Attack of the Clones Leaked

dgris writes "ain't it cool is running a purported review of Epidsode II. Harry Knowles is claiming to have gotten a secret screening of the film while at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, TX. Short story: he loves it." Like the department sez: I'll believe it when I see it. After Phantom, I'm willing to wait a bit to see it.

pretty reliable...

I've been a follower of Harry for many years. When he was an unknown, he was a fantastic source for Episode I rumors. Now that he is 'famous' his connections have increased exponentially, and I find their reviews and rumors to be pretty reliable. I don't doubt he got to see it. A months ago they had a full script review and, surprise, the newest trailer confirms what they wrote. As to whether its any good, I have to agree with a previous poster that many reviews are more fanboy slobbering than reviews, but I'm a fanboy so I usually aggree with what they say!

I don't know Harry personally, but I'm a long-time reader of AICN. IMO, Harry's got a lot more integrity than that. I would find it very hard to believe that Harry faked a review.

Well don't know him either and I don't care much for this review. But talking about Knowles, AICN and integrity, well that might be a bit of a stretch. Do you remember the OScar debacle from a few years ago or his apperance on Politically Incorrect. You should read the articles on Film Threat about him and some of his associates:

DECONSTRUCTING HARRY: AIN'T IT UNETHICAL? (part one)
THE GEEKS STRIKE BACK: DECONSTRUCTING HARRY (part two)
AIN'T IT CRIMINAL: DECONSTRUCTING HARRY (part 3)
AIN'T-HE-A-FOOL: JUDGMENT DAY FOR JOE HALLENBECK
AIN'T IT BACKLASH: HARRY GOES ON TV, BUT TV GOES OFF ON HARRY
HARRY & ME

I mean if is willing to pimp a script from one of his friends without telling anyone, it's abit of a stretch to talk about integrity and his site. Maybe instead of begging for presents he should put ads like Slashdot.

Harry needs another spanking

Guess the first and even the second weren't enough for him.

One reason to see a film early in its run is the quality of the print. The print degrades with each showing due to scratches, wear and breakage.
