Regarding spoilers; Please put "(Spoilers)" in the title of your post if you anticipate spoilers, as we do not currently have a spoiler tag available. If your post contains an image that could be considered a spoiler, please mark the thread as NSFW so the image gets blurred. As far as how long to wait until the post is no longer a spoiler, please just use your best judgement. Everyone has a different idea on this, so we don't want to make any hard limits.
Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.
Failure to follow these guidelines will result in your post/comment being removed and/or more severe actions. All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

One night I was re-watching Almodovar's "Átame!" ("Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!" in English) and my older sister came in and sat to watch.
As I'd seen it before, I knew a very, very long and graphic sex scene was coming, so I got up and went to the bathroom.
When I returned, only after I was well and fully sure that scene was over, my sister said - "I'm so glad you walked out right when you did", yeah no kidding, I did it on purpose.
Now for a friend of mine... his family are born-again Christians, it was his turn to pick a movie that night, and he'd chosen "Easy Rider", yeah, this guy could be completely oblivious like that.
After an hour and change of uneasy watching with a palpable tension in the air... the acid kicked in... in the New Orleans raised cemetery. That was the straw that broke the camel's back, that's when the yelling started in my friend's living room.
