For those of you sick of Kirsten Dunst’s lazy lidded performances bringing movie after movie to their knees, you will soon get the distinct pleasure of seeing her bite the dust at the hands, innards and shards of flying steel of an Iraqi suicide bomber. The film she will be starring in is an as-yet … Continue reading
I have heard a couple of people say that Universal has done a poor job of marketing King Kong so far, but I really have to disagree. It’s too easy to burn us out early by pumping out a bunch of teasers and releasing too many images and doing too much PR. I think King … Continue reading
I love Spike Lee. I love him a whole bunch. But even I have a hard time explaining why he would say that it’s possible that the federal government caused New Orlean’s Ninth Ward to flood after last month’s Katrina horror.

You may remember that last month CHUD.com brought you the world breaking scoop that Danny Elfman and Sam Raimi had a major falling out, and that Elfman wouldn’t work on Spider-Man 3 – or any other future Raimi projects. I followed up on that with Bruce Campbell, who was surprised to learn about the rift, … Continue reading
