YOUR SOUL SUCKIN DAYS ARE OVER, AMIGO!!!

<snort, choke, heehee>

For any Army of Darkness fans, Bruce Campbell shines as a nursing home bound Elvis Presley who kicks undead mummified ass. Short and sweet, this. <where's my wine>

Some memorable quotes:

Elvis: "You nasty thing from beyond the dead, no matter what you think or do, good things will never come to you. And if evil is your black design, you can bet the goodness of the Light Ones..."
[begins to slow the recitation from disbelief]
Elvis: "... will kick your bad behind"?
[muttering to himself]
Elvis: For chrissake!
[to the heavens]
Elvis: That's it? That's the chant against evil from the "Book of Souls"? Oh yeah, right, boss. And what kind of decoder ring comes with that, man? ****, it don't even rhyme well!
Bubba Ho-Tep: [regains consciousness, rises, and speaks in ancient Egyptian] Eat the dog dick of Anubis, you ass-wipe!

But, Ho-Tep's dialog came out of him like bad 50s graphics, they swooped out and lined themselves up for us to view and then there was the translation below.

So you guys liked it????

Ohhh man I love this part.

Elvis: That's it? That's the chant against evil from the "Book of Souls"? Oh yeah, right, boss. And what kind of decoder ring comes with that, man? ****, it don't even rhyme well!

What do you think? "It so sucked my mummy ass" says Kris

(she really meant: "It was right up our alley"... same thing, really)

I told you.

It is the best bad movie ever. There is something about that movie I love.

NOW, your movie should be here in two days and the next one you told me in four days.

why does it take so frigign long? you not on netflix? that takes a day or two, max.

don't forget the green planet korean flick. if you loved Bubba, you're going to be speechless over that one. I promise. And I don't promise often.

I promised the two people I am living with that I would get these two movies for them (one each). They are far from artsy or intelectuals. They can't understand why I would want to watch movies with subtitles.

But now they are appeased and your movies are next.

well it ought to be better than nuthin i figger.

Alright, maybe I lied again and put one more movie in front of yours.

just my luck. another liar!

well, i think i'll live.... barely, but i will survive.

so, what else should we watch?

Believe it or not, this is not considered a bad movie by most film critics:

Elvis and JFK did not die, and today they're roommates in an East Texas nursing home whose residents are being killed by an ancient Egyptian Soul Sucker named Bubba Ho-Tep. I want to get that on the table right at the get-go, so I can deal with the delightful wackiness of this movie, which is endearing and vulgar in about the right proportion. The movie doesn't exactly work, but sometimes when a car won't start, it's still fun to look at the little honey gleaming in the driveway.

Tonight, we watched another gem: Kandukondain Kandukondain (2000)- or "I Found It" -- which is a Bollywood adaptaion of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility
Pretty funny at times, but...looooooong.

( dancing and clapping)

I looooooooove Bruce!!

Shewolf - Yeah! You know, there aren't many people who even know about him and his silly movies.

I missed the last chunk of the Bollywood movie. I had to go to sleep at around 2:30 am. Oof.
