Notes:
- Earwig pops up with an IMDB user review but it was written after the plot summary here. Otherwise just quotes, so no copyvio issues.
- Generally complies well with MOS guidelines on fiction; the distinction between the fictional and real world is very clear.
- Is Film Music Reporter a RS? Seems to be a SPS to me, looking at their website, though I'm not familiar with the topic area. Otherwise, sourcing is good.
- Film Music Reporter is reliable (see this discussion from April 2021). Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 20:10, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
Plot:
- Plot summary is of a reasonable length (607 words).
- Link cantina
- "and they are forced to leave it" - consider removing "they"
- I'm a bit confused about how Macho comes in at the end - this is the rooster, right? Did Rafo bring Macho along with him? Some clarification is probably warranted here.
Background:
- "N. Richard Nash's Macho was a screenplay rejected twice by 20th Century Fox in the 1970s." Can this be rewritten to avoid passive tone?
- The source doesn't mention Fox specifically, and says "I sold the rights to one", not several - should be corrected.
Production:
- "that same month" - could the specific date (17th) be added?
- "In an interview, Eastwood recalled several aspects of the production, including rehiring a young cast member who had received a false positive for the coronavirus and the many difficulties of filming scenes with Macho, the rooster in the film, who was played by 11 birds." is a pretty long and unwieldy sentence - could it be split?
- "and said the wrangler was worried." - add "that" between "said" and "the"
- Rework the quote incorporation so that Eastwood isn't referred to as both "he" and "I" in the same sentence.
Release and marketing:
- "In a statement" specify "to EW"
- "Reactions to the trailers were positive; while" - I don't know if "while" is the best word here since the reactions aren't entirely contrary to each other.
Reception:
- "Analytics" - which analytics? From what institution?
- "Comscore analytic" - should be "Comscore analyst"
- "in its third" - "on its third"
- Any reason that the ticket price is compared to those two films in particular?
- They came out the same month. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 20:10, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
- Not an issue - just curious, but is including the demographics typical for film articles?
- Yes (see Baby Driver, a featured article). Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 20:10, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
- Any data on which specific foreign markets it was popular in?
- Replace the idiom "raising the stakes" (MOS:WTW)
That's it for my comments; a generally nice and well-written article. @Some Dude From North Carolina: Putting on hold for now. eviolite (talk) 17:20, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
