Audiences attending the SXSW premiere of “The Fall Guy,” starring Ryan Gosling, were not happy about having to watch a sizzle reel before the movie that touted the promises of AI.

        When

        Any time a product is being shown off.

        Context

        Fucking anything. Apple showing off its new iPhone features, a studio showing clips from its upcoming shows, and an actor showcasing their previous work.

        Marketing and executive work shares many similarities with being in first grade. Flashy colors and stupid slogans go pretty far when the target has a child’s brain.

        A short video normally no longer than 3 minutes designed to show off a product, usually in the form of a montage.

        It’s an old term so I can’t imagine how you could live your life and not hear the term.

          There’s no need to be a dick about it, just because you know a something doesn’t mean everyone else must also know it. I can guarantee there’s common terms you aren’t familiar with. Especially when you consider that this is marketing jargon with common alternate terms (eg demo reel).

              how were they being a dick? I’ve never heard of it either, your weird gatekeeping over a fucking marketing term is very strange

                If you don’t know a term you look it up or you ask. Like you should probably do for “gatekeeping”

                You don’t turn around and go. “who made this term a five year old, oh wait executives are five year olds”.

                That’s being a dick because they are proudly showing off their ignorance and colossal ego.
