I would like to think that no one will look at 500+ new posts in the thread overnight and assume the discussion is about DVDs that were released well over a year ago.
Still, a warning in the slug would be prudent.
We'd be dead. Can't get paid if you're dead.

Blackfont in Firefly starting Friday is the way I'd like to go.
I vote for this. Maybe even a W&P for the technologically insane.

I'm seeing a Midnight showing on Thursday night. I think the light cast from my Treo would really anger the other patrons in the theatre if I tried to Watch and Post though.

You mean technologically rude, since I can't imagine anyone doing this in a way that wouldn't piss off the people sitting nearby.

Well, for some spoiler averse, a warning in thirty point font that slaps them in the face before they even click on the link is what's called for, but something in the slug will have to do.

Doesn't even saying that there's something spoilery in the movie constitute a spoiler?
Damn, I've been spoiled now. Thanks a lot Sean.

Just doin' my job, Ma'am.
Uh, sir.
Master. (bater)
Whichever's right.
I was dead at the time.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

If you set it for red text on a black background it would be less bothersome to others, plus it would screw up your night vision much less too.

The web browser in the Treo doesn't seem to have enough control to override the standard board colors. I suppose I could telnet into a server and then post to the board using lynx.

You could be the one-man W&P chronicling your on-the-scene thoughts and impressions for all Buffistaland to enjoy.
Or you could be all selfish, and watch the movie for your own entertainment.
