I think it’s safe to say, that we can all collectively agree that Pee Wee’s Big Adventure was monumentally better than Big Top Pee Wee, for like, eleventy billion reasons not including egg salad sandwiches or Kris Kristofferson.

But, I can all say, in complete confidence, that to this day, Pee Wee’s Big Adventure freaks me the fuck out. Like, I have nightmares, and I’m thirty. Thirty year old nightmares are worse than ten year old nightmares, because thirty year olds are way more in tune with their mortality and know we could basically die any second, whether it be from murder or a creepy neighbor who wants to steal our bike because he’s a dick who needs a hobby.

The scene where the truck driver is really dead and her face turns into a ghost thing? Insomnia.

However…

this still makes me laugh hysterically.

And I am still looking for that giant dinosaur you can climb into and watch the sun rise from inside of it’s head. It’s on my life list.
