Critics and industry insiders that do not have to sign NDAs (non-disclosure agreements) will be seeing the movie tonight. People like the guys at Collider, Slashfilm, Devin Faraci, etc etc.

They are being asked to honor the review embargo that has been imposed until Wednesday night, but virtually all of them have said they aren't doing that (since they are not required to legally).

So...expect word to leak out fast. shite, Faraci is already scheduled to go on SkyTV right after the screening.

However, grain of salt. These screenings have a tendency to get people high as frick with glee and the word isn't always reality.

I don't know who I would like to punch more: Devin Faraci or Harry Knowles.

I just want someone to tell me "It's good" or "It's bad" That's it. I haven't bought tickets and we have a couple of parties to go to this weekend. You think it will be possible for me to just walk up Saturday/Sunday afternoon and buy tickets?

Devin by far. I go back to the Chud forum days back when he was just an a-hole poster.

Faraci is a huge a-hole, but he shoots straight about movies.. as long as it's not Marvel anyways.

Got my tickets for Thursday night at 10:30. Fingers crossed I can make it three more days without social media ruining it.

Oh, I can do that. I mean, everything big, I've managed to see the weekend it opened. And God knows, this will be playing on half the screens in Baton Rouge, with showtimes starting at 10 a.m.

What a completely disrespectful thing to do. If someone offers to do me a huge favor, and ask a simple fricking request in return, I'm fricking greatful.

100 percent aren't honoring it because they aren't required to. They could have required them to. Likely, they want them to talk.

He was right about the Xmen trailer.

I don't think phantom menace got shite on initially.

That would be encouraging. It would mean that they know people will like it, though a sneak preview without a NDA would have the same effect.

I'm traveling all week so can't see it until Tuesday night so I'm signin off tomorrow until then.

I'm kind of worried about it getting spoiled, but fortunately I'll be international so basically just not gonna talk to anyone. I've given notice to all friends that they are forever dead to me if they send me anything.

I can't decide if I want to go looking for spoilers or avoid it until Friday when I get to see it. I normally don't mind being spoiled but I feel like I may want to go into this one blind.



Maybe someone will make a review thread so I can cautiously scroll through and read the thoughts before deciding if I want to go ahead and dive in.
