Should be an interesting read. If Chins Could Kill was a fun book to read but it only covered up to the end of his time on Hercules and Xena.

Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way is alright too, it has some funny bits but it suffers from being fiction partly because his real life in If Chins Could Kill is way more entertaining and partly because halfway through he abandons any pretense at believability and veers into wacky cartoon land so you have him doing green-screen kung fu with Richard Gere and having car chases with eco terrorists and getting shot during a duel after impersonating a southern gentleman.

The audiobook is great because he reads and acts it out himself as a sort of pseudo radio play, even if a lot of the celebrity guest appearances in it are just the same guy who does all the other stock character voices doing really bad impressions.

Sounds like it was purely Starz decision to try and get it in a "cleaner" slot. Filming wrapped up in June.

Bruce has been saying it might be due to Lionsgate buying Starz. Also rumblings that they didn't want to compete with Stranger Things and Walking Dead premiers.

Thanks for the info, that makes sense. Just glad they got the show filmed.

And here's an article about the season 3 announcement

Synopsis from the article: "Ash’s status in Elk Grove, MI, has changed from murderous urban legend to humanity-saving hometown hero. When Kelly witnesses a televised massacre with Ruby’s fingerprints all over it, she returns with a new friend to warn Ash and Pablo that evil isn’t done with them yet."

The last episode got butchered. Everything was fine until that.

Whatever you think of the planned Kelly twist I am really unhappy that Tapert kicked out the show runner and have my doubts the show will have the same edge now. I feel like Raimi or somebody should have stepped in and arbitrated to right the ship.

That said this isn't really a "gently caress YOU!" kind of firing, like the poo poo AMC pulls. This was very much a disagreement out of love for the franchise, in the end, so even if it was the wrong decision it's one I can't get too mad about. Tapert IS doing what he thinks is best for Evil Dead and it's not like he doesn't have some reason to be protective of it.

Bruteman posted:

There was so much wrong with last season's ending that I absolutely can buy it was an illusion or some poo poo like we've seen before.

I mean freaking force ghosts. Everything wrapped up with a bow on it. He changed time, yet everyone in time is throwing him a party..... the fact Ash is getting a party at all..

The whole thing is very plausible as Ash wish fulfillment mind fuckery.

Marijuana, I think it was, not pills.

There still appears to be some threat to a fourth season, I think. The Kelly actor was pushing some campaign on Facebook about something happening to Starz - presumably if something happens to Starz, a new season isn't so likely.

Also, the guy who left/got kicked was against the "Not the butt!" scene, I think, so he deserved to go. :colbert:

Exactly. Tapert is the anti-fun guy. He thinks the show should be like the first movie.

I know Starz just suddenly disappeared from my cable in 2018. I'd be real, real mad about that and it keeping me from Ash but I've been conditioned over the years to assume this will resolve with an increase in my cable bill in a matter of weeks.

I don't know, it's funnier if Ash is such a lightweight that a toke on a joint is enough to get him to read from the book

Nah. If that's all it took Ash would've read from it decades before. Unless it just took him that long to get a woman to come back to his trailer who he wasn't paying.

Ash gets hosed up on the reg. He just had a particularly harsh combination that night.

Yeah, I think we established last season that Ash has a pretty high tolerance for substance abuse. He's not a lightweight, he's just a horny fool.
