As I always say, Bruce Campbell is a god.
So who could be better than Bruce Campbell? Only Bruce Campbell himself.
The question is: do we (but we, I ostensibly mean “the masses,” but probably am actually just using the royal “we”) prefer Evil Dead flavor Bruce Campbell or Burn Notice flavor Bruce Campbell?
Let’s find out!
Looks like SamRaimi and Ghost House Pictures have won the Federico Alvarez sweepstakes. A couple of days ago we posted a short film from the young Uruguayan filmmaker called Panic Attack!, which had been spreading across YouTube like wildfire and attracting a lot of attention in Hollywood. Now we have news from the Uruguayan newspaper El País that Alvarez has signed a contract with Sam Raimi’s production company and is set to make his feature film debut with a $30 to 40 million science-fiction film. Clearly they are hoping this will be the next District 9… but can he deliver?
USA Network has renewed its second show in two days: "Burn Notice" has been tapped for a fourth season.
Meanwhile, Fox has picked up the back-nine episodes of the Tim Roth drama "Lie to Me," from 20th Century Fox TV.
"Burn Notice," which stars Jeffrey Donovan as a Miami-based spy, was a key driver of USA's strong perf this summer. Cabler ran nine episodes and will air the remaining seven in January. USA's fourth-season order for Fox Television Studios series comes on the heels of Monday's fifth-season pickup for "Psych."
I just started on a display stand for this today. It's gonna be a severed arm that the saw fits over vertically.
Bo Obama, the First Dog, is possessed by the forces of evil and leading the charge against Ashley J. Williams (the hero portrayed by the immortal Bruce Campbell in the “Army of Darkness”) in the latest issue of the comic miniseries “Ash Saves Obama”.
“Ash Saves Obama” is an offshoot of the popular comic series based on the “Evil Dead” and “Army of Darkness” movies, chronicling the further adventures of retail slave turned Chosen One Williams.
Designed by the amazing Jeff Zornow, this design features all three “Ladies” jumping out of the design in full color madness, ready to swallow the souls of would-be onlookers and recruit them to their legion of the undead!

BAGHDAD, Iraq – On television, actor Jeff Donovan plays a defunct spy who has expertise in explosives and weapons.
Recently, however, at Combat Outpost Meade, south of Baghdad, it was Donovan who took pointers from the Soldiers of 113th Field Artillery Battalion, 30th Heavy Brigade Combat Team.
Donovan was accompanied by Don Campbell, military advisor for the tour, and Bruce Campbell, Don Campbell's brother, and also a cast mate of Donovan.
Bruce Campbell is a star in his own right, from films such as, "Army of Darkness," and "Bubba Hotep." Both Donovan and Bruce Campbell appear on the USA network television show, "Burn Notice."
During their visit at COP Meade, Bruce Campbell and Donovan tried their hand at the firing range and met with Soldiers as part of a morale, welfare and recreation tour throughout Iraq.
"Everybody should support the troops," said Bruce Campbell.
Only a few minutes after landing in a UH-60 Black Hawk, the two actors were greeted by cheers and shouts, "Hey Bruce!"

A 1987 television preview for Sam Raimi's "Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn", second of his outrageous horror trilogy starring the one and only Bruce Campbell as a man beset by supernatural forces in the deep, dark woods.
Here is the trailer for the lost classic remake of the slightly less lost Sam Raimi classic short film.
As you’ve no doubt heard by now, Lou Dobbs abruptly resigned last night as CNN’s 7 p.m. anchor. The network has already named John King as his replacement.
I’m thinking that CNN should have instead gone after the only man ever to achieve cult fame by replacing his own hand with a chain saw.That’s right: CNN should have hired Bruce Campbell.

If you haven't seen "My Name is Bruce" yet, do it and do it now. If you're a Campbell fan, a B-movie fan, or a comedy fan, you really need to see it. It is a freaking imperative. And if you're just a person in the mood for a good time, do yourself a favor and check "My Name is Bruce" out. Despite its general cheesiness, the flick is a hoot. You will have a good time. No question about it.
Description: And from out of the blue, Ash Williams makes his debut in this heated matchup versus the web-slinging wall-crawler, Spiderman...who's in armor no less :P (which means a small Super Armor that comes with it). I apologize for not making as many videos as before, but things have been hectic, and playing Mugen has become a past time for me instead of a project, but I couldn't resist doing a match-up with one of my favorite movie characters, Ash Williams. Especially since I watched the Evil Dead series (again) for Halloween
Sam Raimi is best known as the man behind the "Spiderman" franchise, but he's also widely regarded as a master of the macabre and of horror. After all, he broke through in 1981 with "The Evil Dead" after fixating on horror movies as a child. Before age 10, he was making 8-mm home movies.
"I was always attracted to strong actions. I like strong reactions," he notes quietly. "Subtle comedy wasn't my thing. The Three Stooges, that was my thing. Oh, boy, was that my thing!" he says, fondly laughing. Indeed, many of Raimi's films feature Stooges-like sequences. Asked if they're meant as homages to the zany trio, he simply avers, "I just think they're clever, funny sequences."
If you like German, forklifts, blood, and Sam Raimi style direction and horror, then this is the perfect video for you!
This is a short video a friend and I made in my freshman year for a programming class using Alice. Evil Dead has always been a favorite franchise of mine and when we were told to create a final project the idea of creating a "sequel;" came to mind and we were able to create this. I hope you all enjoy it, if you like Alice you can create a wide number of animated shorts.
Bruce stopped in to watch the play at the 2nd Street Theater in Bend Oregon. He arrived, he rocked the post-production Q&A, spent some time with the cast and crew, signed autographs, and took tons of photos ... and then vanished into the night.
While most Auckland businesses have spent the past year with the recession blues, the city's film production industry — our so-called Westywood — has been quietly prospering, partly thanks to the man who gave us Hercules and Xena.
Over the last twenty years, Sam Raimi’s The Evil Dead (1981) has been celebrated as a rollercoaster ride of terror; a classic horror video hit; an exemplar of the 1980s cycle of tongue-in-cheek and excessively gory horror films; and as the film that introduced the now-iconic character of Ash (played by Bruce Campbell). This study considers the range of factors that have contributed to the film’s continuingly evolving cult reputation – the story of the film’s gruelling production, its journey from Cannes to video and DVD, the film’s play with the conventions of the horror genre, and its status, for fans and critics alike, as one of the grungiest, gutsiest and most inventive films in horror movie history.Click Here To Purchase (US) - Source: www.amazon.com
