2 weeks for movies is more than fair.

Tv shows I dunno. People ignore series for months cos they want to binge it then get pissy when they read something they don't want to. That's unreasonable.

I'm with Pete on this one. I stay away from the Twin Peaks thread until I've watched the recent episode and when I post, I assume everyone else does that too.

Same for Netflix shows or other things released a season at at time.

It's like they want to take every opportunity they get to be petty assholes
Exactly. Nobody likes those people and everyone knows they're miserable bullies at their core. Case in point, this awful instance when Half Blood Prince was released. (Spoilers for Half Blood Prince)
