Peter Jackson, Guillermo Del Toro Back Controversial Harry Knowles Kickstarter

September 4th - via: deadline.com
Ain’t It Cool News blogger Harry Knowles already has a polarizing rep for getting chummy with the makers of the movies he covers. Now Peter Jackson is the latest high profile filmmaker to throw his support behind a crowdfunding campaign to raise $100K for Knowles’ fanboy talk show. In a video posted today, the Hobbit helmer urges backers to contribute to Knowles’ Kickstarter which is just about $18K shy with a day left to reach its goal. I hear Jackson has not made an official monetary donation to the campaign but other directors including Rian Johnson, Eli Roth, and Guillermo del Toro have backed the project, with del Toro notably donating $5K to the cause. (Read More)

Let's KICKSTART The Second Season of AIN'T IT COOL With Harry Knowles!!!

August 6th - via: aintitcool.com
Hey folks, Harry here... For the past 10 months I've paid the studio rental fee out of my own pocket to just preserve the "Basement Set" intact from the first season of AIN'T IT COOL With Harry Knowles, which ran under the warm cuddly banner of NERDIST! Even though we were one of their more popular shows and even nominated for Best Writing for a Web Series... We were not picked up due to a direction shift from show creation to a more viral video focused mindset. That isn't really what our show was about. (Read More)
