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

THE CARS JUNKET: A DAY AT THE RACES

The Loews Motor Speedway is enormous. It’s humongous. It’s gigantic. It’s even approaching vast. For some of my dear readers this is not news, but I’m an inveterate New York City boy, and I never even imagined that I would ever watch a NASCAR race on television, let alone visit one of the tracks where … Continue reading

MICHAEL MYERS MEETS A ZOMBIE

UPDATED! Rob Zombie has written a MySpace message to the fans explaining just what’s up with his take on Halloween. Skip to the end for that. The Halloween franchise is born again, and in a most unexpected way – Dimension Films has turned to feel-bad auteur Rob Zombie to write, direct, music supervise and produce … Continue reading

I <3 EMMA FROST

USA Today has an article about the possible upcoming X-Men spin-off films, including the Wolverine and Magneto movies Fox has been talking about for about ever. There were two other concepts that really caught my eye, though, and the most interesting was David O. Russell working on an Emma Frost movie. David O. Russell is, … Continue reading

JESSICA ALBA HAS LOOSE LIPS ABOUT FF2

There are a lot of things I like about Jessica Alba (and by "like" I mean "furiously masturbate while fantasizing about"), and exactly none of them are her acting ability. Which is why the head-to-toe coverage of her transcendent chassis in Fantastic Four is so maddening. Such a waste. At least that unstable molecule outfit … Continue reading

A NEW HITCHER HITCHES IN

I suddenly feel better about the new but probably still completely unnecessary remake of The Hitcher. "Why?" you may ask. "I’ll tell you," I would answer. And then tell you. It’s because it would take someone with just the right combination of charismatic and sociopathic to replace the original’s Rutger Hauer, and the filmmakers have come pretty … Continue reading

SELLING SEX AT THE THEATER

This isn’t exactly news, but I thought it was pretty funny… CHUD reader Josh was recently at a Century Theater in Illinois and snapped this quick pic of an especially provocative arrangement of teaser posters for Superman Returns, Eragon and the new Pirates of the Caribbean. For clarity I included the original posters outside of their … Continue reading

THE FOUNTAIN TURNS ON IN OCTOBER

Darren Aronofsky’s long-awaited The Fountain will finally be hitting screens on October 13 of this year. And when I say long-awaited, I’m not kidding – the movie has been years and years in the making; I remember writing about this sucker when I first came on board CHUD 5 or so years ago. October’s an … Continue reading

THE WRATH OF CANNES

Richard Kelly’s Southland Tales took quite a whomping at the Cannes Film Festival recently, with some people calling it among the worst films ever made, and critics walking out in droves during the film’s TWO HOUR AND FORTY MINUTE runtime. I haven’t seen the film yet, but I do believe this may confirm the suspicion … Continue reading

TRANSFORMERS FINALLY MEET THE EYE

The first pictures of vehicles that will turn into giant sized robots in the live action Transformers movie have hit the internet. Some folks have gotten near some of the vehicles, including a bitchin’ Camaro, a cop car and a tank, and snapped a few shots. The motto on the side of the Decepticon cop … Continue reading
