Brain

Am I gonna have to take Bruce Campbell off the Perpetual Boyfriend list? It would be a very sad day indeed on which I was forced to take such desperate measures, but my patience does have limits, even with the man who gave us Ash and Brisco County Jr. and Roland the Intrepid Explorer and Smitty the ‘Argus’ reporter and Autolycus the king of thieves and...

*sigh* Okay, I spotted Bruce ‘Alien Apocalypse,’ cuz everyone's allowed an off day, even a god, so we won't talk about that one. But ‘The Man with the Screaming Brain’ is just a horribly cruel geeky tease. Campbell simply cannot toy with our affections this way, seducing us like he did for the last few weeks with those hilarious ads on the SciFi Channel, the ones that knew exactly what we wanted to hear: ‘Oh yeah, baby, I know how you like it, all snarky and pulpy and B-movie and self-referential and deliberately trashy...’

From my review, over at FlickFilosopher.com, of The Man with the Screaming Brain, Bruce Campbell’s new less-than magnum opus.
