ALL THAT DRAMA WITH PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN

Philip Seymour Hoffman isn’t one of those cats who wins an award and then tells reporters "Golly, I don’t have anything lined up next!". Because that just would be a flat-out fib. And Hoffman’s pants are not, repeat NOT, on fire. Yes, a mere two days after being handed Oscar gold for his impersonation (let’s … Continue reading

THOR’S COMIC COLUMN

Ennis Continues to Build a Castle with The Punisher By Mark Wheaton “Huh.  Bitch, you dead?  You ain’t dead.  You best git to work suckin’ my dick.  Then fix me some muthafuckin’ eggs.” These words, spoken on the last two pages of The Punisher #31 to a naked, dead-looking woman sprawled on a bed with … Continue reading

You’re gonna see a whole lot of coverage of Tartan’s catalog on CHUD soon enough, but for now we’ve got some copies of the … Continue reading

TRAILER: X-MEN 3

I’ve gotta hand it to the marketing department at Fox. Or at least the people who assembled the trailer for X-Men 3 (which I still refuse to call The Last Stand) — they’ve certainly got their act together more than whatever misled souls have been unleashing those abominable publicity photos onto the internets. Now, we’ve … Continue reading
