I meant to reply to this last week, but its been a busy week. (don't need to elaborate here, it would turn into a rant ;)
I adore Bruce Campbell. Evil Dead, Xena, loved those roles. Bought his book a few years ago (whenever it came out) and it was a great read. (sidenote- I read it about the same time I read Mick Foley's book...both biographies, and both enjoyable reading.)
I didn't see Bubbahotep when it was briefly out in theaters. My mom was in Romania and my dad was bored and lonely, so I stopped by bestbuy, bought a couple movies, Bubbahotep being one of them.
Then proceeeded to watch this movie with my dad. Wow. It was awful! I could deal with the aging Elvis/nursing home/delusional friend who thinks he s FDR, and the mummy. But not the mummy moonlighting as a cowboy, and the slow pace of the flick... meandering to the climax, and the penis cancer.
Only watch it if you're a hardcore Bruce fan. *g*
.....I think having unsanctioned websites devoted to them, and reading a few fan posts, its gratifying on both sides. You get some feedback outside of industry and friends...as long as it doesn't reach obsessive proportions. But you lose your privacy, and at a less mainstream level of popularity, you can still maintain some control, and/or artistic license.
Shawn was moderately amused by reports and messages, until I told him one of his fans swiped the filthy cup he was using to butt his cigarettes in! Strange choice for a souvenier--but I can understand that phase. *l*
In Southeast Asia we'd call this kind of thing bad Karma.
