This is the "Plausible Deniability" Thread, right? Is that correct?
Let the handwringing continue, just wanted to make sure what was going on.
Now, here's MY question: If mentioning a tie between Legendary Films/Warner Bros and BlueTights is delete worthy, then WHY? It's pretty damned obvious. Instead of trying to cover up the link between the two (I know Wingnut/New Line didn't with Kong is King or The OneRing.net) why not use that to your advantage when making your arguments? You can then speak from a position of authority because you've been co-opted by the majors, right? Isn't that the smart move as opposed to deleting threads and mentions that simply shine a light on the obvious?
Really no reason to it. counterproductive, actually. Hell, if I'm on the production team, watching the fanboys stumble around aimlessly bumping into each other confused and questioning is great stuff. It's mystery. It's countermanding the spoiler brigade's raw need to know, and ensuring that they REALLY don't know what's gonna happen when they get in there.
And they're going in there. It's not a question--these reviews aren't REALLY turning anyone off buying a ticket, and even if it were, the percentage of people NOT going is so small, in a subset (internet fanboys) that is so small as to not even make a sizable dent in the box office
Right?
So why the cloak and dagger rigmarole concerning these thread deletions? Let the obfuscation run rampant, kids. It's doing you a favor, even if the questions center around possible negatives. You're going to get those anyway, look where you are: THE INTERNET.
But this is handling it in completely the wrong way. Daugherty weighed in. Igle weighed in. Harry weighed in. Meanwhile, you've got Drew's script review and the very shady UGO.com review that seems based on Drew's review. Hell, let the chips fall where they may. You're trying to put out a fire that's not gonna start, at least not this close to release. And in the effort, you're going to end up drawing MORE ATTENTION TO YOURSELVES. Which is the exact opposite of what you want, right?
