Movie Tab II

I'm seriously bummed you feel that way about Bubba Ho-Tep. I consider it to be one of the most inspiring films I've ever seen - and I say that in complete earnest. I have a staunch fear of growing old, being forgotten and just wasting away and Bubba Ho-Tep is all about that not having to be the case. That even when you're at the absolute end of your rope, you're falling apart emotionally and cellularly, you can still have one more party. It's all about truly living again and I freaking love it for that. I have nothing at all but respect for Don Coscarelli and co. for that wonderful, smile enducing picture.

Not to mention Bruce gives his career high performance in it.

As for the two old guys not being entertaining, I couldn't disagree more. The way Bruce and Ossie bounce off each other is a riot and a real, real treasure to see. Those two characters are perfectly written, perfectly cast and perfectly delivered.

The flick's got flaws, but none of the ones you've mentioned. :-\

Watched Man Thing last night. Eh, so so. Not great. More of a made for t.v. film.

It was a made for TV film.

I watched The Island last night.I recommend it.

We can settle this one of two ways. A cage match with venomous snakes strewn about that have an appetite for legs and arms or we settle this like gentlemen and head-butt until one of us falls over. The balls in your court now ins't it nancy-boy?

Besides, I think Bruce's performance just goes to show that good acting can't save a bad film. And, if you go back and look at what I said you'll see that I said the underlying text of growing old was scary but the basics were sucked big-time.

Cage match. Deadly snakes. Head-butting. There's no turning back.

I got what you were saying, I just think (and wrote) the exact opposite. I think what gives the movie its extreme charm is the fact that is about two olddd, seemingly senile men who are fighting a redneck mummy in the halls of a retirement home in the middle-o-nowhere, Texas. That is a gem of a story, right there.

I think it is an entertaining as hell flick, you don't. Then again, you're about to be on the recieving end of not only an unstoppable tsunami of headbutts, but having your unconcious corpse laid upon a pit of snakes.

The dialogue on the English version is really bad, I don't care for the music either.
