LEAK LETTERS #68

Please send letters. Andy Writes: Hi Nick – you always seem to really appreciate feedback, and seeing as how I haven’t sent any in for a while I thought you might appreciate this. Reading CHUD from my desk at the office helps me ease myself into the working day. As I’m in England, by the … Continue reading

STEADY LEAK: SAGE ADVICE #3

I’m not wise. I’m just observant. And only partially filled with shit. So, in what is morphing into a "Leak a Day, Five Days a Week" habit, here’s another bit of light fare for the tail end of the week. A little sage advice. In the future, this may be a fun "Dear Abby" style … Continue reading

SCREENING: MAMA’S BOY

CLOVERFIELD TRAILER HAPPEN!

Yeah, it’s manipulative. Yeah, J.J. Abrams and crew milked their fanboys a little too hard. Yeah, viral marketing has already gotten stale. Yeah, the film’s two months away and they still ain’t shown us jack shit. But I’m sold. The new teaser trailer for Cloverfield has finally eclipsed its shaky and hideous YouTube origins having … Continue reading
