albee33,Paul Ruebens is one of those actors- ("Barney", "Ernest" and Chevy Chase are others) whose career I could never understand. His Pee-wee character- (even the name has some kind of fetishist/molester quality (think of "pee-pee" and "wee-wee") just can't appeal to children. Rather than the wide-eyed innocence and enthusiasm he thinks he projecting, there's a frightening, slimy insanity about it- his style of fantasy is more nightmare and hallucination. And any adult will probably just watch him out of the corner of their eyes wondering how many watch lists he's on. Perhaps it's me, perhaps it's my general suspicion of the clown/ mask idiom, I'm not anywhere near his frequency- and this gives me hope.
Coyote and esp. Stamp - excellent! Stamp was absolutely brilliant as the jaded, forlorn transsexual in "Adventures of Priscilla". His was the character with the strongest real sense of a past- his tragedies were so deep and in retention, yet informed-powered the outer personality. This sympathetic quality was so powerful it was easy to cheer Stamp finding love with the bus mechanic- now there's acting!
Cheers,
