(From the Pulp Crime stories) I’ve got problems, and it’s not just the fact that I woke up with a 9mm pressed to my skull. My problem is that the gun and the uneasy resemblance of a man connected to it hardly phase me. The third time this month I’ve let this happen. That’s more … Continue reading
The word got out this week – Marvel is planning an Avengers movie, and Zak Penn, one half of the writing team on X-Men: The Last Stand and the writer of the upcoming Incredible Hulk, will be doing the screenwriting chores. I contacted Zak to ask him for some more info about what his vision … Continue reading
Charlie Kaufman is making his directorial debut, and it’ll be interesting to see what the writer has learned from his partnerships with Spike Jonze and Michel Gondry. The movie is one that he’s written (of course) called Synecdoche, and it’s about “an anguished playwright and the several women in his life.” I guess after you’ve … Continue reading
Good Day, Nick here. Since the late 90’s (except for 2005, which was my "dark year at CHUD.com") we’ve done a CHUD Babe Draft. It used to be a little creepier back in the day, a concept of an island populated by Chewers complete with each of these handpicked "harems" of the best and brightest … Continue reading
It sounds like Mark Wahlberg is starring in the sequel to Unbreakable, but that’s not what Invincible is about. Also, Invincible is a Disney movie, and those people are out of the M Night business. No, Invincible is a football movie, and it’s one aimed at agening people like me (33 this year! Jeez) who … Continue reading
After many others have tried, Batman Begins director Christopher Nolan will attempt to condense the cerebral 17-episode series The Prisoner into a coherent feature film. Some time after he’s done telling the next chapter in the saga of The Dark Knight (which I still say should be titled Batman Persists or Batman Keeps On Keepin’ … Continue reading
Even though he got blasted out a skyscraper window by him in what might be the most unintentionally hilarious scene in the Star Wars prequels (and there were a lot of them), Sam Jackson is still on good terms with Hayden Christensen – they’re working together again on Fox’s contemporary sci-fi flick Jumper. Christensen’s involvement … Continue reading
What. The. Hell? Smokin’ Aces is the movie that Narc director Joe Carnahan made after exiting Mission Impossible 3, and thank a god other than Xenu that he did. All I knew was that the flick was a casino crime tale, but I certainly didn’t expect it to resemble Guy Ritchie by way of Road … Continue reading

It’s hard to think of a better week than the one that began just before and ended right after this year’s Comic Con. It was an unbelievable eight or nine days where I was able to conduct some of the best and most interesting interviews of my career and meet some of the most amazing … Continue reading
