“Cocaine Bear” is rampaging toward a theater near you.
The fact that so many moviegoers are so excited for its arrival just underscores one thing: people just love goofy horror movies. Especially if they have bears in them.
And that’s what they are getting in this Elizabeth Banks-directed flick, which opens Friday on a bazillion screens nationwide. Fans who can’t wait that long — and, yes, we are looking at you in the “Basket Case” T-shirt — can watch one of the many “early” screenings on Thursday.
