Advanced Screenings.... some Advice for posters...

BigDave

Guys and Girls..... i want to discus in this thread Advanced Screenings but also advise on what to post once people have attended such things.

A number of outlets are doing Advanced Screenings i have the option to see the Movie on the 27th April, at a extra cost of £7 than normal rate i would pay if i chose to watch the Midnight 11th May or May 12th on-wards showings.

So there is likely a number of other places around the World that could be showing the movie a few weeks prior to the Official Launch dates, which could mean some people will see the Movie 4 weeks prior to others.

So i would urge Respect and Caution on Forums like this.

I think it would be respectful even if its a Non-spoiler Review by Some that gives no details away.. to Tag the Topics Spoiler... such as.

SPOILER Alien Covenant: My Review (none spoiler)

SPOILER Alien Covenant Screening

The Reason this would be ideal is if someone sees the Movie and puts a non-spoiler Review, others who have seen it too may reply with some Spoiler information.. so its a nice heads up to anyone who chooses to go and look at this Topics can not complain if they get Spoiled.

Other Respectful thing i would think is refrain from posting Topics Based on the movie until way after release so maybe a respectful June 1st Embargo?

Instead maybe Chris can make a ONE Discussion Topic about Alien Covenant until then... labeled Spoiler Zone.

But if people do wish to post Certain Topics based off seeing the Movie and Certain Scenes... such as if i use Prometheus as a Example.

Ending... my views on that Engineers Chest Buster

Should be labeled as a post as

SPOILER... My views on the Ending.

Another Example.

Why did the Engineer attack David?

should be as...

SPOILER.... Davids Fate...

Then in the thread put "Why did the Engineer attack David?"

A Potential Example for Alien Covenant would be.

SPOILER Discussing the Neomorphs

As opposed to saying

Discussing the 3 Neomorphs and Lopes Death

Basically any Topic on actual viewing of Alien Covenant, should be tagged as Spoiler First and also to not contain any Spoilery Plot Points in the Title.

Like say... How did David Merge Shaw with the Engineer Bio-suit and let her Trilobite Rape her!

Instead should be...   SPOILER Discussing what happened to Shaw.

(Disclaimer, that Shaw Bio-suit is just a random thing, i cant be blammed if this actually happens lol).

So yeah Guys and Girls...  Feel Free here to discus if you are attending any Advanced Screenings... and Enjoy...

But please be respectful to others who may not see the movie until far latter...  As unfortunately this Site does not have SPOILER TAGS.

Thanks and Enjoy ... Dave ;)

So yeah i guess from Alien Day April 26th people will have seen or going to see the Final Cut of the Movie.

BigDave

But this post is fine for people saying like..

Hi yes i am looking forwards to it, i have a Advanced Screening on May 5th near me... i cant wait etc

I will be going to the Advanced Showing as otherwise if i wait until May 12th i would be spoiled as i would no doubt cant keep away from looking up information on the Internet lol

However if i do a Review it will not be Spoiler and i may even refrain from one if i think i was disappointed a bit as i dont want this to sway people going to see it.... but i think if its impressive i will have to post a non-spoiler review ;)

Oh darn it... i guess that means now if you dont get a review off me, it means i thought it sucked lol

So yeah i guess from Alien Day April 26th people will have seen or going to see the Final Cut of the Movie.

Thanks for the heads up.

Thank you @BigDave! I agree, and although I love a new scoop of news... we should all be a little considerate to other members or site goers with wondering eyes... accidentally seeying a huge spoiler. Fan theory wild while still being conscious =))

As BigDave mentioned.. Chris can update us from any spoiler information as we blaze on hot topics.

13 More Days for Me ;)

BigDave

Bummer....

Friend said he had trouble booking it at work after i sent him the picture, he said he proceeded to check out for £12 for 3 People but had problems, so he was going to book after Work and just informed me, now the Page goes to where you cant even book any tickets...

Maybe it was a mistake by the website?

I am going to ring them up tomorrow and see if this was the case, here is proof from earlier.

Gutted :(

BigDave

Oh well, gonna ring tomorrow and if there was a mix up on the site, i guess gonna ask them if they want to do the Superticket thingy instead :(

Mind you May 11th is Earlier than most :)

I think the Advice still applies though, in there are some Advanced Screenings etc.

Drake

Still agree 100% with your post.  Also love your speculation spoilers that may or may not be spoilers about spoilers, while talking about review spoilers.  META!

That brings another question. Is it open season come 20 May?
