Bruce Campbell Rips Hollywood

July 14, 2005 - Complaining that Hollywood is "creatively bankrupt," fan favorite Bruce Campbell ripped into the studio system and the recent spate of summer blockbusters at today's Comic-Con Q&A session. The cult actor cycled through the films that came out this summer and deconstructed each one.


"First of all, every A-movie is a now a B-movie," he said. Any movie that relies on costumes and aliens falls into the latter category, according to Campbell. Speaking about War of the Worlds, he complained that the idea was tired, stating that "every 50 years they do something with that idea."

On Batman Begins, he said "Well, this was a good one. It took 'em five tries." On Bewitched he simply said, "Hollywood has a file drawer 30 years deep." Later in the presentation, he added "I urge you not to support the same horsesh*t you're getting out of Hollywood." Then, tongue firmly in cheek, he added, "Except Sky High," which he appears in.

He didn't hold back comments about other member of the acting fraternity. When asked about Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, he said "Well, I can guarantee that I don't give a rat's ass about them." He repeatedly jabbed at Ashton Kutcher, joking that the actor would reprise his role in the Evil Dead remake. He even called out Ben Affleck more than once, stating "…William Holden can kick Ben Affleck's ass any day of the week."

But his special affection was reserved for the MPAA, which he referred to as "stupid" and "embarrassing." "The MPAA can kiss my ass so hard it can come out the other side." He has no love for network censors, either. He stated that it was wrong that violence is much more acceptable than nudity on television. "You can shoot a boobie, but you can't kiss it."

Bruce Campbell has been on of my favorite actors for some time now, ever since I saw the Army of Darkness...and this makes me respect him politically as well, in stark contrast to my current thoughts on Morgan Freeman.

Pretty much says it all, doesn't he? Takes no prisoners, makes no apologies, and goes for the jugular. If I hadn't seen too many celebrities with feet of clay, I'd say he belongs in Boycott-MPAA's hall of fame, Code.

If you haven't seen Evil Dead - or basically the same movie with a much bigger budget Evil Dead II - run to your local library and check out a copy or request one from interlibrary loan. Please note: I did not say rent, download or buy.

And while you are there check out the CD selection, you may be very impressed.

Support you local library as if your intellectual life depended upon it.

Bruce, a true hero for the fans. Re-makes mean hollywood has nothing to offer the people. So they rely on poor acting and tons of computerized special effects with lots of explosions, shooting, etc. to attract the crowds to drain their pockets. Junks like these deserves to be downloaded and pirated!!!
