there are plenty of films that most people see when they come out that no one remembers two weeks later (I'm thinking about action/Sci fi/event movies, like Attack of the Clones or Spiderman).
Except that those were two of this year's longest-running and top-grossing movies, and Spider-Man made it onto more than a few top ten lists.
Do you want no white font at all then?
I'm so confused.
Thank you, Candy. me too.
I would like major plot points white fonted. I don't want to know that the Butler did it before I see a film. General discussion I enjoy whether I have seen the film or not.
This is why I'm anti-proliferation. It's too hard to figure out the rules for every damn thread.
Except dealing with movie spoillers will pop up no matter what thread they appear in.
Do you want no white font at all then?
I want no white font for anything except major plot details, and I want those things whitefonted until a film comes out on video.
And I want a diet coke.
How about, whitefont until two weeks after wide release for all comments, and until two weeks after video release for major spoilers?
I like that plan quite a lot. It is the major spoilers that concern me. Also, count me as one who feels that whitefont is just not a big deal.
How about, whitefont until two weeks after wide release for all comments, and until two weeks after video release for major spoilers?
What do you mean by "all comments"? Does, "Joe Blow's performance blew me away" need to be whitefonted? That seems unnecessary to me. I do agree major spoilers should be white fonted until video.
Question: where does quotation of individual lines fall?
at do you mean by "all comments"? Does, "Joe Blow's performance blew me away" need to be whitefonted?
Just plot-related comments, I think. So saying "Wow, Brad Pitt can actually act in this!" would be okay, but "Brad Pitt was amazing in Paul Newman's death scene" would need whitefont.
