Live in Chicago? Wanna see Shia LaBeouf in EAGLE EYE? Capone has the details!!! UPDATED!!!

Published at:  Sep 15, 2008 7:32:39 PM CDT



Hey Capone again. The reation just in a first eight hours or so was borderline overwhelming, so I'm officially ending the contest. Thanks for entering, everyone. I think we're going to have fun!




Hey everyone. Capone in Chicago here.


So tomorrow I'm off to London to spend a little time with Daniel Craig and Marc Forster talking QUANTUM OF SOLACE, but before I hop on my plane, I wanted to offer up another screening opportunity for the folks in the Chicago area. I've got a fistful of passes to a screening of EAGLE EYE on Wednesday, September 24 at 7:00 pm in Chicago.


EAGLE EYE features the reteaming of Shia LaBeouf and his DISTURBIA director, D.J. Caruso. It also features the lovely Michelle Monaghan, the lovely Rosario Dawson, the lovely Billy Bob Thornton, and the scary Michael Chiklis. And we'll be seeing the film just a few days after its premiere at Fantastic Fest.


Just to be clear, I'm getting about 200 seats to fill--about half the theater. So this does mean that if you win, you MUST arrive early to make certain you get in. I'm anticipating a very full house. Since each pass is good for one person, you can actually enter this contest without a guest. If you want to bring a guest, you can only bring one.


Since I'm not sure how much time I'm going to have this week to really read over essay-length entries, I'm going to keep things simple. Here's how to win: send an email to me at capone@aintitcoolmail.com. The subject line should read "EYE SPY EAGLE EYE". In the body of your email, give me your first and last name, and tell me whether you are bringing a guest or not. This is really important, because I don't want to have any extra passes left over at the end of the night.


When I've gotten upwards of 300 entries, I'm closing the contest, giving each entry a number, and randomly selecting names until the passes are gone.


Keep an eye on the site early next week (probably Monday) for the list of winners, and I'll also send emails to all the winners with the screening location details. Good luck! And fellow Chicagoans should keep checking back, I'm going to have contests for roughly a screening per week for the next few weeks. Exciting times are ahead.

    Hitchcock remake with Shia.......

    by thewaqman

    Holy shit I can't fucking wait. Thats a completely original idea. AND DJ Caruso made it? Wow, I never saw that coming. Honestly I fucking hate "Papa Spielberg" he's the only one capable of giving us the massive disappointment that is Indy IV AND a North by Northwest Remake both starring the same midget turdfucker.

    Also Shia Labeouf not = Brando

    by thewaqman

    I swear I burst out laughing when I saw Shia Labeouf trying to mirror "Wild One" Brando in Indy. Fucking hell talk about shitty comparison. On looks alone thats like comparing Brad Pitt to Jonah Hill. And then don't even get me started on acting talent.

    Poor Shia

    by le vicious fishus

    Didn't he say filmgoers who hate his guts are "just jealous" in an interview recently? LOL

    Honestly, while I wouldn't mind some of that money he has, I can't think of one thing he has that I would want. Not exaggerating or being a dick. I honestly can say that--money notwithstanding--there is nothing about Shia that makes me jealous. I don't like him as an actor, and I don't like the way he looks. And I'm mystified by his success (though he is in truth but one in a long line of low-to-no-talent Hollywood Shias).Interesting...

    by le vicious fishus

    Shia is a mediocre Hollywood actor in a long line of mediocre Hollywood actors of all races and religious beliefs/non-beliefs. The kid got lucky--period. I think most of us can agree, at any rate, that Shia is at the most a run-of-the-mill talent who was at the right place at the right time.

    by prunkhaft

    Between a lukewarm (at best) reception from moviegoers and halting transformers 2 production ($$$$) due to his DUI shenanigans...I would imagine that producers may be losing some faith in "the Beef". At least I hope, I think Disturbia did fairly well, but could Indy 4 have met box office expectations? I'd be surprised. If Eagle Eye bombs...

    i have a ton of things to do that night.

    i have to drink a gallon of boiling pasta water.

    i have to smash a jar full of live spiders in my apartment.

    i have to scrub the head of my penis tabasco, pumice and shattered light bulb.

    i have to remove one of my teeth with a knitting needle and sheer force of will.

    i have to avoid seeing any screenings with shia labeouf.

    i have to puncture my own scrotum with my thumb and then start pulling my self apart.

    i will be really busy that night.

    seriously, thank you for the offer.

    I've been to more than a few of your screenings, and I've met you and all that jazz, but, man, you've gotta stop over-selling every event you hold. Yet have I been to a screening that was actually filled of yours - there's always plenty of seats left, and you act in every post as if people are jumping off buildings in order to snag tickets for your events. Why is this?

    at the airport. At the baggage carousel. He was boarding a plane to Tokyo. I also saw him at the video store. He was working there early one Saturday morning, putting a stack of videos back onto the shelves. I think he's also a contestant on this year's Australian Idol. All the girls love him.
