Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with the dubious pleasure of informing you folks about the AICN screening of SHAUN OF THE DEAD next week (Wednesday, Sept. 1st). You've seen us jizzing all over this movie for months and months. Now you US people are going to be able to see it for yourselves (those of you cool enough to wait for a theatrical experience, that is!) and see if we're full of crap or not. I'm betting you're going to love it just as much as I do.
Anyway, tickets are available over at the Alamo Drafthouse's website (CLICK IT HERE, YOU SNEAKY MONKEYS!) and are very reasonably priced! I'm telling you... You don't want to miss this screening if you can help it. Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Edgar Wright will be on hand and I hear that Edgar likes to give out handjobs if you ask him nicely, so that's a plus...
Seriously, this would be like seeing AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON almost a month early with David Naughton, Griffin Dunne and John Landis onhand to gush at live and in person. On top of that, I can vouche for Simon and Edgar being the coolest cats as I spent a good deal of time hanging out with them at Comic-Con. This Nick Frost fella is supposed to be sweet as well and I'm dying to meet him!
Not to be outdone by Moriarty's LA screening, I think there may be some wandering dead in Austin, too, plus some other surprises. I can't recommend this enough, folks.
For those not lucky enough to be in Austin next week, never fear! There will be sneak peeks all around America on the 17th. Here is a list of cities that'll host the sneaks:

The flick comes out Sept. 24th and I'm hoping that it'll be a smash hit and encourage more of its type! Hope to see many of you at the Austin event! Fun times will be had by all!!!
