I mean we all know what about clickbait and titles. The headline here is a perfect example. Because it makes it seem like Gary oldman wasn't getting offers potentially for movies or didn't have opportunities for movies. And he was worried about going under or not being able to support himself etc etc. But if you read the actual article, it's made very clear that he wasn't sparse for opportunity as an actor, but rather these movies gave him an opportunity to be with his children more while they were all going through a very rough time and still earn an income presumably to support their lifestyle and this is what he feels saved him personally.
Gary oldman is a good dad. And it seems like he wanted to put that first and foremost. Which I think is wonderful. I was raised by a father who was given soul custody of his kids during a very messy divorce. And now that I'm older i can see how much sacrifice he made for me and my sister. Cool that gary oldman seems willing to do the same for his kids.
You're not wrong. But the title is literally his quote.
A lot are but it takes it outta context and twists his point slightly.
That's his exact quote. How long do you want the title, which is quoting him, to be?
"Gary Oldman thanks Batman, Harry Potter for 'saving' his family life".
Accurate, informative, and shorter than the given title.
Next time I talk to Variety I'll let them know.
You respond like you didn't specifically ask how.
I think /u/WarmSoda may be as pleasant in real life as their username.
Nah, theres just no reason for people to care this much.
It's pretty funny you don't understand what a rhetorical question is.
I'd prefer titles that more accurately described the content - they don't necessarily have to quote the content.
Cool dude
While you may be technically correct, a quote taken out of context can be misleading, as is the case here.
They chose the quote to be the title for that purpose. That's clickbait.
The title does not need to be a quote to give you information about the article. They use the quote out of context specifically to twist it slightly and get more clicks.
