• ... that the 1990 film A Nymphoid Barbarian in Dinosaur Hell was the most viewed film on Hulu on the March 2, 2010 weekend?
  • ALT1: ... that Lloyd Kaufman said that "no one else was dumb enough to do a dinosaur movie" about A Nymphoid Barbarian in Dinosaur Hell at the 1990 Cannes Film Festival? Source: "Nymphoid Barbarian in Dinosaur Hell, also fairly catchy in the title department, was premiered at Cannes this year in what the Troma hype described as "the pre-pubescent and the pre-historic brought together at last!" Everyone was talking about it. "No one else was dumb enough to do a dinosaur movie," Kaufman said. Few people have actually seen Nymphoid, or want to, even though it does feature the spectacular, never-before-filmed Tromasauraus." - Globe & Mail

• Article is new enough, long enough, and adequately source. Both hooks are cited inline to offline sources so AGF. The first hook is kinda eh (I imagine Hulu's most viewed film changes all the time so it's not much of a big deal), but the second one is catchier so I think we can go with that one. QPQ has been done. No close paraphrasing was found (the only detected hits were the DVD Talk reviews, which are just quotes and properly cited).

Upon re-reading this, while I still prefer ALT1, I think the wording's a bit awkward. Specifically, the quote followed by the word "about" followed by the subject doesn't seemt to flow well. Perhaps another editor like Theleekycauldron could rewrite it and make it flow better? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 02:58, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Leek informed me off-Wiki that she won't be able to comment on this nomination. However, she did suggest the following wording: ALT2 ... that no one else was reportedly "dumb enough to do a dinosaur movie" at the 1990 Cannes Film Festival? My concern with this hook is that it doesn't mention the movie's full title, and in my opinion the title is part of the hookiness, but I guess it's something that can be workshopped on.

Narutolovehinata5 I don't like that hook and I think "reportedly" is a weasel word per WP:WEASEL. SL93 (talk) 12:46, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

We still probably need to reword ALT1 further as the wording remains awkward. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 13:09, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Narutolovehinata5 ALT3 ... that when A Nymphoid Barbarian in Dinosaur Hell screened at the 1990 Cannes Film Festival, Lloyd Kaufman said that "no one else was dumb enough to do a dinosaur movie"? SL93 (talk) 13:16, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

I guess that works so let's go with that. I've struck the other hooks. Restoring tick. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 13:21, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
