My Name is Bruce! - Page 2

Just read it, that's kinda disappointing. As long as it's fun, too bad I won't be able to see it in a theater.

Better or worse than Man With The Screaming Brain?

I'm still going to try to catch the showing here in Madison with him doing the Q&A.

Bruce Campbell presents this at the Ritz Bourse in Philly for the 7:45, 9pm and 10pm shows.

Toledo (actually Suburb of Perrysburg) on 11/20. I am so there. It's rare that we get something like this.

I caught this last night with some friends at the Kendall Cinema in Cambridge and it was great to see this on the big screen with a theater full of fellow Campbell fans. As far as the movie goes, it is quite entertaining and worth catching if it plays near you. Bruce did a Q&A after the show and talked about making the movie, the horror that is Alien Apocalypse, and the "importance" of his roles in the Spider-Man movies. After all, if it wasn't for his character in the first one, we would all be watching movies about the Human Spider. As an added bonus, Grace Thorsen appeared during the Q&A. She plays Kelly in My Name Is Bruce and, after seeing her in person, I can understand why there are so many scenes in the movie where Bruce grabs her butt.

Yeah..... this really isn't good is it? It works on a geek level, like some have said, when you're seeing it on the big screen and the audience energy is high. Outside of that though there isn't a lot that clicks with this film.

It feels a bit Troma-esque, and while I can love Troma films for what they are I expected more from Bruce Campbell. This could have been a fun romp, but the movie goes for the cheap, juvenile laugh so often it becomes almost embarrassing to watch.

Maybe it's my liberal weeny side coming out, but I was a bit taken aback by the jokes made at the expense of gays and asians (a Brokeback reference, really?). I was starting to think the movie was trying to compete with Sarah Palin on how many social groups it could offend.

I know this is all supposed to be tongue in cheek, and not everything can have the heart and sentiment of Bubba Ho-tep, but this could have been much better.

It's not all negative through. Like Alex states in his review; Bruce, as always, is having fun and has a great presence. He also has some great one liners. Grace Thorsen is both cute and capable, and Ted Raimi's inclusion in the movie is validated in one scene as a stereotypical Italian painter.

The Q&A afterward was pretty standard stuff. I have to hand it to Mr. Campbell for being able to answer the same questions over and over again but in such a self aware, humorous way that it's worth watching him talk. He really was a class act and the guy is a good actor, I just wish that he would work on more viable pursuits. The funny thing there is, he doesn't seem interested in doing that. He's aware of what he does, who his fans are and he loves them. You have to admire that.

6.5 out of 10

I caught the Columbus appearance Wednesday night, and for the life of me can't remember much about the movie because I've become obsessed with Grace Thorsen's rack.

In all seriousness, the flick was simply ok. When Campbell wasn't on screen the movie came to a screeching halt.

I'm not one of "those guys", but yeah. Pretty nice.

They are quite a sight to behold.

I guess what took me by surprise by that magnificent display of chest was her first couple scenes she's got a baggy coat on, so when she took it off to reveal the dress underneath there was an audible "Where did THOSE come from" out of every guy in the audience. And probably some of the women too.

Anyone in LA who is interested:

This opens today at the Nuart for one week only.

Bruce Campbell will be at the Friday 7:30pm, 9:50pm, & midnight screenings and the Saturday & Sunday 5:00pm, 7:30pm, & 9:50pm screenings.

Nice. I noticed it was playing, but was unaware of any Chin-presence. I might go see this after all.

Just finished watching the flick via the $1 rental Redbox. It's friggin' hilarious. Had a fun time with it, and got a lot of the inside jokes. Loved seeing Bruce do a lot of physical comedy, and playing himself as sleazy drunken pervert is hilarious. Loved the line "Sleep with the scorpions, bitch!" Genius.

The multiple references to Make Love The Bruce Campbell way were great additions as well. I'll definitely be picking this up.

Oh yeah, love the Guan-Di country song. I want that on MP3 stat.

This is on DVD now? May have to check it out again.

One you, one me Guan-Di..... Guan-Di was his name *nods of approval*
