Here they are...

Didn't see your name? Sorry about that. There were a ton of people that didn't get in either. There will be a standby line just in case there are any empty seats - but given the furor that the emails came in, I think people are especially jonesed about seeing this. They should be. It's fucking fantastic. See y'all there!!!

+ Expand All

You folks are going to love it!
-
Sounds like shit
-
Are the screenings in other cities still happening as well?
-
me and my buddy are in!!! I CAN NOT WAIT!!!!
-
Guess I'm seeing GI Joe on Friday.
-
Have a great screening and I'll see you at Cinemapocolypse.
-
I'm on the list! Go me!
-
Any word on a screening in San Francisco? No posting yet of "It ain't gonna happen", so fingers crossed...
-
Somehow did not make the cut, even though I sent my email 15 minutes before giving the heads up to some friends that DID get in. Balls!!!
-
I'll still see this movie for free anyway. If you buy 5 "Kozy Shack" pudding cups, you get one free movie ticket.
-
Star in San Diego :)
It is awesome! Enjoy it everyone watching it at the Drafthouse!! -
When do we get to beg for the NYC screening?
-
I'll pretend, I'm there with lucky winners. Shit! Like I won't see it by year's end. enjoy th show you fucking lucky bastards!
-
has its advantages. Can't wait for this.
-
Will they be signin' autographs, like Louis Letterier & Tim Roth at The Incredible Hulk last year, or just doin' Q & A like last week's Paper Heart screenin'? Just curious...
-
But I didn't get in. Oh well, I'll see it in a few weeks. Have fun!
-
I will be there with bells on...but not literally.
-
Duplicate names on list? #93,94 and #110,111
-
I will be there with actual, literal bells on.
-
is to remove them, and then add the names from my presumably ignored email. EASY!!!
-
What kind of time paradox allowed people who sent in emails after you did to get and exclude you? I've always kinda thought that Harry's pretty arbitrary about who he puts on these lists. You seem to be confirming my suspicions. Thoughts, anyone?
-
I have a friend that made it in, and other friends that mailed in before him, that aren't on the list. What's up? Do people who've made it into previous events get passed over so others can have a chance?
-
THINGS TO KNOW FOR THE FUTURE
-
Oh well. Congratulations to all who got in!
-
has friends woohoo
Enjoy the show winners! congrats! -
Whats the prognosis of Bay Area folks ever getting to see that SF viewing you were promising?
-
Good question! Perhaps it was skipped over due to the fact that the body of my email had "Hi Harry, please include X and Y. Thanks!" instead of only the two names. Oh well, still fucking pumped to see it when it opens!
-
I'm pretty excited as well! Long before anyone saw the movie and the buzz went through the roof I was on board with the film. Anywho, glad to see I'm not alone in my suspicions about these lists being weirdly put together. Let's corner Harry (shouldn't be too hard) and get the truth!
-
Jay? Is that you?
-
...as Johnny6Ass. Two friends emailed in, and the one who mailed first didn't get in.
-
I need to see this!
-
..uses one of those old metal cylinders they use to pick lottery winners from. I don't think it's about who sends an email first.
-
Anybody need a guest to tag along count me in.

Keith Hernandez!?!??? did he bring the second spitter?!?
by supercowbell5thecowbellhasspoken
Roger McDowell!?
-
can we scalp our seat?
-
All you have to do to win the AICN contest is go to the movie theater closest to you with "District 9" listed as having a midnight show, pay them for a ticket, and you WIN!!!!
-
...was amazing. This is the summer dark horse.
-
Now to find a way to get there with no car. Someone willing to pick a stranger up?
-
Too fucking bad for them. He could have taught those +1ers a thing or two.
-
First post ever! I can't believe that I got the typo spots on the ATX screening! WOO HOO!!!
-
You know, the place without which THERE WOULD BE NO FILM?
-
on the NYC screening?will i have to see it with all the other pleebs?
-
It's more local for me. Thanks though.
-
Agreed! I will fly up to Jo'burg just for the screening if they decide to keep it were it was shot. Or they can just screen in on the mountain for all the Capetonians to enjoy.... Actually I'm flying to Jo'burg tomorrow. Come now gents, give us Saffas some more joy after we beat the Aussies at ruggas on Saturday. BOKKE!!!!
-
Nice to see another Capetonian on here, I was beginning to think I was the only one. My condolences about flying up to Joburg tomorrow. I'm flying up in September to visit family and the only thing keeping me going is the thought that maybe by that stage District 9 will actually have become a reality.
-
I thought people were getting in based on the first people to e-mail, but I sent it in pretty early and nothing. Anyone know what the cutoff time was?
-
....Harry, any chance we'll be getting a screening of this in NYC???
-
Why haven't we Bostonians got any love?
-
Ja, not a lot of us Saffas on here but like London we will take this site over one piece at a time! :D Luckily I'm only flying in to Jo'burg, then driving out of that place. Stayed there for 22 years, I have had enough. Cape Town is home now.
-
...as this movie is this years LOTR we needed to get some love... That 'blerrie' Peter Jackson is probably pissed we beat the Kiwi's again hence no screening.... I can't wait for this.

If you didn't have SF & LA lined up, you shouldn't have posted i
by azultool
What the fuck? No updates? No news?
-
And fuck Texas. Where are the SF & LA screenings???
-
The first half of this movie is not for you. I was at the Chicago screening. Great movie but the "documentery" hand held cam style at the begining almost made me sick.
-
and NO.
-
i have been warming up to this movie and shaky cam will ruin it.
when will these shit heads learn that it accomplishes nothing but pissing off the audience... -
How did I miss this? I've been too busy with work this week. :(
This is easily one of my most anticipated movies of the summer. It's GOING to be amazing. I can feel it. Can't wait to see it. oh, wait, but I have to... -
where are the details?
-
I live like 10 minutes from the Alamo Drafthouse. I frequently see Harry (in his wheelchair) and Yoko at the Best Buy on Research Blvd, and we'd often talk up a storm about gluclose levels and the dangers of liposuction. Yet he still ignored my email. Why Harry? WHY?
-
Shaky cam like CLOVERFIELD? Not even fucking close. Maybe if you're in the first three rows, but it never once was a factor. This movie is a masterpiece. I felt very much the same way I did after watching THE MATRIX for the first time. The game just got changed.
And what an astonishing performance by Sharlto Copely. If you're lucky enough to get Neill and Sharlto, the Q&A was very long and very informative. This is the best sci-fi film I've seen since SUNSHINE (burn me on that I'm sure) and maybe one of the best EVER. Fuck GI JOE and all the love that POS is getting. See a real movie. See this. -
It was a great movie, the tension building up and the ending, a masterpiece. GIwhat? See D9.
-
District 9 was by far the best Sci Fi movie I have seen in years. The bar has definitely been raised. Neill Blomkamp and Sharlto Copley were great sports.

AICN BURNED ME WITH G.I. JOE, I'M DOWNLOADING DISTRICT 9....
by carlthormark1978
We all know how chummy Harry and Peter are so I wont be putting a penny into this movie because AICN has proven with G.I. Joe that, once again, it can be bought as easily as a $2 whore.
-
Saw it last night at The Alamo...what a flick. No name stars, high calliber performances. The most original thing I've seen in awhile. If there's anything negative to be said, it's that there's just not enough! It leaves holes, but not in a negative way...just leaves you wanting more. Easily the most intersting and thought provoking sci-fi film in a good long while. Thanks for the screening Big Red.
-
That was such a great movie! Definitely worth the 5hr drive to Austin, loved the Q&A with the guys they were such good sports about everything, everybody has to see this movie! And if Neill doesn't get tapped for Halo after this RIOT IN THE STREETS PEOPLE!!!
-
If you're going to have a private screening, someone please write a damn review. We've now waited 3 days for something. This site is starting to get a reputation for being very slow. Just ask anyone who looked to this site for Comic Con coverage. Pick it up.
-
Wow dude, I'm sorry if you came here for that. This site is terrible with updates of that nature, and maybe updates period. I had aicn top on my film section in my browser, but now it's 4th behind HitFix, Latino Review and CHUD. Harry just doesn't care much about the people who got him where he is. He really only cares about where he's going and his "friends". I don't even know why they use the stupid nicknames anymore. Everyone knows who the hell they are. It's kinda stupid now.
