Roger Ebert hoped to be back on his feet and reviewing movies by now, and so had we. But it turns out that the cancer in his salivary gland requires more treatment. “[T]he surgeons tell me they will have to take a staged, multi-phased approach to getting me back in shape,” Ebert says in a … Continue reading

VISUALIZE VENOM

As CHUD’s recent “Turdformers” article proves, sometimes toy manufacturers have no choice but to let the cat out of the bag when it comes to licensed material. On that note, witness the Medicom Real Action Hero Spider-Man 3 Venom doll, distributed by Sideshow Collectibles. These images offer a clearer view of the design than the … Continue reading

BLADES OF STREAMING GLORY

I never thought I would be a Will Ferrell fan, but here I am, digging him in movie after movie (not Bewitched. Or Kicking and Screaming. Or… well, you get the point). Blades of Glory may not be prime Ferrell – that’s reserved for the films he does with Adam McKay – but it’s got … Continue reading

So I don’t know what it exactly means when Another Bullshit Night in Suck City has come to be under the … Continue reading

DECEPTIVE DYKES?
