I am probably out of line, but.........
Should we wait until everyone interested has seen the movie?
I agree there is BA in many new releases, but many of us haven't had a chance to see them yet.
I believe it would be common courtesy to wait until the end of the first run before we mention plot/details/endings etc.

I'm guessing you mean X-Men 2 specifically?

I think the usual courtesy is to mention that you are introducing plot spoilers, and warn the reader that they shouldn't continue. There's always going to be someone who hasn't seen the movie yet.

BTW, is there any astronomy in it?

I doubt there is any astronomy in the movie, but if there is , I would rather wait to hear about it.

You are under no obligation to read the thread in question. Whenever a specific movie discussion is started, the thread title clearly gives away what that discussion is and occasionally, the Spoilers warning is stated.

You expect your typical BABB addict to deliberately leave a thread unread? That's more than my willpower can stand! ;)

And how are we going to expect the same to avoid discussions of anything astronomical, science, or science fiction? :)

The problem is - if you are going to post a spoiler, don't put the info right undreneath the spoiler warning!!!!! Put in a gap or something, please.

SPOILER ALERT!

No.

(guess that wasn't really a spoiler but just in case . . .)

Hey, I managed to hold out (http://www.badastronomy.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=16125#16125) for over two months without looking at any of the Episode II (http://www.badastronomy.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=24846#24846) threads. For Bad Astronomy, any sacrifice is worthwhile!
