He's kinda looking like Mitt Romney. Maybe it's me.

Maybe Mitt Romney should star in a zombie movie.

Robots vs. Zombies is probably a crappy Steam/Android game.

I wish I lived in a world where Drag Me to Hell made tons of money and Sam Raimi didn't go back to blockbuster movies.

This does look pretty dang solid so far though, and yes, Bruce Campbell looks like Mitt Romney now. I'm also looking forward to his soon to be coming portrayal of Ronald Reagan in season two of Fargo.

Technically, all tree sex is tree rape because trees can't consent.

But if the tree already had wood at the time of the deed doesn't that mean it's already consented?

BTW that trailer looks frickin fantastic. Definitely feels like it has the soul of the films.

Quote

• Sam Raimi on how working with Bruce has changed since they made the first Evil Dead: “It was really cool to see him play this old character, but now with some skill as an actor… Ash is a heel and a coward and a blowhard, and Bruce was somehow able to tap into those things about himself.”

• As far as Easter eggs and series staples go, what can we expect from the show? “You’ve got to have the boom stick,” says Campbell. “It’s mandatory. He’s got to have a chainsaw on the end of his hand. It’s mandatory. What do you do with that? You cut the shit out of any deadite that gets near you.” And when asked if Ash’s mechanical arm will make an appearance, Raimi cryptically responded, “You won’t see that specific hand…”

• We can also expect lots of trash talk before, after and during the slaying of deadites; enough blood to almost choke Campbell to death (“I choked on blood. For you!”); lots of pus (Lawless’ favorite practical effect from shooting); the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis; and the supervillains Freddy and Jason, but on the strict condition that Ash gets to “kill both of those losers.” Okay, we can’t expect that last part at all, but a fan asked if they’d show up and that was the answer Bruce gave.

• Is Ted Raimi in the show? Unfortunately not, but Raimi hopes to bring him on in the second season if they get one, and Campbell says “We need him to play seven characters every episode.”

• And when asked what another movie would be like, Raimi gave perhaps the most satisfying answer possible, saying that he and Campbell loved the 2013 Evil Dead remake from Fede Alvarez so much they really want to do a shared universe movie with Ash and Mia, the reboot’s blood-bathed heroine.

• Did anything else happen? Yeah. Campbell invited a handful of Ash cosplayers onto the stage and had the audience vote of which one did the best job recreating his costume. In a decision fueled by personal bias, Campbell selected the young woman who took a pinup approach to his character in a spectacle that Lawless accurately characterized as “straight out of the 1950s.” A lovable scamp ’til the end!

No old folk

Bad:

Before you get too excited, If starz greenlights your show to begin with you're pretty much guaranteed a second season. Being a premi cable channel they tend to pick up shows in 2 season blocks. This supposedly saves them money in the long run set/production wise. They did/do this with Spartacus, Black Sails etc.

Basically, while hype is definitely high, it's still like 70% marketing fluff.

Ash was great, Bruce Campbell still has it. But that supporting cast hasn't really done much for me. Xena will probably be cool, though. It's still a pilot and I'm watching the full season anyway, hopefully it picks up.

Wasn't perfect but it was pretty entertaining. Definitely a good start. I never expected it to be amazing from the jump, it'll find it's footing as long as it doesn't completely bomb.

I'm not really a fan of the first one. I think the remake was actually a better movie. I'd go ED2 > AoD > ED Remake > ED1.

Hopefully the TV show ends up at least being better than ED1.

Yeah, was fine. It's no Drag Me To Hell (which is secretly Evil Dead 4) so far but it's a good start. Wasn't really a fan of how sleezeball they made Ash at the start though. I don't remember him being skeevy to the point of basically raping women in the old movies.

It's less telling a bs story to get laid (that's fine and in character for Ash) and more finding a drunk person and getting them blackout drunk before having sex with them. That was just kind of...disturbing and not really with the goofy slapstick nature of the series post ED2. That's actually more in line with ED1's tree rape stuff, which is one of the reasons why ED1 is not particularly great.

This is a pet peeve of mine but when two people have sex and they drink its not automatically rape. Skeevy people sometimes get drunk and have sex. It's not always rape. And somebody hanging out at bar and drinking having sex and especially in this context was consensual. They are both losers. The women is not automatically a victim in this situation. Although the situation of having sex in the bar is improbable and a dumb male fantasy. So sexist? Maybe. Rape? No.

Yeah, that line and the delivery was great. Reminded me of the lessons guy from Arrested Development. Ep2's scene where they break into the front door chainsaws flying was hilarious as well. If I break out laughing at least once an ep I'm pretty satisfied.
