Here's your one stop shop for links to all the MySpace pages related to the site, its periphery, and its editors. Add the heck out of us! If you're a shill, go fuck yourself. Official CHUD.com page. Nick's Page. The CHUD Show. Nick's Production Company. The… Continue reading
This week some of my colleagues finally saw Ghost Rider; I should have been there, but family business kept me in New York. I haven’t heard back from anyone yet, but I imagine that responses will fall into two categories: “That was shit” or “That wasn’t the… Continue reading
You’re not going to be happy about this, but Hot Fuzz has been moved back a week to April 20. This might really be good news, though, as Focus/Rogue says “This new date gives us a prime position to aggressively launch the film here in the US.” Could this mean… Continue reading

With the recent rumor of the Dark Crystal prequel Power of the Dark Crystal being kaput and our mention of that in the Puppets Plan Attack story (read it here), some some investigative readers on the message boards called bullshit. I put in a call to the Jim… Continue reading
Roger Donaldson is one of those directors for whom the oft-overused description of “solid” is actually perfect. The guy has worked steadily in studio pictures since the early 80’s, and some of my favorite silly genre flicks (Species) and small thrillers… Continue reading
