Ash vs Evil Dead (new tv series)

[JanewayRulz!]

AvED Red Carpet arrivals this past week.

I'm really liking Lucy's new do... but was Ted Raimi sporting a black eye?

[yt]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtzaPJrJ9PA[/yt]

Really liked the series so far.

The cop and the "loser buddies" as Lucy calls them, are really good.

Speaking of Lucy... that "cameo" in the premiere definitely whetted the appetite for seeing more Lawless.

Alas I think I have to wait 2 more weeks before that happens.

The premiere was slated for "45" minutes and they packed quite a lot into that time slot. It will be interesting to see how they trim things for the "30" minute shows that are in our future.

For those of us who couldn't make it to Tulsa this month...

Bruce was in his glory.

[Mr. Adventure]

I was trying to see if there were any jokes in the magic words. I caught tranya which may or may not be a reference to the old Star Trek episode. I think "Meestrobeen" is pretty obvious to anyone familiar with Mr. Bean.

I just posted the video version of Bruce and Lucy playing NPR's "Ask me Another" in the Xena thread but I have to do it here too since the audio version is so highly edited that they dropped several question & answers in the zombie game and multiple stories germane to the show.

For instance, I thought Lucy was just teasing in interviews re: the cop being Ruby's "gal pal", but according to Ms Lawless, Ruby has a definite crush on Amanda Fisher.

No rights to "Army of Darkness".

The 1st three movies were made by 3 different companies.

[Sparkle Fabulosa]

It was great! Lots of laugh-out-loud moments, and a few subtle ones that made it even better!

 

[kitik]

Genius level.

That was fastastic. All I could have asked for. Perfection.

 

[Sparkle Fabulosa]

^ I could have asked for more Lucy!

 

[JanewayRulz!]

^ More Lucy?

How about her and Bruce eating gross Halloween candy?

This reviewer is willing to give AvED a chance... or maybe he's just waiting for Lucy too.

https://www.yahoo.com/tv/ash-vs-walking-dead-review-bruce-campbell-160808213.html

The way things are going in her career, Lucy should worry about her NEXT project, according to this next link.

"It's becoming a thing now," she tells us. "Let's put Lucy in a bath. Make her naked, cover her in blood. I thought, now it's all over, and then I just got this call where they're like, you know that scene that didn't quite work? We think it's going to work better if you're naked. People always want me to kick ass, or be a dominatrix. This is how I'm perceived."

This reviewer loved the AvED premiere.

The video clip at the bottom of this last link ^ with Bruce and Lucy talking "uncomfortable encounters" is pretty good too.

ETA: Who's on Bruce's wish list for season 2.

[Sparkle Fabulosa]

Ha! "Deadites are people too!"

The only candy they ate that I have heard of is Peeps, except it's in the shape of a baby chick.

 

[Kemaiku]

That was as awesome as I hoped it would be.

I was expecting Lucy to have more screentime too, but her appearances are appropriately creepy and ominus.

Is she some kind of Seer? we know the Kandarians have been around since the time of the Sumerians, the entire cast may be playing descendents of groups around since the Old Ones.

This is something I wished the reboot movie covered more of like the games, the legacy of the Book through the ages.

Oh boy, I know they probably won't reuse plots from it, but having the Abomination be the big bad, done properly this time, could be interesting.

The cast is great and they certainly went all out on the blood splatter. Just wish we get to see what The Force looks like as it approaches, as all it's victims seems to see something.

Loved the whole sequence with the doll.

 

[Mr. Adventure]

Loved the whole sequence with the doll.

Did anyone not suspect was going to happen when Ash leaned in for a closer look?

 

[Sparkle Fabulosa]

I didn't. I thought a Deadite was going to jump on Ash from the other side of the aisle but the doll attack was a lot more fun!

I'm not feeling the supporting cast but it is only the first episode. Maybe they will grow on me.

 

[lurok]

Genius.

So happy.

No boring wasting time setting up characters, scenario or backstory; the deadhand of so many series.

 

[Kemaiku]

Loved the whole sequence with the doll.

Did anyone not suspect was going to happen when Ash leaned in for a closer look?

It felt like there were going for a similar sequence to him and his hand in the second movie with the humour and choreography.

And the fact that the Kandarian was still using the dolls voice chip name, they really do assimilate the qualities of whatever they inhabit.

Him smashing the doll with the shovel and just "Hi", the whole sequence was brilliant.

I was thinking to Army of Darkness and his fight with his little clones. Just knowing how they like to torment Ash I figured he was going to get poked.

I was kind of hoping when they squashed the first one that the others would start coming to life and chase them out of the place.

 

[davejames]

Absolutely awesome first episode. Bruce was as great as ever (the expression on his face toward the end of the, ahem, restroom scene had me cracking up harder than anything in a while), the action was really fun, and the two sidekicks seem like they have a lot of potential as well.

My only real concern is that Raimi did such a brilliant and inspired job with the directing that I'm not sure the other directors will be able to live up to it.

 

[Tosk]

Loved it. Especially the reason why Idiot Ash was the one to start it all up again.

"Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!"

 

[JanewayRulz!]

"Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!"

"This is your brain. This is your brain on drugs. Any questions?"

I think Ash missed that entire ad campaign in the 90's.



Words of wisdom from Sam Raimi et al.

It has much better audio than what I posted 3 weeks ago.

[Mr. Adventure]

I love Bruce's gaudy jackets in a lot of those interview clips, it's like he and Ash have merged over the years into one.
