Live in Chicago? Want to see an early screening of SHE'S OUT OF MY LEAGUE with cast members on hand? Capone has the details!!!
Hey everyone. Capone in Chicago here.
The screening parade continues next week. After taking Tuesday off, we're right back to it on Wednesday with a movie whose title did not inspire much confidence in me. But when I saw the trailer for SHE'S OUT OF MY LEAGUE, I felt much better about saying yes to filling a 200-seat theater with AICN readers. Yes, the film is a romantic sex comedy, but it's apparently of the hard-R variety, plus I've got a little incentive for you. Three of the stars of the film--Jay Baruchel (KNOCKED UP; TROPIC THUNDER), Mike Vogel (CLOVERFIELD), and Nate Torrence (GET SMART)--will be on hand to introduce this AICN screening of SHE'S OUT OF MY LEAGUE, taking place on Wednesday, February 24, 2010 at 6:30 pm (please note the early start time) at a theater in downtown 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 therealcapone@aintitcoolmail.com with the subject line "DATE THE MOODLE!!!" 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 is your favorite R-rated sex comedy with a heart of gold?" Keep your responses BRIEF--limit your answers to 75 words or less (no matter how tempted you are to go over the limit). People with the best questions win. Winners will receive an email from me later this week.
Although this is an exclusive AICN event, it will be slightly overbooked to make sure there is a full house for our guests. If you cannot arrive at this screening early, please do not enter. If there's even the slightest chance you'll have to back out of attending if you do win, don't enter. If you have a job that might make you late or unable to attend, or an ill/pregnant relative, or a temperamental significant other, or a scratchy throat, do not enter.
Good luck, everyone!

No not really. Had the oppertunity to catch this earlier this week and couldn't be assed. I'm not really looking forward to having Jay Baruchel shoved down my throat for the rest of the year. Though I don't find him as annoying as Apatow's from the years past.

Story of my life...They've ALL been outta my league.

Will AICN PLLLLEASE get Ozy and do another MIAMI screening?
-
Nice shout out in the story about Ebert. At first I was like UGH they just sit in their little special theater and screen films. But after catching Shitty Island last night in a packed house, I wish I had my own private theater. But at the same time you miss out on a giant audience laughing at the movie.
-
So, Shutter Island sucks badly?Anymore details?
-
The District 9 screening was a success...more would be appreciated.
-
we can no longer expect spoiler stories or unreleased pics of characters/sets/props... all we have now is chicago screenings, lost tbs, and a column on an outdated medium (comics)... man i miss the days of the late 90s/ early 00s
-
I don't think we've had a single news item about the movies this week other than the Riddick story. I'm just in complete, disappointed shock. It would have been great to discuss the possibility of a Taxi Driver remake with Lars Von Trier, before the story was shot down two days later.

Why is everything on here lately about Chicago. I'm sure it's a great town and hell, Kolchak lived there, but shit can we get some broader news? What the hell is up with this site as of late?
-
Seriously, the whole main page is full of contest announcements.
Is there no information about movies to share, with us? ...And by information, I mean upcoming projects, inside current productions, actor / director interviews... not just screening announcements and contest winners.
That stuff is all fine and good; but where's the "Cool News"?

If you navigate to the AICN main page, on your browser, there are 11 item links visible. Five of them are for ticket contests and one of them is basically an ad for DVD's (the HercVault, which I admit I kind of like; but it's still just a price and purchase guide).
So, more than half, of the most current posts, on the site are not really news at all. It's sad because I used to count, on getting information, from AICN; but these days I find I have to look elsewhere (eg. Firstshowing.net) to find things out. The TB's are usually a lot more spirited, on AICN, but we need more of the "CN" to maintain the activity, on the boards. -

When I said, "If you navigate to the AICN main page, on your browser, there are 11 item links visible. Five of them are for ticket contests and one of them is basically an ad for DVD's..."
I was talking about the first 11 posts you see, without scrolling down the page.
It could be a slow time of year; but FirstShowing seems to find informative things to post regularly if not daily. The knock on that site is the talkback traffic is slow and at times uninteresting; but occasionally it's almost as energetic as the AICN boards. I'm not "boycotting" AICN or anything silly like that; but I am finding that I am less and less likely to check in here, because there seems to be so little happening. I hope things turn around soon. -
I mean people laughed almost as much at the screening of Shutter Island then they did during The Hangover. I reviewed it here: http://tinyurl.com/yhp65ey
and here: http://tinyurl.com/ya48usk If you care to read. Pretty much its A Beautiful Mind set in an Insane Asylum, but not as scary or thrilling. -
It will be the greatest quality variance from Trailer to Actual Movie ever. The trailer was excruciating...OH, and Sharktopus sounds like the best movie mentioned on AICN in weeks...thanks D.Vader for injecting some quality in here..
-
L.A. is phony, NYC is too high and mighty. We here in Chi-town split that difference, so don't be hatin'. =P
-
Now if only AICN would give us a Talkback for it in which to play in! Google that insanity. Some of the artwork pple have come up with for the project is amazing.

God amongst low-budget filmmakers!
-
Roger Corman directing..awesome! I much prefer bad films that know they're bad and revel in being awesomely bad, but fun entertainment..as opposed to films like "She's out of my League" or the future reboot/remake/reimagining/recrappified "American Pie" 4 that will be just flat out horrible, not on purpose. Sure, I'm assuming, but anyone really think those movies are going to rock?
