uhhhhh by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Mar 26th, 2008 03:34:14 PM
Ok.
I've never heard of someone..... by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Mar 26th, 2008 03:36:47 PM
........who loved stories about themselves as much as Harry. Its kind of disturbing. Do you think he masturbates to his own image?
Still haven't learned what this thing is about by PotSmokinAlien	Mar 26th, 2008 03:40:23 PM
three articles in two days and not even a friggin plot synopsis. I guess it's about Star Wars nerds and one of them has cancer? Sounds great... (crickets)
Damn you Michael Bay by MCMLXXVI	Mar 26th, 2008 03:41:00 PM
Damn you Michael Bay
Time to Update the Photo, Harry by bobinnova	Mar 26th, 2008 03:41:39 PM
We've seen that publicity photo around too many times at other sites. At least get a decent monitor to pose with you. Why does the Ethan Suplee version sound like its going to suck balls? Give us the Jordan Gelbar version! Why the controversy and why didn't Jordan come back with the rest of the cast?

you nasty bastard.
Harry has a beer and cheets on Fanboys by Xiphos	Mar 26th, 2008 03:48:28 PM
With a bomb in his ribcage. It's old school reference day on AICN. all your bases belong to us.
Richard Widmark by TCSailor	Mar 26th, 2008 03:49:22 PM
Just passed away. Bummer.
Is that a Commodore 64 you got there Harry?!!! by Jugdish	Mar 26th, 2008 03:50:34 PM
Nice CPU Webmaster. Just kidding pal- you do a great job and you can play StarFoX
this dude moved to Austin because of AICN? by Cedar_Room	Mar 26th, 2008 03:52:42 PM
I think we have found a new layer of gimpdom.
this guy's website.. by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Mar 26th, 2008 03:55:13 PM
.......really sucks. There is nothing on there but links to AICN stories.
HARRY by Mr. Nice Gaius	Mar 26th, 2008 04:02:30 PM
Any word on when our very own TALKBACKERS goes into production? That's a film I'd like to see...
George Wendt by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Mar 26th, 2008 04:05:10 PM
Does not fucking age. What is up with that? He has looked the same for 20 years!!
Do you like Beans? Do you like George Wendt? Do you like movies? by DOGSOUP	Mar 26th, 2008 04:07:20 PM
Would you see a movie with George Wendt eating beans? Admit it, this movie wouldn't be nearly as cool if it went off without a hitch.
Xiphos... by -guyinthebackrow	Mar 26th, 2008 04:09:21 PM
That's... All your BASE ARE belong to us. And you forgot Dead Raped Deer.
FANBOYS GOTTA EAT!!! by BGDAWES	Mar 26th, 2008 04:15:46 PM
A lot. "With a bomb in his ribcage." - haven't heard that one so I've gotta find out about it; TB catch phrases flippin crack me up, at least the ones that aren't too Venomy, but Kurt Russel laughed so it's ok.
guyinthebackrow by Xiphos	Mar 26th, 2008 04:26:41 PM
You're right, its been awhile since that particular one has reared its head. I figured I had a 50/50 chance of getting it right. I didn't.

pretty cool article
Let this movie die, along with every other movie this site has h by critch	Mar 26th, 2008 04:31:23 PM
Does anyone care about this movie? The premise is horribly sad for a comedy, (Imagine all you want to do before you die is go see a movie....which ends up sucking.) it only appeals to geeks that are more likely to download this movie instead of see it...and then every review that's come out basically said that the movie itself is crap.
it's kinda homophobic by pajamo12	Mar 26th, 2008 04:32:38 PM
I saw abotu 40 minutes of this at a the Star Wars con last year. Hey, I am not a prude. I love jokes of all kinds. I'm not easily offended. But there's a lot of gay jokes in the film that for me fell flat and seemed really dated. Are sci-fi geeks homophobes? Probably to some degree just liek any other picked upon group but I'm not quite sure what the point of these bad 80's jokes were. Seriously, the jokes come close to having a gay guy talk with a lisp and swing their limp wrists. Like I said, I love gay jokes as much as any other genre but the humor in Fanboys felt liek a big step back. Especialyl for a film that's essentially a mad on the cheap wannabe cute film. Strange.
and another thing by pajamo12	Mar 26th, 2008 04:35:45 PM
there's one sequence where the SW nerds are battling the Trekkies. Again, it's mostly about how muhc gayer the trekkies are. One guy says Picard is gay. And then the trekkie responds with??? nothing. really? how about gay C-3PO is. (hence the gag that both are not gay but British) I mean, at the very least why not make the Trekkies just as balanced as the SW nerds? Again, weird.
Harry has a beer... by palimpsest	Mar 26th, 2008 04:36:21 PM
...and cheets on his right hand.

lol by pajamo12	Mar 26th, 2008 04:41:56 PM
yeha, i kinda agree with you Gotham_Night. It DID feel like a pre-teen wrote it. So sad. becasue this a GREAT idea for a fanboys film.
Bugnuts Harry! Bugnuts! Ha ha ha ah ah ah aha... by Brunomac	Mar 26th, 2008 04:42:54 PM

Who by Series7	Mar 26th, 2008 04:54:46 PM
Had declined the role due to financial demands? Did I miss something? I reading this on the pooper. Just trying to feel like Harry when he is making a post.
One more post from the toilet before i flush by Series7	Mar 26th, 2008 04:56:24 PM
So is Harry the kid that dies of Cancer? What happened to the cancer kid in real life? WIPE.
The living and the Dead? by Series7	Mar 26th, 2008 05:01:13 PM
Man good dump. Anyways, on a different topic in hopes Harry is still reading this. I feel like if you are going to have banner ads, especially for DTV movies there should be a review somewhere letting us know if it sucks are not. I know you've done it a couple times before in you DVD post. I mean this is after all a movie site. You know I didn't want to see Fanboys, then I remembered a fake Harry was in it, now I want to see it again. Can't wait for this film to never be released.
it's a shame it had to be this way by The Amazing G	Mar 26th, 2008 05:14:09 PM
reading that just reminded me of the potential Fanboys had sigh
Sweet Article by XoanonTORN	Mar 26th, 2008 05:26:51 PM
Don't knock Harry for posting about himself..I post myself every morning in the shower ...wait..

Mork calling Orson... by Groothewarrior	Mar 26th, 2008 05:33:06 PM
too bad Orson Wells isnt around to portray Harry
Harry I've got to ask by Neil Peart	Mar 26th, 2008 05:45:58 PM
How in Heaven's name can you even think in such a cluttered room?! (Sorry, man, my neat-freak tendencies are acting up. Carry on.)
i say Cate Blanchett should take a crack at it by ikkyu	Mar 26th, 2008 05:50:49 PM
since she's all getting nominated for Oscars for playing dudes and such. or possibly Shia LeBoeuf. i hear he's popular.
James Earl Jones has the voice for it by ikkyu	Mar 26th, 2008 05:53:04 PM
but, in the end, i think it's obvious it has to be Eastwood.
or Dakota Fanning by ikkyu	Mar 26th, 2008 05:59:04 PM

Ving Rhames? by ikkyu	Mar 26th, 2008 05:59:49 PM

Do I want an update on anything related to Harry: NO by leobloom	Mar 26th, 2008 05:59:59 PM
No offense.
no- it's a tie between Daniel Day Lewis & Lucy Liu by ikkyu	Mar 26th, 2008 06:01:26 PM

It's Fine by Thunderbolt Ross	Mar 26th, 2008 06:02:24 PM
I say this is a reasonable thing to put up on your website
damn, i just can't decide... by ikkyu	Mar 26th, 2008 06:03:56 PM
Ian McKellen?
Kiera or Scarlett? by ikkyu	Mar 26th, 2008 06:05:37 PM
or Matt Damon?
i dunno, Harry- think you just have to do it yourself by ikkyu	Mar 26th, 2008 06:07:03 PM
unless... Sly's available?
After the Fanboys see TPM, do they cry b/c it sucks? by leobloom	Mar 26th, 2008 06:10:08 PM
Or is this a fantasy film where they see it and fall in love with it?
DUH! It's obvious! The dude that plays "Hurley" in LOST by Pixelsmack	Mar 26th, 2008 06:16:53 PM
Spitting image...at least one we can all stand to look at for more than five minutes.
just read though everything by soup74	Mar 26th, 2008 06:17:38 PM
im kind of new to the fanboy drama, so i just read ever branched-off link and article to get the whole story all the way from the begining. (yeah i got time on my hands.) the best part about reading all of it were the talkback comments from the original article talking about this movie before EP I came out. and people were saying things like.. "well, would this movie still work if..now lets just pretend..Episode 1 happened to suck?" HA!
Ok so it's just some ego thing, not news by ricarleite	Mar 26th, 2008 06:30:42 PM
I thought they had decided on the version for the theatrical release, I mean, it has been 10 years since the first new story about Fanboys, but nothing happened thanks to the Weinshmucks or something.
"No let's not watch TPM, let's fuck a whore before I die" by ricarleite	Mar 26th, 2008 06:36:05 PM

AICN writers can't even get a job AS a joke by Lenny8	Mar 26th, 2008 07:16:44 PM
What a sad little band of fools. Well, maybe some day Creepy Thin Man will hire Moriarty to work for him. That would be a fun irony.
Ugh by ryandowneyjr	Mar 26th, 2008 08:06:45 PM
Im not a hater, nor do I troll or whatever, but for fucks sake this is such a pathetic article. You're a big man-child, Harry and I dont mean that in a cute 'aw shucks' way. You need some serious fucking therapy, man.
Want Good LipService- Fawn AICN Staff by ThePilgrim	Mar 26th, 2008 09:07:49 PM
Give Harry a Cameo: The Faculty Texas Chainsaw Remake Give Him Credit for the idea: Hostel Hire an Actor too play him: Fanboys As far as the faliure of Fanboys goes. A small man underestimated the system. He sold it off, and they fucked him. I don't care, I didn't believe in his fandom. This film is all about how the Prequels suck. As boring as Anti Bush Jokes... I'm going too make a movie about a Butt-numb-a-thon Massacre flick. Harry receives an email containing a bunch of quicktime shorts from an independently created Mock-u-Dock Snuff Horror. Harry loves it, the line of communication is established. The director convinces Harry too premier it on at the next Almo Draft House Ritz Butt-numb-a-thon.. The director and cast were going to take stage before the film plays, but they can't be found... The lights remained fixed at the podium for an uncomfortable amount of time. AICN finally decides to roll the film. It's not too long before Harry, his crew and the audience in attendance suddenly realize that the snuff stuff on screen is not fake. People dressed up in the same costumes as those in the film raid the theater-room from the lobby they open fire and attack the patrons with axes and knifes. All at the Numb-A-Thon are seriously Fucked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The only thing bigger than Harry's Ego..Wait for it! by Proman1984	Mar 26th, 2008 09:15:49 PM
No, it's not his stupidity (which is huge). It's the lack of size of his penis. Shame.
NICE ARTICLE by BringingSexyBack	Mar 26th, 2008 09:40:49 PM
Jorge Garcia woulda been perfect. You need to clean your room though.
You need to go to insult school, Proman by half vader	Mar 26th, 2008 11:05:44 PM
Not a Harry fanboy (geddit?!), but fuck man, that was some weak sauce!
I don't give a toss about this film but I sure as shit do by half vader	Mar 26th, 2008 11:12:17 PM
about 052577 or whatever the Patrick Read Johnson Star Wars Fanboy Film is. When the holy fork is THAT one coming out??? Harry?
So the film no longer sucks? by Tourist	Mar 26th, 2008 11:53:24 PM
This sounds like a fucking fanflick pile of crap. Cant they just bury the turd and forget it ever exsisted.
HOw do you meet in the middle of the two versions? by anchorite	Mar 27th, 2008 03:36:30 AM
Do you have a kid think he has cancer but then find out he doesn't? Or do you have the kid go through the movie footloose and fancy-free, then have him suddenly die in the end from some ravaging form of cancer? WTF? This sounds like yet another shining example of why Hollywood is bound and determined to produce crap. Way to go, Weinstein.
That's just sad. by DigitalDong	Mar 27th, 2008 05:43:55 AM
I mean really sad. Fucker even writes like Harry. "lets have 4 paragraphes of meaningless bullshit before I write about what I'm writing ". This isn't going to end well, my guess is that guy is gonna kill Harry when he finally wakes up and realizes he wasted 10 years on a shit film.
That was okay. by TomBodet	Mar 27th, 2008 05:55:59 AM
That shot of Actor#4 there 'in character' makes you look like Bigfoot Harold. Jest sayin'. Well, okay that wasn't THAT painful to read.
. by Tourist	Mar 27th, 2008 08:06:39 AM
"Writing Harry into my movie set off a domino effect. He read it, loved it, and agreed to be in it. Them he posted a review of the script on his website, and that changed everything. His review set Fanboys on its long journey to becoming a big-budget Hollywood film." Don't mean nothin' by it. Just sayin' is all.
Kurt Russel was looking at Harry's headshot by ArcadianDS	Mar 27th, 2008 08:46:36 AM
and he was laughing so I guess it was okay.
Now I have a reason to watch this movie. by Knuckleduster	Mar 27th, 2008 09:27:35 AM
This could make Harry the new Chuck Norris.
Series7 by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Mar 27th, 2008 09:48:45 AM
You had not interest in seeing this but now you do, since you found out there is a fake Harry in it? WTF? Lame. Just lame. You my friend-- are lame.
