Why did I just get redirected to an online gambling site? “By this time tomorrow, it’ll be like browsing a whole new CHUD.” Yep, that’s the truth. I open up the CHUD front page, I automatically get redirected to www.pacificpoker.com. Not a pop up. Not a flash ad. It takes me away from CHUD and … Continue reading
Good Will Hunting is about how much I hate academia. The main character, Goodwill Hunting (original name: Dumpsterdive Diving), is not only kind of a con-man, but he’s also the biggest asshole in the history of really smart people pretending to be really dumb people. The point is that the academics are even bigger assholes, … Continue reading
As I attempt to write an article for the magazine Paracinema (a great genre magazine slowly building up steam in various markets throughout the country), writing reviews on some exploitation films Severin Films sent me recently to cover and also some book reviews for one of my favorite companies in the literary world, Hard Case … Continue reading
To say I was a bit disappointed in “The X-Files: I Want to Believe” is an understatement. I’ll refrain from making wisecracks using the words from the actual title of the film, which so many reviewers have done already. (As in, “I wanted to believe this would be a good film,” etc.) But I went … Continue reading
***SPOILERS!!*** Yes The Dark Night came out last week after years of waiting. But there’s another film that I’ve also been anxiously anticipating for months, The X-Files: I Want to Believe. I haven’t been an X-Phile for long. I was younger when it was on TV and was too scared to watch it and then … Continue reading
The days are beginning to become far more crowded as we move along. After coming here for eleven years, as I said yesterday, you learn many tricks. You also learn however, the way the population works. The closer you get to the weekend, the more crowded it becomes. Being a Friday, the numbers tend … Continue reading
There are all sorts of great double features. Not too long ago I had a Teeth & Carrie double feature. “Vaginas Gone Wrong Night”, we called it. You know what isn’t a good double feature? Above the Law and Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theatres. I wasted my Saturday on a film … Continue reading
I’ve been debating whether or not I should do a write-up for this year’s Comic-Con. Many friends of mine are spaced out around the country and I consider you, my kick-ass readers, part of my extended family, so I decided to kill a couple of birds with one stone and share my blood, sweat, tears … Continue reading
There are plenty of cures for loneliness – drinking, coke snorting, violently inducing sleep, playing some kind of obsessive MMORPG, buying more cats, actually getting out of the house to meet new people – but I find the easiest antidote to be curling up in a ball on the couch and listening to an audio … Continue reading
The first comic-con morning started off as normally as it does every year. The dynamic I have discovered in dealing with my brother during mornings where he is required to wake before noon, is simply to ride out the storm. He is awful argumentative and irritated until about noon, so if you just let … Continue reading
