Bruce Campbell Forever

Now the debate over how Awesomely Bad this movie is, has raged since the day it came out. I'm of the party that believes it's simply Awesome incarnate, but then that's just me (and thousands and thousands of fellow loyal fans). And so, now, I will tell you about one of my favorite movies of all time. Army of Darkness. If anyone were to quote any part of this movie to me, we would become insta-friends. Even if you called me a primitive screw-head. I would be your BFF. Seriously.

Army of Darkness Poster Movie Japanese 11x17 Bruce Campbell Embeth Davidtz Marcus GilbertThis is technically the third movie in a trilogy but it's not necessary to see the previous two. By all means do, but you don't have to. Our hero is Ash, who with a couple of friends goes to a empty cabin in the woods. Where they find a book. An evil book. (Please insert creepy music.) Being stupid teenagers/early twenties horror movie characters, they read the book aloud. (You know the book that appears to be bound in human skin, and is seemingly written in blood. Yeah. That book.) Then people get possessed, they die, come back... you know the usual. Ash's hand get possessed so he cuts it off ( I'd like to point out this movie came out way before Idle Hands, thank you very much.) with a chainsaw. Then he gets sucked into a vortex. Mind you all of this happened in the first and second movies. But you get a nice recap at the beginning. Army of Darkness starts with him coming out of the vortex, into the (dun dun Duh) past! He has to stop the hordes of Deadites from getting their rotting hands on the Necronomicon (aka the evil book) and destroying the world.
So basically we're doomed. Because all Ash is really concerned with is getting back home, and maybe getting a little something (wink wink, nudge nudge) on the side. Really watch this movie if you've never seen it. I can't emphasize this enough. It could change your life!... I'm not sure how but, you know, maybe. If you have seen it, watch it again and think of me. And always, always, always! Hail to the king, Baby! Bruce Campbell forever.
