70? He couldn't have been 70... Cuz then that would mean that I'm...
Fuck... I'm getting old...
Always thought he looked like Christopher Lloyd there.
Large Marge has her passenger back.
Reubens also helped start the careers of Phil Hartman and Laurence Fishburne, which is pretty neat.
Man either the guy really thought he was going to beat this or he just needed a reason to hang on: "...he recently penned the first draft of his upcoming memoir. He had also put the finishing touches on two more Pee-wee movie scripts and was developing projects for television, including a variety show and a western called Fancypants."
Shame those won't see the light of day, at least not with his further involvement of course. That sounds like a ton of work. Source: https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/paul-reubens-best-known-pee-170902189.html
Maybe Johnny Depp will play Pee-wee if those movies ever get made. (Depp was Reubens' pick to replace him.)
I really really really don’t want anyone else to play Pee-wee.
the unedited memoir sounds worthy to experience
Watching the PeeWee Herman Show special on HBO blew my mind as a young adult. What a talent, and stunted career in the end. We loved you Paul.
Reubens created a lot of joy in the world, he will be missed.
Can't believe he was 70. RIP. Big part of my 90s childhood.
This is awesome.
he was art school college roommates with Hasselhoff.. wait what?
I remember him telling Philip Rosenthal that the reason he developed Pee-wee Herman was that Reubens had a horrible memory for jokes, and so he just built a persona that was inherently funny without them.
Obviously, a brilliant move.
I'm 40 now. I freaking loved PeeWee when I was a kid. This hurts. I'm hoping when I get to the pearly gates I hear "Ha ha! Ahhh!". Probably want to see my grandma first now that I think about it.
Holy shit!
"He died on April 3rd."
DOUBLE holy shit!
Where does it say that? Article is dated for today and the quote says his team shared the news on Monday, which I presume they mean today.
hope he gets to jerk off in heaven
Dude was into porn before the internet. He was just a future dude living in the past.
He got caught in my hometown! Lots of weird stuff happens in Sarasota, FL.
The Pussycat Theatre chain in California was a pretty well known goto. I thought it was strange that 1) it was Florida and 2) anyone really cared.
Who ever volunteered to watch these guys cum in a porn theater just to handcuff their slimy wrists... I'm no comedian, but that entire situation is so insane I feel I could do at least 10 minutes on it.
I don't think jerking off in an adult theater is weird.
like, aren't you weird not to? what the fuck else is the place for?
Jambi, I know exactly what to wish for. :( Really sad seeing your childhood pop culture figures dying.
Well that sucks. Could have definitely started the morning not knowing this. RIP Paul Reubens
Anyone remember this movie?
Man WTF I idolized him as a kid growing up watching PeeWee's Playhouse and the PeeWee movies. Even though he was as old as my parents, it feels like a childhood friend died. I did not expect to be so upset by this.
