Star Wars: Episode VII: The Force Awakens (2015)

[The Argonaut]

spoiler-phobes might want to be careful about opening this one:

Spoiler: show

OMG Luke Skywalker is alive and he kills Leia and fucks her corpse while Force-forcing Han to watch and then Rey eats Poe's shit because Darth Vader is really ALIVE and they made a bet about it in the first reel!

[zeb]

do we need a separate spoilers thread for those who have seen the movie to post in, or is that what this thread will become in a few days?

Nope. This thread is open slather once the movie is released. Don't come into the thread if you haven't seen it after release date.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Not this again.

[Kaius]

I agree. You're just asking for trouble wearing skinny jeans and a halter top like that.

[E.H. Ruddock]

I will be locking this thread from thursday-Monday

[stip]

A new thread is actually a good idea. We can merge them after the opening weekend

Is this something that's done for all movies though? There should be standards!

[Monkey_Driven]

I'm seeing this on Thursday and I do not plan to post spoilers in this thread without them being marked/hidden until the week after.

this isn't just some movie, pal.

[zeb]

I'm not sure what your expectation would be if you clicked on the latest page of this thread after the movie has started screening. Mine would be that people would be talking about what happened in the movie. Seems pretty straightforward.

[Rangi Guy]

Zeb gets it!

[stip]

Because people will be interested in hearing general reactions without having plot points spoiled

[zeb]

How about those people go somewhere else to get "general reactions"? That seems less unreasonable than making the board wait until some arbitrary date after release to post discussion without spoiler tags.

For me personally, when it comes to things like Game of Thrones or the Walking Dead, I don't enter threads until I'm all caught up. Seems fairly simple to me.

What's the big deal zeb? It's literally just hitting one button.

yeah this

[Rangi Guy]

What's the big deal zeb? It's literally just hitting one button.

Cause this isn't really the standard for movies and junk in A&E

[McParadigm]

What's the big deal zeb? It's literally just hitting one button.

What price, protecting others from blatantly stupid decisions?

[Simple Torture]

I do understand that it's just one button, and I've had my mind changed about when to post without a spoiler tag, but there are sometimes sticky situations. Sometimes general reactions can get spoiler-ish; people in the GOT thread have gotten pissed when characters are discussed generally in the present tense (I guess because it lets people know they haven't died). So I'll be hiding even my most inane observations.

And, honestly, besides like 4-5 people, everyone in this thread has already decided whether they'll like this movie or not (myself included, probably).

[Simple Torture]

Oh, and I'm going to start posting fake spoilers without tags as soon as I see it.

[McParadigm]

I swear to God, if you jack offs start trying to system game internet spoilers over a Star Wars movie, I will immediately on day one post the entire synopsis in every thread of this message board and gladly except my banning
