My response to this Singer Interview on Superman Returns... nevermind

Mar 27, 2011 01:56

I just found this interview by Ed Gross with Bryan Singer over at "Voices of Krypton" about Superman Returns and I just felt I had to respond to it. However, I'm going to sit on it for a bit. I need to go back and rethink and organize my thoughts better. If I was to post it not as it sits all it would end up being is a rambling rant and I don't ( Read more... )

I wasn't going to hit on this topic in great detail. TBACH, it wasn't just the fanboys but this fangirl as well. And there has been studies that show that women are more social when it comes to marketing. Get one female interested and they go with their gal friends that might have been kind of "meh" about the subject matter but curious as well (the kind that might have waited to see it on video, if at all) and if one of them liked it enough they would go with their outward circle of friends and so on. By losing one fangirl you lose out on all those possibilities. By eschewing too much one way in an attempt to reach that segment he lost out on a major marketing opportunity ( ... )
