It has been almost 30 years since Pee-wee Herman has graced the screen, but the adorable and lovable character with a big heart is set to make his return in an all new movie called Pee-wee's Big Holiday.

The Netflix film will feature Paul Reubens reprising the iconic character who is inspired by Joe Manganiello who suggests that Pee-wee leaves his hometown and go on a holiday. Check out the trailer below. [...]

Marshmallows exist because of sore throats. For centuries, juice from the marsh mallow plant has been used for pain relief. In the 1800s, it was mixed with egg whites and sugar for children with sore throats. The recipe was so tasty that people made it as a treat called ‘marshmallow.’ Source

Nearly 30 years after he last hit the big screen in Big Top Pee-wee, Pee-wee Herman (Paul Reubens) is up to his old antics again this spring in Pee-wee’s Big Holiday. This time, he’s inspired to set out on his first-ever holiday, driving all the way to New York City. Along the way, he gets into all sorts of scrapes involving bank thieves, a snake farm, an Amish family, and much, much more. Watch the latest Pee-wee’s Big Holiday trailer after the jump. 

So Pee-wee’s entire journey is sparked by his desire to get closer to Joe Mangainello? That seems pretty relatable, actually. Look how cool and handsome this guy looks. Who wouldn’t want to chase him across the country and become his best friend?

Reubens and Manganiello are friends in real life, and Reubens sounds excited to give Manganiello an opportunity to show off his comedic chops. “You want to not like [Manganiello] in a certain way. He’s like pretty close to being perfect,” Reubens told USA Today. “But he and his wife [Sofia Vergara] together are the dorkiest, nerdiest people. It’s just hilarious. People don’t get to see that side of him.”

In any case, it seems like Pee-wee’s heart eyes for Manganiello are just an excuse to string together a bunch of weird misadventures. “It always seems best when Pee-wee has very little plot — his movies probably have the least plot in the history of cinema,” said director John Lee. “Why not embrace that?” A road trip seemed like the perfect vehicle, especially since it calls back to the character’s first cinematic outing, 1985’s Pee-wee’s Big Adventure.

Pee-wee’s Big Holiday makes its world premiere at SXSW next month before hitting Netflix on March 18. That’s the same day as Daredevil season 2, just in case you need something light and sweet to break up all that gloom and doom.

The new film stars the beloved fun-loving hero of TV, stage and film, Pee-wee Herman. In Pee-wee’s Big Holiday, a fateful meeting with a mysterious stranger inspires Pee-wee Herman to take his first-ever holiday in this epic story of friendship and destiny. The film stars Pee-wee Herman, Joe Manganiello (True Blood, Magic Mike XXL), Jessica Pohly (Stalker), Alia Shawkat (Arrested Development) and Stephanie Beatriz (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), and was directed by John Lee (Wonder Showzen, Pee-wee’s Big Holiday). Paul Reubens and Paul Rust (Love, Arrested Development) wrote the film, that was produced by Reubens and Judd Apatow (Trainwreck, Bridesmaids).

On average, rent prices are only expected to increase by about one percent this year, according to Zillow. That number varies quite a bit depending on the city, though. While some areas can expect rent hikes well above one percent, rent will actually be cheaper in other areas.

Amy of the food blog Oh, Bite It does provide an actual recipe. But you don't need one. You can just look at the photo, find the necessary ingredients, and get started:

Layer and pile…pile and layer…

Keep doing this until you’re satisfied with yourself..

Or too ashamed of yourself to continue. But if you're preparing this for dinner, you're past shame. Like the guy who was caught enjoying his In-N-Out in public way too much, you're ready to live your life to the fullest.

You don't want to be that guy lying on his deathbed at 46 thinking, "Hey, I should have had those Kit Kat nachos, but I decided to be healthy instead." That kind of attitude gets you nowhere in life.

We've all heard stories of New York City stockbrokers or lawyers who abandon their jobs in favor of a low-stress career and rural lifestyle. It's practically a cliché at this point. Yet Foster Huntington has given this story a modern twist. The twenty-seven year old who worked as a sportswear designer for Ralph Lauren in Manhattan was succeeding by all accounts, able to pay for a pricey Upper West Side apartment and poised for promotion. But Huntington decided that he wasn't interested in clothing. What he wanted was to immerse himself in nature. To travel the country in a way he could connect with the land he traversed. 

Huntington left New York, purchased a van and roamed the country with little direction for three years. To his credit, while practicing this unconventional lifestyle, Huntington's entrepreneurial game and work ethic was strong. He photographed his travels and published several photo books and gained a following on social media, creating the hashtag #vanlife. At that time, Huntington decided he wanted to "settle down." He said in an interview,

"I could’ve bought a house. But this is so much better. For me, it’s realizing a childhood dream."

With the help of hired friends and contractors, Huntington built the treehouse complex shown here. The group of structures, located in western Washington near the Oregon border, consists of two treehouses approximately 200 square feet each; both are equipped with wood stoves. The one pictured above is used as a a sleeping cabin and contains bunk beds. The other is a studio in which Huntington works. The home also has a hot tub with shower and a skate bowl. 

Huntington's home in the trees, which he has dubbed "The Cinder Cone" due to it being situated on a dead volcano, took a year to build. He filmed and photographed the construction and plans to publish the photos in a book; an interesting video documenting the process is below.

Visit this New York Times article for a detailed account of Foster Huntington's adventures and accomplishments. Keep up with Huntington and his treehouse life at The Cinder Cone website.

Well, Zafiro Anejo is the tequila that Gus used to kill the rest of the cartel in Breaking Bad.

As for Ken Loses, that’s what happens to Ken in Breaking Bad – Walt blows up his car.

Circling the drain: Now “NI**ER” stirs up controversy Yeah, this story is a bit old – but I still see it cropping up everywhere. I’ll spare the details, but some happy school girls were...

It’s no secret that pretty much the entire /Film crew has undying love for Almost Famous. Maybe it’s because of the similarities between covering the world of music and covering the world of film and television, or maybe it’s just because it’s a damn good coming-of-age tale. No matter what the reason, I love it. Therefore, I’m happy to see director Cameron Crowe‘s first television endeavor taking him back behind the scenes of rock and roll with a new Showtime series called Roadies.

Not unlike Almost Famous, the show follows around a fictional band, but it’s the crew who gets the concerts ready that takes the spotlight. They tour around the United States, creating an unconventional family-like bond with all the good and bad that comes with living each other on the road for months at a time. Get a taste of what you can expect with the first Roadies trailer below.

The series boasts quite the cast with Luke Wilson, Carla Gugino and Imogen Poots starring in the series, the latter of whom has a much different experience in the rock world with Jeremy Saulnier’s Green Room. In addition, there’s also Rafe Spall (Prometheus) and Keisha Castle-Hughes (Game of Thrones) with guest appearances by the likes of Luis Guzman (Boogie Nights), Finesse Mitchell (Saturday Night Live) and apparently comedian Ron White as well.

This series might be enough for me to get Showtime for a month after the series ends so I can binge watch it. It looks like it has some Almost Famous flair to it, but with a bit of Singles thrown in there for good measure. Since Crowe hasn’t delivered a fantastic film in quite awhile, I’m hoping this series that he wrote, directed, created and executive produced makes up for it.

Roadies gives an insider’s look at the reckless, romantic, funny and often poignant lives of a committed group of “roadies” who live for music and the de facto family they’ve formed along the way. The music-infused ensemble comedy series chronicles the rock world through the eyes of music’s unsung heroes and puts the spotlight on the backstage workers who put the show on the road while touring the United States for a successful arena-level band.

Roadies premieres on Sunday, June 26 at 10pm ET only on Showtime.

The internet is full of bad content, bad people, and really, really bad ideas, but there's actually just as much good stuff to be found there if you're willing to dig around in the muck for a while.

That's why it's fortunate so many sites like to dig around for us, compiling their findings into a healthy collection of info nuggets for our brains to gobble up via our eyeballs.

In this case, the nuggets are pictures depicting some really good ideas for businesses, spotted while out in the real world, ideas like a kid sized door for your Dairy Queen.

Some of the ideas are fun, others are absolute game changers that we shouldn't have had to live without for so long, like this grocery store that lets you buy a "Walkin' Around Beer" for a buck. Now that's grocery shopping in style!

Oscars producers announcing a "bottom of frame" slot for thank yous for winners. Kind of brilliant. #OscarsLunchpic.twitter.com/OtOjO9xL4E

Acceptance speeches at the Academy Awards range from newsworthy to hilarious to dreadfully dull as the winner thanks a list of people who we don’t know, but probably deserve to be recognized. This year, they can get that public recognition without being mentioned in the speech at all! The Academy announced the new scheme at the Oscar luncheon Monday.

All the nominees are being required to submit a list of whom they'd like to thank in the scroll, which will be displayed beneath their acceptance speech. That doesn't mean they can't give verbal shout-outs — it just means they have an excuse to use their moment for another purpose.

The nominees are on notice that they don’t have to worry about leaving someone out, and they are free to be more entertaining for the rest of us. Lat’s hope at least some of them take advantage of that opportunity. -via Uproxx
