Dwayne Johnson, Chris Evans, Lucy Liu, and J. K. Simmons? A lot of agents are probably going to get fired, because this looks pretty meh. Still might watch it.

It is so far off the beaten track for holiday shows that it’ll either land perfectly and the 20-and 30-somethings whose taste in film is centered in the MCU and similar will love it. Or it’ll sink like stone on day 3. One thing’s for sure; geezers and traditionalists aren’t the target market. Unrelated to the above: IMO planning to release a silly fantabulist film just about election time will either be a stroke of genius itself as everyone is seeking relief from the crazy, or it’ll also sink like a stone as everyone is too glued to the news to think of anything else. So two kinds of double-or-nothing ---

That’s an algorithmically determined cast, I reckon. ---

I like the polar bear and the snowmen better than the cast. This will be a money maker, but not a Christmas classic. And @LSLGuy has it right, we are not the target audience. ---

I’m always kind of curious when people post messages saying “A new trailer has just come out!” Where are people seeing these trailers? I used to see trailers in movie theatres, but sometimes people post a trailer for a TV series. Are they seeking them out on the internet? ---

> [@hogarth](#): > > Are they seeking them out on the internet? Perhaps, but more likely it’s algorithmic advertising. Once you’ve trained e.g. YouTube, that you like watching movie trailers by clicking on 2 or 3 presented at random or referred by friends, pretty soon you’ll be offered every new one that comes out. ---

Actually, it occurred to me that I see ads for movies fairly regularly, but I don’t really think of them as “trailers” and I generally try to tune out all kinds of ads. I still haven’t seen a trailer for a TV series in the wild, though (as far as I know?). ---

I do like to watch movie trailer reactions, so that may have caused it. ---

I don’t know. I think even they would look at the trailer and say “The Rock is cool, but that looks really stupid. Let’s watch Fast and Furious 22 again.” ETA: the Christmas theme would turn off action movie fans and the violence would turn off Christmas movie fans. I mean I am a 4th or 5th grade boy in my taste sometimes, and would not watch that. ---
