It’s hard to keep track of all the goodness we’re sending out to folks, but here’s the latest batch. One note: The Oldboy UMD discs are sadly without packaging. I didn’t know this in advance and I apologize. Still, the movie’s on there and who the hell do you have to impress with your PSP … Continue reading
Of all things crazy and weird, CHUD.com gets all Food Network on your ass. John Cleese: Wine for the Confused is just as it sounds, a documentary somewhat similar to the For Dummies line of books where the former Monty Python member takes you on a trip through the California wine country and discusses all … Continue reading
Showtime’s groundbreaking show Queer as Folk is coming to an end with season 5, but that doesn’t mean it’s too late for you to get in on the critically acclaimed hit. We’re giving away five copies of the first season on DVD, which is, numerically speaking, the exact right place to start watching a TV … Continue reading
The people at the mail place lube themselves up when they see me approaching with two Hefty bags full of bubble mailers every couple of weeks.

The arrival of The Muppet Show on DVD is a monumental event for some of you folks, and I can only imagine that the Muppets Wizard of Oz is like a warm blanket from the past but stiched with vibrant new patches (and Quentin Tarantino, something that makes this DVD as much a curious impulse … Continue reading
I have run some cool contests here, but I think this might just be among the coolest. At least if you live in the New York area. There’s a very excellent movie theater nestled in the heart of midtown Manhattan called The ImaginAsian, New York’s only theater dedicated to showing Asian films (check out their … Continue reading
It made my list for the best of 2004, it made Devin’s list for the best of 2004, and it made Dave’s list for the best of 2004, which is what we call the CHUD trifecta around these parts.

It’s not often that we do a screening where there is a live element to it unless you consider my truly entertaining pre-show presentations and dissection of the smelly line that forms outside the theater of folks waiting to get in.
