No fucking way I’m restating my thesis again. This is "Part III", homes. Ain’t no Season of the Witch goin’ on up in here. You gots to read the other entries if’n you want this shit to make any kind of sense. And if you do, by chance, locate the connective tissue, shoot me an … Continue reading
Just the other night, Dr. J(eremy Smith) was joking about going to New York to catch The Darjeeling Limited at the New York Film Festival. Or was he joking? Even with a mediocre script, the new Wes Anderson isn’t a laughing matter, and the fact that I left NYC just before this film plays the … Continue reading

I will miss ol’ Richard Franklin. The Australian director of Psycho II, Cloak & Dagger, Roadgames, and seminal orangutan opus Link has left us thanks to that merciless killer, Cancer. He was a staple of my formative horror pre-teens and a constant Fangoria interviewee during their golden years [ah, I miss the old Fangoria], a … Continue reading

There are so many degrees of wrongdoing in the Valarie Plame outing case that I can’t imagine a two hour film doing the subject justice – especially in the hands of Rod Lurie, who’s prepping a fictional account of the scandal with Nothing But the Truth. It’s not just about a covert CIA operative having … Continue reading
UPDATE: I have received a couple of emails from Fox insiders who have explained to me what happened with Fox at Comic Con this year. What I’ve been told is that after last year’s Borat presentation, which had that scene of Borat and friend fighting in the nude, relations between San Diego Comic Con and … Continue reading
Ready for a little ‘Germ warfare? So is Tom Cruise as it appears, for as you see before you he makes for an attractive soldier for the Bryan Singer/Chris McQuarrie joint Valkyrie. The vibe here at CHUD.com for this film is murky (as evidenced in previous stories such as this and this) but it is … Continue reading
