Frequent experience with movies also. letterboxd is rife with ratings on movies, which didn't pre-screen at all yet. Most of them by paid shills. A24 being the worst, but Warner also amongst them. And lb fails to hit them.

Same on IMDB, and even Rotten Tomatoes. There's a lot of money in movies. But books?
