Waiting with great anticipation for.... by lazygarfield	Mar 24th, 2009 04:17:43 AM
Observe and Report, Adventureland, Drag Me to Hell and 500 Days of Story.
Did you miss Pontypool? by heavenlykid	Mar 24th, 2009 04:29:14 AM
Have to admit, even with the first negative review, the concept has me curious.
I was hoping that "Haunting..." would be a surprise by Spifftacular Squirrel Girl	Mar 24th, 2009 04:34:02 AM
I remember being creeped out enough the first time I saw the trailer and thought that maybe it could be an ok haunted house film. Something that doesn't happen very often. Sadly it just sounds like it's going to be another make-loud-noises-for-cheap-sca res type film. That's too bad.
The films i'm most looking forward to this summer by barnaby jones	Mar 24th, 2009 05:00:21 AM
are the smaller ones !!
ben kingsley? by kgerm	Mar 24th, 2009 06:37:51 AM
dude, no one gives a shit about the vulture. some of us born after 1970 would like to see a villain that's actually cool.
Zooey Deschanel by Zombieflicker	Mar 24th, 2009 08:14:49 AM
She is by far one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. Look at those eyes! I can only stomach "The Happening" because she's in it.
Women in Trouble sounds terrible by Nadine_Cross	Mar 24th, 2009 08:22:40 AM
And JGL should buy that Steve Harvey book. You know, to teach him to respect himself.
See, Harry can write decently enough by GaiustheBrave	Mar 24th, 2009 08:25:32 AM
when he wants to. Please, please, Mr. Raimi, no Vulture in Spider-Man 4. Please. Just stick with one villain: The Lizard. Make it small and simple. SM3 was just as much a victim of its bloated story as it was its silliness.
Vulture:NO, Lizard + Kraven:Yes! by jarjarmessiah	Mar 24th, 2009 08:53:21 AM
Kraven comes to NYC to hunt down the Lizard, but Spidey captures him before Kraven can bag the beast. Impressed by Spidey's abilities, Kraven decides Spiderman would be the ultimate hunting trophy. You're welcome.
I wish, I could - write like Harry.., by Knuckleduster	Mar 24th, 2009 10:34:27 AM
It really is a nightmare to read. That said, 500 Days of Summer, That Evening Sun and Women in Trouble have me excited.
Kevin Heffernan by wcgilb	Mar 24th, 2009 11:36:20 AM
ROCKS!
Zooey Deschanel haunts my dreams... by iwasredempted	Mar 24th, 2009 02:40:22 PM
i caught failure to launch at a friends house, normally i don't watch garbage like that, and deschanel changed my life. being just a tad sarcastic but man i really dig her.
Women In Trouble sucked! by PapaKin	Mar 24th, 2009 02:48:17 PM
Unlike Harry, I have no puppet strings attached to me when I see a film. I walked out of this piece of shit. And that should say a lot when Carlu Gugino is only a few seats away. Drag Me To Hell however is worth the hype.
What about Sin Nombre? by PapaKin	Mar 24th, 2009 02:50:19 PM
THAT was the best film at SXSW
So, The Haunting in Connecticut was bad? by SoylentMean	Mar 24th, 2009 03:24:36 PM
Son of a she dog. Dammit. I was hoping it would be good. Well, now I know that the movie I'll be seeing first this weekend has Monsters and Aliens in its title and you have to wear 3D glasses to see it in all its glory. Now if only I could remember what the name of the movie is?
I want to go to a festival where a movie causes a riot by SoylentMean	Mar 24th, 2009 03:25:33 PM
I mean the film is so bad that somebody has to get burned at the stake. At least in effigy.
Is There A Splinterheads Review by HapaPapa72	Mar 24th, 2009 04:11:13 PM
Anywhere on AICN? Just how many indie films are there at SXSW? Just curious.
I hope the new Raimi flick is as good as the hype. by Shepard Wong	Mar 24th, 2009 04:14:36 PM
With the exception of the new Coffin Joe movie, it's the horror movie I'm most looking forward to this year.
Wah, new Coffin Joe movie? Get outta town! by SoylentMean	Mar 24th, 2009 04:25:03 PM
Really, I thought that guy was dead.
HapaPapa72 by HEADGEEK	Mar 24th, 2009 05:30:41 PM
It is impossible to see everything at SXSW - there's 129 features that play. Including screeners in advance and films seen during the festival - I saw 35 - slightly more than a fourth of the films. That should tell you just how massive this beast is!
129 Features? Over the course of how many days? by SoylentMean	Mar 24th, 2009 05:39:38 PM
How is that even remotely helpful to moviegoers? It's just not possible to see all those films in a short time frame.
Hooray for Broken Lizard! They are so brilliant. by dr sauch	Mar 24th, 2009 06:11:39 PM
Every movie is hilarious.
Breaking news!！I heard she is dating online? by iamalice1	Mar 24th, 2009 08:10:59 PM
Really,I was told by one of my friends she is dating with a millionaire on ^W e a l t h y S i n g l e . N e t^? Wow, I can`t understand why celebrities are interested in this??

SXSW Visitors, learn to tip by einsteinsarcade	Mar 25th, 2009 12:13:37 AM
Seriously, tip your waitstaff, especially if your bill was taken care of by the establishment. Bad form.

Tobe Hooper has morphed into Steven Spielberg! by The Reluctant Austinite	Mar 25th, 2009 11:08:52 AM

Anyone whose seen Club Dread or Beerfest. . . by jimmay	Mar 25th, 2009 12:42:51 PM
And uses "brilliant", "Hilarious" or any adjective that might feasibly be translated into a synonym for "good" in regards to their history of film making needs to turn in their movie geek card. Now!
HELL YEAH IM GONNA SEE DRAG ME TO HELL! by ZOMBIECOCK	Mar 25th, 2009 02:21:45 PM
Gonna drag my wife to it and love it. Is it rated R or pg13? I forget what it was supposed to be.
jimmay, you're no authority pal by SoylentMean	Mar 25th, 2009 10:00:09 PM
Just because you didn't like something doesn't mean other folks can't enjoy it. I liked Club Dread and thought Beerfest was a seriously wasted opportunity that came off as some alternate universe Dodgeball ripoff. But Broken Lizard brought us Super Troopers, so they've at least earned my constant curiosity regarding their newer projects.
what was the other movie? by hank quinlan	Mar 25th, 2009 10:54:32 PM
Come on Harry. You know that frustration you felt with the weird lady? That's how I felt about you NOT talking about the one film you wouldn't review. Weird. Must be friends or what?
Great review by criticalbliss	Mar 25th, 2009 11:14:41 PM
That's how to do it, Harry. Nice work. Looking forward to Drag Me to Hell.
