    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    Again, I was not trying to criticize or judge any specific post. I don't think I even read those ones in detail as the movie is of no interest to me. Since the subject was raised I am merely suggesting that people consider what they post and be considerate of others when it comes to bringing up...

    You're right, expecting common sense or common courtesy from others is a losing proposition.

    24 months is an exaggeration. I don't know why it's a controversial notion to use spoiler tags in a forum thread that is about box office performance and not a general discussion of movies. There's a reason most discussions of shows on this website note that spoilers will be present in threads...

    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    You keep ignoring the fact that many, probably most, people won't see a movie until it's available at home. This doesn't mean they don't want to see it. There could be financial or any other number of reasons someone would wait. It's a weird argument that if you don't see a movie in the...

    My comments are more about the issue in general, not one specific example, even if it did prompt the topic.

    Except this isn't a thread dedicated to general movie discussion, which I would expect to be more spoiler heavy. General chat about a movie is fine because it can be relevant to public reaction, but plot points beyond the general plot can be labelled as spoilers. It's not like it's hard to do so.

    I would still err on the side of caution for anyone who might be interested in a movie and is not familiar with any overall story. My comment is more general regardless, as it's something that has occurred with plenty of movies in this thread that aren't a prequel to a known story.

    The other question is, who makes the choice? Disney/Lucasfilm specifically said they would not use CGI to replace Carrie Fisher in Rise of Skywalker, and seemed to suggest in their statement that it was at least partially out of respect. At the same time, Peter Cushing's Tarkin was brought...

    My personal opinion would be at least a month or two after a movie is out on home video. It shouldn't be hard to adhere to a thread topic. It shouldn't be hard to understand that discussing something like the end of a movie should be spoiler tagged. Just seems like common sense and common...

    This is a box office discussion thread, not a general movie discussion thread, so it should really be common courtesy to put any movie story points in spoiler tags.

    Survivor 46 Discussion Thread

    This season is following the trajectory of last year, with an underwhelming pre-merge followed by a really fun post-merge. Hunter just doesn't seem cut out for this game beyond the challenge prowess. If you reveal an idol, on top of being a challenge threat, you're a bigger threat. You can only...

    Rumor New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    Did the new guidelines mention an option to submit supporting documentation? I wonder if that's the legal compromise. Limit access to DAS and limit the "benefits" as much as possible. By doing this they deter people who don't actually need it while still leaving the door open to provide access...

    Not so much a Disney specific forum but a forum about a company whose business is art. Whose business is creativity. Automation and technology will always impact jobs and the employment of people, but I can't see there being much room for reasonable debate when it comes to whether or not a...

    Rebel Moon

    Well, I finished this. For some reason a movie that seems to want to be a sci-fi epic just returns to a village where they are farming grain. We are reunited with a group of characters I barely remember. We get a flashback backstory for each of them and I do not care. I couldn't name or...

    Encouraging the use of AI instead of actual actors is just trolling right? Wish was criticized for being a bland by the numbers movie that tried to just tick off boxes for an animated Disney film. Using AI in lieu of actors would just make it more generic and lifeless. To say nothing about...
