THE CHUD THINKER 8.10.06

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

3 POSTERS OF 300

I’m not gonna lie – this year has been sorely disappointing when it comes to movies. Sure there have been a handful of high quality blindsiders and a few prepackaged blockbusters that scraped past average, but 2006 has really dropped a heavy steamer on the chest of film fanatics. Will next year prove any better? … Continue reading

LOOKS LIKE THERE’S GONNA BE A SHOWDOWN

Thanks to the magic of cinema, we’ve been privy to the underground (hence illegal) worlds of street racing, hand-to-hand combat, flesh trading, and even the wagering of luck itself (go put Intacto in your Netflix queue, pronto). So modern day gunfighting was probably inevitable, but certainly welcome. Maverick Films is taking us into the realm … Continue reading

PIVEN LIVES IN THE KINGDOM

It’s been a long road, but Jeremy Piven has come a long way from roles like “Candle Seller” and “Patrolman” and “Nervous Quick-Mart Clerk” and that yammering asshole he played in Judgment Night. By now he must have an agent almost as good as that scene-stealing cyclone he portrays on Entourage, a dynamic performance that’s … Continue reading

CONTEST: EXPOSE YOURSELF TO BOOM! COMICS

The boys (and girls) at comic publisher Boom! are really burning things up – they’ve got some of the hottest, most explody books on the shelves, and just in case you’ve been asleep, they’re willing to share! The Boom! collective are no slouches, with years in the entertainment trenches — Andy Cosby has a smash hit … Continue reading

PAUL GIAMATTI IS ALSO A DICK?

Once in a while there’s a concept so exceptional that everyone wants to incorporate it into a feature film, so you’ll see Deep Impact vs. Armageddon, or Volcano vs. Dante’s Peak. Needless to say, nobody wins. But at this particular moment in time, everybody loves Dick. No, not the collective penis, which no doubt has … Continue reading

TRAILER: THE MARINE

Do you spite common sense and enjoy junky direct-to-video action flicks, but secretly wish they played in theaters? Then The Marine looks like the answer to your prayers! WWE superstar John Cena has left behind the world of sweaty soap operas and homoerotic faux-violence for this rather ridiculous-looking bullet-riddled endeavor, in which he portrays an … Continue reading

THOR’S COMIC COLUMN

The Apotheosis of the Urban Vigilante: Daredevil #67 and Batman #655 By Jeb D. It’s a good time to be a fan of the street-level two-fisted costumed avenger. Recent creative team changes are breathing new life into two of comicdom’s toughest hombres: Batman and Daredevil. Daredevil, of course, has been one of Marvel’s strongest titles … Continue reading
