THE CHEWER COLUMN #35

Hey, guys. I’m currently blasting a leaked chunk of the Batman Begins score as I prepare this bad boy for you. I’ll tell ya, if the score is at all indicative of what we’re gonna get from this film (which I’m catching tonight… I know, I rule!), then we’re in a for a REAL treat. … Continue reading

CHUDSTORIES: BARGAIN

(From the Vampire Cheats Death stories) This cough is getting worse and my head feels like it’ll explode with the next fit, like someone could take the tip of a pin and pop it open with the slightest prick. There’s that light but leaden feeling in my arms and legs, swimming in gauze almost, and … Continue reading

CHUDSTORIES A COMIN’

Hello, faithful readers! Last month, we brought you a quick rundown of the upcoming CHUDstories we had as well as our latest story topic, Vampire Cheats Death. So what’s going on now? We will have a new story topic available later in the month. What it is, even I don’t know! Rest assured that it’ll … Continue reading

DANGER! NICK FROST

Here’s some good news for fans of Shaun of the Dead: Nick Frost, who played Ed in that film, did a show in the UK called Danger! 50,000 Volts, and it’s finally coming to the US (Now somebody get Spaced over here. Not for me – I imported it from the UK. But for the … Continue reading

TRAILER: BEWITCHED

I don’t particularly like being a negative prick (sometimes) but I’ll be damned if Bewitched doesn’t look like a waste of talent. Will Ferrell? Nicole Kidman? Michael Caine? David Alan Grier?! And here I thought they were simply turning the old television show into a contemporized film. You know, something that centered around a witch. … Continue reading

TRAILER: THE ISLAND

Four days ago, Señor Dave del Davis alerted us to the new domestic trailer for Michael Bay’s sci-fi thriller The Island. I gotta say, I’m in a bit of agreement with our resident Dave. Sure, Bay’s films aren’t the pinnacle of thought or substance and they do seem to excede the Hollywood quota for uses … Continue reading

CHUDSTORIES: MOTHER GOOSE

(From the Twisted Childhood stories)Dust piled upon dust piled upon boxes laid upon the floor, all filled with memory. The click of a pull-chain sprays stark glare upon the age worn trinkets of childhood. From somewhere far below, the static of four a.m. TV echoes upward to the attic. Lidless eyes glare angrily; doll faces … Continue reading

CROCKETT SIGHTINGS IN CALIFORNIA?

Now, before I get to it, allow me to first say hello to the CHUD readership as I begin my new stint as news jockey extraordinare (a.k.a. prince of copy-and-paste commands). Hopefully my presence here will help give you guys even more variety in terms of actual news and editorial wit (that hopefully won’t be TOO … Continue reading

CHUDSTORIES: SAFE MODE

(From the "Cyberpunk" Backspace stories)Chips Ahoy was beginning to think Microsoft’s new one-touch CTRL/ALT/DEL key was the single most useful thing they’d ever created – Windows Utopia be damned – as he pounded his way to another reboot. “If it’s a fatal exception, then why the hell aren’t you dead?” he screamed in frustration. The … Continue reading
