I like to believe regular CHUD readers are reasonably smart — astute enough to have found our site, and masochistic enough to keep returning. We’ve been running the Daily Graboid for nearly a year now to test your movie knowledge, but how about straining that noggin? The CHUD Thinker is a puzzle, rebus, pictogram, visual … Continue reading
Could one on ones with Jon Favreau be a Comic Con tradition? I certainly hope so. Last year I talked to him about Zathura and practical special effects as well as growing up in Queens; this year it’s all Iron Man. That’s Favreau’s next picture, which should begin filming in February. The movie doesn’t have … Continue reading
What is this? Every single day of the week (almost), a new "Graboid", a single moment grabbed from a random movie, appears on this site for you to guess the name of the film, share with your officemates, or discuss on our message boards. Sometimes the Graboid will be very easy and sometimes it’ll be … Continue reading
Nick disagrees right here. It’s like a bad Penny Arcade comic (how you tell the bad ones from the good ones, I don’t know…) – Kevin Smith will be a guest critic on Ebert and Roeper while Roger Ebert recovers from complications in surgery. I’m not taken aback by this because I think Smith would … Continue reading
Discard your biases. If you were on the fence, allow whatever preconceived notions to deteriorate into nothingness. And even though the Miami Vice pilot episode, with its coolly detached slivers of stylization (I don’t think Collins’ In the Air Tonight has been used quite as succinctly since) is something of a revelation, don’t let it … Continue reading
It was pretty weird seeing Neil LaBute [Nick’s interview from 2003] at Comic Con. I got the impression that he felt just as weird being there. He showed up to talk about his Wicker Man remake, and to show the first few minutes of the movie, which does a twist on the old “guy getting … Continue reading
***WARNING***Good day. Since so much of our site’s content is lost in other designs, hampered by ad code messing with the pages, or surrounded by gas and low on evil, I’m going to start reprinting them for new eyes. You’ll see classic Smilin’ Jack Ruby, stuff from me when I was relevant, early Devin, and … Continue reading
This weekend at the San Diego Comic Con the members of Broken Lizard revealed to Suicide Girls’ Dan Epstein that their next movie won’t be a Broken Lizard movie. But it’ll have Broken Lizard in it. Called The Babymaker, the film will be directed by Jay Chandrasekhar and be produced by Broken Lizard, and it … Continue reading
***Update from Nick*** Here’s Zach Braff’s take on the issue from his official site: "I know the obvious question that follows, and the answer is: I don’t know yet. There are many things up in the air. Most important to me is directing my adaptation of "Open Hearts," which I had planned to shoot next … Continue reading
The bad news is that you’re going to have to wait longer to bask in the glory that is Darren Aronofsky’s The Fountain, the best movie of this year, hands down. The good news is that the film has been moved from a wasteland October release date to a prime November 22 – the movie … Continue reading
