In the words of Ash, "Listen up you Primitive Screw-heads!!!"

Rating: 10/10 (5 November 1999)

Although I've already commented about "Army of Darkness" before, I felt I had to clear up a common misconception about the film. Sometimes you have to spell it out for some of the slower people out there!!!

You see, I was just talking the other day with someone who was deeply offended that Sam Raimi released Army of Darkness, and that it was an insult to the whole Evil Dead Trilogy. This is because he didn't find it scary at all.
GEEEZ!!! Can you believe that??? He didn't find "Army of Darkness" scary... hmmmm???? .... I wonder why???? .....hmmmmm???
Maybe because "Army of Darkness" is first and foremost a COMEDY! Ever heard of it? Yeah, its something called COMEDY. You know, the kinda stuff we laugh at. It was a clever move on Raimi's part, but unfortunately some of the slower people on the planet didn't get it. In fact, have you ever noticed how the Extras in Raimi's films are credited as Fake Shemps? (As in SHEMP from the THREE STOOGES) .....Ahhhhhhh I'm seeing a pattern here.
So in the words of our dear protagonist Ash, "Listen up you primitive screw-heads!!!" The jokes on you!!!! You didn't get the joke because you have the sense of humor of a house plant!!
Whats that I hear?
"You mean ARMY OF DARKNESS is a Comedy???"
"Ahhhhhhhhh....... Now I get it!!!!!"
