TAKE A DIP IN THE FOUNTAIN

True story: Jim Lee spoiled The Fountain for me. While we were in San Diego, Warner Bros had a very cool cocktail party for the film, with Darren "Genius" Aronofsky (check out Nick’s exclusive interview with the guy from Comic Con by clicking here) and Rachel Weisz in attendance. Also at the party – a … Continue reading

GET HEAD FROM CHUMSCRUBBER

There is one thing that unites all working Americans – the desire to waste time at the office. If you work at a job that has internet access, you probably spend a good 40% of your day scouring the web looking for ways to waste time. Hopefully CHUD.com has helped you in this respect, but … Continue reading

“GOSH!” “MMM-HMMMM”

This article has possibly the most confusing title yet seen on CHUD.com, but if you realize that it is my attempt to bring together catchphrases (or noises) from Napoleon Dynamite and Sling Blade, not only will it make sense, it’ll be strangely satisfying for you to say. See, the premise here is that Billy Bob Thornton … Continue reading

LIGHTNING BOLT! LIGHTNING BOLT!

You may remember that video clip of some kids doing Live Action Role Playing – LARPing – that hit the web a couple years back. It has a great moment where the wizard is throwing Nerf darts at some guy in a Shitty Ogre costume, and he’s shouting the name of the spell he’s casting: … Continue reading

DON’T SAY HIS EUGOOLIGY JUST YET

There are two kinds of people in the world – those who understand that Zoolander is one of the funniest films in decades and those who are damned to comedy hell. The film, which whimpered into theaters right after 9/11, has been building a steady cult following on DVD as people start to get it. … Continue reading

REVIEW: DUKES OF HAZZARD

Burt Reynolds fired his agent after Boogie Nights. If he has a lick of sense in his head, he’ll kill his agent after Dukes of Hazzard. The movie, an adaptation of the popular TV show, has the distinction of being one of the worst films I have sat through so far this year. It’s a … Continue reading

WHY THE HELL HAVEN’T YOU SEEN MURDERBALL?

There’s a depressing story on the AP Wire – Murderball, the excellent documentary about parapeligic rugby players, isn’t doing well. Obviously no one expected it to be opening at number one (even in these doc-heavy, post Fahrenheit 9/11 times), especially since it opened in just LA and NY, went to the top 10 national markets … Continue reading

HARRY POTTER AND THE TOE OF THE CAMEL

Harry Potter megasite The Leaky Cauldron has a whole slew of new pictures up from the next Potter film, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, including the one above, of Harry and other TriWizard Tournament contestants about to start the second task. In some skimpy clothes. Other pics at the site include some hi-res … Continue reading
