Will the spoiler tags still be used if people saw the movie?

Technically, once a movie is out, it's fair game. So I'm going to say that if you come in here, just expect that you might see something about the movie.

If people want to use spoiler tags, go ahead. But I know it might be a while until most people see it, especially in Europe. So that might get silly.

Whatever people want to do

Thanks for the new thread Shannon

I don't know if wee need spoiler tags here, if you visit this thread then you want to be spoilt IMO.

I'm just pissed we won't get to see this movie until early 2009
Unless a *cough* comes along or just wait for the DVD might be quicker

I'm leaving in about an hour to see the movie.

And how appropriate that it's raining lightly here so I will have to use my intermittent wipers on the way to the theatre.
