Bubba Ho-tep, relentlessly tumbles around with images and words as I tilt my head, just won’t leave me alone. The wird mix of arthouse independent and downright quirky lowbudget horror is oddly appealing as well as damn fun.

The Bruce giving a great performance as the previous king—all Bruce-fans know that Ash’s the real king—and Ossie Davis JFK is one to be remembered. But mostly I remember the hat, the cowboy hat used by the mummy.

Watch it now and savor the slow pace for the gift it is.

1. Bubba rules!
   By the by: Booo (s)creamed in my ear that you have some New X-men albums with you. Could one maybe borrow them for a week or something?

3. vol 3: New Worlds
   vol 4: Riot At Xavier’s

4. Glad this film has been released finally – I read loads about it but it didn’t seem to ever get released. Nice review – I’ll check it out.
   
   Long live Elvis

5. Rick: despite the fact that it’s now out on DVD, the Box Office release is still growing. I wouldn’t be surprised if it still is shown at the big screen in two years time.

6. I want to see this one. Although Elvis and Nixon would have been nicer. They really did meet. Nixon made Elvis a narc. At least you can´t blame the King for lack of research.

7. To be honest, it ain’t that good. Sure, Bruce is always Bruce – even in a mind numbing slow movie with horrible editing and pretty stupid script. It isn’t bad, nope. It’s good, but not good-good. Just “Ok, I could have used those 90 minutes doing more boring things” good. I guess people will say it rules, because Bruce is in it. Bruce rules. Sadly this movie is mostly just plain boring.

8. Tommy: You are weird. Was there not enough blood and gore for you, either? Not enough cowbell? Not enough wild Elvis/JFK/Mummy hardcore gay cumfilled threesome scenes?
   — Boo    (@ 5. June 2004, 18:43)
9. Boo: Look, young silly boy, it was way too boring. Too fucking slow. I want more action. It’s a fucking horror movie. The concept is interesting, but the result is mediocre.
   
   You Bruce-fuckers could watch a four hour movie with Bruce sitting on a chair, doing nothing more, and still rise it to the skys saying it was the greatest movie this year.
   
   You’re the weird ones! Fuckers.
   — Tommy    (@ 5. June 2004, 22:13)
10. Tommy: Oh, shut the fuck up you fucking fuck-fuck. You don’t know fuck about fuck, fucker. Fuck.
    
    (Harsh words, but they were said with a lot of love. I promise, fucker.)
    — Boo    (@ 5. June 2004, 23:50)
11. Tommy Fatsquash: I never saw it as horror, but more akin to Running Time. And I think it’s pretty far from being the best I’ve seen this year.
    — Nicklas    (@ 6. June 2004, 00:14)
12. Tommy is right – the film was slow and not at all everything it was cranked up to be. On the other hand even Tommy seems to be Buffy-blind so I guess Ola is the only sane one except for myself.
    
    You’re all a bunch of bastards, by the way.
    — skeptikern    (@ 6. June 2004, 09:09)
13. You’re just cranky because you hyped it up to the best movie of the year without even seen it. (Dumbass.) It fit pretty well with that i heard it would be: a slow-paced supernatural drama. I got no problem with that. But if you even after that expects a splatterfest with the Bruce holding a chainsaw and manic camera-work, of course it’s going to suck. So where do you get your hype from? The circle jerks at AICN? But then again, you probably wouldn’t like Firefly, so what do you know?
    — Nicklas    (@ 6. June 2004, 14:03)
14. “A slow-paced supernatural drama”? That is NOT the way the movie company has pushed it to be. If you put Bruce Campbell as a crazy old Elvis, in a movie together with a soul eating zombie – you’re not really creating the image of a “slow-paced drama”. Bubba did not reach it’s expections.
    
    Oh, you fucking wankers! Your fat cum has blocked your last braincells, you twisted asshole eating motherfucking crap for brain fuck-fuckers! Go fuck yourself and your fucking crappy assfucked movie! Fuck!
    
    Yeah. Hell, yeah.
    — Tommy    (@ 7. June 2004, 08:48)
15. Really? Gosh, had no idea. I’ve stopped paying any attention to the movie company wankathons.
    
    Oh, and stop using the word fuck so much you fucking muff ripper.
    — Nicklas    (@ 7. June 2004, 12:14)
16. I´m officially resigning from this bunch. Fucking wanking fuckbastards. I would much rather hang out (pun indeed intended) with some people that you can get in to a Fletch-quote competition with. I did this last night with myself and had a jolly time. This doesn´t mean I won´t come (P.I.I.) when it´s time for coofee. I just won´t say anything. I will just sit there, poking my nose (unless some will let me pick his or hers) singing “We built this city, built this, we built this city on rock´n´roll”.
    — Ola    (@ 7. June 2004, 12:24)
17. Nicklas: Muff ripper?! I’ll rip your muff, motherfucker! You’re the fucking muff ripper! Fuck you!
    
    Ola: Shut the hell up and go fuck yourself, you fucking cocksmoker. Go get a 5 dollar blowjob from a Chinese fuckwhore with razorsharp teeth.
    
    Rock on! It’s monday and I’m in a “Fuck You World”-mode! Fuck! I’m great! I’m fucking Denis Fucking Leary-great! Burn in hell, stupid puny humans!
    — Tommy    (@ 7. June 2004, 15:19)
18. Sadly, this is the most fun I’ve had in three days.
    — Tommy    (@ 7. June 2004, 15:20)
19. I blame it on rap music.
    — Tommy    (@ 7. June 2004, 15:21)
20. I blame it all on drugs. Or in my case, the absence of drugs. Get me some fucking drugs, you whining bitches!
    — Boo    (@ 7. June 2004, 15:31)
21. Boo: You want drugs? I’ll give you drugs! You just close close your eyes and suck it out of a hose!
    
    Ride the snake, motherfucker, ride the snake!!!
    — Tommy    (@ 7. June 2004, 16:03)
22. Tommy: Some of us are getting worried about. When was the last time you had a good wank?
    — Ola    (@ 7. June 2004, 17:42)
23. Ola: You should know. Way I hear it, you were there, and even gave him a hand. Hah!
    — Boo    (@ 7. June 2004, 20:40)
24. Boo: I said a good wank. The one you are talking about was kind of a failure.
    — Ola    (@ 7. June 2004, 21:06)
25. Ola: Sorry to hear. Did the actual fucking work better for ya, or was that as much a failure as the wank?
    — Boo    (@ 7. June 2004, 22:36)
26. Hey! HEY! You fat evil bastard! No Ola-fucking with this dude, ay’ight?! My asshole may be highway, but it’s a one way road. Nothing goes in. Fucking nothing.
    — Tommy    (@ 8. June 2004, 09:47)
27. Tommy: Oh, come on, you gonna tell me there’s nothing at all between the two of you? Bullshit, I’ve seen the looks you give each other when we’re having coffee, or the disappointment in Ola’s voice when you can’t join us. Really, it’s quite obvious.
    
    Besides, you are, after all, a rich IT-hippie and we all know you rich IT-hippie-guys need cock once in a while.
    — Boo    (@ 8. June 2004, 14:03)
28. Boo: I can’t help that everyone that ever meet me falls in love with me. It’s not my fault. I can’t turn on my natural charm and sex appeal. It’s just there, okey!
    
    The only cock I need is my own. In my right hand. Constantly. Hey – I’m a man. I need to know my dick is there. Always.
    
    Oh, yeah, by the way – fuck you.
    — Tommy    (@ 8. June 2004, 15:03)
29. Tommy: You wanna fuck me too? Oh man, I’m really quite touched, but what will Ola say?
    — Boo    (@ 8. June 2004, 16:15)
30. Boo: What I would say? How about fucking wankfucker?
    — Ola    (@ 8. June 2004, 16:42)
31. Threesome! But without me, ofcourse. Huh. That’s not really a threesome? Or is it, if both of the guys are dreaming about a third while going on? This is a subject I will drop.
    
    Now, go fuck yourself, you hoursedick eating motherfucking asswhiping fucking dickshit dumbfucks!
    — Tommy    (@ 9. June 2004, 08:06)
32. I havn’t slept in three days now. I can’t even insult properly. Am I asleep? Am I awake? Have I been asleep all along?
    — Tommy    (@ 9. June 2004, 08:08)
33. Tommy: do you know Tyler Durden?
    — Nicklas    (@ 10. June 2004, 11:59)
34. Nicklas: That’s that dude in that movie with that other guy, what’s it called? You know that flick with that chick, a couple of years ago, and the soundtrack was these songs by that artists, you know. Have you seen it?
    — Tommy    (@ 11. June 2004, 11:23)
35. Tommy: You’re talking about the bestiality-movie. That’s sick, dude!
    — Boo    (@ 11. June 2004, 22:55)
36. Boo: Hey, it was you who bought it and lent it to me! Sick pervert. “Mariah and her farm” was no fun at all.
    — Tommy    (@ 13. June 2004, 17:14)
37. Tommy: It wasn’t meant to be fun. It’s a serious period drama with many interesting psychological and philosofical layers. Plus, of course, those many erotic human/animal love-scenes.
    
    “No fun at all”... get some fucking taste in movies. What did you thing it would be, Adam Sandler getting fucked in the ass by a big dog?
    
    Huh. That actually doesn’t seem like the bad idea I thought it wound sound like.
    — Boo    (@ 13. June 2004, 19:58)
38. Tommy: Oh, and I only bought it because Ola said it was the best movie he ever seen. So it’s not like it’s even my fault.
    — Boo    (@ 13. June 2004, 20:00)
39. Boo: Duh! Ola is a retarded necrophilie and pervert. I told you; do not listen to his advices! I know I’ve stoped listening… Right after that time he told me a car battery would make masturbation more exciting. That fuck face! I peed blood and spoke with a high pitched voice for three weeks.
    — Tommy    (@ 14. June 2004, 08:34)
40. Three weeks, gorramit!!!
    — Tommy    (@ 14. June 2004, 08:34)
41. Tommy: I´m not retarded for fuck´s sake. I´ve just got the drewling.
