Regardless of rules it's a bit of a dick move to give away certain things about films in this thread. I've had to block some members because they said a particular character died in the film for example. Who wants to know that kind of thing before watching a film?
What film did you watch last night?

Yeah, basically what he said
I'm not debating 'the rule', I didn't say anything about the rule. I just stated in a fairly open thread, it would make sense to use spoilers if you're posting a spoiler. In a thread about a certain movie, personally I wouldn't go in that thread at all until I'd seen it, let alone a two week 'safe zone'. But in a generally thread about all movies, to have people posting spoilers just doesn't make sence, even 2 months after release.As you say, everyone can do as they wish. Sure, you could spoil a film for loads of people and sleep happily at night as you didn't break any rules. Well done

I personally think Into The Spiderverse is very overrated. Visually it's beautiful but the story is very underwhelming and most of the characters are crap. We get it, there is a spider pig.
I've been berated by a few mates for not getting on the Spiderverse hype train. I actually fell asleep an hour into it, it was unengaging and just wasn't feeling it. Odd as I generally enjoy most comic book movies.
I feel like I need to watch it again as i'm clearly missing something as it's so well regarded.

It was alright, but could have been so much better. Mads Mikkelsen having a Solid Snake look going on which actually suited him. Good actor as well.
The big downer with this film is Matt Lucas. He's bloody awful as an actor.
6.5/10

I believe it's called common courtesy isn't it. I wasn't berrating the guy, just asked the spoiler button to be used. Not a hardship is it and is a benefit to ALL that haven't seen a particular movie.
Besides, in the link you posted, it even says:
Anything that spoils the series, film, or hints at what happens is classified as a spoiler and should be labelled as such. As a general rule, if you are unsure that what you are about to post may be classified as a spoiler, use spoiler tags.
Moving on and back to films!

Shimmer Lake (2017) - 7/10
A crime caper told in reverse, which seems like a bad choice until the end (beginning) of the story where it all comes together nicely.
It has a quirky style, some humorous moments and good acting, but mostly, it just rolls along without much of a fuss.

Sounds interesting. Have added to my watchlist, thanks!
A joyous story told in reverse? Reminds me of Irreversible - what a hoot!
Is it good? I was looking at this the other week, along with Enter the Void which iirc is almost a unofficial second.
You posted them, but didn't read them
- If posting gifs/images or other spoilers in a thread which isn't directly related to the show then the spoilers must be in spoiler tags and the show must be labelled so that those who are curious have a chance of avoiding them at least.
@Begbie - I was trying (poorly) to be amusing. Irreversible is a very unpleasant / disturbing film (notable in particular for an excruciating death scene and a torturously long rape scene). I’ve only seen snippets of the former as I was morbidly curious and... yep, it’s very disturbing. I’ve never felt inclined to watch the whole thing. Some people say it’s a good film though.
Oh I got that. A good film, can still be miserable though - most of my favourite movies are miserable. I did hear it gets very, very gritty though as you've explained. Might give it a watch though!

Into the Spiderverse is one of my all time favourite films, the graphics style and the soundtrack is just superb and unlike any animation I've seen before!
Yeah I think that you’ve got to be prepared for it to be really unpleasant. Clever film in how it’s done I guess but very bleak and despite the ‘art’ behind it all, I think it’s nevertheless best known for a very gruesome death scene... so maybe “less is more”.
@Begbie @Nitefly if watching Irreversible, you need to follow it through until the end, as it's told in reverse, it makes the end/start that much more tragic but also explains the level of violence you initially see.
Not a movie i'd watch again, mid-section is extremely uncomfortable viewing due to it's single shot and unrelenting nature.

@SixTwoSix thanks, yes I was aware re: it’s ‘back to front’ nature and it all being made more justified / tragic by sitting through it. Sounds like hard work tbh... life is traumatic enough 
I do like how the misery of Irreversible was broken up with yet another ‘Into the Spiderverse’ post though
