You met Bruce Campbell! I'm green with envy.
Details. He was super kool to you, right? Did he tell any interesting stories? How sexy did he look? How much sexier did he look with every drink? Did he sign anything; take pix with you? You didn't act like a creepy uber fan hopefully.
Fuck you, Conchaga!

I think Bruce Campbell is one of a very select number of people in the public eye whom I would geek out over meeting.
I first watched The Evil Dead on a bootleg VHS in 1984 at the age of 7. This wasn't by design - my sisters used to 'entertain' me by showing me video nasties, delighting in the scares it gave me. After watching The Evil Dead, I thought I was going to get stabbed in the ankle with a pencil by a crazy lady for days.

This hangover is totally worth it.
Went to the after party last night and Bruce showed up. We didn't think he was going to.
Anyway, I'll go into more detail later, but his brother is in the service. He LOVES guys who are Vets. So, he bought drinks for me and two of my co-workers last night out of gratitude. The first one he bought I didn't know what to say. I mean, it's Bruce fucking The Chin Campbell buying ME a drink!? After an hour of chatting with him, he's the coolest guy on the fucking planet. Period. End of story. The guy is awesome.

I have to say, I don't think I would bring up his work. I've read his autobiography, and am fully aware that he has enough chuckleheads to deal with on the convention circuit without having to put up with any more.
He was on Simon Mayo & Mark Kermode's Radio show around the time My Name is Bruce was released. They introduced him to a listener's game whereby you stand up at the end of a movie and say loudly "That brings back a lot of memories". He laughed himself silly when they read out an e-mail from a listener who had done this at the end of Valkyrie.

He did that same Spider-Man schpeil in his Q&A yesterday. Except, when asked about Spider-Man 4 someone phrased it "Spider-Man reboot". His comment was, "isn't it depressing that we have terms like "reboot" for a franchise?" Anyway, when he was asked if he'd appear in it. His response was, "is Sam Raimi going to be involved?" When the crowd responded no, he said, "Then I don't think I'll be available."

I'm going to stick a pan under this thread, to catch all the awesome drippings and make awesome gravy.

Greg: I'll explain the origin of 'Woodshed' to you - I actually misquoted it, I'll quote straight from Campbell's Autobigraphy (which is a great read BTW) - "If Chins Could Kill"
Bit of background - Campbell is on the set of Escape from LA with Kurt Russell:
Kurt: Hey Bruce, say "workshed."
Bruce: (incredulous) What?
Kurt: From Evil Dead II
Bruce: Yeah, I know that, but how do you know about that obscure line?
Kurt: My son is a big fan of that film. For some reason, he wanted me to have you say it.
"Kurt was too polite to mention that "workshed" was an obvious overdub to help audiences know where my character Ash was going next. If you watch the film, my mouth doesn't move at all during that line, and it's a point of great ridicule on college campuses across the country."
So there you have it. It probably pisses him off every time somebody says it thinking they're being smart.
