Talk:Get Out

Being John Malkovich Theory

I've got no real passion for this theory one way or another. However, we had a situation at Being John Malkovich where it was covered in as many words as the reception of that movie and it was not covered here at all. It was attempted to be removed there in February which was reverted by Masem. My thinking is that this theory is either notable and should be covered in roughly an equivalent manner in both articles, which is what I attempted to do here, or it should not be covered in either article. Personally, without having dived too deeply into the conversation, I'm in favor of option B. Will post something at the BJM talk page to see if a single conversation could be had.

I think it should be excluded from both articles. My reasons are the same as the ones I gave in the previous discussion on this talk page, but here they are again:

• This is a fan theory, and is described as such by sources. Get Out was never conceived as a sequel to Being John Malkovich or thought of as such until after the film was released.
• Sources describe the theory as "hilarious", indicating that it is not to be taken seriously. Cinema Blend describes it as "one of the goofier" fan theories.
• Peele is clearly being tongue in cheek when he says: "I also sat down with [Being John Malkovich director] Spike Jonze a couple months ago, told him this theory myself and he chuckled. So as far as I’m concerned, it’s true." He is endorsing it as a fun interpretation of the film. That's it. Popcornduff (talk) 05:01, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

Agreed with removal unless there's any evidence that this is anything more than a fan theory. DonIago (talk) 14:29, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

Page Move

This article was moved by Scott Sullivan 1997 to Get Out (2017 film) with the edit summary Matches Us (2019 film). I have moved it back per WP:DAB as we don't need to disambiguate in this case. Noting here in case others wish to weigh in or Scott would like to start a more formal RM to change the name. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 14:50, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

No need for the move. Popcornduff (talk) 14:58, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

Themes Edit From 2019

A little over a year ago a user by the name Zelchenko made an edit using a source he himself obviously authored and published on wordpress, yet it still stands unabated. Seems pretty obvious that that isn't a reliable source, so does anyone want to explain why it has been up so long?
