this goes to the heart of the problem.
ilm is full of awful thread titles of late, time was you'd call something what it was, now most titles are 30-40 lines long and in all-caps. needs an editor. you knew where you were with old titles. they did the job!

that thread title is an all-time classic, forks!
― sarahell, Saturday, 26 January 2013 20:24 (thirteen years ago)
well that's what i'm saying: it fits the description and is unintentionally misworded but still works
― an old penis drawing is now "new and notable" (forksclovetofu), Saturday, 26 January 2013 20:32 (thirteen years ago)
the key phrase is "unintentionally misworded"

ive never understood the "anticipate" convention to thread naming either, why use that word when you know the thread will be used after the film's release much longer than before it?
ned's Star Wars 7 shit talk a bold new direction imo
― ❏❐❑❒ (gr8080), Monday, 28 January 2013 03:29 (thirteen years ago)
is "anticipate" like the mis-spelled detritus thing?
― sarahell, Monday, 28 January 2013 04:23 (thirteen years ago)
I've always read it like that - like it's called "anticipate" less because anyone will anticipate anything, and more because this is ILX shorthand for "thread about a specific film."
― Doctor Casino, Monday, 28 January 2013 04:28 (thirteen years ago)
those seem like two different things to me, even if the anticipation is really a false enthusiasm
― mh, Monday, 28 January 2013 04:44 (thirteen years ago)
i get the "ilx shorthand" explanation, still wish people would drop it tho
