'My Name is Bruce' Trailer Refers to Campbell, Not Vilanch
After rising to popularity among the unpopular with his lead role in the Evil Dead series, episodes of Xena, and some of the more enjoyable parts of Spider-man, Bruce Campbell has earned himself somewhat of a cult following among the sad and convention-going. So, obviously, why not exploit that?
And thus they have, creating a pandering horror-comedy that relies entirely on the premise that it would be pretty cool if Bruce Campbell actually fought evil like in his movies, and if he were sort of a racist buffoon.
I'm all for a Galaxy Quest-style take on the life of Bruce Campbell, but does it have to be so stupid? Seeing that he washed his hair with drain cleaner after mistaking it for a bottle of Evil Dead-themed shampoo does not make me laugh; it makes me question why Bruce Campbell is illiterate and has an invisible scalp. Is that the point?
