Talk:The Sitter

Guerrilla Advertising
While shopping about a month ago, I saw a poster (the Need Sitter poster) hanging. I remember because I noted it was creepy that someone was using a picture of Jonah Hill to advertise their babysitting business. Was this part of a guerrilla marketing campaign for the movie? Should that be noted in the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.80.159.53 (talk) 02:02, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Adventures in Babysitting
Is it possible this movie is at least inspired by Adventures in Babysitting ? CrocodilesAreForWimps (talk) 15:01, 21 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Seems like it; Variety said the film was "described as a cross between Superbad and Adventures in Babysitting". Erik (talk &#124; contribs) 15:10, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

– The 1991 film has weak notability as evident by its minimal Google News Search results. The 2011 film is a Hollywood film which is guaranteed to generate much more coverage than the 1991 film, and it is just as guaranteed that people searching for "The Sitter" will be looking for the 2011 film far more than the 1991 one.

 * The Sitter (2011 film) → The Sitter
 * The Sitter → The Sitter (1991 film) – Relisted for more input. --regentspark (comment) 13:41, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Support Last time I cited Google search results I was not treated well but yeah, this film looks like it will be terrible but it is likely to be the primary topic. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 23:10, 21 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment. Seems a bit crystal ball-y. Perhaps wait until the film has actually been released? Jenks24 (talk) 08:45, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't think WP:CRYSTAL applies here since that policy is about content. Per the primary topic guidelines, the topic that readers are most likely to look for should be the primary topic. Readers are going through the 1991 film's article to get to the 2011 film's unnecessarily. In addition, the 1991 film has very, very little overall coverage compared to the pre-release coverage for the 2011 film. I don't think we need to wait to make the move.

 * Support. Normally I'm a bit wary of these sorts of moves, but the old article is on a pretty obscure topic.  Powers T 18:22, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
