Congratulations to all you lucky assholes who are on that wonderful, wonderful list. I'm crossing my fingers like Gary Burghoff that I'm on the standby list, and if not, I'm going to be the disheveled bum camped outside the theatre for the standby line.

So again, congrats to Devin, Nordling, Beaks, and any other Chewer lucky enough to be on the list.

This is probably the best place to see Watchmen before March, I would have thought. So yeah, fuck yourselves.

I'd prefer to see Watchmen without the musky scent of hundreds of inert, shower-optional fanboys raping my nostrils for a calendar day. (Sour grapes? Sour armpit cheese, more like! amirite...?)

But yeah, other than that, have fun.

Watchmen is a given. Wolverine? Harry Potter? Something from Transformers 2? GI Joe?

What plays well with the X theme ?

The Spirit seems likely. I'm doubtful that Watchmen will be ready, although I'm sure it would be a hit with the attendees.

They've definitely been mixing in more "classy" material lately. Stuff like Waltz with Bashir, Doubt, and Gran Torino. Yes Man probably is also a possibility.

The posters found on Yahoo both have an MPAA rating on them. Either the movie's done, or the posters are fake.

The movie is done. Been done for a while, minus some effects work.

I wish I could go just to see who Flavio Faz IV and Ro Ro De Noie are.

And since they've already had Watchmen screenings, I wouldn't be too surprised if it got played there.

The biggest problem these guys are facing re: BNATX is that if they DON'T have WATCHMEN, no matter how good the rest of the lineup is, people will say it was a disappointment.

And the more they say they don't have WATCHMEN, the more everyone will think they have WATCHMEN.

Can you get (and keep) a rating with incomplete effects work? I thought that if there was a single frame's worth of changes from the version screened for the MPAA, then the rating was null and void.

Considering that Watchmen has already screened, and that Harry got 300 with some unfinished effects for BNAT 8, I really can't imagine them not being able to get Watchmen this year.

I guarantee you though, that if Harry has it or not he will fuck with every single person that asks him about it until it actually screens.

While the amazingness of the New Beverly is the current high bar for theatrical experiences what with the Wright Stuff and the Movie Orgy showing, etc, BNAT is the Holy Grail for me. Goddamn I wanna go.

I was more considering the unfinished special effects work in saying Watchmen isn't finished. Obviously, they can screen it if they choose, and the latest round of news with Zach Snyder preemptively discussing changes to the ending indicates that it will likely get some more screenings soon, only that there are a few downfalls to screening an unfinished version. Getting it would be quite the coup though.

BNAT, for me, is too much fun for me to worry about it. To me, there's no such thing as a disappointing BNAT. There are some that were better than others, to be sure, but I just have such a great time regardless.

Looks like I might be going this year! A couple of friends of mine have an extra ticket and all I'd have to worry about is getting there. Hm. I'm kind of excited.

How's that work if your name isn't on the list? Just be 100% sure you can get in before you make your way to Austin.

Obviously it's too late for this year - but how does one go about getting on the list for next year? I'm not TOO far from Austin and I'd love to attend one of these.

Harry usually announces the specifics ahead of time via AICN and puts up an "application" for prospective attendees.

I brought up the same concerns you guys have when they told me, and apparently it's covered. I'm not one to ask questions when trying to fly under the radar. And worst case scenario is I get there and don't get in, I'll still have a couple of days in Austin with friends I haven't seen in a year. It's win/win to me.

ETA: And now that I've posted my devilish plans on a site the AICN guys read, I'll update from my phone when I get punted from the line.

ETA Part II: Not to mention the fact I've spent my travel budget until the NYCC in February on traveling for Thanksgiving. So, I have a feeling it's all going to be a moot point because I have no money anyways.

Eric, if your friends contact Harry and ask him to switch out a name, I doubt it would be a problem. You likely won't get in the yearbook, though. Just make sure they ask and don't just assume.

One year Harry let someone sell their BNAT ticket on eBay just to see what it would get. I think it topped out at $900.

I wonder how people are going to react when they go there expecting Watchmen but get The Black Freighter instead.

Just a guess.

I'd guess Coraline, since having something in 3D seems Harry's style.

I don't think it could possibly be Wild Things, which as of Moriarty's recent report had approximately one finished effect in terms of the Wild Things and their face movement.
