Something wicked this way comes

The New York Times styles section buries the lede in its take on Paul Reubens' life after Pee Wee Herman, waiting til the 30th graf to tell us Pee Wee is thinking about a comeback.

Sure, Reubens has found sporadic work in the post Pee Wee world, notably in Blow (2001) and Mystery Men (1999), but true Pee Wee connoisseurs have been left wanting more.

The wait may be over -- Reubens wants to secure financing for a third Pee Wee Herman movie, about how Pee Wee becomes a rock star but loses touch with his small-town sensibilities, with hilarious consequences.

At first I was worried about a Pee Wee with flecks of grey hair to match his grey suit, but then I thought that a third installment couldn't do any more damage to the brand than 1988's Big Top Pee Wee.

Bring it on, Paul Reubens.
