Btw, I forgot to mention that I did my first phone interview for the site yesterday. Was with a site called Film Divider. They're not a huge site just yet, but definitely well-respected. Will post when it goes up, hopefully in the next couple of days.

I'm sorry, what were you interviewing for exactly?

Probably about his website.

Ha, yeah, sorry. Wasn't interviewing for anything. They wanted to interview me about the site, so we did like a half hour Q&A thing yesterday over the phone. Not too in depth, and I have no idea how much they'll use, but it should be good press regardless.

ok, at first I read it as someone was already propositioning you to sell the webpage.

So... How should I ask this... Did... Texags come up?

Yeah. Did they ask about me?

Once the site has been live for a few months, and assuming your predictions are fairly accurate you should have an accuracy percentage displayed.

Disagree with this. Why highlight his wrong projections when that could lead to being a complaint against the site?

Ha. I was honestly prepared to bring it up, but it was pretty surface-level stuff. Never asked me how I came up with the idea, what my background was, what I do, etc. His first question was, "Why did you do this?" and then it just went from there. Talked more about traffic, plans, accuracy of the listings, etc. He called the site a "phenomenon" which was pretty cool to hear, but not all that in-depth overall, which is fine.

Yeah, agreed. I would theoretically have no problem doing this with the theatrical listings, since I'm fairly confident in the vast majority of those, but I'd get killed for the trailer stuff, probably.

Interview is up, and just FYI, it's really, really weird reading yourself answering questions after the fact. That said, I think it turned out pretty well...

Btw, it looks l'm now 2 for 2 on trailer guesses. Was correct on Spy debuting this week, and now The Fantastic Four trailer was just confirmed to debut with Kinsgman: The Secret Service, which I also guessed. Now, if that BvS trailer can just debut with Jupiter Ascending, I'll be golden...

Just wait until you blow up, and then you'll have studio heads and producers saying "****, TPL has Avengers 23 trailer premiering with Taken 12. That wasn't our plan, but now the people are expecting it. **** it. Let's do it"

TC controlling Hollywood.

Ha, if only. Trust me, studios have their own, strict agenda planned down to the letter, months in advance. Every once in a while they'll pull an audible and bend to the will of the audience/expectations, but that's super rare.

Hey TC, I don't know if you saw this Forbes article about the BvS teaser rumors, but I think it's safe to say you are the reason for it.

Crazy. The tweet he links to is El Mayimbe of Latino Review, who got his info from me. So, yeah, between AMC Movie Talk and now FORBES, this has officially blown up. El Mayimbe did say yesterday that he has the trailer description for the BvS trailer - and he's one of the most connected, dependable guys in the game - so who knows. Maybe this will actually pan out?

Ha. It just won't stop. This is all so weird...

Can't stop! Won't stop!

I've got over 100 hits from this link today, but I cannot figure out where exactly on the page they're coming from. There's not a single mention or link to TPL that I can find. Am I missing somthing? No big deal, just curious...

Here you go

Wow, thanks. Reddit blows my mind sometimes. 100+ hits from some random, unmarked link.

Update: Simon Kinberg told Latino Review that the reshoots will only be 3-4 days, and gave a trailer premiere date."To confirm Fantastic Four will be doing 3-4 days of additional photography with director Josh Trank and some key cast members. We are very excited about the film and can't wait for you to see what we've been up to. And you will be able to do that very soon as I can confirm here that the teaser will be on Kingsman in theaters February 13."

Boom. And with that, confirmation of the "confirmation." Straight from the producer. Now if only WB would do the same for the BvS trailer...

Please explain why the site can't adapt to portrait on mobile? Making the user rotate their device is pretty lame.
Seriously, though, as I've mentioned before, the listings would not only have to be TINY in portrait view, but the trailer/IMDb icons would be too small to click as well. And if we could keep the current font size, the arrangement in portrait view would be FAR too cramped and everything would bleed over.

Do you think we wanted to make the user rotate their device? Do you not think we tried and tested every conceivable option and came to the conclusion we did based literally on months of testing? Trust me, I don't like it any more than you do, but it's just the nature of a site like this.

I know you said you worked with your dev team on this, but I would continue to push it. Mobility is huge in this day and age, not just with younger folks. Upper level management/execs in multiple lines of business want the mobility too.

Not sure how invested you are in your dev team, but it may be worth talking to a few other folks now that you have this release out on how they might approach a portrait view on a phone. I think this is really cool, but haven't spend much time on the site because my free time is on my phone and not a desktop and I don't care for using my phone in landscape and it's a turn off to me that I'm shown nothing instead of at least giving me the option to pinch/zoom. I'm nobody in terms of your site, but given the potential I wouldn't want one industry exec to punt just because of the usability.
