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
I’ve got a lot of respect for the working actor — it takes massive dedication to show up for bit parts, commercials and godawful corporate/industrial projects day in and day out. Hundreds and hundreds of unheralded folks make their living fleshing out the stuff we watch on TV and in the theater. And sometimes, all … Continue reading
The best thing about Monday morning is the flood of Oh Don Piano! news coming out of the weekend junkets. And though this might look like an attention-getting Monday morning fake, it’s probably going to happen. IESB is reporting that at the junket for Shooter, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura was talking up G.I. Joe, which … Continue reading

Sometimes the Graboid will be very easy and sometimes it’ll be … Continue reading
A lot of people were surprised when Battlestar Galactica turned out to be very excellent. What was also surprising was the fact that ex-model Tricia Helfer has turned in such a consistently great performance as a multitude of variations on her sexy Cylon character, Six (no relation to Blossom). While her good looks let you … Continue reading
The A in AICN sometimes means Access – these guys get all the good access. More power to them, he says as he chokes down his own jealousy. This time the gang at AICN, or more specifically jet-setter Quint, is down in Louisiana on the set of Frank Darabont’s adaptation of Stephen King’s The Mist. … Continue reading
For many people, one of the highlights of the Oscar ceremony last Sunday was Jerry Seinfeld introducing the Best Documentary Oscar with a little bit of stand-up about going to the movies, where he poked some fun at the nominees as ‘depressing.’ If that was an audition for hosting the next ceremony… consider me sold. … Continue reading
Regular CHUD readers* will recognize the plaintive cry of “Oh Don Piano!” – it’s what we call that breed of non-news story the internet specializes in, where someone at a junket asks a random actor if he’d like to star in Geek Project X, and the actor, knowing to not close any doors to potential … Continue reading
