Reception

Geronimo debuted on television five days before the theatrical release of Geronimo: An American Legend.[2] Walter Hill, director of the theatrical film, blamed the poor reception of his film on the screening of the TV movie. Hill said, "I don't think there are a hell of a lot of movies where you can take basically the same story, show it to 50 million people and bring yours out a week later and think that you're going to do great. What can you say, `My Geronimo has better locations?' "[3]

gollark: Yes, yes, america bad.

gollark: My "cooking" basically consists of "cutting and toasting bagels and adding cheesE".

gollark: Which is wrong.

gollark: Unless you constantly eat takeouts or restaurantfood™.

gollark: I think in developed countries, though, your main expenses are probably *not* really food.
