Reported Problem for Star 80
posted by tmdb57364829STAFFMOD on July 14, 2019 at 7:47 AM
Item: Star 80
Language: en-US
Type of Problem: Incorrect_content
Extra Details: I don't think the plot summary currently on here adequately sums up what this film is about. I did amend it;
Paul Snider is a narcissistic, small time hustler who fancies himself a ladies man. His life changes when he meets Dorothy Stratten working behind the counter of a Dairy Queen. Under his guidance Dorothy grows to fame as a Playboy Playmate. But when Dorothy begins pursuing an acting career, the jealous Paul finds himself elbowed out of the picture by more famous men. Dorothy's career rises as Paul's mental state declines, leading ultimately to tragedy.
But my contribution has been deleted and the summary now locked presumably to deter me from contributing again (a move that is not unusual I am sorry to say, and always from the same mod - I'm still awaiting an answer on my complaints regarding this person by the way). I know that the site prefers summaries that are short and to the point, but the current one really doesn't explain what the movie is at all about, as anyone who has seen it - like myself - will know.

Hi, I think a case can be made that your additional information gave away a bit too much information. So perhaps a middle ground can be negotiated?

Really? I mean, it's a pretty well known true crime case? OK, how about this:
Paul Snider is a narcissistic, small time hustler who fancies himself a ladies man. His life changes when he meets Dorothy Stratten working behind the counter of a Dairy Queen. Under his guidance Dorothy grows to fame as a Playboy Playmate. But when Dorothy begins pursuing an acting career, the jealous Paul finds himself elbowed out of the picture by more famous men and his mental state collapses.

I cut the last few words, but added the rest! This should be fine. Thanks.
