Live in Chicago? Wanna see FIFTY DEAD MEN WALKING, with star Jim Sturgess post-screening Q&A? Capone has the details!!!
Hey everyone. Capone in Chicago here.
So I got an email the other day from someone representing the upcoming film FIFTY DEAD MEN WALKING, which tells the true story of Martin McGartland, who was recruited by the British police in the 1980s to infiltrate and spy on the IRA. The film's star Jim Sturgess (ACROSS THE UNIVERSE; 21; THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL) was coming to town for a press day and a post-screening Q&A, and the rep wanted to know if I was interested in moderating. My first response was that I would do it only if I could invite a few readers along for the ride, because there is nothing more comforting than knowing that a certain percentage of any Q&A audience will have decent questions for any guest when the movie is done. They were kind enough to give me 50 seats (roughly working out to 25 winners, with one guest each), and here's how you win a pair.
This screening of FIFTY DEAD MEN WALKING with post-screening Q&A with lead actor Jim Sturgess takes place Thursday, August 20 at 7:00pm at a theater in Chicago (the exact location will only be given to contest winners).
Here's how to secure a pass good for you and one guest: Send me an email at capone@aintitcoolmail.com with the subject line "FIFTY SEATS WAITING". In the body of the email, I need your Name, whether or not you're bringing a Guest (guests' names are not required), and the answer to the following question (read carefully): What question would you like to ask Jim Sturgess if you got the chance?
Keep your question BRIEF--limit your answers to 50 words or less (no matter how tempted you are to go over the limit). Winners will receive an email from me later this weekend.
Please keep in mind that if you win, you will still need to arrive early to the screening. This is NOT and exclusive AICN event, although I don't think it's substantially overbooked. Still, when a guest is part of the equation, you can pretty much count on people showing up and every seat being taken, and I don't want any of you to get shut out. And for God's sakes, if there's even the slightest chance you'll have to back out of attending if you do win, don't enter. You'd be amazed how many last-minute emergencies (or other lame excuses) crop up in the 12 hours before every screening. If you have a job that might make you late, or an ill/pregnant relative, or a temperamental significant other, do not enter. I'm trying to pack our 50 seats with actual Jim Sturgess fans and not just people that want to see a free movie.
Good luck, everyone! Hope to see you there.

Papillon, Outlaw Josey Wales, Every Which Way But Loose, Any Which Way You Can, and more 80s tv appearances than you can shake a stick at. Get on it before the Black Widows come for you. Hit it LordofHell.

Good, but not great. Kind of reminded me of The Departed. An excellent ambulance chase scene through Belfast towards the end and a great performance from Sturgess, but Ben Kingsley phones it in. Worth seeing for Rose McGowan's horrible take on the Norn Iron accent!

Nice. -
...And I better get fifty times as much concessions, too. Jujubes for everyone...even those chatty motherfuckers in the back.
-
Can't understand any of those Irish fucks..this movie is covered in more "weak sauce" than a Tony Danza Christmas.
-
That was shit. What a horribly pathetic attempt at being funny.
Couldn't understand the accents? What are you retarded?
The movie is great. You're a moron. -
she has either died or quit, cuz after an extended hiatus, there is some dude without any tits at all doing her vid this week

Man, if the haters cringe at her Entertainment Tonight/Insider sing-songy delivery, wait till they get a load of this Cagan guy! Oh, and as usual, here's CCTV footage from the Quorum of the Twelve Scriptgirl Haters: http://tinyurl.com/SGHaters Go at it, slack-jawed mouth breathers!

... even Rose McGowan (apart from the accent) was OK.
