Months and months ago, some random dude on Twitter talked about how he heard from a friend of a friend or something who had reportedly auditioned for the movie. And the audition was apparently for the role of someone playing a Matrix video game in the movie. That's it. That's all we had to go on. So I mentioned it here as a "what if" point of discussion, as one does on a message board thread about a movie before it even goes into production, literally years before it even hits theaters. I'm sorry, but no rational person would require spoiler tags on such a clearly obvious game of telephone that far in advance. It was just pure conjecture/rumor at that point, no one here had a single issue with it being discussed, and, like I said, we discussed it for a good long while publicly. But according to you, nope, to use your own language, the Spilner decree doth declare that a blatant "spoiler," we have to shroud it in spoiler tags, and can only discuss vague rumors now in the shadows, so as to preserve the pure, virgin experience of someone who actively chooses to participate in public movie discussion all day every day, months in advance of those movies hitting theaters.
Still, I agreed to the "rules" two weeks ago, as ridiculous as they can be in certain instances, and I should have used spoiler tags accordingly. In this particular case, however, when someone pointed out the particular thing they pointed out, in regards to something a number of us already talked about publicly in this very thread, I figured it was fine to mention again. For someone such as yourself, who posts here as much as you do, it really is odd what you selectively claim to read and not read. You seem to do this in a lot of threads. You post in them perhaps more than anyone else, but when we mention that something has already been discussed - spoiler or not - you never seem to recall that conversation when it conveniently fits your position.
