Want to see some of Harry Knowles in FANBOYS!?!?!? Well, c'mon then... click already!
Hey folks, Harry here... The film that refuses to die, FANBOYS is finally coming to theaters near... some of you. On February 6th, in limited release in Austin, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco & Seattle... there will be FANBOYS in theaters. Here in Austin, if I'm back from Berlin on time, I'll be joining with Ernie Cline at all screenings of the film on opening day at the Alamo Drafthouse. (Unless Airplane hijinks occur, in which case, it will be only Ernie Cline & an assload of 501st Stormtroopers). You folks in Chicago that got tickets to Capone's screening - give Kyle a great screening up there!
Now the clip below is not the 'entire' Harry Knowles scene. I'm hoping that both version of this scene appear in some form on the DVD, cuz they're both funny as hell in their own way. Besides, I like both Actors' take on me. The previous one's accent cracked me up. In this clip, you'll see an abbreviated chunk of the scene. Catch the whole scene in theaters February 6th... and feel free to cheer or boo the faux Harry - just like you do on AICN. May the fan force be with you...
OK - just for Clarity sake - This is an ACTOR playing me, NOT ACTUALLY ME. I'm actually way cuter and less gruff.

Ive been waiting for this for a while now
-
Buried under the ginger fuzz?
-
im having serious enter button issues, yes that is ethan suplee
-
anybody else have any stupid comments?this looks fucking retarded.
-
When do we get to see some pics of you buffed up/slimmed down? Love to see your progress; maybe you can start beating down fanboys in real life.
-
Can't wait to see her as a fangirl. I hope this does well. -
From what i saw its just Harry asking them about obscure star wars trivia. Anyone with access to IMDB could have written that.
-
this is for people to watch and go "my god what geeks, who cares about this crap so much? - what losers" - chewie's home planet? - is it funny to know that? - its not like some secret geek knowledge
-
sub-family guy even.
-
but still funny. I want to see it now.
-
It's EMPIRE, motherfucker.

It's pretty fucked that this movie doesn't have it's own officia
by heavenlykid
All I'm looking for is a Fanboy Desktop background.
-
that's the third time I've boned my headline. And when you fuck that up as many times as I have, it's time to call it quits. Love you guys, I'll keep reading...but it's time to leave talkbacking to the pros.
-
To have some free promotion?
Well, it HOPE it was free..... -
*I* hope it was free
-
I'd like to see a conversation between the guys/geeks when driving in the van about Scriptgirls tits and if she is sponsored by Red Bull or not. That would be funny, this will not be.
-
You know how much of a douche you look like whwn you make a post to correct a spelling mistake. Total fuc king douche.
-
Star Wars trivia more challenging than that?
-
*when*
-
Was AICN that big a site in 98?
There is a part in the movie where they hold the Millineum Falcon, the lightsaber sparring robot thingy, an ewok head, and Yoda hostage.
I'm going just to see the outcome of that. -
And for the cuteness that is Kristen Bell in her slave- Leia outfit.
-
from "My Name is Earl." Ethan does a pretty good job physically, but he doesn't have Harry's voice down... he just sounds like Randy Hickey.Still, it's a cool shout out for our beloved Head Geek... hopefully this will see a release here in Portland too (and in many other fine cities).
-
but it looks like it should kick ass. I'll go check it out.
-
I was on AICN in 98. Every piece of info about Episode 1 was treated like a woman sucking a little bit more butter off our cocks. I don't think Hulk Hogan was a baddie yet but I'm pretty sure she was the hottest tomboy beanpole on the planet. Inc onclusion, Aurra Sing kicked ass, all 3 seconds of her.
-
KEEP PORTLAND WEIRD MY FRIEND! A Bacon Maple Bar from VooDoo Doughnuts does sound good right now...
-
You basically get the Fanboys DVD on Ondemand, deleted scenes, 5 long clips, the making of etc.
-
would the geek crowd actually refer to the movies by their episode number? i've never heard anyone do that, not even the prequels so that seemed kinda odd. especially since this is before the prequels are even out.
-
Now I know why it's been on the shelf for years.
-
This is not going to work for my non SW freak friends
-
You also put a space between the *c* and *k* in fuck. twice in fact.
you might want to fix that up. -
In Bordeaux. He had dark hair but, other than that, he looked exactly like Harry Knowles. For some reason he gave me a filthy look when my brother and me were talking about Jeff Bridges.
-
That shit was as painful and cringeworthy to watch as TPM itself. Did George Lucas secretly write this film?
-
As if someone with even less talent than Kevin Smith attempted to make a Kevin Smith movie. Not even Veronica Mars in the slave costume can move me to see this... thing. I'll pass.
-
You Portlanders think you're so fancy, with your fancy city way of talkin' and so forth.
I do not expect a FANBOYS release in my neck of the woods, sir. -
Nail on the fucking head. Fanboys is being sold to us as a "comedy for geeks" like Spaced was.
When looking at this clip it's actually just the same crap you get in most teen comedy films with the comedy being "haha look how geeky they are, isn't that stupid? How fucking sad". It just looks embarressing. -
You've all heard of Jeff Foxworthy's "You may be a Redneck if..." , well this is my version. "You may be a Fanboy if...."

Which is funnier? People asking each other trivia, or a character explaining who is beating up another character.
-
Both give me headaches.

I once got a "French Harry" from a girl at a club for some coke
by ironic_name
she steamrolled my fat and it was useless for weeks.
-
is there some reason?
-
than Harry lol.
-
We've been hearing about this damn movie for five years ... and THAT'S it?? Gimme a break. It looks amateurish beyond belief.
Not to mention that STAR WARS fans have mostly turned against Lucas and the films, making this film almost irrelevant.
Dumb.
www.sammyray.com -
and the bit with the character explanining who harry and AICN is? If you have to explain a joke it's not going to be funny. If you have to explain a geek joke then it's not a film for geeks, its a film about geeks.
-
now makes me want to see Jason Biggs as brother Earl with a giant ginger red mustache.
-
is if they pull of the heist, watch Episode One, freak out, and then parody Valkyrie and go into a plot to assassinate Darth Lucas and restore order to the prequels.
That 'these are not the droids you are looking for' line was just WEAK. -
Harry is way sexier than Ethan. Speaking of Star Wars, a new directors cut?!?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgDB6Ac2rSc -
I wonder if he tried to convince the "Fanboys" cast that they're full of those darned body thetans.
Crazy ass cult. -
movie with Will from Will & Grace that barely got released. Will they just put this out on DVD already? The older it gets, the moldier the references wiil be.
-
But there are some pix of you that resemble a mole rat with red hair.
-
... if you like run-of-the-mill shit and ScriptGirl vids.
-
... but he doesn't look one. I'd sue the producers, Harry!!
Mind you, they probably seen what you looked like before. They probably just had a description of you and read your BLADE 2 review. LOL
p.s. FANBOYS' Harry looks like Blanka in STREETFIGHTER!! -
Mind you I wanted Simon Pegg..but he was busy.
-
not to be a negative nancy here, but judging from this clip and other stuff I've seen and read, well, this film looks terrible. and really wanted to like it.
-
...could play more convincing and way funnier nerds than those kids. "These are not the droids you're looking for"...Jesus
-
THAT would be pure BLISS. :-D
-
Mind you, they probably HADN'T seen what you looked like before. They probably just had a description of you and read your BLADE 2 review.
-
stop shilling your shitty homemade youtube videos. That was the worst fan-made shit I've ever seen. Looks like it was made by a 4-year old. It's not funny, it's not cool, It's not even well-done. What's the fuckin point?
-
But I haven't heard such contrived dialogue since Crash (the Haggis one).
-
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so nice one Harry on being parodied in a movie! (if truth be told the film looks diabolically awful from that one clip however)
-
C'mon Harry. Seriously.
-
Aww man! Why couldn't they get the TRUE Harry to play in this Movie?
It isn't like he wouldn't want to be in a Movie, or is it? - Naaah, i don't think i would refuse playing a role as myself, if something like this were to ever happen in my Life.
However, congratulations for being impersonated in a Movie, Harry! -
seriously, thats padawan stuff.
-
Jan 26, 2009 11:01:36 AM CST
Ugh, does Harry need more to feed his overinflated ego?
by iamjack'suserid
Harry should now worry about losing some of the air out of that head of his. His egomania has ruined the site. I know though that he's probably rich enough where he doesn't have to care about neither the site nor the readership.
-
Jan 26, 2009 11:03:28 AM CST
Spelling it "dood" is up there on the annoying scale
by iamjack'suserid
...right alongside "kewl", so watch it, pal.
-
For a nerdy indie geek pic. Yet another reason Star Trek is better than Star Wars. Even the geek tribute pics are better.
-
...can walk?
-
I love that movie. Still hoping for the sequel "Big Fat Geek Wedding."
-
Really lame. Didn't even crack a smile...
-
I agree, real geeks don't say Episode 5. The real geeks are about to argue how Kashyyyk has been pronounced different in different video games, and which pronunciation is really canon. That being said, this clip is surprisingly bad. I'm sure I'd be giddy if I were famous enough to be parodied like this, but my hopes for this movie were just dashed.
-
Quick, what is the track record of films that appeal to small audience to begin with, sit in the can for five years, go through needless power struggles, rewrites, get passed over to a second director after the film is in the can, and are redone with a series of needless cameos to replace any real content? This should have received a DVD release 5 years ago before they sunk more money into it, and when it was more relevant.
-
also played the white trash guy in Remember the Titans.
-
And not even good sit com level comedy. Everything (acting, editing, timing) just falls flat and hard-pressed to work. I'm surprised people are still working on this.
-
Everyone likes a laugh and joke, but that's a bit harsh.
-
Jan 26, 2009 11:37:19 AM CST
Kashyyk? Is that where Itchy and Lumpy live?
by the reluctant austinite
-
I agree with JimmyJoe RedSky, this isn't funny to actual Fanboys. There is nothing funny about knowing that Irvin Kershner and Kashyyk. I know the hockeyplayer douchebags at my school will eat this shit up and laugh real hard then come back to my religion class and beak me real hard for it. But yet I am not ashamed of being a fanboy. SO fuck the Weinsteins for raping what could have been a potentiallyfunny story
-
I'm being portrayed in a movie!
-
... That left a a lot to be desired.Explaining who a "celebrity" is before lampooning him smacks of "(genre) Movie" ineptitude.And is there any movie joke more hackneyed today than the reversal of expectations: the Jolly Fat Geek who turns out to be a Bad-ass or Nuns with raunchy vocabularies or Tech-savvy Amish?Also, any movie that's supposedly by and for geeks shouldn't be about characters who epitomize the stereotypical "nerd." That guy looked like Lewis Skolnick with his shirt untucked and had the limp-wristed, nasal-voiced demeanor of any "Saved by the Bell" dweeb.Maybe it's not fair to judge a movie based on less than 2 minutes of footage, but this looks like a movie with subject matter appealing to a very specialized audience (Star Wars geeks), but with a script written for the broader, lay masses. Unfortunately, this lack of commitment will not make Joe Sixpack come to a movie about nerds infiltrating Skywalker Ranch and will come off as inauthentic and condescending to its target market.

There you go bro, you've been dojo'd. Don't say I never give you nothin.

shit that was weak...too bad i was looking forward to it.
by fleshmachine
that was unfunnily weak. an apatow version would have been great. at least youd get some honest acting.

I tire of all talkback catchphrases anyway.
-
Jan 26, 2009 12:24:02 PM CST
There's a good reason why flicks get tossed around...
by alienindisguise
as much as this one has.It's simply because it sucks as evidenced by that mega amateurish clip.
-
I'd say that this has to be the only time you can ask that question and think favorably if the answer is yes.
-
We got the cancer!Or not. The cancer is the new squid!
-
Now, will this movie suffer Harry's wrath if they cut "him" out of the movie...al la "Monkeybone?"
-
You know.. the fat skinhead from "American History X"?
-
I constantly refer to them by episode; it's so much quicker.

Well, the guy that plays harry doesn't actually sound, act, talk
by mefrog
...and the clip doesn't look funny at all. And since I'm at school up north I won't be in Austin when it's released. And the trailer earlier sucked.
Guess I'll be missing this... -
At least let us know when our headlines run out.
-
it should have died long ago
-
FUCKING RETARDS. no im not a fanboy, I'm not even sure if its pronounced like that, i just took a quick glance at wookiepedia i just love to tousle your loins.
-
and he is cool as fuck.
-
now that would've been acceptable. i fucking loved that movie man, and that drummer guy got some hot ass pussy in that flick.
-
catchphrase to me? Cause I'm drawing a serious blank here.
-
where Itchy & Scratchy watch the Booboofett cartoon.
-
Go suck a bag of dicks!
-
...a decade or so ago
-
That was one dog of a clip. I assume it was supposed to be funny?
-
cuz there really is no other purpose to it....
-
And tell me you're gonna blow off Fanboys. http://tinyurl.com/dyjdhp
-
it's not just me.
-
the directors original "cancer" cut or the "Weinsteins are the cancer" cut?
-
Monkeybone was such a piece of shit that even Harry couln't defend it.
-
if you make 5 consecutive long posts describing what makes someone a fanboy
-
"Which version is going to be in the theater?" - the unfunny version that makes sw fans look like desperate losers
-
I'm guessing this is a deleted scene from "Epic Movie" because that was atrocious. "These are not the droids you're looking for"... I just threw up in my mouth.
Sad thing is, I really wanted this to be good. -
As soon as they started their own company, all we seemed to get from them was a string of crappy on-the-shelf movies that are eventually released in 400 theaters for one weekend. The problem is, "Fanboys" actually SHOULD have commercial potential. There are plenty of funny "trailer moments" and a bunch of recognizable young actors...tap into Star Wars nostalgia and I can't help but think that if they actually gave this a national ad campaign and stuck it in 2500 theaters off the bat, they would recoup more than they're losing.
-
Never said you didn't spell it correctly, Corky. I was implying that at least I do spell correctly. Go back to nursing your tissues over Cobra's "spamming".
-
Sorry. What a waste of human effort.
-
Yummy!
-
...and both Cobra-Kai and IAmJack'sUserID bring the business! How can I fault anyone for being obsessive about one film or another on AICN, for the love of Sherman? Fiendish dorkosity is why I come here. Fellas, I salute you.
-
It was not a joke! Seriously, Harry IS CRIPPLED, the guy playing him in the movie is not. Makes no sense.
-
I'm sorry, Harry, but this was painful to watch. You can practically hear the crickets chirping.
-
... and I knew the answers to those questions. Well, I might have stumbled on the speeder bike one.
-
I think it would be funnier if Harry played himself. As it is, this movie may be about 10 years too late. Star Wars references are almost annoying at this point. Looks like a cross between Detroit Rock City & Free Enterprise (minus the wit). And anything based around stealing The Phantom Menace may be too depressing for an old school Star Wars fan like myself. Yeah, I was 8 in 1977.
-
I believe it was something the prick sensei would repeat to his students in KARATE KID. But I'm not sure...
-
the one where they fuck.
-
He talked about it a couple years ago in response to the rumor that Jorge Garcia (LOST) was going to play Harry in the film: "Why am I not playing myself? Well, I told the filmmakers that frankly I'd be more interested in just seeing who they'd cast as me. Now, I'm just dying to see a still of Jorge as Harry!"The whole post about it can be read here:
http://aintitcool.com/node/22566 -
That was being shopped around at the same time as this one, only with no cancer plot? Where nerds plot to steal Episode I so they can watch it early?
-
Harry's not crippled, not in the sense of he'll never walk again. He's had some serious back injuries, though. That's why he uses a wheelchair.As he's mentioned on the site before, he's working on getting himself healthier and losing weight (with the help of the lapband surgery) so he can get back to ass-kicking form.Just sayin'.
-
I mean, Star Wars has been effectively ruined for years to come, Hollywood has been out of ideas for decades and is now running out of movies to remake/reboot, and Family Guy has pissed away any fun to be had in endless pop-culture references. This movie just looks tired and worn out.
-
If they really wanted to make this interesting, keep the cancer storyline and have the kid hang himself from his feeding tube after watching Jar Jar go spastic for the eighteenth time.
-
I think you're talking about the New Zealand short film from 2003, also called FANBOYS.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanboys_(2003_film)
-
That's got to be it. I don't remember anything about the plot, just that it and this movie were covered here at about the same time.
-
oh geez, sorry, just had to shoehorn that shit in there. this thread's hilarious. And yes, the Weinsteins completely SUCK ASS at distribution. I don't know how many films they've kept under their ass for years and then just dumped into theaters. They got like two films that have been made somewhere in the range of $50-65 million, and then other than that they've just got a string of flops and heavily underperforming films. On top of that, they're fucking reatarded and don't know when to leave directors the fuck alone. Most recent example: see the debacle that's been happening over Wayne Kramer's "Crossing Over"
-
This movie looks ok, but not as bad as this one!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgDB6Ac2rSc -
with Harry as the Wizard.
-
Almost embrassingly so.
-
because there would have to have been a constant stunt double.
-
but I get why it has a very limited release. It really is for the hardcore Star Wars fan and that doesn't even guarantee box office success, just look at Star Wars: The Clone Wars, an actual Star Wars movie.
-
and there was a hockey player by the name of andrew knowles. He had long red hair and looked like the skinny jock version of harry. kind of twilight zonish.
-
What kind of frame do you keep yours in? Did you get a bulk discount on them?
-
I've been covering and a part of FANBOYS since about 1998 or so. When the film was set to be a no-budget video-cam shoot by the screenwriter Ernie Cline, who was a friend of mine, I agreed to play me in the film. However, since about 2002 or so, I told Ernie and his producers that I thought it would be far funnier to have an actor play me, than me be me. After all, I'm only ever movie funny, when I'm animated by Cartuna in the top corner. As all you good talkbackers will attest... otherwise, I'm merely pathetic.
-
This movie's ship has sailed. Even if it was better written and less juvenile, after the one-two donkey kick to the testicles that was Clone Wars and Indiana Jones IV, it's just not cool anymore, it's sad. And I say that as a lifelong Star Wars/Lucas fan.
-
They should have filled the movie with cameos by people only geeks would recognize....you included Harry. That way if the jokes fall flat, it would have at least been fun to spot obscure pop culture cameos. Oh well. At least your severed head made it into Texas Chainsaw Massacre...a rare remake that was actually not bad (IMO).
-
Its going to be a good movie. Whats all the crying about? I cant beleive all the negative talk back. Well I can beleive it. But you know my point. Been waiting forever for this piece to come out.
-
They shoulda had harder questions.
-
Damn, that nailed the scene perfectly.
-
Yes people, we do exist.
-
... ruined SW saga is on George Lucas' list?
-
if this movie had come out one month before episode 1 it would have been huge. Waiting till Star wars has been completely destroyed and then making this was a terrible terrible idea.
-
Nobody ever calls them "PHANTOM" or "CLONES" or "SITH." It goes back to the trailers for EPISODE I. "STAR WARS! EPISODE ONE! THE PHANTOM MENACE!"
God, they whored that movie out but good. -
Just realized it. I mean, yeah, they're good movies (the first three, anyway), but do we really need them commented on ad nauseum in pop culture? And since the movies are so ridiculously ridiculously popular, do they even make sense as the go-to subject for "geek conversations"? I know Star Wars is the heart of the movie Fanboys, but still. Let's all agree to have a funeral for "Star Wars parodies / commentary" after Fanboys is released. It worked for the N word.

But they could have made the Star Wars questions a bit harder...
-
about your life could be pretty funny. And you'd have all this talkback material from the past decade to use for free.
-
I went from wanting to see this film to not wanting to.
-
everyone (well, critics) said that Mel Brooks waited too long to spoof Star Wars, but now it's beloved, so who's to say...
-
This is the final nail in the coffin. Throw in 'The Big Bang Theory', 'Chuck', and the hot chicks in geeky t-shirts you see in advertisements on this web site and everywhere else and it is officially no longer cool to be a Geek/Fanboy.

...I can't stand to see another Star Wars reference in anything. I swear to god when the cops did that lightsabre bit in Superbad it nearly made me vomit. I knew then that Star Wars was dead to me.
-
and in 2020 everyone will see it.

But I do recall that Harry was an avid supporter until his role was reduced!
-
...pretty bad. And not remotely funny. Yike.

It is an actor who is portraying Harry Knowles. The real Harry Knowles is attempting to lose weight...and will look like this actor once he loses another 200 pounds. J/K Well, congrats on the inclusion, Harry. You know what they always say: Imitation is the highest form of flattery!

I don't. Seriously, though, it was never as geeky as Star Trek -- but they are making it out that way nowadays. That being said: I love Star Wars...and Star Trek. The best Star Wars references are found on CBS's THE BIG BANG THEORY. Did you see the reference about Sheldon's STAR WARS sheets last night? Priceless!
-
Have to pass on FANBOYS; it was seriously compromised in the cutting room (much-o bathos).
-
when is the dvd coming out since there won't be a wider release?
-
who found this quite funny?
-
Stop it Randy! Get a grip.
-
so maybe you should leave it alone
-
We're already getting one. Google Where The Wild Things Are.
Also, if this clip represents the absolute WORST moment in this movie, it might have a chance. If there is a chance that parts of this movie are WORSE than this scene, I'd rather pay $12.00 to watch 2 girls 1 cup at a Baskin Robbins. -
Who am I directing that at? 3 guesses, bitches.
