bubba ho-tep

before the weekend's drama began, we finally got around to watching bubba ho-tep. what a great movie. what a fantastic screenplay...

here's the gist of the story, elvis isn't dead. he's living in a crappy ass rest home in east texas. he switched places with the greatest elvis impersonator... sebastian haff. sebastian dies and everyone thinks elvis died.

a mummy from an egyptian museum tour gets stolen. the mummy's been living off of old people's souls for who knows how long. easy pickin's.

elvis and his friend jack (a black man who believes he's john f. kennedy) work together to fight off the mummy. mummy bites the dust. thanks, elvis!

i thought bruce campbell did a great job as the king.

sounds crazy, but it was seriously laugh out loud funny... not in a slapstick comedy way... but, yeah, never mind. watch it, if you haven't watched it.
