razazteca 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2004 Almost everywhere I go I see people making comments about these 2 pop icons. Bruce is living off of the Evil Dead series while Walken can't get enough cowbell. So who is the bigger star? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starvenger 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2004 Bigger star - Walken My bigger pop culture deity? Walken. Like William Shatner, he's one of those guys where his role is always "Christopher Walken as X", bu for Walken, it works. Whether it's talking about cowbell, dancing in a Fatboy Slim video or talking about the Tooth Fairy, it works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest JMA Report post Posted October 24, 2004 A tough choice, but Bruce Campbell gets my vote. "Hail to the king, baby." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boner Kawanger 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2004 Bruce Campbell played an elderly Elvis that fought a mummy alongside a black man who thought he was JFK. I love Walken, but there's no beating THAT. And Evil Dead II. And "If Chins Could Kill..." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

More or less. It's been that way for Walken as of late. Shatner's been milking the same style since Star Trek. And I'm sure that they know it. And really, I don't care that they do - they're still good at what they do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B. Brian Brunzell 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2004 That's a really tough question. I mean, Walken has done some amazing stuff throughout hsi career, including the COWBELL~!, but Campbell was Ash and Brisco MUTHERFUCKING County, Jr. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vyce 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2004 My personal god? Bruce all the way. But Walken is a more "mainstream" star, so I can see why more people would vote for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
razazteca 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2004 I don't think Walken is a mainstream star but rather an easy popular impression to do by stand ups who have no material......thats right I'm talking about Jay Mohr. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ted the Poster 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2004 Wow. This is like Sophie's Choice. *Flips a coin* Okay, Walken. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boner Kawanger 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2004 Wow. This is like Sophie's Choice. Oh, give me a break. We're picking between two actors, one that some people have never heard of and one that despite winning an Academy Award is best known for a one-note joke in an SNL skit. Sophie had to choose which member of her family died in a concentration camp. Our choice is much more important. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
razazteca 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2004 Tough choice, indeed, but the overall decision so far has been the crazy insane dancing fool over the b-movie elvis voice actor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
