Not even sure what the goal was here. If you wanted to look for negative review quotes, just go into the archives that these newspapers have that go back decades. It's not that hard.

Or just pull up Peter Griffin’s quote about The Godfather.

Do you think The Godfather insists upon itself, WU?

[Firepower]

It took me less than a minute to search for The Godfather on Rotten Tomatoes and check its negative reviews:

 

Quote

Arthur Schlesinger Jr.Vogue

An overblown, pretentious, slow, and ultimately tedious three-hour quasi-epic.

 

The guy who was so lazy he didn't care to spend miserable 30-40 seconds to look it up deserves to be fired and humiliated, this is just embarrassing. I actually think it would take more time to enter Chat GPT, type search and wait for answer.

Well, I do think it has a valid point to make.

My guess is actual negative reviews were too wordy/verbose to put into a trailer

I think "no reason for its lavish existence other than the greediness of its makers" for Godfather II is pithy enough

I don't think this is what people meant when they said this was a return to old Hollywood

Wow shocking from the guy who at best sounds very John Lasseterish with how he treats women and possibly worse depending on who you talk to.

Buzzwords like "woke" always come out when someone is exposed for being a pos nowadays

I mean there is more shit than bed at this point

 

I'm not surprised he's pulling this at all considering he's said this is inspired by The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand

Coppola’s quote isn’t quite as bad as the headline makes it sound, but I think we should ban creatives from using words like “woke” or “canceled” at this point.

They have been oversued to the point of being meanngless.

Is Lionsgate seriously  considering the possibility of releasing Megalopolis without a final trailer?. Because more than a week has passed since they pulled out the one with the fake quotes. I mean, replacing them with real quotes doesn´t take a week.

 

Very strange. 

 

Unless they are working on a completely new trailer, of course. But even if that´s the case, does it take a whole week?

You don;t handle a film like this the way you do most films, but yeah, they need a trailer.

I mean come on, even Bela Tarr films have a marketing campaign and find an audience. Everything is marketable.

Oh, I absolutely agree, but you do market a serious film like Megalopolis different then you would a CBM movie. They do need a trailer.

Who is in charge of marketing; Coppola;s company or Lionsgate.

If it is Lionsgate they are in trouble, given how crappy it;s marketing for it last few movies had been.

[OncomingStorm93]

Alternatively, make the entire marketing campaign about how the film is literally and comprehensively unmarketable.
