Anyone seen my dad? by Bastard Son of Superman	Apr 25th, 2008 09:26:46 AM

I wish my town was a cool as Chicago. by Diagnostic	Apr 25th, 2008 09:39:41 AM
Ah well.
What the? by rutgerman	Apr 25th, 2008 09:58:07 AM
So my diatribe about how I have loved Iron Man for years wasn't enough, Capone? Really? That's too bad. I was really looking forward to joining you and other AICNers there. I guess I'm just not worthy, even after being a long time reader, for the last 10 years now (and getting COUNTLESS others addicted to AICN). This is the first time I was excited about an event and the first time I sent anything in FOR an event. But OK then. Your call, I guess.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha haha
Dang, Capone! by robertplant	Apr 25th, 2008 10:03:19 AM
I wish you would have picked me. My grandfather is buried in the same cemetary as Al Capone. Dang! It! Cool! Nooze!

AMC River East 21 by Quantum Leap	Apr 25th, 2008 10:06:02 AM
It's a great place to see a movie. The stadium style seating is a plus.
Don't tell me what screening I can and cannot attend! by tonagan	Apr 25th, 2008 10:07:21 AM
You're not my mother!
I think mine was probably too long... by Wooby111	Apr 25th, 2008 10:50:14 AM
Next time I'll put less effort into it, you lazy cocksmoker.
I'm In! by ShiftyEyedDog2	Apr 25th, 2008 11:01:31 AM
I KNEW he couldn't resist the promise of oral sex combined with the promise not to post the video of it on the internet! Oops! gotta go, BSG stream starting!
That's it!! by KarmicRelief	Apr 25th, 2008 11:07:32 AM
You're off my Christmas card list, Capone!! Just kidding, man. Hope you all have a good screening. Guess we'll have to wait for the midnight showing. Have fun, everyone who made it in!
Karmic: 8pm, not midnight by ShiftyEyedDog2	Apr 25th, 2008 11:10:21 AM
You dont have to wait until midnight. It's starting at 8pm Thursday night at theaters across the country.
Putting things in perspecctive by TheRealCapone	Apr 25th, 2008 11:18:17 AM
Just to give those of you who didn't get selected some idea of your odds: I received nearly 500 entries for this contest (some wanted to bring a guest, but most were selfish and only wanted to get themselves in). It goes without saying that is the most I've ever had to deal with. I read every entry, but let's face it: the fact that somebody told me they were a long-time fan of the Iron Man comic books wasn't really enough on its own to get into this thing. Some of the entries were essay length; some were two sentences. Some emphasized their love of the comics, superhero movies in general, Robert Downey Jr., etc. There was no check list of traits I was looking for in the winners. I just picked the ones that stood out. I've got plenty more already on tap for Chicago this summer, which you'll hear about soon; plus I'm negotiating a couple other screenings based on talent I know is coming to town on their various press tours. We're just getting started.
Capone screwed me again by The Boz	Apr 25th, 2008 11:18:22 AM
Q101.com has a Chicago screening on Tuesday. Guess I have to wait one more day to not pay for Iron Man. No tears... but lots of single dudes on that list.
Caone, by lantern48	Apr 25th, 2008 11:19:02 AM
Thanks man. Let Harry have his silly little rocket pack man, we're gonna rock River East 21.
Bummer by Acappellaman	Apr 25th, 2008 11:19:54 AM
Mine may have been too long, and perhaps not enough kissing up. Maybe next time.
Didn't get in.... : ( by Ultron ver 2.0	Apr 25th, 2008 11:20:24 AM
Man, even my screen name is a Marvel character, made of metal! This sucks...
Capone screwed me a third time by The Boz	Apr 25th, 2008 11:20:46 AM
You do treat us well in Chicago, Cappy. Any chance you are going to do a post on the Q&A from the Promotion?
Capone, by lantern48	Apr 25th, 2008 11:23:11 AM
sorry, in my excitement I missed the P last time.
rats by strosmer	Apr 25th, 2008 11:52:46 AM
Really rats. I thought I was a shoe in. Oh well.
Fun fact: by okay and god damn it	Apr 25th, 2008 12:07:11 PM

Other fun fact: by okay and god damn it	Apr 25th, 2008 12:08:38 PM
(Cause that last one didn't work at all.) Al Capone supplied barrels of beer for my great grandparents' wedding. I'm told they were pals.
Good luck, guys. by ZeroCorpse	Apr 25th, 2008 12:11:59 PM
I hope the recent violence in Chicago has subsided enough that you can have a fun night without getting shot at.
Anti-party by Harrigan	Apr 25th, 2008 12:18:16 PM
For everyone that didn't get in - party latenight at Beaumont's. I'll be the one on the stage actually getting some.
Hmmmmmmm... by dihay	Apr 25th, 2008 12:33:06 PM
I wonder how many of you who did not win are now thinking "fake I.D." This is Chicago after all...
Well... by rutgerman	Apr 25th, 2008 12:37:05 PM
Understood, Capone. I'm disappointed, but I'll get over it. Have fun to those who made it.
ZeroCorpse by TakeItEasyMon	Apr 25th, 2008 12:42:07 PM
The shootings are on the other end of town a good 50+ blocks away, the theater is in the tourist-district next to all the hotels. It's a boring neighborhood, and that nice theater is the only thing worth seeing for several blocks in any direction. I didn't get in anyway. Meh!
YAY! I GET TO SPIT IN CAPONE'S MOUTH by Lenny8	Apr 25th, 2008 12:50:23 PM

YAY! I GET TO SPIT IN CAPONE'S MOUTH by Lenny8	Apr 25th, 2008 12:51:03 PM
Little does he know, but I AM ONE OF THE ONES LISTED!!! Oh shit, this will be fun!
by oisin5199	Apr 25th, 2008 01:20:35 PM

Chicago's a big place, dude by oisin5199	Apr 25th, 2008 01:24:01 PM
Gang violence happens in every major city, but usually in very specific areas. I don't think anyone's in any danger. And, oh yeah, I'm there!!
Good to see the Prokopy (Capone) relatives make the list... by kayleefan	Apr 25th, 2008 01:31:20 PM

Excited for this! by LeckoManiac	Apr 25th, 2008 01:43:30 PM
I made the list and I absolutely can't wait. An ENORMOUS thank you to Capone for setting this up in Chicago and allowing me to be a part of it. See some of you fine folks on Monday!
Kayleefan by The Funketeer	Apr 25th, 2008 03:05:55 PM
You're upset that he's bringing his wife or that he's capable of getting one?
The Q&A by Cpt. Arnoldo	Apr 25th, 2008 04:34:41 PM
at THE PROMOTION was pretty fun, there was a mentally retarded old man in the front who kept yelling shit and ended up trading baseball caps with Seann William Scott since Scott said he was a Cubs fan, and the guy said "I'LL TRADE YA" for his black cap that he had on. It was pretty funny. Got a picture and talked with Seann after, he's a pretty great dude, was very nice to me and my father. Good film, too.
Gang Violence by chaseguy17	Apr 25th, 2008 05:37:26 PM
Chicago...is rediculously huge. The skyscrapers, the city, up north wrigley field, pretty much everything you would think of when you think about Chicago almost NEVER has these shootings. The places you are refering to are part of "south side" chicago. South side is notorious for gang violence and such. From the theater we are at...it would literally take 20 to 30 minutes to drive where these shootings took place. The theater is not a bad area at all. It's a couple blocks from Michigan avenue for god's sake. Michagan avenue, aka one of the riches shopping strips in the country; where the celebs go.

Sounds like a typical bastard
Why the random ASCII codes? by Mr Stonky	Apr 25th, 2008 11:35:16 PM
Those are clearly ASCII capitals, but they don't form a word. If it's an ID code then surely a barcode would be better?
capone!!! by soup74	Apr 26th, 2008 12:04:39 AM
i told you i have a superhero collection on dvd, which means i actually own catwoman and elektra!! i fucking looked a clerk direct in the face and paid money for Catwoman! if that doesnt make me deserve to see iron man, i can only imagine what the rest of you people wrote.
soup74 by lantern48	Apr 26th, 2008 01:05:57 AM
That's probably EXACTLY why Capone left you off the list. You paid for Catwoman?? Seriously?
i know by soup74	Apr 26th, 2008 01:26:22 AM
i know.. horrible, i have no excuse, but i wanted my collection to be complete. At least i got it a resale shop for $5
You got ripped of soup74. by mrfan	Apr 26th, 2008 04:52:05 AM
I found my copy in the trash.
soup74 by Funketeer	Apr 26th, 2008 09:35:19 AM
Paying money for Catwoman only gives studios a reason to continue making crap like that. For that reason alone, you should never be allowed to see another superhero movie again.
Iron Man fucked Spidey in the movie WONDER BOYS by Tacom	Apr 26th, 2008 10:12:47 AM
I just remembered that!
damn by soup74	Apr 26th, 2008 09:47:02 PM
y'all are harsh. i guess i didnt deserve to go.
Iron Man world premiere in Mexico City by Ricardo Zamora	Apr 26th, 2008 09:51:53 PM
2 Thousand were the first to see the movie @ Cinemex Polanco. I was there and it rocked!!! If you liked the trailer you are gonna love the movie. Hey Jon Favreau! and Robert Downey!. Just two words: THANK YOU!
Who can tell me about the AMC River East? by ShiftyEyedDog2	Apr 26th, 2008 11:06:28 PM
I'm coming in from out of town (from the west, I-90). Can someone tell me easiest way to get there, do they have parking, etc?
Messi > All those people by messi	Apr 27th, 2008 05:24:23 AM
nothing beats me.
River East by Funketeer	Apr 27th, 2008 09:35:28 AM
It's just a couple blocks from Navy Pier. There's a parking garage you have to pay for but I think they validate a little bit if you're there for less than four hours. It's possible you'd find some street parking but you'll save yourself a headache by just paying for a lot. Lot's of places to eat nearby.
$13-$16 for parking? YIKES! by ShiftyEyedDog2	Apr 28th, 2008 01:19:55 AM
So I was looking into the theater to plan my trip into the city, and everything I see tells me street parking is next to impossible, and the lots nearby are $13 to $16, and that's WITH validation! (don't lose your stubs, boys! without it is like $20+) So while I'm grateful to be going to this screening, holy hell the costs are adding up!
p.s. Anyone wanna pay for my parking to be my +1? by ShiftyEyedDog2	Apr 28th, 2008 01:20:37 AM
LOL
Tickets to the Advanced Screening in Baltimore by Kampy0jay	Apr 28th, 2008 02:20:45 PM
I Have a few on sale on ebay if you're in the area, item # 170214377125
At least 2 standby tickets available! by ShiftyEyedDog2	Apr 28th, 2008 04:09:13 PM
After all my planning, my "+1" flaked out, so then I offered it to Talkbackers. But then after all that soliciting, it doesn't matter, as I won't be able to even make it there myself in time tonight. DAMNIT! so if anyone in chicago wanted to go, there's at least 2 standby tickets that will be available!
Shifty EyedDog2 by strosmer	Apr 28th, 2008 06:46:09 PM
Why didn't I read your post before I left work? Now I'm home and the movie starts in 20 minutes. ARRRRGHHHH! Oh well. I hope all there are having a great time [he says grumbling frustratedly under his breath].
Just got back by The Funketeer	Apr 28th, 2008 11:05:49 PM
It was awesome. Thanks Capone. BTW - $32.00 to park because I got there early enough that I missed the 4 hour window for validation. Ouch. Still worth it.
yeah, it was awesome by oisin5199	Apr 28th, 2008 11:59:48 PM
though I found it funny that they didn't ask for the email or my id, just my name. So anyone seeing the list of names posted here could have just given one of the names and got in.
