The big question looming over the mental defectives who are actually interested in this … Continue reading
The sequel to WarGames is getting momentum, with a director now being added to the mix: noted auteur Stuart Gillard will be helming the (I think) DTV sequel, hot off work like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III and the TV show Charmed. I don’t fully understand why this is a sequel and not just a … Continue reading
We are just days away from the premiere of season 3 of Battlestar Galactica, the only truly superb TV show in the SciFi Channel’s history. If you’ve read me gushing about Battlestar before you’ll know that I think this series is, in many ways, just about as good as TV gets. A lot of the … Continue reading

It’s no secret that I am less than psyched about Alien vs Predator 2, even with CHUD friend Shane Salerno writing the script.
