This happens all the time in the Cafe - people will mention a movie, but only as an imdb link like [this](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0427275/) . This is really off-pissing, as there’s no clue in the URL what the fuck they’re talking about. I hated opening IMDB pages just to find out a title before, and I hate it even more with their new suck-ass layout. So I tend not to follow them any more. So please, please, take a moment and type in the movie title, rather than a “here” or a “this”. If you think the title is a spoiler, spoilerbox it. Don’t make me play your stupid parlour games. Or I’ll have to hurt you. ---

I agree with Mr D here. Instead of typing “here,” just type the title of the damn movie, will you? ---

Here’s a slight hint: the practice of doing exactly what a poster just said was annoying (often with very good reason) is not particularly funny. It’s just assinine. Yes, I know you mean to be funny. You just fail at it. ---

Yes, I know you mean to be funny. You just fail at it. “You” as in the 11 people who thought it was funny enough to post? If 11 isn’t enough, what’s the minimum number of people to find something funny for it to be officially funny? 12? 100? 523,185? ---
