But first, a reckoning about what I wrote the other day: Maybe I was a little harsh on Yes Man, especially not having yet seen it. That’s not the order in which things ought to be done. Then again, now that I have done things in reverse order, I feel like I don’t … Continue reading
As many CHUD readers can attest to, holiday traveling is about as much fun as working out to a Richard Simmons’ Sweatin’ To The Oldies tape. At first it’s bearable, but around the twenty minute mark, you’re reduced to a jiggly, babbling mess, forced to re-evaluate your life and, quite possibly, your sexuality. Such … Continue reading
… Let me start off by saying I’m generally not the type of person who thinks you can break things down into black and white absolutes as portrayed by best of the year lists. Generally when asked if I have a favorite album or band I say no, I can name favorites, but not a … Continue reading

So to prevent all of our brains from turning into mush this holiday season, I have come up with … Continue reading
I guess it’s time I finally break the silence regarding The Blair Witch Project. If there’s a dark spot on my career, the deaths of those three poor actors are it. I’m sorry, Josh. I’m sorry, Michael. I’m sorry, Heather. I just wanted to make a movie. Shit got outta hand. It was supposed to … Continue reading
Okay, time to put a fork in this. I’ve taken my time getting through these last wrap-ups, but I’ve gone too long without thanking some people, and it’s time to move on to new subjects. If you care to look through the previous entries, here they are… Introductions:Part One Part TwoPart Three (Brett Ratner Edition) … Continue reading
So Devin’s article this evening got me thinking about Robin. But what about him? Let’s be honest, the character is largely terrible, serving as little more than a gay joke in modern times and will likely not figure largely, if at all, into Nolan’s “why so serious” Batman films (And while we’re at it, why … Continue reading
