Met The Man

September 9, 2006 by Nitin Dahyabhai.

Nalin managed to get us tickets to see Bruce Campbell speak at a local theatre as well as see Bubba Hotep afterward. It was nice to hear Bruce talk about the importance of local theatres, supporting the performance arts, and how independent films and “B-movies” are increasingly the best place for fresh ideas. He then did some Q&A and signed copies of his new book. Hot news: his role in Spider-Man 3 is “pivotal“. And while I’ve seen Bubba Hotep many times, I never had a chance to see it on the big screen. It’s admittedly not for everyone (a large portion of the movie is very much reflection upon the main character’s life, and there’s a particularly uncomfortable monologue when the movie opens), but it’s a film that moved me in a way that most don’t, while still offering a good dose of humor and even some low-budget action. Even if he’s not a superstar, you can’t deny that he’s a actor who earns his pay.
