Whats not to get, Jimmy? by D.Vader	Apr 2nd, 2009 05:55:59 PM
Oh I see, you just wanted to get "first" real quick...
Maybe the coolest thing I've ever seen! by couchtrip105	Apr 2nd, 2009 05:59:57 PM
Except for that one still shot from "Fairly-Odd Parents." Wicked cool!
all i got to say about this great deal is "sham-WOW"! by BMacSmith	Apr 2nd, 2009 06:00:32 PM
thanks Harry for the heads up! are there any other great deals your keeping from us! just set it, and forget it! you fucking whore.
D.Vader... by jimmy rabbitte	Apr 2nd, 2009 06:00:43 PM
If that picture doesn't get a "huh?" out of you, then good for you. It took me a minute to take it all in. The "first" thing has never impressed me. You should be thanking me for not typing that, the way all the morons do.
I don't consider this news... by Dr.DirtyD	Apr 2nd, 2009 06:02:25 PM
I consider it advertising. There's a place for that: it's all up along the sides and around this sit, they're called pop-ups and banners. Why do the articles themselves have to be advertisements.
At least he's upfront about it this time. by Dr.DirtyD	Apr 2nd, 2009 06:04:02 PM

And... by Dr.DirtyD	Apr 2nd, 2009 06:09:38 PM
while Harry is busy selling stuff, Yahoo news has an article about ALL the transformers featured in that new movie.
Dr.DirtyD by HEADGEEK	Apr 2nd, 2009 06:18:22 PM
How do I profit from this? I have no stake in the gallery or any of the art. I bought one for myself - and I found something that I wanted for myself, while noting that the pop-culture nature of the artwork - that people that come to Ain't It Cool News may in fact be as amused and interested in the artwork to look at or purchase - and I don't see so much as a percentage. Hmmmm...

LOVE old Twilight Zone by password.swordfish	Apr 2nd, 2009 06:20:25 PM
Just recently been watching old eps online and what a brilliant show. I don't know, Dr. DirtyD, anything related to quality like the Twilight Zone is cooler to me than whatever rat shit Michael Bay is doing now (it's all pretty interchangeable rat shit - and yes, that does include the first Transformers, aka rat shit).
JuanSanchez by HEADGEEK	Apr 2nd, 2009 06:24:41 PM
Doesn't cost a cent to look
Robotic A-team by password.swordfish	Apr 2nd, 2009 06:31:54 PM
Is awesome! So many good shows in there, although Urkel is likely to give me nightmares (because of how scary that pic is, and because now I remember Urkel).
simply put by telly1138	Apr 2nd, 2009 06:32:57 PM
Harry's fucking sight. He can post pictures of this afternoon's BM if he wants. Because it's his site.
Has this guy been busted for IP violations? by CerebralAssassin	Apr 2nd, 2009 06:39:46 PM
C'mon intellectual property lawyers...let him have it!
That painting by nyj_et	Apr 2nd, 2009 06:43:22 PM
is cooler news than Jetfire looking like Macross in the next Transformers movie. So get off Harry's back.
THE TWILIGHT ZONE IS THE BEST TV SHOW EVER MADE!!!FACT!!! by THEFUCKINGCREEPYTHINMAN	Apr 2nd, 2009 07:44:46 PM

Cerebral- good question by YackBacker	Apr 2nd, 2009 07:45:47 PM
Nothing on their website seems to indicate they has licensing agreements with any of these properties. They may have them, but then again, they might not.
NO ONE HAS THE MONEY TO BUY THIS FUCKING SHIT KNOWLES...... by THEFUCKINGCREEPYTHINMAN	Apr 2nd, 2009 07:52:17 PM
Maybe you do since it's clear that the studio's have been handing you envelopes of cash since you started this fucking site but the rest of us plebs have little things to pay for like, say, rent, food, phone, internet, car insurance, gas, school, textbooks, you know, all that shit you avoided by becoming Hollywood’s tubby little bitch. I hope you fucking choke the next time your beard fills your trough with Twinkies.
Very cool. by Kid Idioteque	Apr 2nd, 2009 08:03:36 PM
The Twilight Zone is under appreciated. BEST. SHOW. EVER.
Calm down people by Jinxo	Apr 2nd, 2009 08:25:55 PM
What the hey? Some folks need to calm down. Who said you had to buy anything? Yes, they art is for same but you can also just look for the love of Mike. Like an online walk through a trippy pop art gallery. If someone took you to an art gallery in real life, would you get into a snit over the fact that the art was for sale or yell at your friend that you had no money to buy anything. No. Unless you're an ass. You'd walk around and enjoy checking out the art.
The problem is Harry whores this site out so much... by BMacSmith	Apr 2nd, 2009 08:37:08 PM
its hard to tell what he's been payed for and what he hasn't. thanks to his long history of ads diguised as stories, bluray/HDDVD pushing, and positive reviews in return for access, the opinions and integrity of this site is worth exactly jack shit.
BMacSmith by HEADGEEK	Apr 2nd, 2009 09:05:14 PM
You know - people like you cause the most laughs I get. The only ADS as STORIES that I see anything at all from are the DVD column - and I'm very upfront about it. In America - there's no harm in making a disclosed profit. BluRay and HD-DVD never have paid me a dime to promote their brands - I do so because they are superior products with which to watch film at home. That's not up for debate, they're the best. Far better than HD cable. And as for "Positive reviews for access" - There is no statements or deals that any site that I know of makes that works in this manner. Studios grant access to sets, actors, talent, etc - because when you write those articles in advance of a film's release... the set visits are almost always positive, because at that point - the work you see is limited and always looks good. By the time you can see a film - that's the end of it all. The only "DEAL" that any reviewer makes with studios is if the studio shows you the movie early - and you like/love the movie, you can write or review that film instantly - but if you hate it or dislike it - you can review the film the day of release, like regular reviewers. This has been the "rule" going back pretty much forever. Ebert, Kael and many others have all agreed to this same policy. Feel free to be a doubting Thomas - that's fine, if our positions were reversed I'd probably call you a shill if I didn't know you. My money doesn't come from Studios saying, "Love this or else" - it comes from Ad revenue on AICN - which comes from a third party ad firm. And a 9000 acre ranch I have in North Texas. And that's a fact.
after years of talkbacks, harry.. by soup74	Apr 2nd, 2009 09:26:06 PM
are you really surprised a few bitter people feel the need to bitch that you showed us an awesome art gallery? you should even bother defending yourself. its not like the whiney bunch are going to all of a sudden say.."hey you're right, i was wrong." anyway, if i won the lottery i think i would buy almost every piece for my gallery. (this is, of course, after i win the lottery.) as it is, i think i may buy the second small wonder print. (although both are cool) it's only $30 for an awesome image of her destroying a suburb. after that, i think i would save up for the 'it's always sunny in Philadelphia' one
edit.. by soup74	Apr 2nd, 2009 09:26:42 PM
you "shouldnt" bother defending yourself.
NO soup74, I THINK KNOWLES DOES NEED TO DEFEND HIMSELF..... by CreepyThinMansPreciousLittleLife	Apr 2nd, 2009 10:40:21 PM
This site used to be great back in the days when AICN used to post all sorts of tidbits of great info and early reviews. Now Knowles and Co. can’t be bothered to update the fucking site on a regular basis, they actually subject themselves to embargo’s in the case of Watchmen and every other post is about shit that we should buy through this site which is now saturated with advertisements. Harry has become exactly like those lapdog stenographers who sat in the White House press room for the 7 years after 9/11 and took it in the ass from Bushco. because they were afraid of losing their access. Not that Harry ever had an integrity in the first place, I mean, Christ you can go back to 98 and see how he took Armageddon and Godzilla in both pipes because the studio’s threw him some attention and pwesants i.e. payoffs in the form of tickets/free trips to the premieres and freebies. But the studios aren’t that accommodating now are they Knowles? They know that sites like AICN and CHUD represent only a small fraction of the movie going audience and only stoop to waste their time with you when they have geek heavy properties like Watchmen who don’t have much traction in the mainstream. But I’m betting that Knowles isn’t getting as much attention from the studio’s to promote this summers top films like Harry Potter, Transformers, Star Trek, Terminator, G.I. Joe ain’t that right Harry? They show you a sliver of footage, let you speak to the Directors/Writers for five minutes and will send an early print to Austin which is all they need to butter up Jabba the Knowles to get a full on sloppy blowjob from AICN. They’re on to your game and know how to play you. About the only thing Harry knows how to do anymore is ban people. Fuck knows he ain’t delivering any cool news these days.
okay fine, but.. by soup74	Apr 2nd, 2009 10:53:13 PM
sure, if harry just got back from a studio paid trip from Miami, then told us all that "weekend at bernies 3: a whole new corpse" was a groundbreaking laugh riot.. then yeah, rip him a new one. but whats the point of freaking out over a tiny post about some cool art that is related to Television. maybe you think its shilling, or not interested, but i fucking was. i spent a good 30 minutes looking over all the paintings that i found enjoyable. DONE. end of story. no one got hurt. anybody who didnt care could have just skipped the link.
YOU WANT COOL? CHECK OUT THE TAUNTAUN SLEEPING BAG!!! by CreepyThinMansPreciousLittleLife	Apr 2nd, 2009 11:13:05 PM
http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff /41/tauntaun.html
honest criticism harry by drturing	Apr 2nd, 2009 11:16:25 PM
any long time reader knows you post what you post unashamedly, unapologetically. but brass tacks: no real scoops here in a long time. merrick is an awfully out of his depth writer who has no voice, wit, or even posts anything that relevant other than recycled news. the real lifeblood of the site has sadly become talkback. we're missing eloquent, passionate writing about geek love, and it's been awhile since you had a set visit that really felt like something you couldn't get anywhere else. i've been here forever, i read this site every day, but honestly lately it's getting weird. i'm not saying you're shilling at all, but there's strange mixed messages, weird posts that don't feel pertinent, and the lifeblood has become talkback, which is fuelled on anonymous powergrabs.
you got me there... by soup74	Apr 3rd, 2009 12:41:50 AM
the tauntaun sleeping bag was cool. got some more?
i dont know, but the talkbacks are always good by BMacSmith	Apr 3rd, 2009 01:10:55 AM
glad i make you laugh.
but when you give your best buds automatic good reviews by BMacSmith	Apr 3rd, 2009 01:14:00 AM
i call bullshit.
Some of it is cool, by Dingbatty	Apr 3rd, 2009 03:12:21 AM
but isn't this akin to downloading a movie, or stealing IP? Fair use, maybe, but they are intending on making money from it...
Did you have permission to place that clip? by silentbobafett2	Apr 3rd, 2009 03:18:32 AM

Harry, People Are Going to Call You a Whore by kevinwillis.net	Apr 3rd, 2009 04:24:13 AM
No matter what you do. It's because they secretly lust for you and wish you were a man-whore, so one day they could earn enough to pay you for your sweet loving. That's what it's all about with these folks, and everybody knows it. BTW, don't get on the ship. To Serve Man? It's a cookbook.
BMacSmith by HEADGEEK	Apr 3rd, 2009 04:41:04 AM
well - my buds that make movies make awesome ones.
by Burnam	Apr 3rd, 2009 06:10:04 AM
i think that's awesome. would like to see more by that artist. that episode was dope too.
Let me tell you something by perromaldito	Apr 3rd, 2009 06:30:25 AM
Harry can be a sellout or not, but that art is pretty sweet and i thank him for showing it to us. I specially like the Saved by the Bell one with Screech going all columbine on his mates, i pissed my pants!, its weird cause i downloaded the first 3 seasons recently and i´ve been laughing my ass off watching those stoned out of my mind, how could we look up to those guys!!! hahaha slater???
So, uh, AICN is now a late night infomertial TV channel? by ricarleite2	Apr 3rd, 2009 06:56:05 AM

Disappointed by rev_skarekroe	Apr 3rd, 2009 06:59:39 AM
I thought this was going to be about the old Alex Winter TV show.
It's not about Harry profiting or not. by ricarleite2	Apr 3rd, 2009 07:04:58 AM
I don't care. It's about stories that are product advertisements, instead of movies and TV reviews, news and scoops. You don't have to post something everyday.
Was Gumby fucking Pokey? by BurnHollywood	Apr 3rd, 2009 07:14:06 AM
Huh. That Urkel was pretty intense. I'm sure some father-hating Goth chick's going to get that tattooed on her arm somewhere so people can walk by and say, "Oh, Jeezus...you've got really horrible psoriasis on your shoulder...OH WAIT it's Urkel. I guess that's better."
shit is bananas by fivezero	Apr 3rd, 2009 08:04:53 AM
i especally liked the 8-bit rendering of Screech killing his Bayside friends. And the Macguyver figure. awesome post!
It's cool but not $400 worth of cool. by alienindisguise	Apr 3rd, 2009 05:11:30 PM
That's steep for a Ren and Stimpy style piece.
CerebralAssassin... by Sith Witch	Apr 3rd, 2009 06:13:01 PM
There are no copyright issues when it comes to works of art displayed in gallery settings or sold as an individual piece. Thank Warhol for helping to open that door for us!
"well - my buds that make movies make awesome ones." by BMacSmith	Apr 3rd, 2009 10:04:43 PM
finish that thought: "and even when they don't, i write gushing reviews of their movies anyway, because I dont care what my word is worth." "and the directors that won't talk to me? chances are very high I won't like your film at all." there is more than one form of access, and you'll do anything for it, even sell-out.
Ya gotta hand it to Harry by RickyRetardo	Apr 4th, 2009 08:31:24 PM
Where the fuck else can a man express hisself, give a link for some cool artwork and then get lambasted by a bunch of shit slingers, and still allow their shit to be posted??!!?? fuckin' AICN, that's where! BTW, yeah, it's overpriced.
