Why is it that Pee Wee's Big Adventure is SO MUCH BETTER than Cat in the Hat
it's not fucking funny? CITH was on HBO last night and I taped it, not
having seen it in the theater. B O R I N G.
Yet much of the on screen imagery and ensuing chaos was similar in many
ways, visually.
How could anybody want to live after making a movie that makes Pee Wee
Herman look GOOD anyhow?

The same thing happens in books now days. When i enter a library or
bookstore, i immediately walk past the new/bestseller/hot/trendy/oprah
pulp section. My attitude towards movies and books is the same. A good
portion of anything new is crap and i havent even come close to
reading/watching all the old stuff yet.

Doesn't it follow that since what is old was once new, a lot of it is also
crap?

Yes, but the redeeming grace of older crap books is that so many of them are
OUT-OF-PRINT.

Theodore Sturgeon was right: "90% of *everything* is crud". (He apparently
preferred that word to "crap".)

Creative genius may be successfully marketed, but no matter how hard you
market something which is at heart solely a product, you cannot make it
be creative. You can't fake bulldada.

Speak for yourself. I can never keep a straight face when I try to say it.

Obviously it's not meant to be taken literally. It's a metaphor for the
decline of morals in the century to follow. Combining as it does the
prediction of crack ("candy") AND ecstasy ("you got me wanting you")
throughout all levels of a corrupt society ("I'm gonna make your life so
sweet"), as seen from the repetitious phraseology of the frenetic
chorusline as though one were in a drug haze Rave-mantra; it hints at
the purification of methamphetamine into Ice ("honey, honey", a
"sweeter" version of crystal meth "sugar").

One word.
Mike Fucking Myers
I dunno... the thing about "Pee Wee's Big Adventure" is that it's basically
an honest, weird little movie done by honest, weird little people. Reubens
plays Pee Wee broad, sure, but not in that smarmy way that Myers puts into
every goddamned thing he does.
Besides, I always thought of the Cat as a more elegant figure... somehow
Astaire-ish... not some dumpy sniggering hyperactive putty-tat.

And they DUMPED the poetry! Dr. Suess *is* the fantastic rhymes! When the
people in charge dumped the poetry, they just proved how little Hollywood
gives a damn about - well, about anything. Heartless bastards.

The rhymes are still in there... you just have to dig through all the shit
dialogue that's padding it.

Hey, it was a paycheck for a lot of jerks.
Why Mike Meyers? Maybe if they had got Paul Ruben...
I hear Travolta is still wanting to get Battlefield Earth
Part II made. Too bad Edward D. Wood is dead.

Ed Wood is dead but John Travolta's brain lives on. You call that a
