I am FIRST...to suggest that Fat Albert will open BNAT 6!!! by I Hate Movies	Oct 16th, 2004 01:07:13 AM

Here's an idea.... by Trik	Oct 16th, 2004 01:07:22 AM
Show the complete first 3 seasons of Enterprise. --- You just know that's what all the AICN'ers are really wantin!
40% reduction eh? by Vic_	Oct 16th, 2004 01:13:45 AM
Headed for gastric bypass surgery huh? Well, good luck on that, man. If you feel it's the only way to go to lose the weight, I wish you the best, although it's a major life long sacrifice there you're making. I hope you've considered all the alternatives fully and the risk involved.
Zebraman by Stanley Spector	Oct 16th, 2004 01:21:29 AM
is a very good bet. Perhaps Calvaire (The Ordeal), too, since Harry tends to throw in at least one movie concerned solely with torture. Rahtree: Flower of the Night is also a possibility, but I wouldn't hold my breath for it. What else... The Aviator... if Harry could get Scorsese to show up. The Libertine. Sucker Free City. Kung Fu Hustle. Hell, maybe he'll toss in the nine-hour Evolution of a Filipino Family just to fuck with people.
Harry is going to be........... by Battousai	Oct 16th, 2004 01:40:06 AM
The sexiest tomboy beanpole of all time!
Step 1) Liposuction. Step 2) Ain't-it-Cool Soap Company. by I Hate Movies	Oct 16th, 2004 02:23:19 AM
Now a question of Butt-numb-a-thon etiquette -- as I pass your seat do I give you the ass or the crotch?
Site revamp? Awwwww, I was traumatized enough when you guys cha by Tall_Boy	Oct 16th, 2004 02:39:09 AM
Just fix the talkback order, that's all I ask.

I'M GONNA START MY OWN BUTT-NUM-ATHON... by Fugazi32	Oct 16th, 2004 05:31:36 AM
...but without the movies. We just sit in chairs and stare and the floor for 24 hours! :D Anyone interested?
If I get in, can I sit next to FlmLvr this year? by Sarah	Oct 16th, 2004 05:51:35 AM
Beaks talks in his sleep.
Awwww, Harry by Skraggo	Oct 16th, 2004 06:04:15 AM
Harry, don't go a-changin'. You've got the girl. Part of what keeps 33 year old geeks who still live at home (like me) coming to this site is knowing that it's run by an overweight red-headed freak with bad facial hair --- who still lives at home, too. If you can get The Girl, it gives hope to losers like me. Also --- revamping the site??? Don't do it to me, buddy. I've been here since '97 when the site used to be a long single page of update links against an ID4 background. When you changed it the first time it sent me into fits. Geeks don't like change.
harry loves me. by Flmlvr	Oct 16th, 2004 06:08:11 AM

GEEK CHRISTMAS! by Nordling	Oct 16th, 2004 09:20:52 AM
It's that time of the year again! Yay! It's been a crap year, too.
finally a site update by vicious_bastard	Oct 16th, 2004 09:38:32 AM
Has this site ever changed? It looks the same to me as it did 6 years ago. How about a european BNAT? In fact those horse-munching, bureaucracy loving quasi-fascists can go and fuck themselves - just do it in the UK.
Can't wait to get to BNAT6! by 433	Oct 16th, 2004 10:11:00 AM
I haven't missed one yet! Er, well, except the first one, but revisionist history is all the rage! I can't wait to sleep at the Austin Motel, to eat at Threadgills, Amy's Ice Cream, and the Green Mesquite, to tour the Capitol, to hang with my friend Ginger on Sunday night at Casino el Camino and Beerland...
A REAL BUTT NUMB A THON by stlfilmwire	Oct 16th, 2004 01:21:06 PM
A real Butt Numb a Thon would be pay per view. That way, nobody has to get off their ass to attend.
Harry, are you just doing liposuction or gastric bypass? by 007-11	Oct 16th, 2004 01:43:28 PM
I hope they've gone over all the risks with you, not to mention some of the unfortunate side effects. In any event good luck with that.
Darn I couldn't go this year. by Archduke_Chocula	Oct 16th, 2004 04:23:30 PM
I got limited funds and flying down there and stuff I don't think now's the right time to go, BNAT VII yes though. Good luck with the weight reduction Harry and way to begin updating the site, good luck.
there's this movie, I Heart Huckabees, has anyone heard of it? by Lou C.	Oct 16th, 2004 04:33:02 PM
Good God. This whole Web site is filled with ads for it everywhere I look. I will now NOT see the movie because of this. Unless someone can promise me hot lesbian sex with Naomi Watts is in it.
If you can pass last year's line-up, I will be shocked. My guess by krims0nknite	Oct 17th, 2004 08:34:19 AM
Both shocked and awed. My guesses for movies: The Life Aquatic for sure. Maybe Constantine or Blade: Trinity or Elektra (but not more than 1 of the three), The Phantom of the Opera, Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, and maybe Meet The Fockers. And a bunch of indie stuff.
About time this ugly site got a re-vamp by bobby_horsepower	Oct 17th, 2004 02:29:37 PM
This is quite possibly one of the ugliest sites on the web. For a site that's visited by so so many, this is unacceptable. Please re-design this disgusting web layout. Kudos on the whole weight loss thing by the way, now all us talkbackers will have to retire our fat jokes.
Seriously, why NOT a BNAT: UK ? by RobinP	Oct 19th, 2004 11:56:30 AM
C'mon Harry, spend some quality time in a darkened theater with us Brits. Make it so, and the people will come.
site revamp by Lord Shatner	Oct 19th, 2004 01:56:41 PM
I know this site gets criticized for being ugly, but at least it's readable, unlike some sites with white thin type on a black background,,,I like the simple format of the talkbalks, as I have limited brain capacity and become confused with the branched talkbalks of other sites
if you're not going to redesign the Web site, at least get rid o by Lou C.	Oct 19th, 2004 03:29:47 PM
... how about cameron diaz's swirling ass instead? ... or is that so 3 years ago?
Harry, you should give out VERN'S NEW BOOK! by Vern	Oct 20th, 2004 04:19:16 AM
Hey Harry, it's me Vern. You know how I now have a book collecting 87 of my greatest movies reviews? Well what better thing to give out to your numb butts? What you should do, you go to http://www.lulu.com/outlawvern where the book 5 ON THE OUTSIDE: VERN'S WRITINGS ON THE FILMS OF CINEMA is available, and you should buy 240 of them. And then you should give them to everybody there. It would be great and they would learn alot and we'd all be happy. Also to be frankly honest it would be good for me, I could buy christmas presents this year. You know how people are about that shit. "can't believe you gave me a six pack for christmas" etc. Well think about it bud, p.s. if Mel Gibson shows up again ask him what's the deal with payback 2: the man with the getaway face. Starring somebody else. It would be a good idea. p.p.s If you want to give everybody TWO copies that's not a bad idea. That's 480 I believe. Or just round it up to 500 to be safe maybe. However you do these events, you know what you're doing. thanks harry
by CuervoJones	Oct 21st, 2004 07:51:19 AM
you can
hey harry! by satansteve	Oct 21st, 2004 07:33:01 PM
how about holding BNAT 7 in the uk? i know there are loads of us who'd love to go but cant get to the states to attend BNAT. please!
"1st public screening"=BS by SarumanTheChef	Oct 24th, 2004 12:55:52 AM
BNAT 5 was NOT the first public screening of Return of the King, if it was on the 6th(my bday incidentally). I bought public tickets for, and attended the first public screening to night before in Palm Springs, a KCET fundraiser event; Ian KcKellen spoke beforehand. These tickets were publicly, and easily available(just called them up, no connections or such), though pricey heh. So if the BNAT screening last year was on the 6th, it was SO not the first public screening :)
bnat lj community (finally found my password for here!) by smallerdemon	Oct 25th, 2004 03:38:22 PM
I'm sure I'll regret it, but... any BNAT attendees that are also LiveJournal users can join the bnatters community at http://www.livejournal.com/com munity/bnatters/ As an out of towner who has been to two BNATs, and who has absolutely no corporate affiliation with the film industry, I have to say that I greatly appreicate that Harry makes up the crowd of equal parts locals and out of towners. It really did not seem corporate at all at 5. Many of the films that were there have not found their way to US release dates yet. Haute Tension is still being held up, and OldBoy isn't hitting a US release until 2005 (and I can get that at the video store down the street). And Teen Mother... god, trust me, there's nothing corporate about that steaming pile of... Americana. The most coporate thing there, to me, was The Passion of the Christ, which was a real ho-hum for me personally.
How much? by HearseMagnet	Oct 26th, 2004 07:20:07 PM
How much do BNAT tix go for if you get the chance to buy them?
Rev. Alden...here here! by REMcycle	Oct 27th, 2004 12:31:24 AM
No joke about the Tarantino festival! That was great because A: It went for a few days if not a whole week, B: QT is much more fun to listen to than Harry, C: Everything he showed was old, quirky, and was influential somwhow to the way indies are done now and D: I didn't have to try to justify who I was just to attend. I stood in line and bought a ticket and that was it...no essay, no nothing. I remember seeing Motel Hell and The House on Sorority Row back to back with intro by QT before each show...and he'd go on...and on...and on...man that was fun! Oh, and everyone in the crowd was a local...that was nice too.
How Much ..... by hippolyta	Oct 27th, 2004 10:44:23 AM
The first year I went was BNAT 2 and it was a minimum $24 donation ($1 per hour) but last year I think I paid $30? All money goes toward the Alamo Drafthouse and it's kids' program.
last year... by TheKingInYellow	Oct 27th, 2004 01:28:01 PM
...was 45$.
about your email setting harry by TheKingInYellow	Oct 27th, 2004 02:12:42 PM
you need to turn your security settings off on your road runner account. 2 of my emails were returned with a message about security. very stressful it was. i had to use a different email address and i have no idea if it even went through to you. so please check that setting out and get an auto responder set up so that everyone who's entering knows that their emails go through. know what i mean? thanks!
are they trickling in Harry? by flarna	Oct 27th, 2004 04:13:39 PM
I sent my email at 12:15, and I bcc'ed my own account, but I don't see any proof that it went thru. as the previous poster implied, is your account bouncing any email with attachments? I sent it via gmail which is still pretty slow and I know some of these photo heavy emails must be clogging your account. I can send it again but I know that would just add to the problem. so let us know what's going on Harry...please, the pressure is making me queasy.
flarna by TheKingInYellow	Oct 27th, 2004 04:34:59 PM
i think it is bouncing emails with attachments. even though i had saved my images for web and the toatl email was only 91k (which should go through without a hitch) it gave me a delivery failure. so i did the next best thing: i sent it from hotmail which gives me no response or reassurance that anything went through. i'm very nervous right now and tempted to resend it with my first email without attachments. very very nervous right now.
flarna again by TheKingInYellow	Oct 27th, 2004 04:48:05 PM
i just tried it again but this time with NO attachments. it still didn't go through. pretty shitty. let's hope hotmail works.
Nice piece of shit talkbacks on this site. What the fuck are th by Lamerz	Oct 27th, 2004 08:09:57 PM
Shit-tacular.
uk bnat? hhhuaaaaaaaaaaa by drjones	Oct 28th, 2004 11:45:02 AM
well...lay off your unilateral ideas, brits!! the future of filmfestivals is BNAT-WORLD TOUR. the groupies are already waiting for a night with front film......
John Kerry is no Sox fan (and he can't even pitch over the plate by Electric Tsunami	Oct 28th, 2004 04:11:36 PM
If you think the Sox winning the series is a good omen you are a dumb ass. Just look at this sKerry sQuote from the debates: ******** (remember the second Presidential debate when he said this in response to the environmental question.....) ****** GIBSON: Senator Kerry, minute and a half. ****** KERRY: Boy, to listen to that -- the president, I don't think, is living in a world of reality with respect to the environment. Now, if you're a Red Sox fan, that's OK. But if you're a president, it's not. ******** Fair weather fan???
BNAT 6 Notifications by 5782	Nov 1st, 2004 08:37:57 PM
I am dying. I feel like the polka dot elephant on the Island of Misfit Toys, who thinks Santa is going to pass her by. Has anyone gotten their e-mails confirming their ability to attend BNAT 6. One of my friends got an e-mail yesterday.
Did Santa ever show, 5782? by Pixote	Nov 2nd, 2004 01:54:36 AM
I was dying all day too. Then midnight came, and the coroner made it official. I am the saddest boy on my block.
Woo Hoo! by Huneybee	Nov 2nd, 2004 07:12:10 AM
BNAT 6, here I come. Thanks for the email, Harry, and I'll see ya there.
Santa did not show... by 5782	Nov 2nd, 2004 10:10:03 AM
I am a poor polka dot Elephant on the Island of Misfit Toys, who has to wait till next year, as Santa passed me by. My condolences to those of you who also did not get in. Nobody likes me, everybody hates me. I guess I'll go eat worms.
BNAT 6 List by Roecker	Nov 2nd, 2004 10:44:32 AM
The last two years I did not recieve the e-mail but still got on the BNAT list. Please post a copy of the list and crush the last hope of a desperate man.
