Last year's leftovers recombined in a tasty stew.
Notes for the fine diner:
Princess is a hamster.
Dean Spanley ... spoiler invisibo:
channels the pet of Peter O'Toole.
My review could be considered a spoiler or just an observation on character.
NB - no animals were harmed in the making of this offering.
PS - Thanks to Beanmimo and Sal for your comments. |

| That's a spoiler about Dean Spanley, B.B. Although it's pretty obvious, the film definitely tries to hide it from the viewer till the reveal. |

Hey Sal, as I have pointed out before highlighting a spoiler in the thread is pointing it out to the ignorant like me that there is a spoiler.
Wouldn't it be better to pm the spoiler's author in question in case it slipped by them and let them post a warning? |

It makes no difference whether someone reading the spoiler knows at the time that it is a spoiler or not: if they end up seeing the film, it will be a spoiler either way. I think in the previous case you thought the spoiler was somewhat oblique and thus mentioning it could have made it clearer; I'm not sure how much that was the case but it's definitely not the case here as the wording is quite explicit. |

In any case that I see a spoiler I will pm the author and let them post a warning, this is one of the few etiquette points I adhere to as strictly as possible as i believe it is the polite way of highlighting the issue.
I did post a spolier myself once without warning (an oversight on my behalf) and as it was highlighted in the thread afterwards i believe you Sal lead a "let's not vote for any of Beanmimo's fycth this round" mob, I found this quite unfair as once i had seen the error of my ways I highlighted the spoiler imeediately.
Thought it has taught me to be more careful.
Sorry I got out of the wrong side of bed this morning!! |

Well, I don't agree that a P.M. is more polite or otherwise best. Information about a spoiler is just functional, not a comment on the poster. The trouble with a P.M. is that depending upon the e-mail address the person may not get it in time. I once P.M.ed someone because a review of theirs could hurt another reviewer's feelings in a way they did not know about, but they didn't get my message until the round was over -- in that case I of course couldn't have done it any other way, but it proves the point.

That is a totally outrageous thing to say. I definitely did no such thing. I wouldn't make such a suggestion and nor would anyone follow it. All I can remembr is that you posted a spoiler and when I mentioned it you said that it made it worse, which I didn't really agree with because people would only have read my message quite a few posts after yours. |

It's the bit now in beige that I was mainly talking about as a spoiler, although the review is technically a spoiler too even if there is a double meaning.  |
