No shite Sherlock, but if you want asses in the seats, you have to give people a reason to put their arse there. In a shite economy with movie tickets hitting $10 a pop for just a basic matinee in big cities, people aren't going to see a movie unless they feel that their time and money will be well spent.

Alfonso Cuaron doesn't get that benefit in the general public like a Spielberg or Nolan or hell even Michael Bay and JJ Abrams do.

Clooney is well liked and respected in Hollywood circles and in the Northeast, but the sun belt and Heartland could give a shite about him.

Sandra Bullock has never been an A-list talent or draw. Her audience pull and pool is very limited.

Reality is starting to set in for you that it's actually a truly great movie, so you're now resorting to attacking the marketing before the film is even released. The word of mouth will be highly positive of this and I honestly expect it to do better the next weekend than this one. It will make its budget back for sure. I love how you're being such a tool in rooting against it.

You're the guy that called me out for judging Don Jon by the trailer, yet now you think

quote:
Trailers for movies are just like ads for other products. If the company doesn't do enough to get me interested in the product, then why the hell should I waste my time going out and giving them the benefit of the doubt?

At least your reasoning is consistently inconsistent.
