Random Movie Thoughts

Just watched Pee-Wees Big Top(Dyslexic mistake found while proofing..keeping it) on Netflix. Loved it as a kid, thought it was up there with Big Adventure. After watching it as a adult I can say in fact its no where close to Big Adventure and its sorta creepy. The fact that Reuben wrote and produced this thing makes it even creepier. The movie was a total bust. It cost 20 million to make and only brought in 15 million.

-The first 15 mins is very classic Pee-Wee. Making the animals pancake. All the farm animals eating breakfast at the table. Riding a tractor for like 10 seconds while singing Pee-Wee had a farm.

-Creepy part 1. Lunch with Winnie! Well its going pretty funny(egg salad on the face). He then does the hair combing thing along with jumping on top of Whinne where she has to push him stating the "Children.. THE CHILDREN!". I know Pee-wee has been know to slide in adult jokes in his tv show and what not but this isn't even trying to hide anything. Its screams I JUST WANT SOME!

-Towns People are pretty funny. Loved the cheese sandwich part. I in fact started to eat them because of this movie. I'M STARVING! PLEASE!
-I enjoy Vance the Pig. Again very Pee-Wee.

-Had no idea Benicio del Toro was Duke the dog face,

-Creepy part 2. The kissing scene with Gina goes on forever, Like it turns into a softcore film it goes so long. The setting is just odd too. Goes from a farm setting to a jungle with a water fall. You know Reuben wrote this in. A make out scene that lasts 1:35 mins(yes I timed it). It feels so awkward. I bet the theater experience with it was just terrible. I mean all these parents and kids sitting through a softi. Had no reason to be in there and pretty uncalled for.

-Biffed line by Mace. They didn't even bother to try another take. "That's right Showball.. Snowball".

-Piccolapupula brothers sharing Winne? Also pretty odd. They hint at some sort of odd wife sharing thing. Gross.
-Classic Pee-Wee when he shrinks everyone into children.

-Creepy part 3 when Gina and him have sex and by have sex they show women mud wrestling and explosions. Why does Pee-Wee need to have sex in a movie about a farm that is aimed at kids??!?!?! What were they thinking??!?

-More mistakes: They slow down the film when Vance is singing during the circus show. Like they didn't get enough of a shot to fill his lines or something.

This is just an odd movie with Reubon writing in long kissing scenes to creep out parents and confuse kids. Why does Pee-Wee need to do all this grown up stuff like cheating on girl friends? Just stick to talking to pigs,growing large tomatoes and walking on tight ropes with cows. This is his worst stuff without a doubt. Stick to the playhouse and Big Adventure.

My Knight Rider NES poster came from 8bitfetish! It came! It came! It really is in my opinion one the best Knight Rider images there is and it came from the NES cover art. 8bitfetish really out did there selves here. The deep reds look great! The yellow pops! It tops off my Knight Rider stuff just the way I wanted it to. If you are interested in picking up this bad boy for $11.99(free S&H) than you can find it here!
I remember when I was a kid I was so excited when I saw the Knight Rider game at the store. I begged my mom for it but she wouldn't have it. So I know I was waiting for Christmas or birthday which was a long way off. I was lucky enough that my uncle rented and we played it one night and I was so pumped. I couldn't believe I was about to play my favorite TV in a video game.... Well that where the excitement started and ended as it was just terrible from the start. It was great seeing Kitt in 8 bit form but outside of that the game is impossible. I haven't played it in some time so I can't recall a whole lot but I remember enjoying the turbo boosting but Kitt has rockets I think? Every car was an enemy running you off the road. It just wasn't fun.
Even though the game sucked I always got that warm fuzzy Knight Rider feeling when ever I saw the cover art. It just kicks ass and now looks great on my wall. I already have gotten complements on it during our Christmas party. Now I did get a few question on Twitter about the posters and got some answers.

Q: Why 13 x 19 sized poster?
A: 13x19 is a pretty good natural fit for the most part. It's also bigger than 17x11. And it's not too big or too small. Can fit a good amount on your walls. You really can't do that with 32x24. 


The next poster comes in Jan and its features four heroes in a half shell who made my top 10 SNES covers. Like Bart Scott once said, "CAN'T WAIT!"

A few months ago I decided I needed to track down some NES cover art for my "me room"(Still no pictures..I know) and looked at some auctions on Ebay. I thought some had some pretty crappy looking quality. I found 8bitfetish which had a huge selection. The quality looked way better than the other options. They even have some classic video game scenes! I can't wait to see what more scenes they decide to push out. I decided to take the plunge and ordered the original Super Mario Bros and TMNT II The Arcade Game.

Got my order in a few days. The posters were a 13 x 19 and were full of 8 bits of awesomeness. Great colors,great quality poster and didn't break the bank($11.99+Free shipping). I am huge sucker for Nintendo box art from the NES and SNES days and I couldn't wait to get more.
The other day I was thinking I needed a NES Knight Rider poster to complement my Knight Rider display and I thought why not ask 8bitfetish to be my Friend?!?!? I mean I love Nintendo box art,their stuff is outstanding and its fast and cheap(oh yeah!). I contacted Steve the owner of 8bitfetish with the idea of getting one poster a month sent to me to review on SD80sK. So did he say yes?........ YES! I am excited to announce that SD80sK is partnering up with 8bitfetish! Reviewing Nintendo box posters sounds like a dream come true and the Knight Rider poster should be here any day! So please welcome them to the blog and go check out their amazing posters and their website(still under construction) and Ebay Store!
