Wake me when June 30th rolls around

Thanks to Ghost of a Flea, I was turned on to a very nice interview of Bruce Campbell, Ash of Army of Darkness and creator of Bubba Ho-Tep, which additionally disclosed that he had his very own website. Bein' my usual brain dead self to certain details, I was unaware that there was the very special kinship between Bruce and Sam Raimi, but it appears that they go way way back.* Anyway, Bruce was absolutely ravin' 'bout the trailer for Spider-Man 2:

[T]he trailer was still the coolest thing to happen to the world since penicillin. So, if you're one of the seven people who haven't seen it, watch it now . . . .
I was really waitin' to see it in all its glory on the big screen, but, what the hey, Ash speaks, ya gotta obey. Otherwise he might mistake you for bein' a member of the Evil Dead or sumthin', right?

Well, let me be the first to inform ya that the trailer sent chills down my spine. Now I ain't gonna be happy waitin' 'til the openin' on June 30.

They do go * way * back. You probably spotted it at Bruce Campbell's website but in case not... check out "Confessions of a B-Movie Actor", his autobiography. It has the whole story. Cheers! N
