  • Comment: First time nominating; this is an article I expanded as part of WikiProject Unreferenced articles efforts. This thing has been (unsuccessfully) CSD'd twice, prodded once, and unsourced since 2008; since then, a fairly well-known critic blurbed it in 2018 and a professor wrote at length about it in 2013, satisfying WP:GNG and WP:NFO #2. The movie, to be clear, seems awful, but it does seem interesting. The bulk of the prose is the plot, but I could probably pull more out of the Newman and Alemán sources.

• @Gnomingstuff: ...btw do ya know it's currently the full moon? BorgQueen (talk) 05:21, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

I did not! Maybe that's why I was drawn to this one out of the (checks) 126,718 other unsourced articles. Admittedly I had thought "damn, should have done this in October" while submitting, but the next full moon is May 5... Gnomingstuff (talk) 05:27, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
