Live in Indianapolis? Capone fulfills his duties as Midwest Editor, with details on an early screening of THE FOURTH KIND!!!
Hey everyone. Capone in Chicago here. I don't know if you've ever noticed, but according to the AICN masthead my actual title is Midwest/Chicago Editor, and while I think I do a pretty decent job taking care of my city, I've left the Midwest to suffer without any AICN. We have some faithful readers up in Minnesota that take charge of the occasional screening, but now it's time for me to dip my big toe a few hundred miles south of Chicago into a little down in Indiana called Indianapolis. And if this experiment goes well, I think we'll be able to do more in the coming months, and maybe if the timing works out, I might be able to make the journey down there and visit with our Indy readers myself.
To start out with, we're going to give out 25 admit-two passes (or 50 seats) for a screening of THE FOURTH KIND, starring Milla Jovovich as Dr. Abigail Tyler, an Alaskan psychologist whose sessions turn into a mystery that may involve UFO abductions. The film is screening Tuesday, November 3 at 7:00pm at the AMC Castleton Square, 6020 E 82nd Street in Indianapolis.
As I've said, I've got 50 seats set aside for AICN readers, so here's how to claim your ticket good for you and a guest. Send me an email at capone@aintitcoolmail.com with the subject line "4TH KIND CONTEST". 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's your favorite alien abduction movie?" Simple enough, right?
Winners will receive an email from me by the weekend, and I'll post the winners' names on the site soon. Good luck, everyone! Let me know how things go.

So, it's not a documentary?
-
So there's maybe 3 notable movies with actual plot that involves Abduction? 2 of them being extremely disturbing and not amusing to watch with the light's off and the third which is more geared as a Family film.. Good luck folks!
-
Still? really?..nothing??
-
She's always worth a free ticket. And this theater is right down the street from me. Hell yeah, Capone!
-
Because it looks like feel-good bullshit.
-
see that new movie with the huge black kid and Sandra Bullock, I bet you'd love it.
-
...last night, and I can safely say the residents of Nome, Alaska weren't freaking out over Alien Abductions during their hynosis sessions. No, they were freaking out over thirteen dollar gallons of milk.

Needs bigger titties.

The movie was awful, I was going to send a review into AICN but thought since I seen it in Austin someone would have gotten to it first. It has pretty much very little story and the plot is based arounding using "real footage", that is obviously fake ala blair witch or paranormal activity. These scenes are constantly place side by side with footage of the actors doing the exact same thing... yes, it's as annoying as it sounds. Even when Milla listens to her voice recorder of herself, it's another actress's voice. I could be wrong on the "real" footage being fake but I highly doubt it. Even still it sucks, it is very well directed in some ways and I am convicned there is a good movie to be edited in there somewhere. it was one of those awkward leaving of the theatre after it was over. A collective, WTF ... Oh yea... Spoiler alert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't expect to get a view of an alien!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But I have an unfair bias...I think that alien abduction (as well as Aliens visiting Earth) is total bullshit. And I also generally tend to hate almost anything that makes a point of pointing out that it's inspired by a true story. Combine the two, and all I see is bullshit smeared all across the screen. If you're gonna do Aliens, at least don't try to pass it off as a "true story". And if you're gonna try to sell me on a movie because it's based on a true story, then you fail. Base a movie on a true story if you want, but don't try to sell me on the fact that "yo, this shit is REAL", because that's a stupid-ass gimmick. Anyway, this movie looks dumb. And it has Milla Jovovich in it, so it's probably gonna suck. Plus, even the trailers looked boring and shitty. If you can't even pick and choose two minutes of good footage that look remotely interesting, then fuck off. But on the other hand, I never saw the movie. So maybe it is totally awesome. I also don't want to shit on the offer of free stuff. I realize that the good people here are doing us a service by offering up these kinds of offers, and it's not my intention to shit on that. Hey, I may not have the least bit of desire to ever watch this, but some people may. So...sorry if I "rained on anyone's parade". But yeah...this movie looks like awful fucking garbage. But thanks anyway!

I want to eat sushi and baby back ribs off that thing.

...and I think I have a pretty good interpretation of these dreams, but if anyone here has a better idea, let me know. In them I'm always in some manner of conveyance, like a bicycle, car, boat, etc. I look up, while traveling in said, and there's this big Christmas tree-like Close Encounters upside-down city-lookin' UFO - no mistaking what it is, and I'm filled with this sense of dread because now that I've seen such unmistakable evidence, I am burdened with the knowledge that there are aliens from anoter - planet? dimension? time? reality? - among us. Dream ends. I'm positive that this post will either be ignored or a butt of jokes, but there it is, anyway. Oh, and I want to see the movie. And have sex with Milla Jovavich. She banged Luc Besson, so I figure I have a chance. http://l.yimg.com/eb/ymv/us/img/hv/photo/movie_pix/cannes/cannes_2003_photos/_group_photos/luc_besson90.jpg

The TIMING of this movie is off: Audience groaned....
by gibsonusa returns
...because this is following the arguably disappointing Paranormal Activity...so my audience seeing the trailer it was like "UggGGh, ANOTHER one??"...
-
Being stuck in Indianapolis myself, I never thought I'd see an AICN event for us here. Seriously, my life just got a little more tolerable.
-
Hopefully you think of us in the future too :)
-
They tried so desperately to blur the lines between reality and pure fiction, to the point where they were sabotaging wikipedia pages.
It's fiction. There's no such person as Abigail Taylor. -
But my fav abduction movie is Mothman Prophecies. If you think about it, it really does feature abductions of a sort. Post Mortem tho it be.
-
this is bollocks. alien abductions are really supressed memories.
-
invictus. maybe aicn feels there is very little interest in rugby in the us or something. afraid of a backlash in case any of the talkbacker says something about mandela.? something which may cause offence. and maybe get this site shut down.
-
Movie looks like crap, but what else is there to do in Indy on a weeknight?
-
I saw this last night and it was great. Lot's of subtext in this flick that will go over most peoples heads. Well, at least the dumbasses who can't understand a plot that does not involve non-stop action and transforming robots.(most of the people on here)
-
... how dare you try to lump anyone who doesn't like this film as dumbasses. I watched it at the Austin Film Festival and the audience was full of producers and writers, all of whom hated it. As I have said, there's a good film in there but it's just a big, transparent gimmick. The narrative is awful, at one point we have Milla searching her room for evidence of abduction, very interesting scene... BUT... at the same time we have "the real abagail on the left side of the screen talking about how she had to search the room for evidence of an abduction"... wow, we dumbasses would never understand that on our own? you shit on people for not liking this film as dumasses but the movie itself treats it's audience members as gullible retards and imbeciles whom can't figure out how to follow a movie on our own.

Looks crap. PA was a dreadful waste of time. Invictus trailer was dumbfounding. Let's back up a bit and examine this premise. SPOILER! The true story of how the South African national rugby team won the 1995 World Cup, held in their own county, uniting a fledgling nation just stretching its wings after casting off the yoke of a racist supremacy etc and other mixed metaphors. It WAS great in actuality - I was at the tournament, watching Scotland get their arses handed to them by the heavily favoured New Zealand - who, allegedly, came down with food poisoning the night before the final. Maybe someone (southafricanguy?) can fill in the blanks there. Solid true story, in any case - even if rugby remained a largely white sport there (I think there was one black man in the team, a winger called Chester Williams?) - but surely the whole thing is of limited appeal Stateside or even internationally, I would have thought. And it's mind-boggling casting - no, not Morgan as Mandela...but Matt Damon as Francois Pienaar, the team captain, a 6 ft 3 beast of a forward. Matt Damon, trying to outdo Leo's Rhodesian accent. And with noted rugby connoisseur and student of apartheid Clint Eastwood at the helm, how can it fail to run This Is It a close second for multiple Oscar noms? Sorry for the cynicism, but...I was trying to imagine a worse example of casting in reverse for an American sports/civil rights story...say, a blacked up Jude Law as Jackie Robinson.

Milla Jovavich has never made a non-retarded movie
by menstrual_bloodfart
... so why should she start now?
(And yes, I don't count "cameo" movies like Dazed and Confused, so cram it sideways...) -
Not a fucking chance, AICN. Not a fucking chance.
-
Super hot, but can't pick a script to save their lives. Milla gets points for Dazed and Kate for Aviator, but otherwise neither can make a good movie.
-
Well, a lot moreso that ghosts and other horror shit that I usually just laugh at. Those Unsolved Mysteries episodes that dealt with UFO's and alien abductions scared the fuck out of me as a kid and would give me bad dreams all night. This movie probably isn't any good though. I still need to get around to seeing Fire in the Sky.
-
You showed such potential in The Fifth Element....
and then you met Paul W S Anderson...
the rest is history. -
AICN comes to Nap Town. Word
-
not exactly mayberry.
-
But based on some of the comments here, could just be more of the same ol' same ol'.
-
Yes, over half the All Black Team came down with food poisoning the night before the final. The NZ coach, Laurie Mains, and a fair percent of Kiwi's, remain convinced this was a conspiracy by the South African Rugby Union to fuck them up before the final. There were guys still vomiting just hours before kick-off. Is it true? Who knows. Us Kiwi's have known for decades that South Africans can be dirty bastards on the field, but play it straight off the field. It will be interesting to see if the All Blacks are made out to be the bad guys for the sake of the movie. WE weren't the country emerging from years of Apartheid.

"Indiana?"
Yeah that's right, it's in a little stretch of the country between the East Coast and the West Coast called America.
"Don't you guys have a football team there or something, with that..Paddyton guy, or something?"
Yeah the Indianapolis Colts, they won the fucking Super Bowl in 2006. Peyton Manning is the guys name you thinking of, he's not much just the best fucking Quarterback to ever play the game.
"Oh yeah. There's a race there too from what I hear?"
That would be the Indianapolis 500. Usually draws a crowd of 400,000 people. Been going on since 1911.
"Mmm Hmm, that's pretty neat that you guys can have a race with all that fucking corn in the drivers way."
Eat shit and die Coastey! -
Check out this blog. Apparently it's for a new film. Trying to get some hype maybe? http://blaisewylde.blogspot.com/

...but unfortunately can't go to this due to my kid having a sporting event. Damn kids! Please do more stuff in Indy Capone!
