And that kind of Hollywood "gerrymandering" can strike non-Hollywood folks the wrong way. I think it's stale and think it's hilarious that you guys are trying to somehow shame me about that opinion
hollywood "gerrymandering"? i don't even know what that is.
the name is simply a marketing tool. To say the movie looks unoriginal simply because of the title just seems dumb. Now, if you were to say "another heist movie!" bleh! Okay... you're sick of the genre.
but this just seems like a petty reason to dismiss the entire movie as out of hand because Universal is scared to put a movie like this out there without people getting the idea of what type of movie it's going to be.
think of the Ocean's title as a brand. You don't have a problem with the Marvel brand/shared universe, right? This is just another studio attempting to do the same thing with their IP.
