[up][up] Which has an option for spoiler tags

[up] In the US. Releases of Pixar movies are delayed up to half a year and not everyone catches a movie in theatres.

Just be a little bit more careful.

Sorry, it was just released on Netflix for me. I'm not sure about non-US Netflix. I spoiler-tagged it.

It's okay. Just a reminder that the delay for Europe is way longer than in the US and some of the nominated movies aren't even in theatres over here yet.

[up] You aren't? I just requested the use of spoiler tags when you talk about major plot points of more recent movies in discussions which aren't specifically about said movies. If you want to talk about, go ahead, but leave the option for those not in the know to eventually watch the movie.

I mean Ralph Breaks the Internet is hitting the theatres over here just now.

It takes about five seconds to add spoiler tags as a courtesy to others on this forum. That is not an undue burden.

[up]What do we have to spoiler tag? How long do we have to wait? Do I need to check European release dates?

Alycus Since: Apr, 2018

[up] Just spoiler tag the same things that would be spoiler tagged on the film's wiki pages, mainly anything not shown in promotional material, like any other work. Please don't make this sound like some kind of unreasonable demand.

[up]It is an unreasonable demand. The Incredibles 2 was released in theaters nine months ago.

[up] It's not an unreasonable demand. I know this because I was the one who wrote about Incredibles 2 and I went back and spoiler-tagged it and it took two seconds. So...not that hard to do.

[up]Again, for how long? We are forced to put spoiler tags on work pages for years on end. And how are we to know which works to put spoiler tags for? Can we talk about The Favourite here or is there some country somewhere where it hasn't been released yet?

I'm gonna stop commenting on this now as this thread shouldn't be hijacked into a debate on spoiler tags, but use of spoiler tags in discussion threads is absurd. Y'all can have the last word.

You are going to object to any rule people say, so what's the point in saying them? Just use your own judgment and be polite — if, say, the movie came out within the last year and you know there are people who have yet to see it, spoiler-tag it. If you didn't spoiler-tag something and someone asks you to spoiler-tag it, do so. It costs you literally nothing and takes a few seconds.

The only rule here is: be polite.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch...I guess I'm getting old because I gave Black Panther a shot and I just couldn't begin to care. It was the first Marvel Cinematic Universe movie I've ever watched, and I started it on Netflix because it got a Best Picture nomination and all—meh. We bailed around the time that the new king was going through his trial by combat or whatever it was with Forest Whitaker.

I'm rooting for Roma, at least until I see The Favourite.

Going by how you sound I feel like you weren’t putting in much or any effort at all in the first place but hey all right sure.

I've recently seen Vice. Solid film. It's carried by a fantastic cast (namely Bale, Adams, Carell and Rockwell) and the sheer stupefying sociopathy of its main character. I saw a review that likened it to a "political horror film", in that we're almost witnessing a slasher movie of sorts where Cheney just roams around doing horrible things for two hours, and I agree with that assessment.

I am rooting for Bale to win best actor, but I am mildly surprised Rockwell is running for best supporting. He's great here, but he's very secondary to the plot, and if you ask me, Steve Carrell's portrayal of Donald Rumsfield deserved the nod way more.

It's like Shakespeare, but with much more punching.
Like Geothe, but with lots more crunching.
Like Titanic, but the boats still floating.
Wait, no it's not, the motherf**king boat is exploding!

If the story of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was hot garbage and the dialogue was recorded entirely by Adam Sandler doing the most annoying voice he could possibly do, it would still deserve best animated feature for what it did to advance the medium of animation. The fact that it's a great story with memorable performances is icing on top of that.

I took my 11 and 8 year old nephews to see Spider-Verse today. The very first comment afterwards from the 11 year old was how he’d never seen a movie that looked like this before and he thought it looked awesome.

Well, Into the Spider-Verse won seven Annie Awards including Best Animated Feature. And considering it also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature, Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Animated Feature, New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Animated Film, and PGA Producer of the Year Award in Animated Theatrical Motion Pictures...

Yeah, the betting odds are good for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse to win Best Animated Feature in the Oscars. I'm rooting for that film to win.
