Does anyone else think this hook isn't a good idea? EEng (talk) 03:25, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

It would be nice if you provided a reason, but for what it's worth I've just added an ALT2. 97198 (talk) 03:29, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

Because we shouldn't be touting a recent film on MP based on the opinions of 142 self-selected anonymous people. EEng (talk) 04:34, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

I think you meant to type 146 named professional film critics selected by the website, but you know. 97198 (talk) 05:34, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

Really? Oh fuck. Oops. Uh oh. I think I was thinking of something else. Never mind. Sorry. EEng (talk) 05:40, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

I think ALT2 is better anyway. I think a DYK should be about something not readily apparent or widely known. Anyone with Gmail is likely to have seen the original hook pop up in their text ad feed in the last year or two. —/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 02:39, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

Agreed (not that I have any remaining credibility in this discussion). EEng (talk) 03:40, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

I was going to review this a couple of days ago and got distracted, but I also find the original hook to be pretty uninteresting. ALT2 is much better suited as a DYK. CR4ZE (t • c) 13:25, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

Full review needed. (For what it's worth, I think ALT2 is much more interesting than the others.) Note that there are two bare URL references that will need to be fixed before this can be given final approval. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:58, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

All three hooks check out and I think we can allow the promoter to choose (not everyone has the same gmail profile for ads). All well cited except for the plot summary but thats OK. There is no image. Its a GA and it has lots of creditted quotes so paraphrasing is tricky to spot, but I didn't. Positive view of movie is well supported by refs. I've not seen this movie and I think thats the main mistake. I'll fix that. Thanks for this. Victuallers (talk) 08:48, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
