"Release" at private screening
[edit]The definition of Release at Wikipedia: "the PUBLIC distribution of a film". A PRIVATE screening is by definition not PUBLIC. So the private screening during Cannes Festival cannot be a release. --88.78.7.73 (talk) 22:11, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
Reddit response section
[edit]This article previously included a section on the 'ironic response' to the film on the website reddit, where the film apparently became a meme. I removed this as it seemed like basically trivia without a proper reliable source. Looking at the history, this section has been removed a few times previously, but keeps getting re-added by User:MidwoodMartin. Perhaps we can discuss it here rather than reverting again?
Internet reactions to a film are sometimes worth noting, where they become significant enough to attract coverage from elsewhere; Rampart (film) is an example where the article mentions a controversy it provoked on reddit, with proper sourcing. But I don't see anything of the kind here. Robofish (talk) 21:50, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
I agree we should discuss it rather than removing and deleting it. What I don't agree with is that KnowYourMeme isn't a proper source. It's secondary, well sourced and widely read. The Gotti meme in particular also spread onto Letterboxd and twitter. In fact, here is a Buzzfeed Article that quotes someone discussing it. "
I think it's relevant enough to the movie. Someone could be reading an ironic response about it somewhere and not know what it is about. The page here could inform him about it. I think both the KnowYourMeme and BuzzFeed Articles suffice with regards to sourcing, and I don't see the Gotti meme as any less relevant than the Rampart one.
