I think the spoiler rules in our FAQ should be updated to reflect the real rules:
Q. What do you guys consider a spoiler?
A. Anything that hasn't been broadcast. So anything from the show and the preview trailers is okay, anything from TV Guide or anywhere else is a spoiler, including casting news, episode titles and plot twists. <new>No white fonting.</new> Spoilers should only be posted in the spoiler thread.
or in white font in the main thread.
Q. Do I have to use the white font for spoilers?
A. <new>In the Spoilage Lite</new>
main threads, yes. In the main hardcore spoiler thread, no.
, but it's good form if there is something really really shocking and impending. Like, for example, quotes from an early-bird review. Also, be aware that people using text-only browsers like Lynx don't get any juice out of the white font, so it's nice to give them a text-only warning that there are spoilers ahead.
Good point, Candy. I'll correct that ASAP (sometime this weekend, most likely).
Pursuant to Lyra Jane's instructions, I have reset the poll for a runoff with the top three titles, Denzel, and a NOTA. So everyone is invited back for the
final
vote (I hope).
The totals for the first poll were:
Movies 1: Just nothing with horror in it. Or romance. Or hobbits. - 27
Movies 1: Because We Just Don't Have Enough Threads Already - 25
Movies 1: Go monkey. Choose Monkey. - 25
Movies 1: I Do Remember The Popcorn Was Good - 20
Movies 1: Possibly something from the Ringwald oeuvre. - 19
Movies 1: Plenty of Chick-and-British-Guy Flicks - 10
Movies 1: Like watching a video with a bunch of strangers and a sticky floor. - 8
Movies 1: We got the "M" back - 6
I have no authority here, so it wasn't instructions -- more a suggestion. But thanks, Wolfram.
I like all of them, so maybe we can use the runner ups soon.
It's in Wolfram's post a few back, but here it is again: [link]
How about
Movies 1: Nothing, because we could not agree on jack.
(schmoker, stop instigating)
No!! You must all vote Monkey!! Yay Monkey!!
