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
Remember that little Piss and Vinegar thing that used to be such a big part of CHUD.com? Well, it’s had all sorts of sex and birthed forth an offspring destined to eat it and take over the countryside. The Nation’s Punched. The rant site from the makers of CHUD.com. By makers I mean me. Scared … Continue reading
When I was offered the opportunity to talk to Judd Apatow on the phone I jumped at it. His TV show Freaks & Geeks (buy it here!) is one of my all-time favorite things – not just favorite TV show, but just anything at all. He followed that show – which was cancelled way too … Continue reading

Sometimes you think an upcoming movie is so cool already that no force on Earth could make it cooler. How could A Scanner Darkly, a movie based on a Philip K Dick story, directed by Richard Linklater, done in the awesome animated style of Waking Life and starring Robert Downey Jr, Keanu Reeves, Winona Ryder … Continue reading
So, Mission: Impossible 3, the film that no one thought (or really cared) would get made, actually finished principal photography earlier last week and is well on its way to making its May 5th release to kickoff the summer movie season of ’06 (despite the fact that summer actually begins in mid June… science weeps). … Continue reading
There’s a shortage of quality science-fiction on the air, but Andy Cosby’s looking to change that with his upcoming Sci-Fi Channel series Eureka. The show won’t hit the airwaves until the summer (along with new episodes of Battlestar Galactica), but we’ve got a brief glimpse of what’s in store. Normally we don’t cover a lot … Continue reading
I hated Ju-On, and I hated the remake, The Grudge. Both were directed by Takashi Shimizu, who has made a cottage industry of retelling the same story about a ghostly curse in various sequels and direct to TV films. I hated Ju-On because I felt like I wasn’t needed – the film has utterly no … Continue reading

The movie in my mind’s eye is a steady succession of gorgeous scenery – majestic mountains and lonely plains, rivers and streams and long, endless highways. Ang Lee tells his sad love story perfectly with just the scenery of the American West. Which … Continue reading
