DUDE! SPOILERS!
This was re: Cumberbatch, btw.
Yeah, but if you’ve been anywhere on the internet you’ve already seen it. It’s not a spoiler so much as a pre-press release at this point.
The link labeled as Ophelia actually goes to Stephanie’s article. Fix the link, please?
And feel free to remove this comment, if you want.
The woman in question has replied. She… hasn’t… thought things through.
I saw the movie, unspoiled, last night. It’s been out, like, less than a week. I’ve deliberately avoided going places on the internet where I thought spoilers might come up, and this was NOT one of them.
And “everyone else is doing it” is now a defence?

“Everyone is doing it” is, in fact, a defense if the argument is whether something is common knowledge or a secret. Rumors about that being his character have been out for months, and blogs everywhere have been railing on the racism of the casting choice for weeks since it was confirmed. I guess it just doesn’t really seem to fall into the category of a spoiler, given how much press it’s gotten.
Meanwhile, the main page is still cluttered with at least eight blogs which are officially closed or moribund while the two latest don’t appear except in the sidebar. Ed says there’s an update coming “in a few weeks”. It’s long overdue.
The movie’s been out less than a week. Whether or not it’s been speculated on, it would be at least polite to consider those of us who might not have (a) been following those blog and (b) had a chance to see it yet.
In other news, it was his sled, it’s really the Earth, the policeman did it, he was a ghost all along, Tyler is only in his head and Verbal is Keyser Soze. Seriously, though, less than a week. Not going to complain about this any more.
I suppose it’s just pedantic to be annoyed by people misusing the word “pedophile,” isn’t it… >.>
I suppose it’s just pedantic too to be annoyed by Myers promoting (indeed hosting) the blog of a terrorist sympathiser. As Taslima Nasrin is in regard to the murderous Provisional IRA.
The atheists, with their sectarian splintering and abject hypocrisy appear more like the Christians every day.
And just to show that I’m not pedantic in the least, there’s a comma missing after the word hypocrisy in my comment above.
nmcc, if you are going to be a troll, you need to be more creative.
Sonofrogblake, you forgot “The calls are coming from inside the house!”
Me @9:
Hmm, a couple of the moribund ones disappeared since I posted. The officially dead ones seem all to still be there however.
That is so much bullshit. I have no idea which blogs you are referring to as I for one haven’t seen them, so all this was new to me. Fuck you very much PZ. And fuck you too, Thiebault, as your headline gives the game away almost as explicitly. You have no excuse either as you say “big spoilers for some relatively new nerd media that I’ve probably already given away by the title if you’re savvy”. So you knew just what you were doing. Wanker.
