Well Father Geek received a couple (make that 3) of bits on fan fave Bruce Campbell today that I thought You might be interested in, nothing earth-shattering, but cool none the less...
Just wanted to toss out a few tidbits about the Bruce. He appeared in Philadelphia today for a book signing (still shilling "If Chins Could Kill") and some other things. The following were mentioned on Philly's Y100 Morning Show with Preston and Steve this morning:
-- The Chin says that he makes a quick appearance in the new Coen Brothers George Clooney/Catherine Zeta-Jones movie at the end, playing a scene with another MAJOR character, which he says "is THE key moment in the film where it all comes together."
(Father Geek note: This is INTOLERABLE CRUELTY, also starring Billy Bob Thornton and Geoffrey Rush. Its being shot in Las Vegas and LA and is set for a September 4, 2003 release in the Netherlands.)
-- The Chin also DAMNS his new movie, SERVING SARA, saying that "even though you have big stars and a big budget, it doesn't mean it's going to be good. That one is, at best, a matinee."
-- And I have got to throw in, he really hyped up BUBBA HOTEP saying it was premeiring at the Toronto Film Festival, and he really wanted a distributor to pick up the film since it was "the wackiest script I have ever read... Ever." He really wants someone to pick this one up and market it right since he feels it was so well done, and deserves to be seen.
Hope it's newsworthy.

And here's a third bit on THE BRUCE just in to Father Geek...
Here's a scoop from the middle of Central Illinois---
It's recently been announced that the guest of honor for Springfield, Illinois' 1st annual Route 66 Film Festival will be none other than BRUCE CAMPBELL himself! He has been kind enough to schedule a date on his book tour for Sunday, September 22nd, 2002 to meet and greet the fans at Barnes and Noble Book Store (3111 S. Veteran's Parkway/ 2-5pm), and (best of all) make a special appearance at the Route 66 Drive-In! In honor of his appearance, there will be a Bruce Campbell double feature---the first flick will be RUNNING TIME (1997) followed by ESCAPE FROM L.A. (1996). The gates will open at 6:30, and the show starts at 8. There is absolutely no excuse for anyone in the area to miss this once-in-a-lifetime event. Admission will be 6 bucks. Check out further details at www.route66filmfestival.com
Also, while I'm at it, I should mention that Robert Forster will be in
Springfield on Friday, September 27th to host a screening of the eternal
JACKIE BROWN at the Esquire Theater at 10pm. He'll take questions and
comments from the audience immediately preceding the film.
Hope this is of some interest to your readers.
