Heidi Webb stands by her IROC-Z PeeWee Whimps Into Our Lives one of the year’s most popular rides Whether heading for the beach or the prom, this is the way to be noticed Midnight Movie Mania To most people midnight on the weekends is a time spent sleeping or roosting in front of the television But many people have found a rather rowdy alter- native. They gather at mid- night on Fridays and Satur- Gays, at their local movie theater to view the ‘“Mid- night Movies’’, which are mostly cult films Probably the most famous of these is The Rocky Horror Picture Show. The attraction in seeing the same movie every week is the audi- ence’s participation. People going to Rocky Horror should expect to be hit by juice, toast, and water. They will also see hordes of people dancing in the aisles, and many more eccentricities Also, a lot of people come to the movie dressed as one of the outlandish charac- ters. The Rocky Horror Pic- ture Show is a good movie to see if you're craving a lit- tle controlled insanity Dawn of the Dead repre- sents another type of ‘‘mid- night movie.” People see these movies, for the most part, when they want mina- less entertainment. Watch- ing Dawn of the Dead, or any movie like it, allows the viewer to relax because it any doesn't thought provoke Going to the “midnight movies” is a great way to amplify the mysterious, ec- centric side in people that the night reveals Miles of people lined up to see his movie. Millions saw his show. His fans con- stantly imitate him. Joeski Love even did a rap about him. PeeWee Her- man is a star. Everybody loves him. Although PeeWee Her- man, is a comedian, he is not the typical jokester. He is a small, boyish nerd who wears a tight gray suit with a red bow-tie and white shoes. He likes to play with toy trains and novelty items and has a dog named Speck. Pee- Wee's favorite thing in the whole world, howev- er, is his bike, which he talks to like a friend. Pee- Wee wouldn't sell his bike for the world. The man who became PeeWee is Paul Reubens. He had small roles in two Cheech and Chong mov- ies and The Blues Brothers before turning into Pee- Wee. As PeeWee’s fame grew, however, Reubens retreated into and finally became the character. But why is PeeWee Her- man so popular with everbody? Well, it could be his nerdish personality and looks. America seems to be in love with the nerd. This craze start- ed with Revenge of the Nerds and continued with PeeWee’s Big Adventure. Having been com- pared to a living cartoon character, PeeWee is not the normal comedian, but that’s why people love him so much. His na- sal whine, loony style and manic laugh seem to be sO appealing that he is an instant hit with everyone who sees him. PeeWee Herman is truly a star of the eighties. Thor Johnson, like many Ypsi students. finds it's more comfortable and a lot cheaper to rent a video tape and watch his favorite movie at home 14
