Sometimes you think an upcoming movie is so cool already that no force on Earth could make it cooler. How could A Scanner Darkly, a movie based on a Philip K Dick story, directed by Richard Linklater, done in the awesome animated style of Waking Life and starring Robert Downey Jr, Keanu Reeves, Winona Ryder … Continue reading
So, Mission: Impossible 3, the film that no one thought (or really cared) would get made, actually finished principal photography earlier last week and is well on its way to making its May 5th release to kickoff the summer movie season of ’06 (despite the fact that summer actually begins in mid June… science weeps). … Continue reading
There’s a shortage of quality science-fiction on the air, but Andy Cosby’s looking to change that with his upcoming Sci-Fi Channel series Eureka. The show won’t hit the airwaves until the summer (along with new episodes of Battlestar Galactica), but we’ve got a brief glimpse of what’s in store. Normally we don’t cover a lot … Continue reading
I like pretty young thing Scarlett Johansson okay, and I understand that she’s the current "It Girl" but she should probably be wary of overexposure (and I’m not referring to her ample bosom, which she should feel welcome to expose).

Director Rob Cohen, whose area of expertise has historically involved hurtling various objects at high velocity (usually followed by random explosions), will bring the life of recently deceased filmmaker/boob-worshiper Russ Meyer to screens. Cohen has groped the Meyer biography “Big Bosoms and Square Jaws” (which I’m sort of doubting will be the film’s final title, … Continue reading
The other day I reported to you that Sarah Michelle Gellar would be returning for The Grudge 2, the least necessary sequel in history, since the original didn’t even have a fucking plot to continue. At the time I said that I thought her continued starring roles in crappy PG13 genre films was a bad … Continue reading
The 40 Year Old Virgin DVD is hitting stores next week (there’s a theatrical version and an unrated version with 17 extra minutes put in – buy either version from CHUD right here!), and I had a chance to speak to Seth Rogen and director Judd Apatow about it recently. Seth’s interview will be up … Continue reading

Mark Millar’s comic series Wanted has a fascinating premise: an average twentysomething working chump suddenly discovers he’s the son of a deceased supervillain and has inherited both his notoriety and his uncanny marksmanship skills. He also learns that a cabal of villains long ago wiped out the world’s superheroes, and they’ve since been secretly controlling … Continue reading
