Wow, I got second! by Brunomac	Apr 17th, 2008 04:35:48 PM
I would like to thank the academy, my mom, and my lord and savior Jesus Christ. Now pleast don't make fun of me...I just got back from lunch and logged on - I wasn't lurking waiting or anything. I swear, it's true. Please don't call me a geek, fag, or douche....
No thanks, I'd rather not. by bluraymondchandler	Apr 17th, 2008 04:45:12 PM
Enough with the Apatow, already.

Living in Oregon is awesome... by Bob Loblaw Law Blog	Apr 17th, 2008 05:26:57 PM
except that I miss out on all these bad-ass AICN screenings in Austin!! Still, I think it's cool that you do all these, Harry. The post-BNAT "Son of Rambow" screening gave me a great taste of these oft-mentioned mega events (well, besides the awesomeness that was BNAT).
No by Iowa Snot Client	Apr 17th, 2008 05:27:07 PM
But thanks.
That's it...I'm moving to Austin. by BGDAWES	Apr 17th, 2008 05:30:43 PM
It's too windy where I live anyway. By the way, Harry - sorry about the rough few weeks you've had. I also have a few friends that live with diabetes and they have all managed through very well. They also live more healthy and active lives than my lazy ass does so hang in there chief.
Wow.....more of this shit? by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Apr 17th, 2008 05:35:41 PM
No thanks.
NO. by TomBodet	Apr 17th, 2008 05:38:17 PM
and NO.
email sent... by samuraiyao	Apr 17th, 2008 05:41:34 PM
I've always wanted to watch a movie in advance...
That's not what I meant, Harold. by Squashua	Apr 17th, 2008 05:45:17 PM
Of course the chicks are e-mailing you. James fucking Franco is going to be there. I meant "Sausagefest" in that there's no eye candy for those of us who are "penis only goes in a female or my own fist bound". I mean, I guess we can check out the audience...
email sent by Pimpalicious	Apr 17th, 2008 05:47:23 PM
this is why I check-in with AICN at least 5 times a day. Thanks Harry!
Any info about the campus tickets Harry? by McJakeG	Apr 17th, 2008 05:47:38 PM
I go to UT,
whoops by McJakeG	Apr 17th, 2008 05:48:20 PM
and am wondering if you know anything about how or when they will be doing it?
DAMN!!! WISH I WAS GOING by Broseph	Apr 17th, 2008 05:54:04 PM

Squashua isn't attracted to Amber Heard by TequilaMocking	Apr 17th, 2008 05:57:20 PM
Someone check his pulse.

Harry, Answer My Damn Questions by Mr. Mcpoops	Apr 17th, 2008 07:53:44 PM
Have you read Superman vs. Hollywood? If so, what did you think about the mentions of you and AICN?
Super Bad was over rated by Mr. Mcpoops	Apr 17th, 2008 07:55:45 PM
and not very good. I just didn't like it. And Jonah Hill whined like a bitch the whole time.
Seriously... by rutgersjaffo	Apr 17th, 2008 08:42:46 PM
I refuse to watch another of this whole clan's films. It's old, already. Formulaic much? And yes, Superbad completely sucked. Stupid, stupid, stupid, and just plain ridiculously stupid. Talk about a bunch of lemmings...
Yes, I would. Very much. by Hercules	Apr 17th, 2008 09:12:05 PM
But oh wait. I DON'T FUCKING LIVE IN AUSTIN ANYMORE!!
Harry... by mefrog	Apr 17th, 2008 09:42:48 PM
When is the deadline for this? Because I got a flight in the middle of the night and when I arrive tomorrow, I wanna open my computer and send you my entry.
Tequila, the annc. says nothing about Amber Heard by Squashua	Apr 17th, 2008 10:02:37 PM
So I have no idea if she'd be there. Anyway, I live nowhere near Texas, so the point is moo-t. A cow's opinion.
SAW MOVIE THIS PAST AUGUST by justanothermoviefan	Apr 17th, 2008 11:08:12 PM
...in Burbank. I've been telling my friends it's like Cheech & Chong w/ guns. I wasn't the biggest fan of Hot Fuzz, and felt PE balanced the comedy and action much, much better. The action is funny, unlike Hot Fuzz, which just had action (although it was well done). It's really fucking funny. It's not a great movie, but Rogen and especially Franco are just fun to watch. There was a subplot with Rogen's girlfriend that needed work (like, cut it out) but a couple scenes pretty much need the storyline, so I'm sure it is still in the film. Anyway, if you can see the film early, its totally worth it.
This is how I feel about it.... by vadakinX	Apr 18th, 2008 01:04:19 AM
It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire. During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire's ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet. Pursued by the Empire's sinister agents, Princess Leia races home aboard her starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her people and restore freedom to the galaxy...
Yay geek backlash! by tbransonlives	Apr 18th, 2008 02:09:14 AM
predictable
by the way	Apr 18th, 2008 02:24:10 AM
Wanna See "Where the Wild Things Are" a year early instead of waiting for the studio to re-cut Spike Jonze's version: ENCOURAGE HARRY TO PROMOTE A PETITION TO STOP THOSE EVIL DOERS!
In a Perfect World... by psychedelic	Apr 18th, 2008 02:25:31 AM
There'd be herbal indulgences served at the Alamo Drafthouse and there'd be teleporters so I could go there any time I want (not just for the herbs, but the movies, queso, awesome atmosphere, gonzo programs, pizza, etc.) Keep your spirts up, Harry. My Dad was grossly overweight my whole life until about six years ago. He was diagnosed with Type 2 diabeties, got serious and lost about 90 lbs. or more. Now he's thin and in the best shape I've ever seen him at age 63, 64 next month. You can get through this and feel great. I've been on the treadmill myself of late to shed pounds.
Passing on Seth Rogan for life by m_prevette	Apr 18th, 2008 07:18:00 AM
..no thanks, no way. In about 2 or 3 years, Apatow and company will just be a memory, he's the John Hughes of the 21st century
Do I wanna see Pineapple Express 3 months early?! by AARONIUS	Apr 18th, 2008 07:55:19 AM
Judging from the abysmal clip that comes on the Superbad DVD, NO I DO NOT. I guess they'll let anybody make movies today.
Notification by snoosnoo_the_panda	Apr 18th, 2008 08:17:02 AM
When do we find out if were on the list for the screening?
why so long to release it? by johnnyjlawless	Apr 18th, 2008 08:22:52 AM
didn't they wrap filming a year and a half ago? Maybe it takes that long to complete the complex sfx work?
i'm DYING to see this by SpawnofAchilles	Apr 18th, 2008 09:37:53 AM
and Ironman the day before are you kidding me?? my brain would melt from the awesomeness. What is with the Apatow backlash? The movies are quality and fuckin' hilarious, what other good comedies are coming out(aside from the looks of it, Tropic Thunder)? Anyone? anyone!? Plus david gordon green is the fuckin' man.
EVERY time I see the name of this movie by Cotton McKnight	Apr 18th, 2008 11:36:48 AM
I think it's a remake of an old Tim Conway/Don Knotts movie. I have no idea why.
SpawnofAchilles by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Apr 18th, 2008 01:17:26 PM
There is a backlash because his shit is formulaic and used up and all his films look and feel the same and Seth Rogan is fat arrogant fuck now who thinks he is a God of comedy because he had two successful fucking films!
omg!!!! by snapple_ladys_lazy_eye	Apr 18th, 2008 01:53:50 PM
no thanks. what the blood on danny glovers dick said.
There's backlash by m_prevette	Apr 18th, 2008 04:59:25 PM
because Superbad was a horrid movie and people are finally starting to get it. I mean not just bad...but horrid. If I knew kids like that in high school I hope they're dead now. It was an ugly mean spirited unfunny comedy. Apatow is marginally talented...he can point a camera and say "action". But he has no fresh ideas. Never had them.
Bob Loblaw Law Blog by JMcLovin	Apr 18th, 2008 09:14:29 PM
Oi. I live in London, so I can only dream of being anywhere near anything AICN-related ! So don't complain ;)
Alamo will get U french fries in the morning but not pot brownie by Prague23	Apr 19th, 2008 05:53:40 AM
I heard a story about you Harry, something about demanding french fries for breakfast at the Alamo. Just bring your own bag of shake and a box of brownie mix and offer to make them yourself. Sux that I have to wait until October to see this film in Prague :-(
David Gordon Green by hoggydog	Apr 19th, 2008 12:07:01 PM
He's a good director. If there is going to be an Apatow-produced comedy that breaks the formula it is sure to be this one. Also, some people seem to think Apatow directs all these, but no he just produces most of them. Most are first-time directors so the actual film making aspects are very amateur. Gordon Green will hopefully change that.
If I showed up high would you let me in? by SoylentMean	Apr 19th, 2008 07:39:10 PM
If I had tickets, reeked of patchouli, and had my eyes bugging for the concession stand that is. Fuckin' hell, why don't I live in Austin? I guess I'd have to deal with all the damn dirty Texans if I did, but what's love without sacrifice? Oh, and I don't do drugs, never did. I learned my D.A.R.E. lesson-the fuck up cops get to teach fifth graders for a day.
Be careful Harry. by mrfan	Apr 19th, 2008 10:20:28 PM
Most of those "chicks" are probably guys. If they show up then I suggest doing a crotch check. Make sure some of them aren't tucking as well. Crazy fans out there.
Ha, DARE by Murkish	Apr 21st, 2008 01:53:12 AM
my DARE officer in junior high was arrested for dealing drugs to students.
m_prevette by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Apr 21st, 2008 02:02:31 PM
Dude you are nuts for suggesting Apatow is today's John Hughes. Hughes will be loved, admired, and watched 'till the end of time. Apatow will be completely forgotten in about five years. And I mean completely.
Some of you are dumb. by dablunt89	Apr 21st, 2008 02:22:13 PM
Yes Apatow has produced a lot of these movies. But he has really only directed the 40 Year Old Virgin(which a lot of you loved) and knocked up (which is when this silly Apatow hate started). If you didn't like superbad then blame it on the writers and real director (i forget who he was, kasdan maybe?). So it is either you hate apatow or you hate all things associated with apatow (which, lets face it, is pretty much every comedy in one way or another.). Either way, you suck.
dablunt89-- no you are stupid. by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Apr 21st, 2008 03:36:26 PM

Apatow.... by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Apr 21st, 2008 03:38:54 PM
....is clearly a guy that gets hands on involved in everything he puts his name on. Sorta like all the behind the scenes shit for Willow where you see Lucas directing the whole thing.....yeah like that. So fuck off if you dont think the hate toward Apatow is warranted even if he didnt direct the damn thing. These are puppet directors. If the style, feel, and look of all his films is exactly the same-- you think thats just a fucking coincidence? He doesnt have to direct it to control it. Like the great Martin Landau once said, "HE PULLS THE STRINGS!!! PULL THE STRINGS!!"
Bela Lugosi's Cape Wearing Corpse Laughed by SoylentMean	Apr 21st, 2008 05:06:26 PM
at DannyGloversDickblood, then promptly got checked for every known STD. "Pull the strings" indeed, "Pull the strings".
completely forgotten? by GrandpaShampoo	Apr 21st, 2008 05:07:40 PM
Sure, he may not be able to continue on this insane streak for years to come, but to say he will be completely forgotten is just asinine. A person who is involved with movies that critics and mainstream audiences adore, and that make tons of money are never completely forgotten. You need to step outside of the house for a second and think before you post next time.
GrandpaShampoo by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Apr 21st, 2008 05:16:05 PM
Audiences loved Eddie Murphy's Nutty Professor, and it made a shit-load of money. Over 120 million I believe. And after about 10 years that piece of shit is completely forgotten. Thats what I mean. If you bring it up-- sure people remember it.......but you get my drift right?
"now we now what's eating Gilbert Grape!" by ian216a	Apr 21st, 2008 05:29:52 PM
Best fat joke ever - that's how forgotton The Nutty Professor is. Team Apatow films are funny - can we just leave it at that?
Alright "Now we Know" would makeit funnier. by ian216a	Apr 21st, 2008 05:32:16 PM
thats what i get for posting whilst drinking pear cider.
Pear Cider by Longtime Lurker	Apr 21st, 2008 06:39:32 PM

The Apatow Backlash is Absurd by Captain Mal	Apr 22nd, 2008 01:23:44 AM
What, exactly, is the formula that ties all these movies together? Please be sure to include "Walk Hard" (the rock bio spoof) and "Drillbit Taylor" (the homeless bodyguard farce) along with "Superbad" (the buddy caper film), "Knocked Up" (the romantic comedy), and "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" (the raunchy coming-of-age flick). Oh, and let's not forget "Pineapple Express" (the action comdy thrill ride). The fact is, whether you like any of these flicks or not, the "backlash" against them is founded on nothing more than posturing. The movies are mostly successful because they're funny. Audiences don't pay good money and provide good word of mouth for films that aren't funny, or touching, or wild, or whatever else they're looking for in a film. If you don't get it, it doesn't make everyone else a moron. Swear to god, I wonder if the internet will ever grow up.
Quite right captain mal by dablunt89	Apr 22nd, 2008 02:26:11 AM
Lets start getting some more film appreciation in these talkbacks. And less "Oh look at me I'm controversial!" statements that too often devolve into illogical whining. I know a lot of you are feel nice and secure in front of your computer, but people work their asses off on these a lot of these films, even if you don't like the final product, it doesn't hurt to show some respect. And no apatow did not ghost direct every single film that he produced dickblood you silly man. That is just your attempt at an argument.
Well said dablunt89/captain mal... by asmith96	Apr 22nd, 2008 09:01:34 AM
DannyG Dickwhatever and other haters...to get a frame of reference, what movie(s) made in the last 5-8 years ARE funny in your opinion?

if you didn't like superbad, you're supermoronic. there is nothing not to love. p in the fuckin' va-g
i need to know by Jamador79	Apr 23rd, 2008 06:55:32 PM
if i need to plan a trip to austin!! even though it's only 3 hours away, and my old hometown...i'd like to give my boss some heads up that i want to leave early on Friday, so i can be sure to get some Trudy's that night!
Harry take your time... by shadydave	Apr 24th, 2008 02:44:05 AM
Dude i will drop everything to see this movie, take your time, let me know like 3 hours before and i'd be there for sure.
