A Spy Sneaks A Look At The Cancer-Free FANBOYS!

Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.

I was at this screening tonight. And there is indeed a version of FANBOYS in which the word "cancer" is never spoken, and in which Linus is not sick. At all.

I’ll say this: the film played well. The audience was very vocal and very demonstrative. They enjoyed it. I’m fairly sure they did well in terms of numbers based on the way the audience sounded during the film. They were with it.

I’ll have a piece up this weekend about FANBOYS and where it is right now in terms of a possible release. I’d say things look promising for the film, and if anyone else who was there wants to write in... or if you saw the screening on Tuesday, which was a different version... then please... we’d love for you to weigh in:

So I got to see a screening at the AMC l6 here in Burbank, CA. G

Ok. So here's a little about me. I don't care that much about Star Wars. Yeah, it's some good movies, and I like watching them. But I wouldn't say I was a fan. However, I do know two VERY hot girls who are fans. Actually, they're fangirls. They both have some funky red tattoo that they tell me is the symbol of rebel alliance. I'm not even really sure what that means, but I'm sure you do. So when I got the chance to see the screening, I decided to take them as a gesture of goodwill (to get into their pants). These are girls who turn heads when they walk into a room. And if I didn't know them myself, I wouldn't believe they existed. But I digress...

I absolutely LOVED this film. LOVED. This is going to be one of those films that will become a cult hit. I am not even a Star Wars fan like these girls were and still I found myself laughing nearly every minute the film was playing. The cast, the writing, everything was great. Nonstop laughter. I won't post any spoilers, I don't see the point. Just go see it. This film is good. Real good. And there are some surprise cameos that you will love. And Harry, I didn't know you could kick so much ass. Who knew?

Perfect movie. I wouldn't change a thing. I cannot wait for this to come out on dvd. This is one I will watch over and over. With fanboys and nonfanboys. And girls.

So yeah, I didn't score with either chick. I asked them afterwards if they would polish my lightsaber. They laughed and told me something about how you can't polish the force. I don't even know what that means...

Ironically, my nickname has always been - Solo
