Quint visits the set of BUBBA HO-TEP with Pictures!!! Starring the god that is Bruce Campbell
"COME AN' GIT IT, YOU UNDEAD SACK A' SHIT!" -ELVIS PRESELY AS
PLAYED BY BRUCE CAMPBELL IN BUBBA HO-TEP
Ahoy there, squirts. 'Tis the very excited and totally crusty
seaman, Quint here and I'm just as pleased as punch to get this series
kicked off here. I spent 2 weeks in LA last April on the set of Don
(Phantasms 1-4, Beastmaster) Coscarelli's new movie Bubba Ho-tep, starring
Bruce Campbell as a 70 year old Elvis (the real one) and Ossie Davis as an
elderly black man who thinks he is JFK.
But more on the awesome characters and the totally out there story
line in a minute. I need to get some of the pre-set stuff out of the way
first. I can tell you've got a lot of questions. "QUINT! HOW EVER DID YOU
GET ACCESS TO THIS MOVIE SET?" Good question. It all started at the place of
magic known to us mortal filmgoers as the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Austin,
TX. This was April Fool's Weekend of 2000. Tim and Karrie League, the way
cool owners of the Alamo, had booked an event called PHANTASMANIA, a
screening of all four of the Phantasm films over 2 days with the director,
Don, in attendance with the stars of the Phantasm series, Angus
"Boooooooooooooy" Scrimm and Reggie "It gets hard on the road" Bannister.
Now, I bought my tickets early. I love the Phantasm series, have
since those late night summer viewings of Phantasm 2 on HBO back in my
puberty days. Well, to be honest, I love the first three films and like the
fourth, but I think the shoestring budget really hindered that last film,
but I still like it. So, I was there and I met the gang and kept finding
myself talking to Don. For whatever reason our personalities clicked and we
became instant friends.
After PHANTASMANIA we traded numbers, email addresses and the like
and he offered his spare bedroom anytime I found myself in LA. I ended up
taking him up on that offer last October when I went out to the city of sin
to catch Anchor Bay's screening of a mint and restored print of Halloween at
the Egyptian Theater (you can read about that adventure
here!). I spent 5 days at
Don's place, got to know his family and dogs real well and had a blast.
Now, he'd been trying to raise money for the fifth and final
installment in the Phantasm series and had met with very little success.
Even though he was always talking about getting this last Phantasm film
made, he was developing another project based on a short story by Joe R.
Lansdale called Bubba Ho-tep. When he talked to me about Bubba, he had
excitement in his eyes, hurried speech. I could tell he was very proud of
the screenplay adaptation he had written and was eager to get going on the
project. That spark in his eye just didn't seem to be there when he talked
about Phantasm 5, not due to lack of excitement about the project... it's
just that he'd been trying to raise money for it over the last 2 years, you
know? The chance of the final Phantasm film getting made was depleting the
more time went on.
But then he'd get on the subject of Bubba Ho-tep again. I had no
idea what the hell he was talking about. He mentioned something about Elvis
or an Elvis impersonator. He talked about getting somewhere on the financing
of the picture. He mentioned talking with (Bitchtits/Eddie) Meatloaf about
playing Elvis at one point, but that not going anywhere.
Then when I was staying at his place for the Halloween event, he
ran me over to KNB because he needed to have a secret meeting with Bob
Kurtzman. I was all, "Fine. You go talk with Bob and I'll check out KNB's
labs and shit." Later that night at the pre party for Halloween, I ran into
Bruce Campbell for the first time. All this is in my LA Adventure which I
linked above, but what I didn't put in my LA Adventure story was that was
the night I found out that Don wanted Bruce to play Elvis in this movie he
was doing... and that Bruce was gung-ho about it.
Before I left LA, I made Don promise me that I'd get to hang out
on the set of Bubba. He promised and I flew home with a smile on my face.
Cut to a couple months later and I hear that he's definitely in
preproduction on Bubba. I start to find out more about the story and the
more I heard the cooler the project sounded. Just to let you know, before I
set foot on the set I knew only these facts: Bubba Ho-tep was the name of a
2000 year old Mummy who is stalking the halls of a Texas old age home,
picking off the weak elderly, sucking their souls out of their assholes.
Elvis, who had traded places with an Elvis impersonator back in the early
'70s, is now at that old age home and has to team up with Jack, an elderly
black man who thinks he's JFK, to defeat the mummy, thus saving the old
folks at the home.
Pretty fucking cool sounding, isn't it? Weird, but so terribly
fun sounding. So, I was psyched. I talked to Don and we set some dates for
me to come out. We decided April 10th-18th would work well and I'd get a
full week on set, plus a weekend to dick around with some of my LA buddies.
Just to get this out of the way, I FLEW OUT TO LA AND BACK ON MY OWN DIME!
Sure, the ticket was a promotion from Vanguard Airlines that I had to wait 4
hours in the freezing cold to get, but goddamnit I paid the airport taxes
and got there by myself.
After spending 2 hours in Kansas City (!) in my layover between
Austin and LA (since K.C. is right on the way to California from Texas,
right?), I finally landed in LA and was met by a girl who went by the name
of Ash. No joke! Born Ashley, she was one of the PAs on Bubba Ho-tep, a
really cute California blonde girl, and we shot off to the set, which was in
Downey, a small town just outside of LA. We chatted a bit and I found out
she was basically Bruce's personal assistant on the film. She always picked
him up at the beginning of the day and dropped him off at the end of the
day, not to mention fetch him whatever he wanted or needed while onset. She
told me Bruce had to spend at least 2 hours each morning in the makeup chair
getting his old age Elvis makeup put on and about an hour each night getting
it taken off.
She also told me that just a few days before I arrived Bruce had
showed up on set without his Elvis makeup and almost gave some of the crew
members a heart attack. They couldn't believe it was the same person they
have been filming for the last 2 weeks. At least those that were uninitiated
to the living legend that is Bruce Campbell. Everyone else obviously knew
what he looked like from his past films.
Now, my plane got into LAX around 11pm and we wound up getting to
set around midnight. For the 2 weeks I was there, most of the filming was
night shooting. Dusk till dawn. Outdoors. In upper '30s to lower '40s
temperatures. Good thing I brought my jacket, I thought. I mean, the shark
on the lower half of the body is good insulation and all, but my manly upper
body got really cold during those night shoots, let me tell you.
Don had told me before I left that I would arrive on Ossie Davis's
last day of shooting, but when we got there, since my flight had been
delayed about an hour, Ossie had already finished shooting his last scene in
the film. I was totally bummed out. I mean, this man is living history! He
gave the eulogy at Malcolm X's funeral, for god's sake! I was so looking
forward to seeing this prestigious actor play a crazy old coot who thinks
he's John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Oh well.
I had, however, gotten there in time for lunch. I saw the crew
come in and grab some grub while warming up a bit. Then in walked Don, a
little weary, but standing strong. He saw me, came over and gave me a hug
while we greeted each other. "How's shooting going?" "Long, but I can't
complain. How was your flight." "Long, but I can't complain." etc.
We grabbed some food and went into his office and got caught up.
While I was feeding my shark intravenously, I asked, "So, Don. What
excitement do you have for me tonight?" He smiled and said, "How about Bruce
as Elvis fighting the mummy?" Perfect! I was ready to see this fucker start
shooting.
Before we finished dinner, though, we got to talking about the
status of the film itself. Bubba Ho-tep is a total, honest to god indie
film. Don raised all the money from private investors and there are no
studio ties whatsoever right now. That's good in a way, because they have
the freedom to do whatever strikes their fancy, but it also means that as of
right now the film doesn't have distribution. It'll get it, I have no doubt,
but both of our big fears were that the only distribution Bubba would get
would be straight to video, which would be a damn shame. I still haven't
seen the film yet, but as of June of 2001 I've read the script and have seen
them film half the movie and I'll still say that this film would kick the
asses of just about any fan of B movies and all of Bruce Campbell's fans
will shit themselves silly over it. Wanna know the feeling of the film?
Think Tremors, but weirder and R rated. That's the tone of the film...
Anyway, back to the story:
Out we went, into the cold, cold night. They were shooting in a
little park-like area on the practical set, which was an abandoned school of
some kind, I believe. Don introduced me to some of the crew members. I met
the producer, Jason Savage, the first AD, Rosa, the sound guys, Mike and
Paul and a bunch of others. Don goes off to consult with Adam Janeiro, the
Director of Photography on the film, on what they're going to do in this
next shot.
I saw long, flat planks of wood being laid down on the grass for
about 60 feet or so. There were some crew members working on the camera
dolly, attaching an electric wheelchair onto the front of it so when the
dolly is being pulled back, the wheelchair will be pulled along with it,
giving the effect similar to what you would see if you mount the camera on a
moving object, like mounting the camera on the hood of a car during a chase
scene. Pretty cool.
They were working on this for a bit and when they were finally
ready, they sent Ash off to fetch Bruce from his trailer. A few minutes
later, The King entered the park, fully decked out in a white studded
jumpsuit, cape, glimmering belt and all.
The makeup job on Bruce is incredible. Exquisitely detailed down
to the smallest wrinkle. He looked astounding. The hair, the sideburns, the
jumpsuit, the diamond studded rings, the sunglasses... then he spoke. My
hat's off to Bruce. He came up with the perfect voice for this character.
It's not fully Elvis, but a nice amalgam of Bruce's natural voice and the
traditional Elvis drawl with some old codger grunts and heavy breathing
thrown in there for the perfect accent for this character. Listening to it,
I had no doubt that's what Elvis would have sounded like if he had lived to
the age of 70.
The makeup people (the two Melanie's) do some last minute touch
ups on Elvis's face and hair as the first shot I witnessed started up. Elvis
got situated in the wheelchair and the scene called for him to look
intensely forward, into camera I believe, charging at Bubba. Elvis slows to
a stop and whistles loudly, pauses and says, "Come an' git it, you undead
sack a' shit!"
They did this shot a few times and Bruce did a great job. He was
really into staying in character during shooting, but sometimes between
takes you'd hear the Elvis drawl drop and hear Bruce's voice clearly say,
"Ahh, hey Don..." and he'd ask about trying out something new or ask how the
scene is flowing, etc. Over the next two weeks, just about every day you'd
hear that familiar voice echo out. "Hey Don!" (pronounced more like Dawn
than Don).
Anyway, they got that shot and began setting up a big hand to hand
fight sequence between Elvis and Bubba. Well, hand to hand isn't exactly
correct. It was more like walker to hand combat. They called veteran stunt
man and long time Coscarelli collaborator Bob Ivy onto set. Bob was the man
in the mummy outfit and when he came onto set my heart stopped.
This mummy get up is fucking terrific! Creepy as all hell and
incredibly detailed. Bob Kurtzman of KNB FX spent a lot of time perfecting
this outfit and I have to say it's the coolest design for a mummy I've seen
in a very long time. It blows away anything in either of Fraser's Mummy
flicks. I have it on good authority that I'll get to give you guys a sneak
peek at this badass villain sometime really soon.
So, Don and Adam get Elvis and Bubba together to choreograph the
fight scene. They decide to shoot the scene between two huge trees.
Basically, Bruce is hobbling along with his walker, looking for Bubba and
ready to kick ass. Watching Don work with the actors on this was very
interesting. I got to see the scene evolve. Both Bruce and Bob Ivy were
throwing in suggestions and the end result was a really intense bit of
action. The mummy acted very animalistic. lunging and snapping at Elvis,
held back only by Elvis's walker. I know it sounds comedic and to a degree
it is, but the intensity of the attack on Elvis surprised me and I think it
will surprise you folks, too.
Don and crew were now fighting the clock. Sunup was looming and
they started shooting this sequence. The performances were great, the action
was well handled and the shot looked pretty good from the monitor I was
watching. But Don wasn't finding the pacing he was looking for. He was
getting a little peeved because he wasn't finding his flow, Bruce was
getting a little peeved because he'd been repeating the same scene for an
hour, the crew was getting a little peeved because it was cold as a witch's
tit, as the saying goes, and Bob Ivy wasn't peeved at all. He's just such a
nice guy, I don't think it's in him to get peeved. But, he did have special
contacts in that were beginning to irritate his eyes and needed to come out
real soon.
In the end, the sun won. Don didn't get what he wanted from that
scene that night, but was confident they'd find it the next night.
Everything started being struck as the crew closed everything down in the
early twilight hours. Don made arrangements for me to be taken to my hotel
in Downey. Yes, they were paying for my hotel, but only for 3 nights for
that week. The rest of the time was to be spent at Moriarty's exotic lab and
spa. And let me tell you straight up, the hotel was extremely cheap. It was
a crappy little hotel, but you know what? It was warm. It had a bed and a
shower, which was all I needed.
So, I got a ride to my hotel from a PA named Em, who had a passing
resemblance to a late teens Drew Barrymore. I turned on the heater full
blast and curled up in bed. The next night was a big one. There was a huge
stunt that was to occur. Somebody was to be set on fire. Hehehehehehe. I
couldn't wait... but I was exhausted and fell into unconsciousness easily
where a world full of old Elvis's, creepy mummies and lots of cables and T
stands awaited me.
See you at the next report, squirts. You had to go through a lot
of back story with this one, but the rest of the Bubba Ho-tep set reports
should move quite a bit faster, without all the hoopla at the beginning.
I'll try to get at least two a week up for you guys. We'll see how it works
out.
So, we've come to the end of the first day. I'm gonna call it a
night, but fear not my fellow seamen and lovely mermaids, for I won't leave
you all alone. As I bid you a fond farewell and adieu, allow me to introduce
you to a friend of mine.
Ta-ta.

Cant wait to see Bruce against the undead sack of shit. And I too will be in the presence of Bruce this Friday at the Alamo Drafthouse. I can't wait much longer to see this film though. Quint, how do you get all the good stories?
-
cannot wait!!!!!!
-
Aw, c'mon, we want, no, NEED to see this mo-fo badass on the friggin' HUGE screen! I don' care if you gots a 83" digital plasma video monitor with triple comb filters, hdtv ready with air conditioning and a microwave, direct-to-video spells doom for any kind of project! Remember Darkman 2 and 3? Okay, well, yes, but we're all geeks here! Ask Joe Public if he remembers those films! Joe R. Lansdale is a damned fine writer, Bruce, well, he's Bruce, and Bubba-Ho-Tep should be in a THX certified, 75 friggin' foot Brand-Spanking-New theater screen! 'Nuff said!
-
Campbell as a mummy fighting-Elvis and Ossie Davis thinking he's JFK- this thing can't fail!
-
This article is just too long to read, but it got me hyped to see this movie. Remembering Phantasm always bring a smile to my face, and now thinking of Bubba Ho-Temp does too. I just hope there is a scene where Elvis celebrates with a fried banana and peanut butter sandwich and a chocolate cake.
-
This movie sounds about as cool and exciting as a blistering outbreak of genital warts.
-
I missed getting tickets for the Bruce Campbell weekend, dammit. I might mill around outside the Alamo, singing "Island's in the Stream" in hopes that some kind heart will give me a ticket. And, dammit Quint, you don't need to explain that you paid for your trip and everything. It's really none of anybody's damn business who pays for what. You don't have to defend yourself. If a studio or director wants to foot the bill for any of the AICN staff to visit their productions then, hey, that's great. It's an honor and a privilege that many don't get to experience so revel in the joy that is filmaking and make no excuses. So what if some of the studio's motives are nothing more than buying your approval. Just live in the moment that is now, being on set, shooting the shit with some really cool people, and learning, learning, learning. That's all you can do and all we should expect from you.
-
What an incredible combination. Only Don Coscarelli would've thought of teaming Bruce Campbell with a great classic actor like Osie Davis.
-
Ask him if we're ever gonna see his "Kenny & Co." (1976) on video.

As Bubba terrorizes the old folks, Paula Poundtone heads for the
by rufus_t_firefly
But enough about the sequel. This flick looks kewl with a capital "K."
-
I had the grand opportunity of chatting with Mr. Bannister at the Motor City Comicon in May and he told me about just wrapping the shoot. I can't for the life of me remember what part he's playing, but it's good to know that he's in there! Kind of lends the flick street cred with Ice Cream Salesmen!
-
James LeGross played the role of Mike in Phantasm II? Then A. Michael Baldwin came back in Phantasm III and IV as Mike. I know there's a story behind this, so if someone could clear that up that would be Phantastic!
-
I am a BC fan and I believe that this movie will kick major asshole. Perfect actor for Elvis and one of the best. Give him a lifetime achievement award dammit!!!
-
C stand you idiot
-
Bob Kurtzman is the king of special make-up. I read he's directing something for Dimension. Is that true?
-
Actually, there's not much of a story behind it. I remember reading Fangoria when PHANTASM II was coming out, and Don Coscarelli explained that Mike Baldwin had since retired from acting and was too busy raising a family to participate in the sequel, so they hired this unknown kid James LeGros. Cut to five years later when Don's filming PHANTASM III, and James LeGros is a slightly higher profile actor (having since appeared in DRUGSTORE COWBOY and SINGLES)--I'm guessing James wouldn't have been interested in returning to the series. So suddenly, "A" Michael Baldwin comes back. There's no real explanation as to why he came back; I always just assumed his kids were a little older, he was buddies w/ Don, and could use a little extra $.
-
Thanks for the information. I didn't know that. After listening to the commentary on the Phantasm DVD, that subject was never brought up. In fact, they never even mentioned James LeGross, but I can see why as it was Phantasm and not Phantasm II. The commentary on the Phantasm DVD was incredible. I highly recommend that DVD. So was Angus Scrimm in the studio watching the movie with Don, Mike, and Bill or was it patched in? At first it seems obvious that Angus wasn't there, but towards the end it becomes somewhat seamless. Maybe he was on a separate mic or something.
-
Ossie Davis is even cooler, and just for the chance to see one of the last great character actors strut his stuff onscreen in a major role is more than enough of a reason for me to check this one out when it hits. After all after the loss of such greats character actors as Ray Walston, Walter Matthau, Jack Lemmon, Jason Robards, Deforest Kelley, George C. Scott and Jason Miller in recent years, just to name a few we are really starting to lose a lot of the greats, and it will be a sad day indeed when all we have left is the latest pretty boy actors, and the odd older celeb from the 20 million plus club. Rock on Ossie.

cough_cool -- this is what REALLY happened with "Phantasm II"
by elgyn6655321
"Phantasm II" was produced by...Universal. Universal told Don Coscarelli he had a choice: only ONE of the returning actors (Michael Baldwin or Reggie Bannister) could return. The other character wold have to have a new, 'mainstream' actor. So he kept Reggie Bannister (imagine Reggie played by a different actor!), and got James LeGros to play Mike, since Mike was a kid in Part One anyway, and he was older in Part Two. Universal had no involvement in 3 and 4 (as far as I know), so Baldwin could come back.
-
Fuck all of you who got tix to see the chin at the Alamo. Fuck you Quint for getting on the set of Bubba-ho-tep (Thanks for the article though). Fuck anyone who doesn't think this movie will ROCK!!! It will be the king of B-movies!
-
The first thing is this film needs to drop the "sucking souls out via the asshole". Please, people, think of the children. Second, Quint... The shark has to go. I know, I know, it is kinda cute, but do you wanna know why your flight was somewhat unpleasent? The shark up the ass man! The shark up the ass! Otherwise that was one excellent article and I WILL be reading the next installments.
-
Thats too cool. Man, I wish i was going to be at the Alamo, Bruce is so fucking great. This role sounds perfect for him, I cant wait to hear his elvis impersonation. Fucking Ossie davis?! no way. I just hope I get to see this on the big screen!
-
I was an extra on the movie and can say that from what I saw being shot, which was concert stuff it looked really great. Bruce is really in charcter which should be cool. Last night I saw a sneak preview of Jay and silent bob strike back. It was fucking great, anyways cant wait for the next installment.
-
Sure he was cool in Evil Dead 2, but what else of significance has he done in his entire life? If you answered "Jack shit," go to the head of the class.
-
I've got that ear to ear grin (that when I see on other people I want to punch them) on my face right now. I've know about this film for a long time and am very happy to still be hearing about it. For the love of bob please Don't let this film go streat to video! I'm not too sure who I was saying that to, but still don't let it! Bruce is just one of those people I've always wanted to see make it BIG. I mean bigger then just a cult super star. He's our Vincent Price! (In his own way that is) I'm always happy to hear people talking about PHANTASM as well! Next to the Evil Dead films it's my favorite horror saga. The Grin on my face just reached a Aphex Twin: Richard D. James Album cover scale (in other words very big and scarry) at the thought of both Evil Dead And Phantasm at the same time. Ahh... I feel happy now.
-
Uh no. That's where I draw the line.
-
Hail, St. Bruce! Favored art thou amongst all of fandom. We look to you for entertainment, idolatry and funny lines to crib for future conventions, parties and talk back rants. Long may you live and prosper in this land!
-
...Before you even read the premise for this film, that is the GREATEST title for a film you've seen in decades.
-
Who gives a toasty shit about Bruce Campbell? Why do some of you fanboy pukes want this mildly-talented at best actor for EVERY FRIGGING ROLE THAT COMES ALONG???!!!! You wanted him as Spiderman, Wolverine, hell probably even Harry Potter!
Grow up and get over your geek infatuation with this nobody. While you're at it, quit drooling over Raimi too. Darkman was a piece of shit, and when the Comicnerds see what he does to Spider-man, they'll want his head on a frigging pike!
This fucking site is sucking donkey cock lately, Harry. Get something worth reading!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -
Some of you might try reading the original story "Bubba Ho-Tep" in the amazing short story collection "Writer of the Purple Rage", Joe R. Lansdale. He's funny, with a dark sense of humor, and a great way with words. His stories blend many genres, and you'll likely become fans of his work.
-
I just wanted to say that if Bruce is in it, It's gotta be good
-
Have you tried E-mailing a report on Episode II ? It worked for me on Dark Wonderland... Try it.
-
Everybody (well almost everybody) get's so pissed around here when somthing that's not there thing is posted. They bitch, they cry, they say they're never coming back here because this and that is SO messed up on the site... then I see them back on the next day! (oftin still bitching) Maybe (and this is just a theory) if enough people stop coming here they'll take a hint? Maybe not. Also keep in mind this is kind of a film geek site and that there are many different species of geek out there. When you try to put them all together in the same room with lots of non geek types as well... Your not going to get any camp fire songs and like every thing you see and read. So my advice is this... do read articals you have no interest in and E-mail Harry to do more of what you want. (Why I'm trying to get every body to get along i have no idea!) Anyway or you can just not come here or you can stay here and sit around bitching. I don't really care too much...
-
What I meant to say was "So my advice is this... do NOT read articals you have no interest in, read the ones you are, and E-mail Harry to post more of what you want." And also if you don't read the the ones you have no interest in then you will have more time on your hands which is almost allways good.
-
"Ahoy there, squirts. 'Tis the very excited and totally crusty
seaman,..."
Am I the only person who was somewhat nonplaused by the reference to crusty seaman in the first paragraph. And squirts. And very excited. As for the movie...if you watch this film, and you are male, you will not get laid. I don't know what it is, but just because Bruce Campbell made a big impression on you during Evil Dead 2/Army of Darkness, it doesn't mean ANY WOMAN ON EARTH will talk to you agian if you make her watch a film about mummies stealing souls by sucking geriatric ass. That's just nasty. -
God bless ya,Gulag!! I really needed that! It's 4AM here and I'm trying keep my eyes open until the shift is over. The accuracy of your humorous post will surely keep me awake and laughing for at least an hour. Nothing else I've read on AICN tonight was half as interesting.

Bruce Campbell is going to be in Indianapolis on July 15th for the www.hulkathon.com lan party.
He's doing a book signing, Q&A and showing his new film Fanalysis.
Wouldn't it be great if Don could get his camera here, get Bruce in makeup and film him as Elvis watching them implode Market Square Arena!!!
A tear could be shown going down Elvis's cheek and the place falls to the ground.
FYI: Market Square Arena is the place Elvis performed his last concert before his "death", and many Elvis fans have been storming the city demanding that they don't tear Market Square Arena now. There have been protests by Elvis fans about it.
oh well, just a silly idea, but thought it might be cool.
Hope to see you here in Indy when we party with the Chin!

can some one tell me what is so fucking special about bruce camp
by pyschopath
can some one tell me what is so fucking special about bruce campbell?
come all you fan boy whiners...articulate, elucidate...give me some reasons... -
I forgot all about seeing that TB until you mentioned it! I saw the topic this AM just before leaving work and was actually looking forward to reading it(unlike most of the current topics-do you think they can post ONE MORE AI header?! I can't read them because I haven't seen it and the tb's contain too many spoilers!) JP3 was something that shouldn't be spoiled by too much information...people have stupid reason for returning to island, dinosaurs see people, dino's chase people, dino's get snacky, remaining people look horrified, remaining people run until next dinos get the munchies after smoking too much pokololo and start seeing the fleeing people as mobile white cheddar Cheeto's! "Hey, Spiney-Dude, look at that, WTF?!" "Brudda-T, I think smoke too much...the snacks, they go!" "Spiney-Dude, get your board, dude, and let's munch before they get away."...........Where's the JP3?!?
-
Thanks for the info, GunsBlazing. Guess we'll just have to wait a little longer for a real report.
-
I think it would have been enough just to update the talkback and not to delete it.
-
BTW this "forum" sucks a bit, cause you cannot simply navigate in the flood of "topics". Too many of them. And the biggest problem is that you never know if anyone has posted something in an older talkback. If you're too late, your opinions will be ignored by the audience.
-
Hey if you can't get to see bruce where you are come to the Indy at the Hulkathon on July 14th/15th.
Try www.hulkathon.com
We're doing a pig roast and the whole shootin match. -
What kinda sick fucks go outta there way to make other people feel bad about liking Bruce Campbell? I like the color red, is that wrong also? Fuck you. Bruce is signing his new book "if chins could kill" in seattle, and i'm going. if you don't like it, see A.I. Now that was a piece of uninspired drivel that made me want to kill myself, but that's my opinion. if you like it, great. stop picking fights, you dumb fucks. you ain't no better, and you're lives must be boring as hell. peace out.

is indeed a great sfx man. He aint to good a director though. The Demoluitionist was....er...okay, so there was the Demolitionist (which did have Bruse Abbot from Re Animator so that was okay) then Wishmaster....a step up I s'pose. And he was gonna direct From Dusk Til Dawn. Okay so he aint that bad. Kinda fun. Kinda goofy. A hell of a lot better than John (Virus) Bruno as sfx-turned-director. Isn't he doing Chimera with Dark Castle Entertainment? I know Chris McQuarries on that gig but I thought the Kurtz was there also. Might be the injection he needs.

Little story . . .
Bruce was here in Savannah doing a book signing at a local chain store. Two people ahead of me in line, a girl fainted from low blood sugar. Bruce halted the whole thing. Told the manager of the store to go get some milk with sugar in it from the coffee stand. Went over and helped the girl into a chair, talked her through it while her boyfriend went to get her medication. He was a complete class act.
That's why I like him. He might be an actor, but he didn't forget to be a person.
