I don't mind stupid movies. I do mind stupid movies that are poorly made.
I like Bruce Campbells independent films.
The technical artistry of film making is always expertly handled. The guy knows his shit. Anything
else that would keep them out of the "poorly made" category, however, is essentially absent.
He takes his B movie image
very seriously. Every tiny detail is carefully orchestrated to produce the expected result. If he wanted to do something impressively mainstream, he could do it while stuffed in a potato sack with his eyelids glued to that magnificent chin.
That doesn't even make sense, but... That's just the way it is. He's
so good, he's turned bad into an art-form.
He's easier to appreciate if you spend time around people in the industry. It doesn't matter what manner of films they've worked on. When exposed to his antics, they giggle like schoolgirls at the tricks, and you've got to endure half an hour of someone explaining why certain bits were great in terms you don't understand.
I've listened to several people (who for some unfathomable reason weren't familiar with him) suggest that they'll "be keeping their eye on him". :rofl:
Dudes, he's where he's going to be for the rest of his life, and he loves it. If you offered that bugger a million dollars to do no more than walk across the set of a film tailored for a pile of Oscars, he'd tell you to go pound sand.
The world of B movies is pretty fun to explore, once you get used to it.
Cheers,
