Last night it was announced that Fox would be pulling their presentations from next week’s Comic Con. The official reasoning was that they just weren’t ready, but I soon heard from a number of sources – some quite unimpeachable and highly placed – that the real reason Fox was bowing out was that after last … Continue reading →
One of the interesting aspects about movies these days is that we live in an era where so much of the curtain behind moviemaking has been pulled back that it’s redefined the way we watch films. We’ve been fortunate enough, especially as geeks or genre fans or whatever you want to call yourself, to enjoy … Continue reading →
There are so many degrees of wrongdoing in the Valarie Plame outing case that I can’t imagine a two hour film doing the subject justice – especially in the hands of Rod Lurie, who’s prepping a fictional account of the scandal with Nothing But the Truth. It’s not just about a covert CIA operative having … Continue reading →
UPDATE: I have received a couple of emails from Fox insiders who have explained to me what happened with Fox at Comic Con this year. What I’ve been told is that after last year’s Borat presentation, which had that scene of Borat and friend fighting in the nude, relations between San Diego Comic Con and … Continue reading →
Ready for a little ‘Germ warfare? So is Tom Cruise as it appears, for as you see before you he makes for an attractive soldier for the Bryan Singer/Chris McQuarrie joint Valkyrie. The vibe here at CHUD.com for this film is murky (as evidenced in previous stories such as this and this) but it is … Continue reading →

For the last few years, DC Comics’ universe of interconnected superhero titles have been embroiled in a rolling series of crossovers and events, each supposedly redefining or recreating what has come before, and changing the status quo of the comic book universe as it exists. Starting with Identity Crisis, which had such family fun as … Continue reading →
I feel like I may have blown my joke load in the title of this piece – what else is there to say about Rambo’s quizzical look at a viper that probably wants to inject him with some venom? Moviesonline.ca has a couple of new pics from John Rambo, Sylvester Stallone’s attempt to restart his … Continue reading →
The other night I visited a 7/11 in Burbank that had been made up as a Kwik-E-Mart. There are a handful of stores that have made the full change (all 7/11s sell Simpsons products, and you’re actually more likely to find a Buzz Cola at a non-Kwik-E-Mart), and they made that change weeks ago… and … Continue reading →
A lot of us had a pretty good chuckle a few months back when the long-delayed, much-maligned feature film adaptation of DOA: Dead or Alive washed up on Google Video and gave us all a day or two of guffaws. The prevailing joke was that it was the first film to go “direct-to-Google-Video,” but of … Continue reading →
