In the decades between 1880 and 1900, American Indians underwent significant cultural transformations as a result of European settlers who thrust them into reservations and Euro-American customs. During this period, William J. Lenny and William L. Sawyers opened a photo studio in Purcell, Okla., near the reservations, and photographed American Indians in both their traditional dress and the current fashions of the time.read more at austin360.com

Sam Raimi began his relentlessly inventive Evil Dead series in 1981, establishing the modern blueprint for young filmmakers with tiny budgets, clever ideas, and little interest in art for art’s sake. The plan: Make a grubby genre picture and load it up with ironic humor and excessive style. Raimi blew a stack of Hollywood money on the third installment, 1993’s Army Of Darkness, a good-natured but half-baked homage to Ray Harryhausen. The now-iconic Bruce Campbell stars as a dim retail clerk who’s sucked back into the medieval era with only a chainsaw and a shotgun as defense against the battalion of skeletal demons that plague him. It’s the least of the series, but it appeals to the sort of cultists who prefer their love objects to be deeply flawed, the better to celebrate their own offbeat taste. They should be out in full force for this quote-along, which provides the opportunity to shout lines like “This is my boomstick!” along with a theater full of fanboys.
