Alright
you Primitive Screwheads, listen up! You see this? This... is my
BOOMSTICK! The twelve-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of
the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's
right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for
about a hundred and nine, ninety five. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt
blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart.
You got that?
When
I was maybe 11, I saw late at night a horror movie called Evil dead. It
terrified me. So of course I watched Evil Dead II not long after and
was also terrified, again. The "humour" in the movie escaped me, and the
fact the main hero, Ash, spends a good half of the movie alone,
tormented by evil demonic forces really made a number on me. But the
worst part was the movie's ending, in which our hero gets propelled back
in medieval times, not the happy ending you want for your horror movie.
Lady, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ask you to leave the store.
And who the hell are you?
Name's Ash. [cocks rifle]
Housewares.
Two
years later, I saw a commercial for Army of Darkness, and I realized it
was the sequel to Evil Dead! Finally I would knew what happened to Ash!
As I was 13, and the movie was PG-13, I went to see it in the theater. I
quickly realized that the sequel was much more lighthearted than the
original, and while for a moment it disappointed me I rapidly fell for
it's humour, and laughed for 90 minutes straight.
You found me beautiful once...
Honey, you got reeeal ugly!
To
this day, Army of Darkness is one of the movies I've seen the most
often, and I can recite most of the movie lines by heart. And they're so
many classic quotes in that movie!
I intend to use him in Pulp games, and also of course Zombicide! It's a great figure, and I'm really happy with my painting.
Sure, I could have stayed in the past. I could have even been king. But in my own way, I *am* king.
Hail to the king, baby.
Brilliant! Bravo Iannick. I love this.
