Uncut Gems (Safdie Brothers, December 13, 2019) Movie • Page 3

Lol right, exactly

 

I 100% can see people seeing something because an actor is in it and being let down it’s not what they expected but ‘bait and switch’ implies the directors were malicious about it or something, haha

 

If in 2019 you aren't at least looking up a trailer or a synopsis before you hit the theater, I don't know what to say

 

I would, however, love to see a studio cast like six huge stars and plaster all marketing with their faces and scenes and then MacGruber kill them all off in the first ten minutes of the movie and the rest of the movie is something completely different.

 

yeah if someone sees Drive because Ryan Gosling is in it and doesn't like it it's not the director's fault that it's not for them, also movie stars seem to like making introspective indies and I don't want to be like no Zach Galifianakis you are the Hangover guy no Baskets or It's Kind Of A Funny Story

 

Audiences Riled Up Over 'Greenberg' - ComingSoon.net

The original photo link doesn't work, but there are more examples. I remember all of the walkouts during Spring Breakers pretty well too. A couple storming out during The Master, friends mad that I brought them to see The Tree of Life. A video store clerk warning my mother back in 2002 not to watch Punch-Drunk Love because it wasn't what she thought I thought it was.

 

Do you think most people do that? Even so, a trailer is literally a commercial for a film, so it is designed to appeal to as many people as possible.

The experience is amplified more when it goes to home release. Listen to people huddled around your local Wal-Mart Redbox and their experience is very different than trailers and a plot detail.

 

the first Ad Astra trailer was definitely a bait & switch. they changed it up for the following ones, but that first one really felt like a different thing than what we got.

 

Even the trailers they showed before Ad Astra seemed aimed toward general audiences. Jumanji, Star Wars, etc. I’m sure some people were definitely mislead thinking they might see Mad Max on the moon from the rover scene in the trailer.

Also know for sure people were fooled by Tree of Life if the audience feedback corkboard in my theater back then was any indication lol

 

idk man. me and my wife were discussing this in the car on the way back after seeing it. maybe i expected one or two more “chase” or whatever scenes but the general tone is kinda what both of us expected, especially if you know anything from james gray at all.

 

I don't really see how Tetra's point is confusing at all. There will be a decent number of people who see this because Sandler is in it, probably screaming, and will have no idea who the Safdie's are and will be disappointed.

EDIT:
Lol judging by Youtube comments, there might be more people going in to see this for The Weeknd than there are for Sandler

 

This and The Lighthouse are easily my two most anticipated films the rest of the way.

 

I saw Spring Breakers on opening night. Because there were Disney stars on the poster, this dad was there with what looked like his 14 year old daughter and her friends. Even though it was an R rating, it did not deter him. They ended up walking out in the first five minutes, with the montage of drugs and naked women during the dubstep song.

 

I know what he means but the ‘bait and switch’ comment implied a malicious intent that they were purposefully trying to trick people into seeing it by casting well known stars, which isn’t true.

 

Sure, not by directors, but by the ad agencies paid to get people into theaters. It'd be silly to not plaster Sandler's ridiculous face all over. It's not malicious, it's business

 

It truly is a perfect film

 

Unless you were a cinephile who knew who the Safdies were, you would think it is a typical Sandler film.

 

FUCK

 

Sure, I understand that and it’s not a big deal or anything, but the directors were mentioned in the original post and not the marketing.

Again, no biggie, it was clarified later, I was just explaining why I and others were originally questioning it.

 

That’s gonna be a big yes from me

 

hell yes

 

Was already in, but even more amped now.

 

wow man

 

to be fair, i got tetra’s point entirely, i was just saying i don’t think the trailer for ad astra hid the ball at all. the movie felt pretty true to the footage we saw.

anyways, i am excited for this movie thanks
