Hey Chicago!! Capone Wants To Show You DIARY OF THE DEAD On Valentine's Day!! [Deadline Tonight @ Midnight!!]
Hey everyone. Capone in Chicago here.
There are two things that truly scare a man: zombies and Valentine's Day. So to all of you Chicago-area men-folk, I've got a proposition for you. How would you like to combine the two? I've got a limited number of passes (each pass is good for two) to see GEORGE ROMERO'S DIARY OF THE DEAD on Valentine's Day (the evening of February 14, to be precise) in the Windy City.
Now let me be clear about a couple things. Romero will not be at the screening (which doesn't necessarily mean I won't be talking to him in the near future); and in all likelihood, I won't either. I'm running this contest because I know you guys really want to see this film. At a screening I hosted last week, I dropped a hint that I'd have passes for DIARY OF THE DEAD soon, and people went a little ape shit.
So here's what you have to do to win. Send me an e-mail at capone@aintitcoolmail.com with your name and the name of your guest. The subject line should read "DIARY OF THE DEAD Contest," and nothing else; don't get cute or I'll slap you down. In order to win, you need to write a short (50 words or less) essay on why you love zombies (let me count the ways).
I'm going to be up front with you guys--I’m going to favor sending passes to couples because it's Valentine's Day. However, I will read every single entry and if your response is inspired, you're in. When I say "limited number of passes," I mean it. So this is a contest about quality responses and not just enthusiasm. THE DEADLINE FOR ENTRIES IS TONIGHT (WEDNESDAY) AT MIDNIGHT. Good luck, my friends.

I had to try :(

. . . might as well make those passes good for just one, Capone.
-
That at this point I don't know who to believe. Some people say its good, other say it sucks. I guess I'll wait and decide for myself.
-
Nope.
-
I love zombies because even a shitstorm like Land of the Dead can't taint their coolness.
-
Thanks Vini. We other Chicagoans appreciate your kind gesture.

Hey Capone- Are you hosting or one of these studios and we get c

If its a studio Cattle Call - fugghetaboutit- but if its something you are doing ALA MonsterHouse- Let us know.
-
you stand there for 2 hours- then you get stuck int he front row next to soem old man- I'd rather just wait 3 days and see it on my time
-
where's your Top Films of 2007 story? It's been so while that I need the search engine, and we all know how well that works. It's basically a good way to knock down those I haven't seen by plugging ones from your list into my queue.

I saw this one at SCREAMFEST in LA and it was barely average. At no point did I believe that the idiot films students wouldn't put down the cameras and help each other or even run away. The acting is bad. The concept is laughable. The only thing I remember as even a remote high point was the bit with the Amish guy. Rent the originals and stay home.

You ever notice he looks like one of those tall guys who walk up and down the stairs in that Daft Punk "Around the World" video.
-
Really bad movies.
-
Hey Capone, I'll suck your dick if you give me some passes.
-
The ones that come from morgues and hospitals. Old lady zombies are creepy too. Zombies that come from the projects (like in the beginning of the original "Dawn of the Dead") are creepy too..just being lost in the projects is kinda bad but to have zombies lurking around..Fuucckkk that! I keep on thinking about that one legged priest in the original DotD. He was going to check on his sister..on the 7th floor!!
-
That dude is scary man.
-
now that was a good one, slow moving and actually LOOK dead instead of just having a few scabs or cuts on them and pale. they look like theyve been in the ground for a bit.

A group of students filming a horror movie in the woods encounter another group of students searching for a legendary witch. When a giant whalecrab is awakened, will they run for their lives, or team up to get the best footage?
-
Due to recently moving, I wouldn't be able to make the trek from Des Moines again. I'm a sad panda now. :(
-
It was by email... pretty cool...
I was picked... it was sent to my work email... I will post it tomorrow morning...
-
Hey I won and the screening is on my birthday! Any AICN'ers wanna grab a couple drinks after the movie , I'm game!
