OT - are we going to have some sort of protocol for spoilers?

Maybe require *spoiler* in the thread title? Or do people typically do that already?

Thus should be a fun group!

Yes I think that's a good idea. The difficulty lies in boundary cases where the reviewer / poster didn't think they were spoiling anything but other's thought so.

In blatant cases most definitely *spoiler* tags! If you are going to give away critical plot twists and the like others deserve a warning. However I'm less clear what people think should be the rule when posting your own movie reviews. Perhaps *Possible spoilers* ? But then that applies to just about any detailed review.

What do you guys think?
