We could simply cut and paste stories from Variety, but we don’t. We’re too amazing for that. We RETYPE articles from Variety…

IS KEVIN SMITH A HYPOCRITE?

Nick disagrees right here. It’s like a bad Penny Arcade comic (how you tell the bad ones from the good ones, I don’t know…) – Kevin Smith will be a guest critic on Ebert and Roeper while Roger Ebert recovers from complications in surgery. I’m not taken aback by this because I think Smith would … Continue reading

FROM BEER TO BABIES

This weekend at the San Diego Comic Con the members of Broken Lizard revealed to Suicide Girls’ Dan Epstein that their next movie won’t be a Broken Lizard movie. But it’ll have Broken Lizard in it. Called The Babymaker, the film will be directed by Jay Chandrasekhar and be produced by Broken Lizard, and it … Continue reading

FLETCH SCRUBS

***Update from Nick*** Here’s Zach Braff’s take on the issue from his official site: "I know the obvious question that follows, and the answer is: I don’t know yet.

What is this? Every single day of the week (almost), a new "Graboid", a single moment grabbed from a random movie, appears on this site for you to guess the name of the film, share with your officemates, or discuss on our message boards.

POSTERS OF HORROR

Here’s some new wall imagery for a pair of upcoming horror flicks, the perpetually delayed remake of the Japanese spooker Pulse (starring Veronica Mars supercutie Kristen Bell and Lost casualty Ian Somerhalder), and the next trap-filled chapter of extravagant carnage Saw III, which no doubt has the American Dental Association making some calls. Enjoy!

MY SUPREMELY SEXY SASSY GIRL

After years of multiple kidnappings and other absurdity on 24, obsessionable superblonde Elisha Cuthbert is slowly working her way up the feature film hotlist. And if they pull it off, this could be the part that thrusts her to the top. Cuthbert is planning to take the lead in Gold Circle’s remake of the delightful … Continue reading

THE CHUD THINKER 7.25.06

I like to believe regular CHUD readers are reasonably smart — astute enough to have found our site, and masochistic enough to keep returning. We’ve been running the Daily Graboid for nearly a year now to test your movie knowledge, but how about straining that noggin? The CHUD Thinker is a puzzle, rebus, pictogram, visual … Continue reading

POST COMIC CON REPORT: 300

Now that I’ve had some time to decompress and process what was witnessed (and in some cases smelled, unfortunately) at this year’s San Diego Comic Con, it’s time to share. I’d been moderately curious about 300, the adaptation of Frank Miller’s graphic novel by Dawn of the Dead redirector Zack Snyder. The story is a … Continue reading

THE GRIND HOUSE KILLER

UPDATE: The official press release hit today announcing the Death Proof casting, and in addition to Kurt Russell and everyone else listed below, Tarantino will also have actresses Vanessa Ferlito (24) and Jordan Ladd (Cabin Fever, Club Dread) on Stuntman Mike’s hitlist, as well as the previously named Tracie Thoms (Rent).
