Yeah... I was in an ostensibly unrelated totally non-spoiler thread, and a troll seems to have posted the biggest spoiler in the movie right there in the middle of everything. I'm really hoping he's chain-yanking, but I have a feeling I now know something I was actively avoiding. Sigh.
I'm all for supporting the official site, but you might just want to stay away from the message boards altogether. At least until the current outbreak of trolls clears up, anyway.
Man, what a pain in the backside.
I now return me to my regularly scheduled lurking.

:(
actually it was totally on purpose (there is a special hell for nasty trolls)
but the mods at the site have cleaned it up...
and hopefully banned the troll.
Actually I can't find the 'Open Letter to Shakespeare', I tried the search but didn't find it that way either...
can anyone give me a link?

It is a huge problem and I AM EXTREMELY FURIOUS BY WHAT I'VE LEARNED.
It is the very reason why I've come home to this site, hoping that there would be none of that s**t here.
And just seeing "WARNING: do NOT go to the browncoats site" makes me realize that I've probably made the right decision.

Hi. I'm new here, but not a troll. I promise. I'm a poster at the Universal board and wanted to come here to see what other fans were saying about Serenity. When I saw this topic, I had to reply. It has gotten better over there. I think the mods have identified the trolls and have weeded them out. Most of them anyway. I didn't see the film but was completely spoiled by one of the posts that showed up on the main page. The title completely gave away the big thing that the vocal minority is upset about. There is one woman on the board that is really upset about this. She is the one who created the site in protest. I went to the site and there are quite a few posts to her telling her to hang it up and stop being so negative about the film. I will be adding my opinion to the comments section of her site soon because I feel the same way. But just so you guys know, it does seem to be getting better over there. I post there as MrsReynolds, and have been acting in defense of the film pretty much all day now. I was off today with nothing else to do, sadly! lol

Quote:Point taken. My point, however, was that the trailer DOESN'T give away anything. There isn't anything in it that we didn't already know, in one form or another. This just happens to have a flashier format.

And it looks pretty gorram shiny to boot. It really shouldn't be missed by anybody.

The 'trolls' are pretty much just one person, but he's really in need of attention. He's currently posting in just about every thread trying to get people riled up. Unfortunately, there are just enough people naive enough to respond to him to keep him entertained.
He'll go away soon enough, but just so you know, he's still at it.

By Browncoats site do you mean the Universal site - serenitymovie.com?
I'm avoiding that place. Even the old forum isn't safe, with spoilers in titles also.
Now we have five whole months of avoiding spoilers! They're like land mines, they go off when least expected.
I already know too much just from the trailer.
Console yourself by knowing the movie may yet change somewhat and that would make them all wrong. Personally I'm tired of reading spoilers but I do want to know how much people loved the movie and read about their experiences without knowing the plot and ending. Most people are pretty good at conveying that, when they try.
