What is Ain't It Cool News?
1.
An old, outdated movie site that has now become an informal forum of talkbackers not yet cognizant of other, better sites and forums. Hasn't had a good exclusive or scoop since before the millennium. Is run by a notoriously shady character whose power in Hollywood has massively diminished over the years. The failed screenwriter Drew "Moriarty" McWeeney has left to join another site that will fail inside of the year.
"Ain't It Cool News is still around? Huh."

2.
The original movie geek site. Run by Harry "Head Geek" Knowles, his LA correspondent Drew "Moriarty" McWeeny (I know), and their unidentified protege Quint. Employs spies from across the world, who give scoops to movie geeks about that they can expect from upcoming movies, and will often drive Hollywood execs nuts by revealing secret plot points or set pics very early in the filming process. Their message boards are home to the infamous talk-backers.
AICN is one of the coolest sites on the net.
