Love AICN? Want To Give Something Back? Awesome Suggestion Here!

Hey folks, Harry here... If I may suggest an awesome demonstration of your love for AICN - I suggest sending us one of these: CLICK HERE!!!

I'm kidding, I think, but God Damn That's Fucking Cool!!!

The upcoming remake of DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL has had me thinking a lot about the remake possibilities of that film - and I've pretty much decided there is nothing that could be done better. Not a moment, not an effect, not a bit of music, not a performance.... and I'm just dreading it. GORT rules - somebody out there will win the Ebay auction for this GORT - and will be happier than me. Sniffle. Somebody needs to make these things at a reasonable price. It'd rule so hard to have one with an active disassembling ray of badassness - monitoring one's front lawn. Pesky noisy neighbor kids? Unauthorized pet depositors? Electric Meter Readers? A problem of the past. But I think we would allow the Girl Scouts pimping their cookies. Gort respects that.
