My recent interview with Edgar Wright and Nick Frost for the Hot Fuzz DVD has set off a firestorm of interest among Chewers; in the interview Edgar mentions he had considered doing an entry in our Guilty Pleasures list (which I have been slacking on so badly the last few days. Sorry Nick, Russ, Jeremy … Continue reading
MTV News was talking to Rose Byrne (why? Dunno, maybe just because she’s hot and they’re always looking for an excuse) and asked her about James Bond 22. It seems Byrne was rumored to be Bond’s babe back in Casino Royale, so I guess MTV wanted to see if those rumors were true this time … Continue reading

First the film was retitled John Hancock, which sounds like a movie set in 1776. Now it’s been shortened even further, to just Hancock. Han Cock. That’s what Harrison Ford slipped Carrie Fisher, I … Continue reading
Confession time: I haven’t watched anything on Saturday Night Live in years. I’ll catch a skit or short here or there on YouTube, but in general, I’ve left the show behind. Or maybe it’s left me behind. Either way, SNL works for the people for whom it works, and I’m not one of those. But … Continue reading
Welcome back to Late to the Party, the lively and exciting column in which I cast a bemused look over those films that I really ought to have seen years ago. This ninth column is something special, and by that I mean I promise I won’t do ones like it often. Rather than taking a … Continue reading

mLast week, the four leads from the amazingly funny Superbad hit town to promote the film. Andrew Sweeney [whose work in getting this recorded and prepared is phenomenal] and myself met with them on the Superbad Tour Bus at the Warped Tour in Atlanta. Those leads are: Jonah Hill, who plays Seth to vulgar perfection … Continue reading
While reading CHUD’s interview with Robert Downey Jr., I was struck by Downey’s insight on how the trailers for big time movies have become just as important as the film itself, if not moreso. And I found myself immediately thinking about 1-18-08/Cloverfield and the record time in which it went from heavily-anticipate to “We’re tired … Continue reading
