I wouldn’t call it astroturfy but its so weird to me. Like nobody is walking around being like “The new PS5 weighs 7.5 pounds and has 139 miles of copper in its motherboard!” repeatedly for weeks. (I made up the amount of copper, but the weight is correct.)
Movies are getting really long and I don’t know if I like it. I watched Across the Spider-verse recently which was I think 2.5 hours. To be fair it was a fantastic 2.5 hours, but every other movie in the theater was 2 hours plus and one was over 200 minutes long. Half of them were animated, which are usually on the short side and for good reason, because there’s never any real meat to the story (Spider-verse again being the exception). Sometimes you just want a relaxed 1 hour 20 minute story; not every film has to be this gigantic grand experience.
If this movie was 120 minutes or less I’d see it. I cannot imagine there being 3 hours worth of stuff that I need to know about that guy… not happening!
Ya this feels really astroturfy. Are they bragging that the movie is really long?
I feel like you don’t know what astroturfing is. This is just straight up promotional marketing for a movie coming out next week.

Wow only 7.5 pounds, I have to get one now.

Do you know “The Ten Commandments” or “Ben Hur”? Or perhaps such monumental comedy productions as “The Hallelujah Trail”? It’s always been a thing
I’ll add The Godfather, Casino, Braveheart and Lord of The Rings to fill in some of the gap between then and now
Ikr l, watched spider verse a few days ago, awesome movie but I just was like, get this over with I’m falling asleep
