IIlovethebomb replysh.itjust.worksAllegedly. But on the balance of probabilities, I'd say it's more likely to be a a joke than someone actually trying to hire actors on Craigslist to watch a movie.3
OObsidianZed replylemmy.worldI saw this shared in a local community and someone had confirmed that many of the tickets for a local showing had been purchased likely for just this. They said it on the Internet so you know it's true.2

NOT_RICK replylemmy.world2Hide 2 repliesHere’s an instance in 2015. Here’s an example of his paying for a fake union rally Here’s another where workers were told they wouldn’t be paid for the day unless they attended a rally. I will admit I may have been duped about the inaugural, and his weird military parade nobody went to. Those were Craigslist ads too.3
IIlovethebomb replysh.itjust.works1Hide 1 replyYeah, all of those were done through legit casting agencies or other organisations, and hired experienced actors. I still think it's a joke, not because he's above this, but because it's not how his people have typically done this.2

“Must remain in seats for entirety of film”
"No vomiting either."
I'm just guessing.

More likely that someone is being funny.

The update I see is priceless
Chefs kiss
But why? To pretend people care? To juice box office numbers?
Yes.
It could also be a joke ad. If it is, it’s funny.
This is almost certainly the answer. Once again, Lemmy just doesn't pick up on satire.
I mean, they were paying people to go to rallies and the inaugural, is it that beyond the pale to question if this is real?
Is there any hard evidence that actually happened?
Here’s an instance in 2015.
Here’s an example of his paying for a fake union rally
Here’s another where workers were told they wouldn’t be paid for the day unless they attended a rally.
I will admit I may have been duped about the inaugural, and his weird military parade nobody went to. Those were Craigslist ads too.
Yeah, all of those were done through legit casting agencies or other organisations, and hired experienced actors.
I still think it's a joke, not because he's above this, but because it's not how his people have typically done this.

I will go for $5000. plus free snacks & 1 bathroom break of 10 minutes. And I get to bring a music player with headphones.
I replied offering to pirate it and watch on Livestream for $1000
So you don't get the 50 bucks until the movie's over. Remember to bring your phone.
