A MUST SEE FLICK!!! It's on IFC tonight at 11pm (now).

Plot is too complicated to try to explain here. Just envision JFK is black and Elvis is his roommate.

I really hate B. Campbell movies.

I haven't seen this one so I'll watch.

If it sucks expect a letter from my lawyer seeking reconpense on my behalf.

I've heard nothing but greatness about this flick. I've heard 3 or 4 interviews about it while it was being filmed in Dallas, but never seen it until tonight. We'll see....

Have to say Elvis going to Nacodoches is pretty damn funny by itself.

LOL, did you see the end of the credits? Elvis will return in Bubba Ho-Tep II.

All in all, it was a good indie flick. There was serious buzz about it when it was released. Recast it, up the budget from less than $1M, and you could have something.

Personally, I like Bruce Campbell and most of the projects he's been in.

And in related late night viewing, there's a Rifleman marathon on Encore Westerns. PA! PA!!!

Bubba Ho-Tep is a great film. Ossie Davis' last picture, alas.
Possibly Bruce Campbell's best role

I have some friends that are bonafide Bruce fans. I keep telling them, "There's a reason why Bruce's name begins with the letter 'B'."

They think Army Of Darkness is the greatest film of all time.

To each their own I guess.

Well, yeah. Otherwise it would be "Ruce" which is kinda dumb.

I'm not gonna say he's a genious or anything, but I've enjoyed just about everything I've seen him in. And Army of Darkness may be the most quotable movie evah!.

Bring back Brisco County, Jr!!!!

Quite possibly one of the best TV shows of all time..

I do miss that one.
