Screw you and your morals, Benji, I want to see who was the lighting effects supervisor! 

[GhostMachine]

The only way I'd want to see a mid or post credits scene? if its Jar Jar showing up, only to be decapitated by a lightsaber before he can even say a single word.

 

[LL!]

Good input, GM.

[apsham]

Man, that Jar-Jar Binks sure was an annoying character.

If I ever make a movie (spoiler: unlikely) the credits will consist solely of 'See IMDB for credits'.

Fixed.

[Hellraiser]

Does anyone here actually watches the credits? I only do it for the Marvel movies and other superhero movies that might have a mid- or post-credit scene or if there is a nice song playing during the credits (like "Song of the Lonely Mountain" for the first Hobbit movie). I know it is disrespectful and all that but I just can't be bothered to sit through them most of the time.

[DFF]

I have a friend who refuses to leave the cinema until all the credits have rolled. Obviously this was hilarious during notoriously long trails like the Matrix trilogy etc.

[Benji]

I feel like the key grip probably isn't going to be upset if some random guy he doesn't know doesn't see his name. Dude's getting paid, how much credit do you want? How about I start throwing my name on every bag of sweets I sell :/

[Hellraiser]

In some rare cases I feel they're just f*cking with us when it comes to the credits. Like the extended edition for LotR where they put the name of every member of the Tolkein fanclub in it that joined before a certain date or something like that. Ended up being about 26 or 27 minutes long. Who watches that?

[Benji]

Tolkien Fan Club members, probably.

[Hellraiser]

My guess would be that about half of them probably didn't even enjoy the movie trilogy.

Spoilers are out there, be vigilant, and anyone who reads them and wants to post about them, or even sees the film going forward, please mark as spoilers and note as such so people can enjoy a major pop culture moment without it being spoiled! Thank you

[DFF]

The early reviews are encouraging, 4/5 in Empire and 5/5 in The Guardian.

Sunday, when I'm watching, suddenly feels like a billion lightyears away. I'm almost certain something is going to get spoiled for me before I watch it.

Missing the chance for "long time ahead, in a galaxy far far away" :/

[apsham]

Yeah - I can't do opening night movies so it's going to be a day or two until I see this and I am absolutely terrified that something will get ruined for me.

[Benji]

Just a day or two? This damn thing's going to be booked up for weeks.

[gunnar hendershow]

As expected with the review embargo getting lifted the spoilers will come flooding out. Seeing it tomorrow night so I'm going to be curbing my social media usage until then.
