Comments on: Calling Mr. Herman – The Return of Pee-wee Herman http://www.360kid.com/blog/2010/01/pee-wee-return/ Exploring the World of Digital Youth Thu, 14 Jan 2010 17:04:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: Clint Bradford http://www.360kid.com/blog/2010/01/pee-wee-return/comment-page-1/#comment-126481 Clint Bradford Thu, 14 Jan 2010 17:04:22 +0000 http://www.360kid.com/blog/?p=696#comment-126481 When courting my wife 20+ years ago during a l-o-n-g telephone conversation, I probingly ask her, "What was the last movie you saw?" As she answered - it was Das Boot or some other gritty, socially-relevant hard-core film - I chanted to myself, "DON'T ask me what my last movie was ..." over and over again. But she DID ask me. Not desiring to begin a relationship with lies, I truthfully told her that my brother and I had just seen "Pee Wee's Big Adventure," and that I had darned near fallen out of my seat in hysterics. Well, she married me anyway ... and it has become one of our favorite movies. Right after Casablanca, of course.
