Live in Chicago? Want to be the first to see PAPER HEART with a Q&A with two of its stars? Capone has the details!!!
Hey everyone. Capone in Chicago here.
With a few exceptions (*cough* THE PROPOSAL *cough*), this summer has been a pretty remarkable one for films about the often-complicated nature of relationships with such films as AWAY WE GO, HUMPDAY, THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE, as well as the upcoming (500) DAYS OF SUMMER, FUNNY PEOPLE, and, hell, I’ll even throw in BRÜNO (hey, his relationship with his assistant gets pretty sticky at times). But few relationship films are as wonderfully odd and worthy of adoration as a little indie called PAPER HEART, co-written and co-starring Charlyne Yi (who you might remember as Martin Starr’s silly stoner girlfriend in KNOCKED UP) and Jake Johnson, and featuring interviews and appearances by the likes of Michael Cera, Seth Rogen, and many other comic actors who float in and out of Charlyne’s life. Not surprisingly, the film has gotten many accolades on the festival circuit since premiering at Sundance. The film is part documentary, part not documentary (that’s the best way I can explain it), but Charlyne blurs the line between real and sort of, kind of real with this truly original work. So how do you get tickets to this movie that you will inevitably love (come on, I haven’t steered you wrong yet)?
The exclusive Ain’t It Cool Chicago screening of PAPER HEART will take place Thursday, July 16 at 7:00pm at a theater in Chicago. After the film, Charlyne Yi and Jake Johnson (who plays the director of the documentary about relationships Charlyne is making in the movie) will be on hand for a Q&A with our always-enthusiastic audience. Hey look, a trailer:
We've got about 200 seats to fill, so here's how to secure a pass good for you and one guest to PAPER HEART. 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 "I DON’T BELIEVE IN LOVE". In the body of the email, I need your full name, whether or not you are bringing a guest (guests' names are not required), and, the answer to this question: "What is the most valuable lesson about relationships you learned from a movie?” So I need the lesson learned and the movie title. Keep your answer to UNDER 75 WORDS, no matter how great the temptation is to go longer. I can’t wait to read these.
Winners will receive an email from me, probably over the weekend, and have your names posted on the site, so send in your entries soon. Winners must bring an ID to the screening to get in--no exceptions. Good luck, everyone!

I mean, it's brilliant. I heard they passed on the following names: PAINT DRYING; PAPER CLIP; SPELLCHECK YOUR REPORT; DATA REVIEW; MANAGEMENT REPORT; STAFF MEETING; THE LAWRENCE WELK SHOW; 12x12' CUBICLE; CALL WAITING; NAP TIME; TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE; FLOSS AND RINSE; SAGGY SHORTS; THE WEEK IN REVIEW; BUCKLEY ON BEHOVEEN; SOMINEX; BAGGY EYES; WAR AND PEACE-A DISCUSSION; 2 HOURS OF ACTORS RAMBLING FOR NO FUCKING REASON AT ALL OTHER THAN TO MAKE A SHITTY FILM ABOUT HOW HIP THEY ARE; THE ART OF TOENAIL CLIPPING; MAGAZINE IN A DOCTORS OFFICE; SLOWER THAN GOLF; MORE TEDIOUS THAN SOCCER. I could go on, but, as you can see, they really hit this one out of the ballpark when choosing a hip, irrelevant name. Fuck, I better go put on a stocking cap even though its 90 degrees here. Let Hipness reign!
