A Spirited Perfect Ten

They could be in hindsight.

That's some ridiculous reasoning.

Thus no need for a spoiler tag.

Except that again people are whining about thoughts on released marketing material.

 

[NormC]

disagree again. The information came from Discovery channel in an special about hubble.
The mirrors and optics were definitively limited. (hence why its successor has a multi mirror design with way bigger surface)

We actually agree. They were limited by the design. Optics are far more "infinite" than film.

I havent emailed him in awhile.....

...... All I know is that I think a lot of us will be avoiding the thread to avoid spoilers because some of the children around here cant seem to control themselves and have to resort to posting rampant movie speculation.

spoilers and speculation are very very different. If you are speculating what the movie is about based on the trailers and posters we have seen, that is just being a fan and having fun getting hyped up for the movie with like minded fans.
I don't want to be spoiled either!!

Wow, some people have really found their panties in a wad over discussion in a discussion forum. Never change.

The problem with plot speculation (esp. based on theories posted by entertainment/fan sites) is that leaks on this film may very well have happened. Sites claim to know major plot points (if not the entire film). 'Speculation' may turn out to be fact because *it originated with someone who knows the facts*.

So the trailer shouldn't be discussed because J.J. Abrams knows the facts and was probably involved in the trailer? This hasn't been people posting plot break downs from insiders (which is the obstensible origin of this thread but just dealing with other specific and generic topics).

Disney release date update:
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/cars-3-incredibles-2-get-830474
Cars 3 (sigh) and Incredibles 2 (bigger sigh) get release dates; June 2017 and June 2019 respectively.
There's also a new Ant-Man film in development called "Ant-Man and the Wasp"

'Ant-Man and the Wasp' sounds like a scary concept !!

one piece of speculation I've seen here is the same that I've seen on a SW site that claims to have the whole plot of the film - beginning to end.

Or one could be courteous and not post spoilers or use proper tags so as not to diminish the first time viewing experience.

except most of these are not even spoilers?
most of them is speculation from random users.

I heard 74 was finally hired as a consultant. No more free advice.

so.. he joined the dark side and is now a Grand Moff a la Tarkin alongside Darth Iger?

Right...that would be spoilers. Someone going to a site that says, "I know the Plot" and then spewing that information on a message board. Or maybe searching every toy and reading the back labels....you can get spoiled that way.
In phantom menace, if you read the John Williams score there was a major spoiler.

If you are just looking at the trailers and posters and then speculating what it all adds up to, that is not a spoiler.
That is fans being fans speculating on official Disney imagery. Nothing leaked. Again...I don't want to be spoiled either.

Part of the fun of these films is to discuss them. Why are we discussing them here. Because Disney bought Lucasfilm and is building a massive new 14 acre Star Wars land everyone is excited about. Fans aren't going crazy over that yet because it isn't close to being built and all the juice from D23 has been squeezed...but this new Star Wars movie is just around the corner.

I wouldn't even go near a site that says they know the plot. What fun would that be.

The plot IS <Drumroll> to sell toys, The actual storyline who cares as long as it sells overpriced toys made in china using child and prison labor.

Speaking of merchandising....I know it was already a huge thing before, and was parodied in Spaceballs, but MAN, they're really taking marketing to a whole new level this time...its EVERYWHERE!!!!!

My dear boy That's Moychendising!, Disney's Moychendising efforts make the Spaceball's parody look like a corporate training video...

I don't follow the Star Wars geekdom closely, anyone know if there's been any backlash to this, or, as I'm guessing, they're eating it up like a metaphor about someone eating up something in massive quantities.

Disney screwed up on frozen merchandizing at the beginning. They aren't gonna make that mistake for Star Wars.

Not that I've seen.

It was just as bad when Episode I came out. I remember there was a Mountain Dew display that even spoiled the "reveal" in the movie.

Sounds like a racist morning drive team.

I guess that's why Abrams won't allow the soundtrack to be released until opening day.
