I just got done watching Bubba Ho-Tep with Bruce Campbell as Elvis (perhaps) and Ossie Davis as Jack Kennedy (less likely). What a brilliant film. It was not as silly as I'd expected, nor as romp-some, but is instead a poignant look at growing old and all that means. Who'd have guessed that an evil dead movie could use the metaphor to mean something so much more?
Bravo! Give it a watch, especially if you're a Campbell or Elvis fan.
(Oh, and it was only worth 650 calories on the exercycle. Hm. I guess a dark comedy about aging and death doesn't inspire one to pedal quickly....)

I understand, however, that you need to watch it with commentary, because that way you get Bruce Campbell talking about each scene--as Elvis.

Seriously, one of my favorite off-beat flicks.

And I'm guessing you're using "evil dead" as a stylistic association, because I think Bruce is the only connection between the Evil Dead movies and BHT.

Yeah, a sort of double-entendre there....

I hope they do it. I think it's one of Bruce's coolest flicks.
