult-oriented material of his early stage show would've been the best way to go with the character. Seems like the scandals were always hanging over his head keeping Hollywood from wanting to produce material with him aimed at children.

Wait until the actors who are aging are the same age as you. That is even more dramatic.

Hey it's okay, you're in that hallway too, and you don't even have to reach the end. The floor can drop out from you at any moment. ;)

We walk that hallway every day. Some hallways are longer than others. ♥️✌🏻

Pretty prescient comment. *sigh* 💔

And Fort Knox.
