I know some of you want to read my scathing indictments of my new hometown of Los Angeles and its citizens, but when you read what follows, you’ll see why I’m finding myself pretty OK with the City of Angels. Edgar Wright is going to be presenting his own film festival at LA’s wonderful New … Continue reading
The trailer for Dan In Real Life set Jeremy off a little bit when it debuted; click here to read his original write-up wherein he bemoans the casting of Juliette Binoche as Dane Cook’s girlfriend. Some weeks later Jeremy and I were at a screening and ran into Drew McWeeny, aka Moriarty of Ain’t It … Continue reading
I love Into the Wild. It’s a film that moved me to tears, and that is still living in my thoughts, long after I saw it. It’s a film that I know I will revisit again and again over the years, one that will leave me with something new every time I see it. The … Continue reading
This is the first I heard of it, but apparently there’s 14 pages of the Justice League of America script floating around out there. Problem is, they’re fake. At least that’s what Patrick Sauriol, the guy who helped invent this ridiculous job I have, hears from his sources deep inside Annie Sprinkle. Or at least … Continue reading
Just when you think you never want to see another Star Wars parody as long as you live (no, I’m not talking about the Prequels.

My wife tells me that Gena Rowlands was on, and mentioned that her son was ORIGINALLY going to direct an IRON-MAN movie… he’s now instead thinking of doing CAPTAIN AMERICA. Not quite sure who her son is… or … Continue reading
Before seeing The Nightmare Before Christmas at the El Capitan Theater on Hollywood Boulevard, I ducked into the Disney Store right next door and marveled at the amount of Nightmare merchandise available. Old timers will remember that when the movie was originally released it did okay business, and it captured the imagination of a certain … Continue reading
Last night I was walking down Hollywood Boulevard and a Sexy Nurse walked past me. Usually I would assume she was just a hooker, but I soon saw more people in costumes; there must have been a pre-Halloween party somewhere in the area. I have to admit that I took a long look at the … Continue reading
I was talking with CHUD’s own Jeremy Smith about White Jazz the other day, saying how excited I was for it. Jeremy said he had heard that the project was in trouble; I laughed it off, saying that if George Clooney wanted to make the movie, the movie would get made. George Clooney has dropped … Continue reading
