John McCain has been defended for doing a lot of things because of his five and half years in a prison camp. He cheated on his first wife numerous times, and then married a beer heiress. When Colmes compared John Edwards affair to McCain’s, Hannity’s response was “Don’t you know he was a POW?” When … Continue reading
A not so nice look at King of Kong.
Throughout the teen film craze of the 1990’s, a number of actors began to take hold of Hollywood with hopes of achieving a long and fruitful career. I’m not going to name names, but there were a select few who you just knew wouldn’t make it past the year 2000. Looking back now, I’m surprised … Continue reading
Today I’m going to flip the script and write about a movie which I haven’t even seen yet. I first learned of its existence while combing the horror bins at Amoeba in Hollywood, and immediately was curious to watch it, but would have had to buy it, sight-unseen, for a price better … Continue reading

For those who are not familiar with my previous Chud writings, in addition to my game reviews for MCP, I wrote the weekly column Random Setting. Originally it was a column for off-beat news stories, undeserving of a full-fledged column, but interesting enough to warrant mention (and often ripe for offensive lampoon).

Partly because the new movies are so good, it would almost seem blasphemous to go back to how things were before. And besides, how well could those old clunkers ever hold up now? But then, I thought … Continue reading
