The King of Rock vs. The King of the Dead
Last night I grabbed Bubba HoTep (I’ve heard way to many good things about this movie from Alan) and watched a few minutes of it this morning. So far so good, I only got 15 mins into it but the idea of Elivis being in a convolesient home is pretty funny. Here’s a plot summary for ya: (IMDB)
Based on the Bram Stoker Award nominee short story by cult author Joe R. Lansdale, Bubba Ho-tep tells the “true” story of what really did become of Elvis Presley. We find Elvis (Bruce Campbell) as an elderly resident in an East Texas rest home, who switched identities with an Elvis impersonator years before his “death”, then missed his chance to switch back. Elvis teams up with Jack (Ossie Davis), a fellow nursing home resident who thinks that he is actually President John F. Kennedy, and the two valiant old codgers sally forth to battle an evil Egyptian entity who has chosen their long-term care facility as his happy hunting grounds.
