can't wait for: B.Campbell in "Bubba Ho-tep"

[mr. henry]

last weekend i attended a showing of "Army of Darkness" and a Bruce Campbell lecture. Someone asked if the finished "Bubba Ho-tep" had found a destributer...not yet for Bubba Ho-tep...Bruce went on to describe the flick...i hadn't heard about it (guess i've been under a rock)...

it sounds awesome and has already received high critical acclaim---even from non-horror reviewers...supposedly Campbell's best work in the past eight years or so...it is also directed by the guy who did "Phantasm."

Bruce described it as follows: Elvis is alive and elderly and living in a nursing home. At the height of his fame, he had switched places with an Elvis impersonator. Now he is lonely, suffering a genital disease,  and wondering about his family. No one believes him when he says he is really elvis. Also in the nursing home is a black fellow who believes he is JFK. He believes his skin was dyed by a government agency.

An evil is unleashed in the nursing home in the form of a killer mummy...Elvis and JFK team up to fight the evilness...

Does this sound awesome or what???...if you haven't, check out the film's website...www.bubbahotep.com

Sounds good.

I saw it at the Toronto Film Festival twice.  It is very good, but Don Coscarelli said he found a distributor.  Maybe it fell through.  Nevertheless, it's light years better than the film Cabin Fever which got all the acclaim and a distributor at the festival.

I've been salivating over this one for months now. I can't remember the last time I anticipated a movie so hotly (maybe Super Mario Bros. when I was 8, but apart from that...)

Bruce described the film at the book signing where I met him, and afterward my friend and I told everyone we knew about this sure-to-be-masterpiece. That was over a year ago, and now they all think we're lying. Come on! Release this puppy!

                              Self distribution through the film festival market is the only way(for now) to see this film,which is at least kinda getting a theatrical run,even if it's through the film festival curcuit.
                          Definitely see it through that way while you can:it's really worth the effort.
