Some movies feel effortless, like the crew and actors came on the set and magic made itself. You, Me and Dupree feels effortless – but more like no one made even bothered to try to make a decent movie. The film is a mishmash of half-baked jokes, sitcom scenarios and Owen Wilson attempting to float … Continue reading
I’ve often said that one of the only reasons the comic industry still exists is to provide a platform for intellectual properties, because it’s far less complicated to plunk an issue of finished storyboards on a studio suit’s desk than go through all that pitching nonsense. The fellows at comic publisher Boom! are taking advantage … Continue reading
It seems like the studios are unleashing a lot of their material before Comic Con, so I hope they’re sitting on the really tasty goodies until we arrive… The Spider-Man 3 marketing department have decided to utilize technology from cereal boxes and variant comic book covers, crafting a new teaser poster with a lenticular design. … Continue reading

Broken Lizard is about as vital as any creative team working in Hollywood to me. Though Michael Mann is the guy who gets me to drop whatever I’m doing to watch his films [and Newell will be interviewing him for CHUD.com next week, lucky ape], these guys make me laugh more than anyone else and … Continue reading

Talking to John Kricfalusi (John K to fans) is a weird experience, because every now and again you can hear the Ren Hoek in his voice. It’s sort of surreal to realize you’re having a conversation with Ren about how the 1930s was the pinnacle of American progress. Ren & Stimpy first blew onto the … Continue reading
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
