Pee-wee Herman’s Playhouse is going to look really different after today:

As someone that has seen his films, as well as the series during the later retrospective years when it came on TV, this is just like finding out Jim Henson died.

There will never be another guy like this one, especially one who was never ashamed of making a playhouse to let his inner imagination run wild.
 
It wasn't cancer, but Gilbert Gottfried died from an undisclosed disease about a year ago, too.
To be honest, in a way I understand it.
I wouldn’t want paparazzi hounding myself for pictures of myself looking like shit as I’m trying to battle a possibly terminal disease, and I can see wanting my fans to enjoy my work without knowing the struggles that I’m going through. I know that I’m not privy to know their medical maladies either.

But I would rather be able to have mourned them and enjoyed their work, so that their passing wasn’t so jarring when it did come.

Yeah it's a double edged sword, but I'm not blaming anyone for not disclosing their illnesses, especially public figures. Paparazzi are fucking scum of the earth as it is, and if they're on a "death watch" and posting endless "tragic last days" articles in checkout lane tabloids, that's even more reason to keep to yourself about it. Like when Dennis Hopper disclosed that he had cancer, the press hounded him endlessly for months with those headlines. It seems to thankfully been scrubbed from the internet, but I distinctly remember a picture on one of those tabloids from when he fell in public shortly before he died and his wife or caretaker trying to help him up, obviously in distress, and the paparazzi scum just snapping pictures and not rushing in to help. I can't blame anyone for wanting to avoid any part of that.
 
My favorite bit of Reubens trivia is that he was considered for the role of Gozer in Ghostbusters

The one project Reubens talked about I'm sad never got made was his "dark" Pee-Wee movie, "The Pee-wee Herman Story." You'd still see articles about it as recently as a couple years ago. Maybe the script will surface someday, as with Andy Kaufman's "The Tony Clifton Story".

Can someone fill me in on whether Paul has been up to some sketchy shit or something? I remember waaay back when I was young I heard some things about him being into drugs or some other shit that ultimately got his show cancelled, but that could've just been jewish media trying to warp my mind with making some things seem worse than it is.

Not to mention Robin Williams.

He got caught masturbating in a porno theater. I have no idea what kind of shitbag goes into a porno theater to spy on other people masturbating and then narcs them out for it, but that happened.

There was also some thing where he was accused of possessing CP and then not much came of it. It had something to do with Jeffrey Jones getting arrested for apparently actual CP. What Reubens had was some apparently decades-old vintage stuff on paper, but I never saw any really lurid descriptions of it.

The only thing he's known to have actually gotten his rocks off to is normie porn, but you can see how that kind of put the damper on any career involving kids.
 
Just heard that my cousin's wife's aunt was murdered last night so RIP to her. They don't know who did it but it sounds like someone tried to break in and rob her. She was likely an easy target since she was old and lived alone.

I didn't know her and she didn't live in the area, but it was scary to hear nonetheless.

Edit: They got the bastard, some 24-year-old black guy. Apparently his mom turned him in.

This isn't a post about a dead person, but fuck it, it's still just as sad if they were one.

Kirby, Let's Play youtuber Chuggaaconroy's pet cat who has lived for almost 20 years, has passed away 3 weeks ago.

I've been watching this guy since ~2009, and even though I've since dipped out of watching his newest lets play, I'm sad to hear that the cat that has lived the longest (and managed to outlive like 3(!) other fucking pets of his) eventually had to come to an end himself. RIP Kirbo
