Reply to comment by RealBoomBap in ‘PAW’ Patrol: The Mighty Movie’ Release Date Pushed Up By Paramount From October 13 To Go Wide On September 29 by lowell2017

First one was great! First film I took my eldest to see (she was 3 at the time) so I have very fond memories of it. For a film that's geared towards a very young audience, it was surprisingly entertaining for an adult and had a lot of heart. Don't get me wrong, I'm never going to stick it on for my own enjoyment but I wasn't bored to tears like I am with some very young kids geared films.

> a spot on a track day at Silverstone

Silverstone is a racetrack and a "track day" is a non-raceday where the public can drive the course. The author's metaphor still doesn't make a damn bit of sense though. I think the author is trying to say that Scorcese didn't deserve an Oscar for the Departed or that he's well past his ability to be an honest contender, but he's not clever enough to stick the landing.

edit: Or maybe auocorrect made a mess of the article and the editor didn't give a shit about this clickbait.

Reply to At what point is a spoiler no longer required to be kept under wraps? by microwavedhottakes

I'm over the 'spoiler' thing. on Youtube videos, it was such a big thing in those early mid 2000s time frame. now it's so sarcastic and obnoxious. if the person DOESN'T want to be spoiled by a film, don't actively watch a video talking about said movie.

From a general audience mindset, after about a month, everyone who has wanted to see the film has taken the time to see it. If a person hasn't seen the film by the time it leaves theaters all together, they don't care. Is it good form to ask if it's ok to talk about a film in front of someone who hasn't seen it, sure...but I just think this idea of restricting a discussion for someone else when they've haven't seen the film is ridiculous. I don't care about spoilers though. I'm not a fan of 'subverting expectations' and want to know what I'm getting into. It's watching the journey unfold that is the draw of the film for me.

I don't go around shouting rando plot points around in public for the sake of ticking people off. but don't interrupt a conversation I'm having with someone because you chose not to see a movie 3 years after it came out.
