Re: The Desolation of Spoilers (SPOILER-FREE thread)

[Eldorion]

Bumping this thread since the amount of material being released in clips as well as the reports from screenings is reaching critical mass.

The general spoiler policy from last year, IIRC, was that spoilery material for the new film should be kept to threads marked as containing spoilers. All other threads should not include unmarked spoilers for the new film, at least not for the first month or so. This thread provides a place for general discussion of DOS (like the pre-release thread) without having to worry about spoilers.

[Mrs Figg]

so its just for Norc then?  

[Eldorion]

Pretty much.

I might slink over here between the release of the film in Europe on the 11th and when I get to see it, although I've spoiled myself pretty thoroughly already so I'm not sure there'd be much point.

I feel bad for the Australians though. They have to wait until the day after Christmas.

[Mrs Figg]

yes thats very odd considering how close they are to NZ.

Hi, Norc.

[Norc]

hi  


poor ozzies ^^ 

although.. i know i am the main person who complains about spoilers and what not.. so it is a bit ironic that i will be the first to see the movie

[Eldorion]

Well it saves the rest of us from having to listen to a lot of complaining!  

[Norc]

 i don't complain!

[Eldorion]

I've looked this up and I'm floored that this was Lee Pace's first film role.

I see.

ok. i have english now and this is the topic:
cross-cultural communication. try to avoid using slang and idioms when you're talking to people, make your language clear and simple, be an active listener and ask question so nothing is being misunderstood. 

thank you.

[Norc]

just.. his face

[Bluebottle]

 

 i don't complain!

Well, you do seem to complain a bit about being told you complain.  

Though I would say that is understandable.

[Norc]

[Forest Shepherd]

Indeed.

[Bluebottle]

Allright. Allright.  

I will commend you on you not complaining. You really don't complain much, at all.  


Though I also realise I just made you do it again. Not my intention. Maybe best to get off the subject.

[Norc]

rolling ones eyes is not the same as complaining.

[Ringdrotten]

ok. i have english now and this is the topic:
cross-cultural communication. (...) ask question so nothing is being misunderstood. 

Now that' the sort of thing that could get you killed in some places, like Forumshire... foul advice, that is

You're toast.

[Eldorion]

What's wrong with slang, exactly?  Are we still talking about Norc's habit of complaining about spoilers? Because now she seems to have moved on to complaining about other things.

[Norc]

jeesus.. no... lol. i was just pointing out that using slang eldo, isn't always very diplomatic..
