Hey kids-
The "Summer of Love" tour has begun. And is probably coming to a town near you at some point.
Anyway, I got an e-mail from Sam tonight. Said he remembered a talk we had about, in his words, "getting hurt for fun." And I don't mean making movies. He said he was going to send me some books on the subject and then went on to include some links he thought I'd like.
After making sure I could clear the history on the ol' laptop, I went ahead and checked them out.
Wow.
Just... wow.
One of the links was for a message board where people can advertise for partners or whatever. I might have to investigate that one further.
More later,
Bruce

Hey kids,
I've barely had a chance to breathe since I turned in the new book. Days and days of planning and coordinating to make sure I'm where I need to be in the coming months.
One of those places will be on the set of Spider-Man 3. I've seen fanboys complain about Sam being a tease. Let me tell you something, you think his dropping a hint now and again is bad? You haven't begun to suffer unless you have Sam as a "close, personal friend." Drop the "R" and you're a lot closer to the truth.
Some day, I'll write a tell-all about the Raimis. And then the Evil Dead royalties will be a nice cushion.
More later after I finish figuring my itinerary.

Hey kids,
Daddy's back. Ida and the my editors conspired to keep me from getting any place that allowed people to connect to the internet. All so I would get that new book done.
You would not believe how many voice mails I've already had to endure from the Raimi brothers and Rob. Legends of comedy, those guys. In their own minds at least.
Ida made sure to reward me once I was done, which was nice. But... it wasn't entirely what I was looking for.
More later if I remember how this thing still works.

I had to do some re-shoots for that movie I'm directing. Scenes that involved putting the actors through their paces. Paces in this case being scenes where they got the ever-lovin' crap kicked out of them.
I think I finally get why Sam would occaisionally disappear to his trailer (Or the closest bathroom) after shooting stuff where I was in pain.
Damn, it's a rush being a director. Almost as much of a rush as those times when Sam was the one calling the shots that involved me getting hurt.

Hey kids, it's Bruce.
God, it's good to be back in civilization. Sure, being in a foreign country to film a movie (or two, I might have lost count somewhere) is fun and all, but nothing compares to being home.
Came home to a lovely welcome from Ida and the kids. The feelings of being missed were mutual.
Sam, that sly dog, left me a long, involved voicemail about a club and meeting him for drinks there and something about having a talk. Once I get caught up on sleep, I'll sort that out. And then sort him out.
More later,
Bruce

Well, I'm another year older kids. Always odd to spend it overseas. I did get a lovely package from Ida and the kids.
I also got a birthday e-mail that confirmed some of my suspicions. A link to an interview where Sam confirms what I've known all along: Then doctors came to us and said, "Look, he is okay. Yes. He can bend his back more. It's more about pain. He won't be paralyzed." I like causing actors pain. (laughs)
I added that emphasis myself.
Sam, Sam, Sam...
I think I'll go smoke one of those cigars I got for my birthday and reflect.
More later,
Bruce

Hey kids,
Bruce here. I checked a few sites while the connection worked here.
Aside: Do you know it takes over five hours for tech support to arrive? And then I got some guy who didn't speak English, fiddled with a couple of things, spoke in a language I didn't understand (Some things are the same no matter where you are) and presented me with a bill.
Like I was saying, I checked some sites and I see that the fourth season of Xena is out on DVD now. I hope plenty of people pick it up, not just because of the royalties, but because there's a bonus feature entitled "Cabin Fever". Quality all the way with Ted and myself.
Next time I can get a connection that works, I've gotta call Sam and see if he can't get me a ride out of here for the Spider-Man 2 premiere.
More later, after I pay off another technician.

Hi kids, it's Bruce. Internet connections are a thing of the past here in Prague. I mean, you're lucky if the connection doesn't crap out after five minutes.
And don't get me started on the phone. How can I bug Sam as he gets his long-awaited vacation started?
But the alcohol? Is sweet.
More later, if I can stay connected.

Bulgaria??
Let me tell you something, kids. Never agree to make more than one movie with a childhood friend.
Is that country even on a map? Damn, this means I can't bug Sam til I get back. I hope Josh is "ready" for some pranks. Lots of them.
More when I figure out how to work things in Bulgaria,
Bruce

It's no fun knowing something about Sam when I can't get in touch with him to annoy him with it.
Ted's been calling me lately, asking, "You won't tell Sam I told you, right?"
I just tell him that I must have had too much to drink that night myself, because I can't remember what he's talking about.
The noises he makes are seriously funny, kids.
More later, when I get in touch with Sam,

I met Ted for drinks and asked him about Sam. Ted says to me, "I don't know anything about a special club, okay? Not even if you were to ply me with liquor would I reveal a thing!"
I had to do as he said, and got him incredibly drunk. He sang like a bird, kids.
Sam, you sly, sly dog.
From the sound of it, it's not one of those clubs where I can "accidentally" bump into him. Which is a shame, because the idea of him all dressed up for the club and seeing me there is funnier than any of the Three Stooges bits.
Trust me. I know funny, kids.
More later,
Bruce

Whaddya know, this thing is still here. I thought it would be gone by now. Shows what I know about these computers.
I got a call from Sam this morning. He's all worked up into a frenzy. The studio's moved up the release date of the movie, and announced a date for the third one.
I wonder if I can talk him into letting me have a larger role in the third one. Something equally pivotal, but bigger.
"What am I gonna do with all this tension?" he asked me.
"Sam," I says, I can call him Sam because I've known him for so long, "Didn't you tell me about a special club...?"
He got real quiet-like on the other end of the line for a minute and then said, "Shit." He hung up on me after that. First time he's done that to me.
Eh, I'll call Ted later, see if he can fill me in on what's buggin' Sam.
More later,
Bruce

I'm gonna be back in L.A. this week. I wonder if I'll have time for a bar or two in-between all the appearances. I wonder...

Hey kdis, it's Bruce. Had a good party tonigh, lots of people there. Sam and Ted were there. I love Sam and Ted.

I gotta talk with him about that again. See if he was seriuos, 'cause Sam can pull my leg, yknow. wouln't be the first time.
More later, if I survvie the hangover I feel coming on,

Things are looking good for your old pal Bruce. Got the new book I'm still working on, due in September, with another book tour to follow.
And my birthday's coming up. I'm gonna be forty-five years old. Hard to believe.
Maybe I can get a few minutes alone with Sam at the party, have a talk with him about some stuff. That would be good.

I was channel-surfing this afternoon and spotted one of the Dead movies.
Thinking back on it, I actually enjoyed getting all those bruises and cuts. Jesus. I wonder what Sam would say if I called him up and said, "Hey, Sam. Remember how you beat the crap out of me in the movies? Turns out I really liked it."

Ida and I were able to get away from the kids for awhile today. That was nice.
But then I made the mistake of mentioning our kinky escapades in the past. It was an accident. I really do know better than to mention this stuff with her any more.
And brother, you should've seen the change. Total ice queen. Like that. *snaps fingers* But she said something during our exchange of angry words and accusations that made sense. She said that maybe I should see a therapist about this sort of stuff.
Yeah, I can see it now. "So, Mr. Campbell." "Please, call me Bruce." "Bruce. Why do you think you enjoy kinky sexual activities?"
I'm in this alone.

Oh God. I'm a pervert. Yeah, that would go over really well in the new book. "Bruce Campbell on How To Be A Pervert"
But, when I was a kid and we played Zorro, and I got tied up, I dunno. I *liked* it.
And Ida and I, when we experimented those rare times when we got away from the kids, she hated it.
But I enjoyed it.
Oh. I'm a sick, sick man.
