Nordling here.
I see EX MACHINA tomorrow, and I'm excited. I think that as far as science fiction cinema goes, we're living in a banner time. Plus we'll get to see fellow STAR WARS alums Domhnall Gleeson and Oscar Isaac on screen. Plus, robots, and sex (maybe), and intrigue, and Alex Garland's directorial debut... it's going to be quite something, or so I'm told. Critics are calling it one of the best sci-fi films in years.
And if you live in Houston, you can see it for yourself Thursday night! I'm giving away tickets to the screening, on 4/16 at the Alamo Drafthouse Vintage Park at 8:00 PM. If you're interested in going, you can do one of two things - one easy and one that requires a little work.
If you want to punk out and go the easy route, you can click on this Gofobo link: http://www.gofobo.com/EXMACHINACOOL and get tickets that way. The screening is overbooked to insure capacity, and seats are not guaranteed, so if you want to see it, get there early.
Or... you can get a guaranteed seat if you write to aicnhoustonscreenings@gmail.com with the tag AICN EX MACHINA! and write about your favorite movie robot. No less than 100 words. If I like it, you (and a +1 if you're so inclined) will get guaranteed seats to Thursday's screening. Yeah, it's a little extra, but you won't have to fight the rest of the crowds to make sure you go. I'll contact winners by email. Deadline is Wednesday morning, 9:00 AM.
So give it a try, Houston! See you Thursday.
Nordling, out.
