Eric the Marxist Posted August 23 Author Share Posted August 23 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firepower Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 (edited) 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. Edited August 23 by Firepower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is actual negative reviews were too wordy/verbose to put into a trailer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 I think "no reason for its lavish existence other than the greediness of its makers" for Godfather II is pithy enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WittyUsername Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Film Score Fan Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don;t handle a film like this the way you do most films, but yeah, they need a trailer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OncomingStorm93 Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Alternatively, make the entire marketing campaign about how the film is literally and comprehensively unmarketable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
