I can’t let Jeremy be the only sweaty liveblogger here at the Con this year. So while there’s little chance that Warner’s is going to surprise us with any info today, I’m typing live from Hall H. There’s a pretty pathetic Batman and Robin sitting nearby, but if I can get the number of the … Continue reading →

So Johnny Depp’s doing pretty well for himself, isn’t he? The legacy grows as Depp has snapped up the rights to produce and star in a bi-screen adaptation of the beloved Dark Shadows series from yesteryear. As best described, it’s a soap opera about vampires and monsters. Nowhere near as goofy as Buffy and nowhere … Continue reading →
Last week, the four leads from the amazingly funny Superbad hit town to promote the film. Andrew Sweeney [whose work in getting this recorded and prepared is phenomenal] and myself met with them on the Superbad Tour Bus at the Warped Tour in Atlanta. Those leads are: Jonah Hill, who plays Seth to vulgar perfection … Continue reading →
I was happy that The Onion picked one of my favorite Simpsons jokes ever as one of theirs ("Are you being ironic?" "I just don’t know any more!") But I have spent the last couple years not watching The Simpsons, so there’s much I’ve missed. Somehow I doubt the quality of the movie will change … Continue reading →
On the off chance that something momentous might get broken at Paramount’s big panel o’ product, I’ve decided to live blog this nonsense for your goddamn benefit – because if you’re going to hang on each morsel of casting news, title news or on-the-fly descriptions of footage that will be on YouTube before the end … Continue reading →
Looking at our message boards and around the internet, it seems like people don’t much like the Beowulf trailer. We knew this was going to happen. Devin’s got that angle covered pretty well. Watching the trailer online this morning, it’s as we assumed — compared to a big screen showing, it plays horribly online, even … Continue reading →
There are flubs that can be fixed: the reflection of a glass panel between Indiana Jones and a hissing cobra, matte lines surrounding swooshing tie fighters, Greedo shooting first. But when the flub in question involves a glaringly obvious stunt woman in a shaggy wig crashing through a pane of glass, short of reshooting the … Continue reading →
Last night Russ, Jeremy and I attended the first official event of Comic Con 2007: the unveiling of about 20 minutes of Real D 3D footage of Robert Zemeckis’ Beowulf, based on Ye Olde English epic. After the footage and two trailers, we came to the conclusion that a lot of what we had seen … Continue reading →
First of all allow me to once again mention that I love the daylights out of Ang Lee’s Hulk. Call me a sucker for green gentlemen who punch giant dog balls if you must [actually call me on the CHUD Podcast Voice Mail Line at 1-678-827-0940] but I stand by the choice. Despite the vacuum … Continue reading →
