SpongeBob, Pee-Wee et al
My 7 year old daughter’s birthday party is this weekend. We’re renting out a movie theater and getting all the free popcorn and soda you want. There is a catch — the movie is at 10 AM. And she gets to pick the movie. She picked SpongeBob. Ugh. I was hoping for the Incredibles, but no such luck. Oh well, I’ll be making the noble effort, or something.
In other kid-friendly news, Amazon delivered the Pee Wee Playhouse collection to my house yesterday — two full volumes plus the Christmas special. The Mrs. didn’t think it was appropriate to show my kids. I had to explain that the playhouse was very kid friendly, but of course there’s no bleeping rating to prove this on the box. Pee-Wee’s Playhouse was just awesome for it’s time. Yes, Magic Screen could use a little help these days, but any show with a secret word and a video phone and Phil Hartman is pretty darn cool. So help me convince her that it’s ok to show. LOL. She must think it’s like desperate houseives at Monday Night Football or something.

Just out of curiosity, how much does it cost to rent a theater?
Ive seen it done, and the one time I inquired about it, the theater manager said they dont discuss it until you show them the money.

Don’t forget Larry Fishburne as Cowboy Curtis.
Pee Wee Playhouse is appropriate for kids and enjoyable for adults too.

Well, Pee Wee is not as freaky as the Teletubbies. Magic Word for today is… Mescaline!

It cost $7/person, minimum of 10 people (so $70), all the free popcorn and soda you want. But it’s at 10am. So there’s the rub. Less expensive than Chuck E Cheese for sure.
