Thoughts on Bubba Ho-Tep
-Sebastian, an old man in a soul-killing retirement home who may or may not be Elvis Presley, contemplates age, frailty, dignity, and death while investigating strange happenings with Jack/John Kennedy (Ossie Davis).
-Surely the greatest movie ever made to star both JFK and Elvis. And that's not a narrow field.
-Bruce Cambell, anyway, creates the best on-screen representation of the man ever. A surprisingly straight, dry character who's come to terms with his fate--never being able to retrieve his identity from the impersonator he signed it over to--and mnildly waits for death with 'a growth on his pecker', and by the end you really hope that he is Elvis.
-After seeing this movie, I'm never carting anyone I know to a retirement home.
