I didn't know about the leak until now. Now I'm going to track it down when I otherwise wouldn't have. Thanks Warner Brothers.

The guerilla marketing is working then!
marketing? We're going to pay for a movie in this economy?
Why do I need a video of a photo?
Because I couldn't find the photos. But feel free to share a link to them if you have one to contribute to the conversation instead of being critical of it.
Seems a single image would be good for gaining attention. Turning it into a "leak" makes a story.
I'm not sure what to believe anymore , lol.
Not to argue about what's right or wrong, but companies spend a lot of (marketing) money on building hype for upcoming projects, and that stuff is planned out way ahead of time. Leaks fuck up their plans for what and when to release this stuff, and can mess up their timing.
They want the hype to be at its peak around release. Leaks can build hype at the wrong moment, and it can die down before the film releases.
Won't someone think of the corporations?!
Fair point, but unless you're just interested in seeing something do poorly, leaks can absolutely fuck over somethings chances of success, often with no particular benefit.
Possibly, but I'd think there's an equal chance that it interests new customers. I'd have to see data proving either way.
But it's still ridiculous to be so concerned about the corporation that made a kabillion dollars in profit last year. If they're so go at their business that they can make those kinds of profits, one leaked image is not a problem.
It was me, I'm the leaker.
No! I am the leaker!
No! I am Spartacus... I mean the leaker!
No, it was me
Wait...Tumblr still an thing.
Yeah. It's better now that it's not in the public eye or as popular. Still no porn tho :/
So all the crazy people (otherkin, headmates, and so on) moved to Twitter?
I mean, crazy people are everywhere. The more users, the more crazy people. Less users, less crazy.
Now its just full of people not hating on anyone for much, and people just vibing doing things they like.
I'd say the healthiest its ever been
Good.
I AM SPARTACUS
