First of all… there’s no way this movie is going to be great because of a little factor I’d like to call the Happy Madison Factor. That said, holy shit. I’d heard Strange Wilderness mentioned in passing in Devin’s Beerfest Set Visit report but I glazed over it. I rarely check on my favorite creators’ … Continue reading
It’s difficult to imagine a creative team getting behind a big zombie project in 2007/2008. The genre has been bled, drawn and quartered. But Zack Snyder came up with a story he’s calling Army of the Dead and Joby Harold (director of Awake) has written a screenplay that’s being used to shop around for directors. … Continue reading
Wolverine may be a masta killa, but he’s also entirely predictable. You know he’s going to bust out the blades, you can rely on his berzerker attitude, and when a hot Asian girl comes on the scene, there’s no doubt he’s going to try to slip it to her. Once upon a time the object … Continue reading
The viral onslaught of The Dark Knight continues! And if you’re giddy to see yet another still image of Heath Ledger’s Caine-curdling Joker, well, giddy you soon shall be! No offense intended to the lovely blokes at Empire Online, but the "All Will Be Revealed…" boast feels kind of empty considering that we’ve seen nearly … Continue reading

Folks who remember my old missives from the old Steady Leak articles should find this kind of stuff familiar. Folks seemed to get a kick out of the first installment, and … Continue reading
It’s a tough year for Michelle Williams. First she and Heath Ledger break up (a break up that has shaken Brooklyn to its very core, by the way. The people of my beloved and erstwhile home were looking at Heath and Michelle to validate their long underdogged borough in the way only hot celebs can), … Continue reading
Instead of just bumping the one article for the CHUD Podcast, I’m going to give each installment their own so that we can build this thing up a little better and keep it fresh. Of course fresh isn’t exactly on the menu with these shows due to the meandering craziness of them, but you get … Continue reading
This weekend was the junket for The Golden Compass in London, England, and some internet types had a chance to talk to Best James Bond Ever, Daniel Craig, who plays Lord Asriel in that film. Of course questions turned to Bond 22, but besides a reassurance that the film is still happening despite the strike, … Continue reading
A couple of days ago Brad Pitt dropped out of State of Play, the movie that was to reteam him with Fight Club buddy Edward Norton. Based on a British miniseries, State of Play is about an investigative journalist (the character Pitt was to play) who is investigating a killing that leads to a fast … Continue reading
