And Punxsatawney Phil says blah weather for the next six weeks . . . as if we needed a doped up groundhog to tell us that....
I want to go see Bubba Ho-tep, it's playing out at the Oaks Theater in Oakmont. THis movie features Bruce Campbell of Army of Darkness fame, and it's supposed to be top notch. Anyone wanna go? My car's down for the week (at least) so you'll have to drive.... :P

Here's the scoop, it's a limited engagement (from the Oaks webpage):

Bubba Ho-tep
SUN & MON @ 3:15, 5:15

TUE, WED, THU @ 5:15, 7:30, 9:30


PITTSBURGH EXCLUSIVE! Based on the Bram Stoker Award nominated short story by cult author Joe R. Lansdale, the stylish and funny "BUBBA HO-TEP" tells the "true" story of what really became of Elvis Presley. Bruce Campbell ("Evil Dead," “Army of Darkness”) and Ossie Davis ("Do the Right Thing") star as two elderly residents in an East Texas rest home plagued by an evil Egyptian mummy. Apparently Elvis (Campbell) actually switched identities with an Elvis impersonator years before his "death," and has now lost his desire to live. But when Elvis meets Jack (Davis), a fellow nursing home resident who thinks that he is actually President John F. Kennedy, the two old codgers sally forth to battle the mummy and rescue the other residents from losing their souls (as well as their lives)! At once a hilarious comedy and outrageously clever horror flick, "BUBBA HO-TEP" is a unique exploration of aging, dignity and the meaning of life.
