I'm trying to be courteous to spoiler-free people on my friendslist, but I think the term differs from person to person. I'm curious to hear if people generally don't want to see play-by-play summaries, or get upset if I mention (SPOILER) there are wras in Stra Wras. Also spaceships.



I'm kind of assuming that everyone sees an in-depth analysis as a spoiler, so I'm using options I thought were less obvious. At least to me.

Yeah, I pretty much think EVERYTHING is a spoiler, but I resign myself to the fact that I can't avoid them all!
guernica[info]niicoly on August 8th, 2008 03:22 am (UTC)
HEE. I could never avoid ~everything~, I think I'd go crazy.

I'M NOT EVEN SURE WHAT THAT POLL WAS ABOUT BUT IT'S VERY APPARENTLY GEORGE LUCAS THINKS WE'RE ALL FAT, REGARDLESS. THE ASSHOLE.
guernica[info]niicoly on August 8th, 2008 03:28 am (UTC)
I DON'T GET WHY THERE'S NO SW CANDY & CONFECTIONERY OUT THERE

GEORGE WOULD BE RICHER THAN NINE JK ROWLINGS

What a neat, truthful poll. Pattinson/Ferus fits in that world well, I guess. Lucas and fat, don't know where that comes from, though. I don't want to say anything about his boxing daughter, who lost a few avoirdupois since ROTS.
guernica[info]niicoly on August 8th, 2008 03:32 am (UTC)
It's funny that Gaspard Ulliel was up for the role of Edward, who I've always thought resembles the Ferus illustrations. Especially in Hannibal Rising.

Amanda's not just a boxer, a PRINCESS OF PAIN.

I find none of those things to be spoilers.
guernica[info]niicoly on August 8th, 2008 03:33 am (UTC)
Yeah. Some people are different I guess. Personally, I don't care about anything as long as I don't know the ending, but I've seen some obvious stuff under lj-cuts.

I DID NOT KNOW SOULJA GIRL WAS PRESSING CHARGES, THANKS A LOT NIIC, NOW I AM THOROUGHLY SPOILED

EVERY TIME YOU USE THAT ICON I THINK

"HURR HURR WE'RE PLAYING HIDE AND SEEK AND NO ONE'S FOUND US FOR DAYS. WE'RE SO GOOD AT THIS."
oh gallant piglet,: yodaaa[info]aizome on August 5th, 2008 09:45 pm (UTC)
VERY GOOD POLL INDEED.

TEN MORE DAYS!
guernica[info]niicoly on August 8th, 2008 03:35 am (UTC)
AND NOW IT'S ONLY 8 :D

HAVE YOU BOUGHT YOUR TICKETS YET?
oh gallant piglet,: otp - manip by bodeewan[info]aizome on August 8th, 2008 03:47 am (UTC)
ALAS, THE NEAREST THEATER DOES NOT OFFER ADVANCE TICKET BUYING QUITE SO FAR IN ADVANCE. :( I MAY BE ABLE TO GET ONE A DAY OR TWO BEFORE, THOUGH.

I'M TOTALLY DRAGGING DAD, SISTER, AND BROTHER-IN-LAW TO THIS. XD (Not that I'd have to drag the latter. He'll probably assist me.)
M: omgwtf[info]jedi_em on August 6th, 2008 01:35 am (UTC)
So, okay, clearly I am the stupidest person alive, but are the poll choices things we consider to be spoilers/stuff we don't want to be spoiled on, or are they things we don't care if you spoil us about? D: I SUCKETH.
guernica[info]niicoly on August 8th, 2008 03:37 am (UTC)
This is why I shouldn't make polls at 1am. D: I meant things you consider spoilers/would want an lj-cut for. Lo siento. YOU DON'T SUCK, I DO.

...

(Okay we both can as long as it's tasteful and important to the plot and censored on basic cable.)
Amy[info]spitefairy on August 6th, 2008 06:38 am (UTC)
A lot of these I consider minor spoilers, but nothing I would be upset if I saw. The only two things I consider real spoilers are Trailers and Official Summary, because marketers do not seem to realize that some of us have working brains and understand how plot development works.
guernica[info]niicoly on August 8th, 2008 03:40 am (UTC)
Same here. When I post stuff, I think "Would people be pissed if this was announced on the evening news?"
