Zombie's Halloween Takes Number 1


Rob Zombie's remake of 'Halloween' takes the number 1 spot this week with a take of 26.5 million, beating out 'Superbad' and 'Balls of Fury'. But the clear bomb of the week is Stardust, which cost 70 million to make and has brought in only 31 million after 4 weeks. Paramount has already started to pull it from theaters and canceling 573 prints over the weekend.

BRUCE CAMPBELL ROCKS!!!!!!



Basically, I am posting this because if you are in your late 30's early 40's or an avid connoisseur of the horror/comedy genre movies like Evil Dead, Evil Dead II, or Army of Darkness (The 3rd in the series) you know who Bruce Campbell is. He is the reluctant hero. If you haven't seen these movies, I suggest (ironically) that you watch Army of Darkness or Evil Dead II first rather than the first.

Anyhow, back to my point; Bruce Campbell, who is pretty much very beloved in the Comic/Sci-fi/Horror Community, has a couple of new commercials out for Old Spice. My favorite being where he portrays himself like men used to back in the 50's and 60's if they wanted to come off, rich, experienced; kinda a Robert Wagner role playing his piano before lovely women, who are mesmerized and quite taken with him, except in stead of playing and singing Sinatra, he plays what was popular in his younger man days... And his younger days were the same as folks in their upper 30's and 40's... Go on Bruce, Make the ladies SWOON!!!!

And I love his opinions on "The industry" nowendays...
