Evil Dead (2013)

He was doing the same things he did in the previous ones.

Well, Indiana Jones (moreso than Evil Dead) is largely successful because it's about the male-fantasy escapism of being young, good looking, adventurous and getting the beautiful woman. Indiana Jones 4 was doomed to fail from the start because he was no longer young, good looking and there was no beautiful woman (not to mention the endless list of other stupid shit in it, but that's a whole other topic, heh).

I think you just had a crush on him.

Yuck yuck. Good one. Yet another potentially interesting discussion crushed by someone trying to be witty.

I wasn't trying to be witty, and the discussion had already ran it's course. With me being right and you being wrong.

Also, I think you mean hyuck.

I believe starting fresh is the smart thing to do.

Focus on the Deadites. Ash ain't coming back. Blow our minds with the extreme hate and viscous violence the badguys can supply.

If he returns in the 2nd film we have someone to root for. In the meantime having an old Bruce Campbell is a bad decision. And trying to recast him is an even worst one.

Exploitation cinema in Horror is something Hollywood has lost for sooooo many years. Let them step lightly yet boldly.

Bruce Campbell is a bad choice. And that's coming from an extreme fan of nostalgic Horror. He won't work and I'm sure he will agree.

Since you're right I'm sure some movie studio executive with see this and start a big "geriatric action hero" trend. Sure to be a hit.

More serious than campy.

Which the first movie was.

Not really.

It was definitely the most serious, but it was no Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

The movies got progressively more comedic, but I wouldn't say the first wasn't campy.

Yea, you mean like the last Die Hard, the next DH, the latest Rambo, the new action movie Schwarzenegger is coming out with, the last couple Lethal Weapons, and Expendables 1/2?

Yea...so like I said.

Bruce Willis has aged very well, Rambo wasn't quite the same as the previous three, and Expendables sucked. Besides, they were born more out of desperation to rehash old money-makers than some intentional plan to put older people in action-hero roles.

Replace old Harrison Ford in any of the other movies and it would have still been successful.

I think you just had a crush on him.

Harrison Ford only played Indiana Jones due to Tom selleck turning the role down as he had commitments with filming Magnum PI...

So has Bruce Campbell.

Are you blind..? He's fat and grey. Bruce Willis is still trim and had the foresight long ago to keep his head shaved.

You are wrong.

Just let it go.

Oh, good one. You'd make a good propagandist.

It is a continuity of the horror series. This is the great examples of the horror movie.
