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

FIRST A DUCK, NOW A RETRIEVER

All that stands between you and certain doom is Vin Diesel. I know, not a comforting thought, but that’s the premise of his next film, The Retriever. It’s being produced by German tax dodge Equity Pictures, the folks behind Rambo IV. Here’s what they have to say about the new Vin film on their website … Continue reading

FROM DARK WATER TO PARADISE

There were rumors – and I can’t back these up – that director Walter Salles was unhappy with his latest film, Dark Water. Which makes sense, as it mostly sucked. But the guy has real talent, as his wonderful The Motorcycle Diaries shows. And now he’s getting back on the road with another hard travelling picture … Continue reading

DAILY GRABOID 8.5.05

Every single day of the week, a new Graboid appears on this site for you to guess the name of the film, share with your officemates, or discuss on our message boards. Sometimes the graboid will be very easy and sometimes it’ll be as obscure as obscure gets (from relatively mainstream films). So read the … Continue reading

CLINT RECRUITS MORE TROOPS

When Clint Eastwood heads back to the South Pacific (or at least to Iceland, which is apparently standing in for the slightly more temperate region) for his WWII movie Flags of Our Fathers, he’ll have a couple more dogfaces to command. Blue-eyed actor Neal McDonough will grab his M1 Garand for Eastwood’s directing effort, having … Continue reading

SAM ROCKWELL STICKS OUT HIS THUMB

We heard from doctor of plastic surgery/doom Julian McMahon a couple of months ago that he was considering taking a ride as the titular itinerant madman in Michael Bay’s upcoming remake of the 1986 thriller The Hitcher, but now a different hitchhiker is being eyeballed for the part. According to Bay himself, Sam Rockwell is potentially … Continue reading

DAILY GRABOID 8.4.05

Every single day of the week, a new Graboid appears on this site for you to guess the name of the film, share with your officemates, or discuss on our message boards. Sometimes the graboid will be very easy (like today’s, though yesterday’s stumped some of you) and sometimes it’ll be as obscure as obscure … Continue reading

TAKE A DIP IN THE FOUNTAIN

True story: Jim Lee spoiled The Fountain for me. While we were in San Diego, Warner Bros had a very cool cocktail party for the film, with Darren "Genius" Aronofsky (check out Nick’s exclusive interview with the guy from Comic Con by clicking here) and Rachel Weisz in attendance. Also at the party – a … Continue reading

GET HEAD FROM CHUMSCRUBBER

There is one thing that unites all working Americans – the desire to waste time at the office. If you work at a job that has internet access, you probably spend a good 40% of your day scouring the web looking for ways to waste time. Hopefully CHUD.com has helped you in this respect, but … Continue reading

“GOSH!” “MMM-HMMMM”

This article has possibly the most confusing title yet seen on CHUD.com, but if you realize that it is my attempt to bring together catchphrases (or noises) from Napoleon Dynamite and Sling Blade, not only will it make sense, it’ll be strangely satisfying for you to say. See, the premise here is that Billy Bob Thornton … Continue reading

SAMURAI L. JACKSON

We heard a while back that increasingly ubiquitous actor and all-purpose bad motherfucker Samuel L. Jackson would be lending his voice to Spike TV’s animated series based on Takashi Okazaki’s comic Afrosamurai, but he must’ve become addicted to the slashing of people and objects during the Star Wars prequels (or maybe he saw the Clone … Continue reading
