"Name's Ash... Housewares."
Say hello to the best movie character ever invented. Ashley J. Williams (a.k.a. Ash) from "The Evil Dead" Trilogy. He's the brain-child of Sam (don't call me Spider-Man) Raimi. When Sam Raimi began his career as a director... He made a film that made mothers shriek at the thought of their kids seeing it... "The Evil Dead." He also made two sequels: "Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn," and "Army of Darkness." He'll hopefully be kicking out another "Evil Dead" movie after he's done with his precious "Spider-Man" movies.
Most people have heard of the movie "Army of Darkness" and have seen it numerous times. However, it seems that they have never heard of "The Evil Dead" movies or have just never seen them. "Army of Darkness" is actually the third movie in "The Evil Dead" franchise. "The Evil Dead" franchise are my favorite movies... I think I'm the only person on the planet to like "Army of Darkness" the least, although it does kick ass! But when Sam Raimi made it, he made it half-assed... Not that I blame him because he was pissed off at the studio that endorsed it (Universal Studios)... They wouldn't let him use the ending he originally shot... They wouldn't let him put in all the gore cause they wanted a more comedic, all-audience friendly movie... So, in a way, it was like a big FUCK YOU to the studio... He has said that if he makes a part four... It will be back to the roots with all the merry gore and it will be done his way or the highway...
And thank God for that!
Anyway, Ash is played by the best independant actor in the business: Bruce Campbell. Ash is also the coolest character to EVER be invented for a film. He should be the symbol of what every man should be... A BAD MOTHERFUCKER! I particularly like him in "Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn." Why? He's no longer the wuss he was in the first movie, and he's not the cheeseball he is in "Army of Darkness." But in "Dead By Dawn..." He's the ultimate symbol of masculinity.
"The Ultimate Symbol of Masculinity!"
For example: In a scene from "Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn," the evil gets into his hand... His own hand tries to kill him several times... So, what does he do? He stabs his own fuckin' hand and being the bad ass he is... He mutters.. "Uh huh! That's right! Who's laughing now?!" He then grabs his chainsaw and saws his own fucking hand off! Now if that isn't balls of steel... What the fuck is?! I have taken the liberty of making a movie clip for you to check out this particular scene. Click the fuckin' picture...
*Notice: Video will not work if this page gets too much traffic. Geocities is GAY!
Now that you've met the ultimate symbol of masculinity and the baddest motherfucker in all of cinema.... Go rent "The Evil Dead," "Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn," and "Army of Darkness." Hell... If you can read, pick up a nice little book called "The Evil Dead Companion." - Best book ever! Would I ever lie to you?!?! *cough*
