A user even wrote that Bond resigned at the end of SPECTRE without using the spoiler tags almost a year before the movie was released. This was in the "Bond 25 title" thread.
I also hope not to see him in a Bond movie again. I wasn't excited about his casting in the first place, and didn't like him in Spectre.
Seems to be a problem everywhere when it comes to the Bond fandom (I'm sure it is in others as well, but I don't have enough experience in others to say with any certainty). The real problem in other places I've been is that speaking up against those that willfully and deliberately spoil things in that manner seems to only get you in trouble while the actual offenders are generally protected from discipline even when there are rules in place that are supposed to keep their behavior from happening in the first place.
I've had good bits of both Skyfall and Spectre spoiled for me, and even in the case of the last film, I was actively trying to avoid spoilers and tried to keep away from areas of the forum (not this one) where there could have been some expectation of a rogue spoiler or two to slip out. The problem last time around was that everyone seemed to think that because Sony had the contents of the script leaked out, that that somehow entitled them to run around divulging the contents of what was essentially stolen material. It's really annoying, as others have already pointed out.
I agree with you man?
SP was just a mess for me. The writing was a disappointment and all in all I'm sad to say that tge film felt like a complete waste of time. It's definitely my least favourite of the Craig era and an unacceptable squandering of the talents of all involved.
EoN are in desperate need of sorting out their scripting issues.There's something that's just not right about SP being forgettable but even Waltz as Bond's big bad being equally forgettable. EoN shouldn't have to wait for a BvS experience to seriously address such a fundamental part of the film making process.
You've always caught me out just like Donald Trump. Still what's was i? Ah, i hope Daniel Craig once again signed the contact for Bond 25. Again, fingers crossed :-)
It's a shame he'll be banned again. We could've used him in the fight against the Martians. >-)
Sorry to stop the Martian fighter. But when you don't know Bond from sci fi, it's time to go.
At that the time that story was written, the name Oberhauser hadn't been mentioned. It wasn't a guess.
To be precise, the Mail on Sunday story was published Nov. 22, 2014. Waltz's participation wasn't confirmed by Eon until December. At that time, Eon only said Waltz was playing Oberhauser and said nothing about Blofeld.
"Anybody could guess that." Anybody could *guess* that should be playing the stock market. The odds of guessing 1) the actor 2) guessing his character and 3) guessing his character was really another character were astronomical.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. I doubt too many people walked into The Empire Strikes Back going "I wonder if this is the movie where Darth Vader is revealed to be Luke's father?". It can be used effectively, and it can be used poorly. It's not always a "cheap aha moment" nor always "substandard writing".
"James, I am your brother."

Not exactly Empire, but close enough for a gag. ;)
"Hello, James." (Alec walks out of the chamber in the memorial park)
"It's alright, Alec. You can come out. I knew it was you."
"How so?"
"The trailer voice said so."
I've read this somewhere sometime ago and certainly can't take credit for it, but I thought it was funny and memorized it ever since. :D
Calling the movie SPECTRE gave it away.
