Capone Has the Winners' Names for the Indianapolis screening of THE FOURTH KIND!!!
Hey everyone. Capone in Chicago here, with the list of winners for tickets to see the Indianapolis screening of THE FOURTH KIND on Tuesday, November 3 at 7:00pm.
I just want to say that based on the strong response from the folks in Indy, and the number of clearly dedicated film nuts based on the entries, we're going to try and set more of these up for those of you in Indiana. It's not entirely up to me, but the publicists who approached me about this screening gave me a good indication that there could be more to come with hopefully a larger number of seats the next time around. Fingers crossed.
Those who entered and won will receive an email from me shortly with the details on the time and place of the screening. If you entered this contest and your name is on the list, but you did not receive an email, let me know and I'll get you the details.
This is not an exclusive AICN screening, and is slightly overbooked to make sure we have a full house, so if you want a good seat, get there early.
Here are the lucky winners…
Ryan Allen (+1)
Chris Baker (+1)
Joe Bertrand (+1)
Colt Cannon
Jeffrey Chalkley (+1)
Steve Clapper (+1)
James Cole (+1)
Christopher Duell (+1)
Isaac J. Gentry (+1)
Mark Hanson (+1)
Andrew Heitz (+1)
Shawn D. Hilton (+1)
Jake Leeman (+1)
Joel Mengel (+1)
Eric Musall (+1)

I didn't know you were doing one for Indy. Shit!

Suckers.

Come on guys? Alien Abduction? If they posses the technology for interstellar travel, then they posses the technology to grow their own humans in their uber science labs. No need to travel here to abduct some rural country bumpkin high on meth.

Nothing like Wal-Mart-it-cool News coming in to drown out the little guy. :)
J/k, but if you're in Indy check out The Film Yap. We have passes to the same screening. -
When films go for the "based on a true story" approach. I spend half the film thinking "bullshit" instead of enjoying it for the made up nonsense it really is.

This movie will be bullshit but alien abductions and contact ARE
by thewirebitches
I'm a believer. Too many sightings, too many experiences for the phenomenon not to be just something people make up, even though I'm sure not everyone who says they saw something actually did. But there are those out there that did see something and have no explanation for what it was and their not crazy.

Why the fuck can't a good story with solid characters just hold it together? Why play all the "spooktastic buzz" bullshit and say that the disappearances of some Nome Alaska citizens was because of alien abduction (which may or may not be actual phenomena) and to go so far as to have Milla Jovovich (who I admire and respect) tell a point blank lie about the person she portrays in the movie who DOESN'T EVEN FUCKING EXIST?! Just tell us a good narrative and leave the assfuck gimmicks to the hacks. I'm surprised we didn't have to "DEMAND IT!" to see this one. Yeah, I'll give it a look, but it just sucks that they have to try and pull a Blair Witch on us when we clearly know better. Unless of course I speak too soon...
FUCK. -
Granted, I'm certainly not cynical enough to think that everyone who makes these claims is merely making things up. But I think that once the idea gets a certain degree of acceptance, people just have a tendency to run with it. It used to be withces or demons. In some places, even today, it's claims of women making guys' dicks smaller. And all over the place, I think you have a mix of things going on. Some people (probably not the majority) simply making things up because they can. While I'd wager that the majority actually saw SOMETHING, or at the very least truly THOUGHT they saw something. But in the end, what it still boils down to is mere witness testimony. Which is something that I have very very little faith in. It's actually VERY easy to get someone to truly and genuinely REMEMBER something that never actually happened. You live in a culture in which alien abductions/sightings are big news, then anything unexplained simply lends itself to that hypothesis. This is why the term "UFO" has somehow become synonymous with "Alien spacecraft". The notion that if we can't explain what we just saw, it HAS to be aliens. And once that starts happening, it just increases my skepticism. If anyone sees anything weird in the sky, the topic of aliens is going to come up. And at best, the person who mentions aliens is only going to be half-way joking. We simply live in a time where there's a large cultural belief in this kind of stuff, even if many people still feel embarassed to admit it. And at that point, witness testimony becomes untrustworthy. Because you never know if people REALLY saw what they say they say. Or if what they REALLY saw was really what was there. Or if they only halfway saw something, and are unintentionally using culturally accepted details to fill in the gaps. And yeah. It also makes it harder to separate from the people who are merely making shit up, just like those two hicks who recently tried to get famous by stuffing a Bigfoot costume full of raccoon guts. This alien phenomenon has simply become so big that that's largely WHY I can't trust eyewitness testimony, even if the witnesses are 100% sincere. Now, that's not to say hat there isn't some REALLY weird shit that is very well documented, and witnessed simultaneously by LOTS of people. As an example, that huge arc of lights that was photographed over Arizona, and was seen by a shitload of people. What was that? I don't fucking know. That's some strange shit right there. But I think it's wrong to think that that kind of thing is due to aliens, simply because it's hard to explain. In any case, this is one of the problems I have with Alien or Ghost stories that claim that they are based on true events. Make an Alien or a Ghost story, and just make it as it is. If it's good, I'll accept it as a good work of fiction. And if it's bad, I'll accept it as a bad work of fiction. But as soon as you take a movie like this and start trying to pass it off as real, it just makes my bullshit meter go off, and turns me off from the whole thing. If The Fourth Kind is any good, then they ought to leave out the whole "this shit is REAL" gimmick, and just market it as a good fucking movie. Anyway, my BIGGEST reason why I am highly skeptical about alien encounters is the light speed barrier. That's not technological limitations, everything points to that being a fundamental property of physics that is present EVERYWHERE in the universe. And while it is possible that there MAY be a small POSSIBILITY of getting around this to some extent, that's still EXTREMELY far fetched in practice. Every proposal I've seen for getting around this barrier has not only been purely theoretical and not known to even be POSSIBLE, but is also highly impractible. Requiring ENORMOUS quantities of energy to even MAYBE someday be POSSIBLE of working. And I call bullshit. If aliens actually did have the technological ability to even get here, they'd make the fucking most of what has to be a HUGE investment of resources. The idea that they'd be doing that just to come here and hover over the sky just to dumbfound a bunch of people makes me call bullshit.

Indy screening? Dammit! I was busy dressing up as Oprah Winfreddy Krueger. Well, Happy Halloween, everyone.

The footage shown is obviously fake, I saw the movie last week when I was visiting Austin. The whole theatre hated it, there's very little story and the plot just tries to win the audience over with showing obnoxious "real footage" while showing actors at the same time. It's not only transparent but really hurts the narrative. Everytime we have Milla talking, we have another actress on the right saying the same things... terible, awful movie.

hmmm, can I point out the obvious? There are more competition news than there is movie news. "How can you enter this?" "How can you enter that?" "Look who the winners are!!" pfffffftt!! GET A ROOM! Or better yet, make a sub page devoted to these contant bombarding comp fests that have nothing to do with the other 95% of Aint it cool viewers. They are great & all for the small communities within the areas of smallville, but geezzz, who wants to click on a site that is filled with so much spam? (probably me, my compulsary viewing of this site prohibits me from looking elsewhere, as per the koala code of conduct). Lets cheer for those who won this non-the-less... HIP HIP!! .......?
