...wiry little man-child with a voice that sounded like his novocaine hadn't worn off yet. But children adored Pee-wee Herman (aka Paul Reubens), critics praised him and adults delighted in discovering double-entendres and inside jokes on his Saturday morning kids? TV show Pee-wee?s Playhouse, which ran from 1986 to 1991 on CBS. Pee-wee is back - this time for grown-ups - in all 45 original episodes, airing on Cartoon Network?s Adult Swim Monday thru Thursday nights at 11 p.m. TIME's Jeanne McDowell talked to Reubens about the return of the Playhouse...

Framed by brushed steel and clear plastic, the pods are separated by low partitions that slide open for passing paper clips and gum.

"Privacy is key to a worker's sense of territory...
...signature films of Subway?s early festivals were spectacularly lurid: Herman Yau?sThe Untold Story from Hong Kong, Takashi Miike?s Visitor Q from Japan. This was the midnight-movie aesthetic run amok, a hazing at the coolest frat house on campus. Inevitably, as they grew older and threw their net wider, the Subway programmers acquired a more mature taste. Should I say, "I?m sorry to say"? Maybe. I miss the regularity of the shock value in their early selections. The last few Asian Film Festivals have been more like real film festivals, with selections that have won best...
