I like to believe regular CHUD readers are reasonably smart — astute enough to have found our site, and masochistic enough to keep returning. We’ve been running the Daily Graboid for nearly a year now to test your movie knowledge, but how about straining that noggin? The CHUD Thinker is a puzzle, rebus, pictogram, visual … Continue reading
Order this book from CHUD.com. My name is Cameron Hughes and I love books. I love them. I could read all day and my dream is to write novels. How cool would that be? I’d get to read, get my own stuff out there, and have a way to get all the ideas in my … Continue reading
The first time I interviewed John C Reilly, for Criminal, I asked him about his first movie role in Casualties of War. He got kind of annoyed, saying it was old news, but I thought it was a pretty fascinating story (he went with the production to Thailand as an extra and ended up being … Continue reading

If there’s stuff you miss (News Attack, If CHUD Ran, etc.), please send … Continue reading

It’s going to be a good 10-20 degrees cooler down at Coney, and the film starts at 8:30, when the heat will be … Continue reading

(If You Want It) Merry Christmas from John & Yoko.” It was the height of the bloody and useless Vietnam War and the message was simple and elegant: the war – … Continue reading
[Same intro as last time] Once upon a time I was a Stephen King apologist. If he ran over someone’s cat, I’d drive to their house and say “I’m sorry Stephen King flattened your furry little Obnoxio”. Nowadays, people are running Mr. King down like it’s going out of style [once] and his last few … Continue reading
Making a movie about 9/11 presents many challenges. There’s the need to remain faithful to the events and the people who died. There’s the need to be respectful to the survivors and the families while creating a compelling film. And that’s just what goes into the writing and filming of the movie – then you … Continue reading
