Bruce Campbell is The Man - and We're Back

No excuses, the Foundation dropped the ball these past two months, but now we are back and more useless than ever.

I'm not going to waste too much precious Foundation time to explain in in detail the man, the myth, the legend that is Bruce Campbell. If you haven't seen Evil Dead II, Army of Darkness or Bubba Ho Tep, what are you even doing here? Bruce is, basically the King of all "That Guys." So soon have you forgotten The Adventures of Brisco County Jr, or Jack Of All Trades???

I've been an FOB or fan of Bruce for years now. I was lucky enough to get to meet him and have my copy of his best seller, "If Chin's Could Kill" signed. Presently, he's the new spokesman for Old Spice. Old Spice is smart to use quirky marketing to reach a younger audience, as I believe the average has long since made the pages of the book of the dead. His cult status and "Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way" persona, might just give them the street cred they are looking for, so mad props to the marketing genus behind this. The latest ad just premiered this weekend and its even better than ever. So for your viewing pleasure I present, Bruce and Duran Duran:



For more Bruce action, I suggest you check out Spiderman 3 for no other reason than the Bruce cameo. A life long friend of Sam Raimi, Bruce appears in almost every Raimi movie, in addition to many Coen brother films. So far Bruce has been a Wrestling Announcer, a snooty theater usher/manager and now he's at his cult finest playing a snooty, possibly fake french accented matre'd. The movie was kinda lame, but Bruce's five minutes were spectacular. Word is the scene is up on You Tube, Yahoo, but since I don't feel like being sued this week, I'll leave you with that info. Bruce will also be releasing a documentary movie later this year

The Zombie March 2007 had a few references to Bruce this weekend. A sign recommending the election of Bruce in 2008 and a non zombie, Asian Ash from Evil Dead. Stay tuned for more about the Zombie March later this week. Now Gimme some sugar, baby!

I saw Spiderman 3 last night and his scene was by far the highlight of the movie. A distant #2 (heh number 2) was Gwen Stacey's boobs.

I can remember 1996 and every friday Brisco county jr. such a good show.
