a shill, someone who works for the gig bad companies who make stupid decisions about movies and then want us to fall in line. No one, I repeat not one real honest to god non-posing as a geek or fanboy or even a casual reader of this site would ever open his remarks with those lame-ass comments about the girls. That just smacks of someone who is trying too hard to do talkback geek-speak in order to pass as one of us. Anyway, I'm sure as in the Democratic election, the decision has already made as to which way things are going to go. I don't care if it has cancer mentioned or not, but don't try to sell it to us as anything but a corporate decision made by corporate whores.

He's told us nothing whatsoever about the film other than that it's the most hilarious film he's ever seen and is brilliant and has no faults whatsoever, and what's even more amazing is he doesn't even like star wars!

Yeah the film might be good but can we try and have a little objectiveness? Maybe a bit about the films plot, about what he thought of the lack of cancer plot, anything about the film other than just "it's perfect".

Solo is a nickname from high school. I'm not the best driver in the world, and one day a friend called me John Solo because I was driving like crazy. The name stuck. Donna and Shannon are definitely real. Was I really trying to sleep with them? No, it was a joke. Donna is a good friend, Shannon is one of her good friends. When the guy in downtown Burbank was trying to get people to see the movie, I thought of them. Had they not wanted to see it, I wouldn't have. So no, I'm not a plant. No, I'm not a big Star Wars fan. Yes, I loved the movie. Yes, the girls are hot and have matching rebel tattoos.

Some guy stands around asking people to call a number to see a movie. Everybody wants some more details? Ok, first I had no idea there was a rivalry between Star Trek and Wars. And I guess some very high-ups in Star Trek don't like SW. Watch for the Danny Trejo peyote scene. Great stuff. It seems like you talkbackers will bitch about ANYTHING. I saw a movie I liked. Big fucking deal.

The reason everyone thinks you're a plant (or at least an idiot) is that a) you said nothing about the movie except generic meaningless praise, and b) you used most of your "review" to say "I know hot girls, look how hot these girls are that I took." Well congratulations, man-- but no one really cares. We just want to know if you liked the movie or not... and WHY. What was good about it? What wasn't? Your review wasn't much of a review so much as it was patting yourself on the back for knowing a couple of hot chicks. No one cares. You managed to say absolutely nothing of relevance.

I would think the part about me trying to sleep with my friends would be understood as satire, but forget that part. So if you guys want to know more about it, ok. You know the plot, a group of friends decide to steal the first SW movie. Along the way they encounter ST fans, hookers, Danny Trejo, and a couple of great cameos. I didn't get all the jokes, but have seen the movies enough to enjoy the film. Had I not seen it with the SW fans, I don't know if I would have liked it as much, but only because I didn't get some of the references, especially the ones with SW dialogue. You don't have to be a SW fan to like it. You still will laugh at the groups love and devotion to the movies, and how it will make them do anything. Probably the best cameo in the film is the man who gives them the tools to break into Skywalker ranch. The whole theatre cheered on that one. To be honest, there wasn't anything I didn't like. I'm the same way with Wedding Crashers, Spaceballs, Airplane and Old School. Wouldn't change those either. If ya like SW, you'll like it. If ya don't, ya might still like it. Does that help?

Hey man stop bragging about your right and left hands. I agree this sounds like a studio plant. I went to the screening and it was okay that relied on cheap cameo appearances and was average at best. Nothing amazing and probably would like it more if you are a Star Wars fan, but there was potential were it could have been funny and missed out on some great opportunities. If you want to go see Kristen Bell in this movie, you will be disappointed bc of the small screen time she actually has and they really screwed the pooch on this for not having more of her. She is in as a supporting character of myabe 10 mins or so. The cameos are great, but if you love bad comedies this movie is right for you.

you may or may not be a plant but this review READS like a plant and you're not helping your cause, I don't know much about planting movie reviews, but I would assume that the studio would feed the plant the information that they needed re: screening times, place, etc

you talk alot about these hot girls but you don't mention how the direction is, the performances, Kristin Bell, etc. And you know what I love most movies, there are very few movies I downright loathe, but I can always find good things and bad things in a movie even in my most loathed movie of all time, Patch Adams. I can point to some great effects and some decent acting from Shia Lebauf in Transformers while at the same time talking about the lack of robots, the dry humping on Bumblebee, etc in the same breath in Transformers. There are NO perfect movies, tell us WHY this movie is so good (i.e. Jorge Garcia is great as Harry {this is the movie where the fat guy from LOST plays Harry right?}, Kristin Bell really sold her part, most of th ejokes worked but these jokes didn't work) those are just some suggestions

Ok

Well, Kristen Bell's wig wasn't that great and kinda distracting. And the one I saw wasn't a final print. It needed to be cleaned up in some parts, but they told us that at the beginning. Harry Knowles actually played himself. As far as the jokes, acting, etc they all worked for me. But I had never even seen a preview of the movie and had no idea what to expect. Like I said, I just plain enjoyed the film.

Hi gang. In defense of SOLO.. I was at the screening last night for Fanboys also and it was an amazing experience. This movie was wittily written, wonderfully acted and is a true tribute to Star Wars fans young and old. To see Lucas ranch and his archive room on screen..gave me the chills and stunned me in such awe!! Only a Star Wars fan will truly get ALL the jokes and will just plain "get it". From the music to the cameos to the story predicaments it is a treasure for the Star Wars lover!!! I CANNOT wait to own this on DVD and it hasn't even been released yet!!

Man please... For your own sake just never come back here. I tried to be open minded but your whole paragraph on the girls was slightly creepy and then the review had nothing. You talked more about the girls than you did the movie (who was supposed to get the joke that you seemed to think was so funny). And not for nothing but everything you've touched on has been in the trailers (including the Shatner cameo, the Trejo cameo, Kristen Bells wig, etc.). If you're going to post a review act like you've read one.

Reading Solo's replies here (assuming it's really him and not a troll claiming to be him), I was genuinely hoping he would redeem himself and tell us more about this movie. But still he gave us absolutely nothing. Most of us are not asking for spoilers, but maybe some more *insight* into various elements of this film (the actors, the script, a non-spoiler scene description or two here) -- you know, like a real movie review. Even the TBers who claim to have been at the same preview sound suspect, very reticent to talk about anything of relevance and insight about this film. There has been a lot of inside talk that Fanboys is simply a turkey, absolutely unfunny, and its release was held off for well over a year as the studio tried to figure out how to retool it somehow (their decision to axe the cancer storyline is one example). Maybe they need to shoot some more footage -- like write more scenes for Kristen Bell's character (but that's unlikely now due to the strike). I don't know which is most disconcerting -- that this could be yet another plant cynically orchestrated by studio executives, or an actual legit "review" but from a braindead AICNer. Oh, and Harry Knowles does not play himself in Fanboys, Solo. Hell -- you can look this fact up in IMDB.com.

I'm not a professional reviewer. I'm not a SW fan. I just went to see a movie about SW and happened to like it. The fact is, you guys will bitch about anything you can think of. If it isn't one thing, it's another. You guys are so used to bitching that when someone comes along and says something positive about a movie, you can't even conceive of someone not having anything to bitch about. I have a screening of Superhero coming up Tuesday. I'll get more in depth on the movie next time. But you guys will still find something to bitch about...

Why is it you guys just never learn?

1) You say you like watching Star Wars movies but aren't a fan, yet have no idea what the "symbol of the Rebel Alliance" even means.

2) "I absolutely LOVED this film. LOVED. This is going to be one of those films that will become a cult hit."

3) "I found myself laughing nearly every minute the film was playing."

4) "I won't post any spoilers, I don't see the point. Just go see it. This film is good. Real good."

5) "Perfect movie. I wouldn't change a thing. I cannot wait for this to come out on dvd. This is one I will watch over and over. With fanboys and nonfanboys. And girls." Wow, you mean it won't just appeal to fanboys but that EVERYONE should go see it?

6) "They laughed and told me something about how you can't polish the force. I don't even know what that means..." That's because no real fan would ever utter a contextual non-sequitur like that.

7) "These are girls who turn heads when they walk into a room. And if I didn't know them myself, I wouldn't believe they existed." So I guess good-looking people don't have to worry that they'll be stuck in a theater with coke-bottle-bespectacled nerds and fat, sweaty geeks.

8) You've never posted on AICN before.

I thought you guys were here to learn how to deal with us? Why is it that we can serve you countless tips and hints on how to be believable geeks with us, yet you fail every single time? Just how far down do the depths of your stupidity go?

Attention clueless film studio: fire these incompetent marketing fucks and hire me. These people are far too fucking imbecillic to walk upright much less sway the geek contingent. Hook me up and I'll bring it home for you.

I love when a plant posts a story that Harry and Company are gullible enough to post (invariably it's for a movie they have some interest in, either because of its subject matter or because they've accepted advertising from it) and the planter is someone you've never heard of (and never hear from again) and, yet, there they are in the talkback trenches for one shining moment, slugging it out with the regulars, trying to prove they're not like Pinochio, that they, in fact, are "a real boy". And then they disappear again. Just like the wind.

Or they could go straight with it and call you Ted Kennedy. Actually, that's pretty damn good. From now on, your nickname is Ted Kennedy. Now maybe you can "review" a political film and explain that you've had the name Ted Kennedy for years and that you're not really a plant. Just a really, really shitty reviewer.

Has no one ever talked to a hit girl who likes Star Wars because it's kitschy or from her childhood, or one of those increasingly growing amounts of cute chicks into comics and/or manga? Is everyone so bitter and upset at their own lives that they have to vilify some dude they don't even know? And if he is a plant, good for him on getting a sweet and easy gig, and don't hate that his job is working (somewhat on the periphery) of the business while you work in IT in a cubicle, or at Best Buy selling TVs.

...and it seems that since your AICN debut in November 2007, you have participated in a grand total of four talkbacks. In one of these your only input was to malign a couple of talkbackers who expressed their disdain for AvP-R.

What a surprise.

...what is it?"

Again, you're too stupid to have the job you have. It has fuck all to do with whether you like or dislike a movie. The tells are all in the delivery, the lingo, the sad failed attempts to blend in and the marketing touchpoints "subtly" referenced in an effort to lure as broad a crowd as possible.

Also, you would have us believe that you never post here because all we do is bitch and moan, yet the first thing you do after attending a screening is post a "review" here on AICN? And then jump in to defend it afterwards?

By the way, I must once again point out your laughable and phony story about the two hot fangirls who said "you can't polish the Force." There is not one single talkbacker, Star Wars fan or not, who would for an instant believe that fans dedicated enough to tattoo rebel symbols on their bodies would say something as asinine and nonsensical as that.

You're simply a liar and a plant, Solo, and a failure at both.

Now fuck off.

You don't even know what job I have. I said I never post on AICN, never said I don't go here. Of course I'm gonna jump in the talkback on the review I wrote. You still haven't shown any proof I'm a plant. Just because I'm not a SW fanatic and still liked the movie doesn't mean I'm a plant. And of course I didn't actually say the lightsaber thing my friends. That was satirical. Which I already mentioned. Keep reaching for the straws...I love you.
"That was satirical."

Worst. Cop-out. Ever.

Perhaps you should look up "satire" before you claim to have employed it. You lied, plain and simple, and got busted. What you attempted was a ludicrous form of shorthand, a "pidgin geekese" if you will, thinking we'd be too thick to know any different, but it blew up in your face like an ACME cigar making you look like a complete ass-pickle.

I know what happened, son. See, you had been following the plant-demolishing on this site for a while now and reckoned you had us figured out. I'll bet you even bragged to your fellow marketing teammates that you'd slay us big time and to just sit back and watch a master at work.

Wow, I can't even begin to imagine the humiliation you must be going through right now. If it's any consolation, I'm sure your buds are gauging their odds right now, thinking maybe they can learn from your pathetic failure and succeed where you did not. Rest assured, they are as fucking stupid as you are and will be as grotesquely eviscerated as you were. When that happens, maybe your pain will ease.

Hey, Mr. Weinstein and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, I don't know if this film is any good or not, but your plants suck hobo balls. Dump these losers, look me up in the Zone and maybe we can work something out, yes?

Doc, are you hitting on me?

Like I said, you have absolutely no proof of me being a plant. Just because I said that non SW fans would like the film doesn't mean I am a plant. Hey I liked Wedding Crashers and I'm not a big wedding fan. Uh oh, more "plant" talk, right? And of course, no one could possibly like Spaceballs unless they were a SW fan, right? Ya know what, I really liked Anchorman, but I don't watch the local news much. I guess that makes me a plant. Why is it when I tell you that I love you, you never say it back? Are we really that bad off now?
The proof, Solo...

...is in virtually every sentence of that "review". You people are so predictable it's embarrassing. The more you try to blend in, the funnier it gets because you try to splice the geek factor with mainstream which is why the results are invariably hilarious, such as with your ludicrous "polish the force" story. You're the real-life equivalent of that scene in Die Hard 4 when Warlock asks McClane if he likes Boba Fett and he replies that "no, I'm more of a Star Wars guy".

It would have been enough to say that you watch Star Wars and like it, but that you aren't a big fan. Instead, you had to embellish and add that you didn't know what the hell a "symbol of the Rebel Alliance even is". You could have just said that you went to see it with two fan girls, hot or not, and not made up the shit about their tattoos and that cringeworthy lightsaber line. You fabricated a story about these people using your very tenuous grasp on the subculture, thinking its members would be too stupid to know the difference and that you could use the story to lure both geeks and mainstreamers to the theaters.

You're trying to have the cake and eat it too, but you're failing horribly.

The least you could do is take your lumps like a man and learn something from it.

What a fucking loser.

Jeez Doc, if you want a date, just ask...

Yup, I actually didn't know what the symbol was. I do now. I know that you can't possibly imagine someone not knowing that, but there it is. Now ask me some stuff about Batman, I'll go geek on you. And I told you that "polish the Force" was satirical. Yes, Doc I don't know everything about SW. And yes, Donna and Shannon have rebel tattoos. Yeah, a guy gave me a flyer and told me to call a number for a free movie. And because I know Donna and Shannon are SW freaks, I invited them. And yes, I loved the movie. The fact that you think that all of this is farfetched just shows how outside of reality you are...but I still love you.

Hi Doc, Please forgive my friend Solo for his amatuer posting. He truly was enamored with the film and is NOT a SW fan. It's brutal watching everyone attack him on this site so I finally decided to step in whether anyone believes I'm real or not. My name is Donna and I do have a rebel alliance tattoo on my back. My best friend Shannon has the same exact one on her ankle. You give me site and i will post the picture to satisfy the curiousity. We don't claim to be hot (well Shannon is!) but that is Solo being proud and It's flattering but Wow did he get crucified for that. Thee "polish the force" comment was never said and I agree it sounded stupid but give the guy a break. He's fan of the site and was excited to have been posted and now the back lash is just ridiculous and I feel bad for him. As for Solo...Let it be! Lay off and quite making an ass of yourself trying to explain. Now it's just getting stupid and heated for no reason. LAY OFF!!

Dude, just stop. For your own sake.

I never said you had to know ANYTHING about Star Wars, but don't fucking claim that you know hot chicks who are identically rebel-tattooed Star Wars freaks called "Donna" and "Shannon" (Real Doll names, I'd wager) and then proceed to make them sound like people who know less about Star Wars than you do.

There is nothing farfetched about going to previews. I lived in NYC and went to them on numerous occasions.

Like a talkbacker earlier observed, you've had every opportunity to address the tells you have been accused of, but since you have a strict professional framework within which to operate, you can't. You concocted a ludicrous fable thinking it would appeal to SW fans and the casual moviegoer alike and it failed.

The sooner you accept this the sooner you can learn from it and move on.

I can't wait to see your next "review".

K, I was asked to stop

Ok, as fun as this has been, Donna has asked me to stop, so I'll let it go. But I still plan on going to see Superhero with Leslie Nielsen. And I'll send in a review. With character and plot description. I'll even try to find something I don't like, just for you guys. Peace - Johnny

...this just keeps getting better and better.

Well, "Donna", I didn't want to attack you for your first hideously obvious post ("From the music to the cameos to the story predicaments it is a treasure for the Star Wars lover!!! I CANNOT wait to own this on DVD and it hasn't even been released yet!!") because it seemed about as sportsmanlike as hunting down and kicking a quadruple-amputee dachshund to death. However, since you insist on intervening on Solo's behalf, let's see what else you've posted on AICN, shall we?

Well, it seems you've only posted one item before, yesterday, in a BSG talkback:

"I'm damn curious and can't wait for this season to start! Last season folks (VERY SAD!) and it's gonna be balls to the wall riveting!!! I think the prequel is a good idea to give BSG freaks like me more to absorb and enjoy but I'm READY READY for the new season and I'm excited. Who can the last cylon be? Any thoughts?... Theories?"

Even disregarding the goonish, marketing ejacu-speak, isn't it the slightest bit odd that a self-confessed "BSG freak" who is "READY READY" for the new season had nothing else to say? How about some of your own theories? Or even discussing it further at all?

Perhaps you should heed your own advice to Solo and "Let it be! Lay off and quite making an ass of yourself trying to explain."

Wow, Solo...

...Bailed out in the nick of time. What an unexpected and fortuitous turn of events, yes? What were the chances of that? Since you've been asked to stop, then surely there is nothing you can do about it, is there? I'm sure you were on the verge of posting a devastating reply which would have validated everything you've claimed and put us all to shame.

Maybe next time, eh?

I have read in quite some time. Still though, this dude is a plant. plain and simple. Hey Donna, if you're real and this is all bullshit, look me up in the Zone. I go by Mezz. There is a link to my facebook there. Add me as a friend, and let me see the pictures of your tattoo. I'm a nice cool dude, I promise.

Otherwise this whole thing becomes transparently obvious and laughable.

Solo goes "into the wild," so to speak, as so many have before, to confront the geeks and knock them down a few pegs. He gets ridiculed in the Cave of Sorrow and, after an ever-flagging defence, departs in shame. He comes back only after training with an old, grizzled, failed plant who accompanies Solo on his mission of redemption, and who dies saving Solo. Then Solo defeats and destroys his enemies and becomes their new champion . . . This talkback is the equivalent of an early Guy Ritchie movie--hysterical and disgusting. Although I've found some of the gentle, yet respectful accusations re: Solo's alleged plantship rather amusing, come on, folks-- Solo's a human being, had a review posted on AICN, and you're turning his dream-come-true into a nightmare. His review did sound a little chlorophylled, but I'm willing to take his word that he's not a plant and actually knows attractive women. By the way, how do you look up a talkbacker's AICN history? I started posting years ago, then took about five years off because of cramps. I want to have my story straight if Garbageman33 ever puts me in front of the HUAPC.

This dude is a fucking plant. Like, seriously. If I was ever to do a screening review, i'd spoil the shit out of the movie so people would believe i saw it. I don't know why more reviewers don't do that, and when they refuse to spoil it and instead say 'go see it', it rings false to me.

In the end they do get a copy of the film without SFX. It's all greenscreen stuff. They decide to wait until the film comes out. Then the last scene is them in the theatre right before the film starts. One of them looks to the other one and says "What if it isn't any good?" The End.

I would also like to nominate myself as a plant- I've got impeccable AICN credentials, understand the subculture, and can write reasonably coherently.

I'd certainly be better than the last few dickheads that have tried.

This is Shannon....as in "Donna and Shannon"....the non-existent Star Wars fans with Rebel Alliance insignia tattoos. After much talk and text with my best friend Donna I have found that I can no longer sit back and be silent. The shit you guys have been posting about us and our friend Johnny (Solo) is just ridiculous, childish, stupid, self-righteous, and a waste of everyone's time. I thank Mezzanine and ChocolateReign for their diplomacy and open minds on this whole matter. John really is just a regular guy...who knew Donna and I fucking LOOOOOOOVE Star Wars...so he was kind enough to bring us along. We all really Frakkin' LOVED the film...John was excited to get some words posted on AICN...he was even more excited to talk about Donna and me apparently and now he's getting senseless and meaningless ass-rippage for it...by some angry virgins who have nothing better to do. Bottom Line: We all saw the movie together, we all Loved it, John was excited to share, Donna and I do exist, leave the fucking matter alone!

Do plants tell you the ending of films? I did that, and some of you STILL bitch. You bitch because you have nothing better to do. It's easy to make accusations against people over the internet. The only way I could prove I don't work for a studio is to give you my personal information, which I am in no way gonna do. No matter what, you guys will bitch. Oh yeah, the nerdy guy with the glasses ends up with Kristen Bell. Oh man, the studio is gonna kill me now...
