UPDATED! Wanna see Steve Coogan's HAMLET 2? Going to Comic-Con? Then I got a contest for ya'!

Holy crap, that was fast. I stepped away from my computer for 20 minutes and I have an inbox filled with ROCK ME SEXY QUINT messages... not that that's an uncommon sight... eh...

Guess I need to go tougher on the trivia questions next time.

I'll email all the winners separately, but here's the list of the lucky 10:

Wajahat Ali
Tait Hove
Sean Novak
Greg Adkins
Jeff Howell
Brett Rader
John McCracken
John Hudgens
Lars Schear
Chuck Belcher


The answers to the trivia questions are below in red text! Thanks for all those who entered! Sorry it was over so quickly!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. We have a few contests hitting the page very soon, a couple of them having to do with ticket giveaways for this year's San Diego Comic-Con. I'll be there with bells on and this year I'll be joined by Mr. Beaks and Capone in an official capacity and I'm hearing word that the evil doctor might slink out of the labs to make an appearance as well.

Sometime in the next week or so I'll be hitting you guys with a big ticket giveaway for Mutant Chronicles, but today I'm starting with a smaller giveaway. I only have 10 tickets to HAMLET 2, each good for two people, but you not only get a ticket for the screening, but also a Hamlet 2 prize pack that includes a T-shirt, wristbands and a Rock Me Sexy Jesus Doll.

The screening will be Saturday evening, July 26th, somewhere in the Gaslamp district (walking distance from the convention center). I'm hearing Steve Coogan will be at the Con promoting the flick, so he may show at the screening, too... I've not heard that from anybody official, but I'd say there's a decent chance.

Anybody attending the con is eligible, but what I need for you to do is email me at quint@aintitcool.com with the subject line ROCK ME SEXY QUINT and the correct answers to a few trivia questions below and your mailing address.

The first 10 people to email me with the correct answers, correct subject line (if it's not copied exactly the email will go into the wrong folder and be out of contention) and an address get the ticket and prize pack.

Q1: Steve Coogan is famous for playing a fictional talk show host in the UK. What's his name? Alan Partridge

Q2: Elisabeth Shue is in HAMLET 2. Who does she play? Elisabeth Shue (herself)

Q3: I developed an unhealthy crush on Shue in a 1987 theatrical feature... name the feature and also name her co-star that has the same last name as her co-star in Hamlet 2. Adventures In Babysitting, Keith Coogan

Q4: Alas Poor Yorick... What was Yorick's profession in the original Shakespeare play? Jester

Q5: Speaking of Yorick, what is Yorick’s monkey’s name in Y: The Last Man by Brian K. Vaughn? Ampersand

Q6: In the play Hamlet 2, Coogan's character solves the problem of sequelizing material in which everybody dies by using time travel. Name me the actress who appeared in two different time travel films, one an underseen 1979 classic and the other a 1990 sequel, and name me the films. Mary Steenburgen, Time After Time and Back To The Future III

That’s it.

Keep in mind that if you win a pair of tickets that doesn't guarantee entrance. You still need to show up early to make sure you get in, but it's worth it. The movie's really damn funny.

I’ll be sure to update the story when I have all 10 winners. Good luck!
