Live in Chicago? Wanna see Seth Rogen's OBSERVE AND REPORT early? Capone has the details!!!

Published at:  Mar 24, 2009 8:42:07 PM CDT


Hey everyone. Capone in Chicago here, back from SXSW (with many reviews and interviews still to come), and I'm already itching to show the folks in Chicago a little bit of what I experienced during the festival. One of the most memorable films I saw at SXSW--and I'm guessing one of the most memorable I'll see all year--was writer-director Jody Hill's OBSERVE AND REPORT, starring Seth Rogen, Anna Faris, Michael Peña, and Ray Liotta. To put it quite plainly, this movie fucked me up in all the right ways, in all the ways that I've been waiting for a film to screw with my mind for years. And please keep in mind that Hill's last film, THE FOOT FIST WAY, didn't floor me it did a lot of other people. That said, I'm a huge fan of Hill and Danny McBride's HBO series "Eastbound and Down." But this film is something so different and so fantastically morally bankrupt; the soul of this movie is dark, even as it's making us laugh. That's all I'm saying about OBSERVE AND REPORT, except for this: we're doing a screening here in Chicago on April Fool's Day, and that's no fucking joke.

The screening will be on Wednesday, April 1 at 7:00pm, at a theater in downtown Chicago. Only winners will receive the location, and you have to be at least 18 to even think about entering this contest. We've got 250 seats to fill, so here's how to secure a pass good for you and one guest. If you stray from these instructions even a little bit, you're out of the running.

Send me an email at capone@aintitcoolmail.com with the subject line "WHY ARE YOU STOPPING, MOFO?" In the body of the email, I need your full name, whether or not your are bringing a guest (guests' names are not required), and, the answer to this question: "What's the most messed up shit you've ever seen in a mall?" Keep your answer to UNDER 75 WORDS, and if what you send me sounds like a lie, you don't win. More importantly, we need a full house of people ready to get their minds a little messed up, so don't enter this contest if there's even the slightest chance you can't make it.

Winners will receive an email from me and have your names will be posted on the site, so send in your entries soon. Winners must bring an ID to the screening to get in--no exceptions. I'm only leaving the contest open a day or two, because this thing is going to fill up fast. Good luck, everyone!

    Is there any way to get more Seth? We need MORE SETH.

    by professor_monster

    I want a Seth network that is on around the clock showing talking and reporting on all things Seth. I want a Seth line of clothing at Sears - Seth jackets, Seth pants, Seth boots, Seth undies and Seth cologne for the man who can get women who are way out of his league. I want someone to liquify Seth and inject him straight into my bloodstream - coating my liver, spleen and other organs with Seth bondo so that a layer of Seth paint can be applied!!! PLEASE MORE SETH

    CAPONE...

    by wonko

    How can you ask people to write about the most fucked up shit they've seen in a mall, a topic which is obviously going to generate emails full of really crazy sounding shit, and then decide to turn away the ones that sounds like lies? By what standard can you possibly judge that? I imagine you'll be denying victory to several crazy-but-true stories here.

    So tired of Rogen

    by cant_stop_yawning

    So is everyone else; the trailers for this look particularly cheap and lame. In a few years his career is going to look like Chevy Chase' a few years after leaving SNL.

    I entered!

    by kid idioteque

    I've always wanted to enter one of these, but being from Milwaukee I was never sure I could make it. This one I can make and I have a friend on board in case my submission makes it. It's about how at 13, being at the mall allowed me to see my science teacher in a new light. And I tell ya, it was hard to shake. Can't wait to see the film, whether it's a week early or opening day.

    seriously...

    by don_logan

    what the fuck is wrong with you people? REALLY? yeah, "seth rogen is a talentless asshole". idiots. likely, between spank sessions in the 'rents basement, i'm sure you've found time to laugh at most, if not all, of this guy's stuff. yes, he's funny. and, for christ's sake, some idiot in another talkback likened him to dane fuckin' cook. you guys (and i use that term quite loosely, considering you're likely changing your bloody plugs at this very moment) need to get a goddamned life, and quit bitching specifically for the sake of bitching...bitches.

    generally, i love your posts, and you inspired me to actually register, so i'll let that go, especially considering (admittedly) i have no fucking clue what it means. honestly, up until two weeks ago, i truly assumed you were a local friend of mine until he told me his alias on here.
