In one of the more impressive marketing ploys ever done, Kevin “Never-Mad-Online” Connolly has stuck gold again. Telling people who haven’t even seen the movie yet “who do you trust more?!?” is so galaxy brain you just have to respect it. What’s the goal? To convince people they actually already saw it and loved it? Unreal. I’m pretty sure the only people who even saw this movie are the same critics they are trashing in this video.

Their claim of “Audience’s LOVED Gotti!!!” intriguing for more than that reason, though. I noticed yesterday when I was checking Rotten Tomatoes for my blog that they had very weirdly high number of user reviews for a movie that was making no money across only 500 screens. By the time I woke up today, there was already a reddit thread about it. ‘Gotti’ had a really measly opening, but still has over 6900 user reviews. Compare this to, say, ‘Incredibles II’ which set the record for largest opening for an animated movie of all time. They had only a few hundred more, which seems fishy right?
