NOTE: Read this entire post and make sure the email you send has EVERYTHING I ask for in it, or it gets deleted.




Hey folks, Harry here...

This week, we'll be welcoming Director Breck Eisner to the Alamo Drafthouse South for a special AICN / FANTASTIC FEST screening of his remake of George Romero's often overlooked film, THE CRAZIES.

I don't know about you, but I really am fond of Romero's original. It was a terrifying concept. The film still works, is still scary and freaky. Breck's remake is exceptionally well done. First off, the film is beautifully shot. There's a sequence with a character strapped to a table that really really is one helluva scary, yet beautiful scene. The atmosphere is fantastic. You'll see. In addition, Timothy Olyphant and Radha Mitchell do a great job, in particular Timothy Olyphant continues to be impressive on camera. Still waiting for the film that launches him as a STAR.

SO - How do you get into this?

Send an email to HK at AintItCool.Com with the following EXACT subject line:

I'm Cuckoo For THE CRAZIES!!!

So, copy and paste that in your subject line, and then in the body of the email, please list the names you're submitting for the screening. Maximum of 2 entrants per email. Plus THE CRAZIEST thing you've ever done!, if you don't have the subject line right, it gets deleted. And if you don't include your craziest thing, it gets deleted. I'll be filling this screening with the craziest folks that didn't just crash into a building locally in their tax-evasion plane! But as crazy as you maybe - at least follow instructions.

The film is set for this Thursday, February 25th at the Alamo South.

See you there!

    I'll just say what I said in the other thread

    Don't ever remake Martin. That is possibly Romero's best movie, but I wouldn't be surprised if the suits plundered every old vampire movie they could find in the wake of the Twilight boom.

    Leave Knightriders alone too, while you're at it!

    by turd furgeson

    even if the movie is bad, he makes it the best it can be. Olyphant is GOLD!

    Naw, Timothy Olyphant is WOOD

    by seppukudkurosawa

    He just happens to have a knack for picking good roles. He only appeared half-decent in Deadwood because every single other person in that series was such a huge character.
