we had had a discussion about after the movie comes out their will be tons of newbies flooding up this board who have NEVER read the books but have just seen the movie. They would be really annoying. BUT, if they never read the books, they wouldnt know about 667 Dark Avenue until the next movie!
we could be safe for now.

Assuming that the first movie does well enough to spurn a second in a first place, and for the love of God "movie newbies" aren't the suck. They'll probably start reading the books after the movies come out, that's what happened to me a lot, and don't act like they're all going to be like soccergirl or something. We have a lot of good new members now and I appreciate them being here.
So before you go "HAY GUYS WELL BE SAEF FROMS TEH EBUL NOOBS" remember that they won't necessarily be annoying (I'm actually looking forward to listing the differences between the books and the movies to them and conversations about which version people like more), and we don't even know if they'll get all the way up to book six. That, plus the fact that there are a LOT of ASOUE message boards now, doesn't mean they'll all come flooding into here like...like a simile I can't think of.

Let's see if I can complete your simile: Like crows flying to Nevermore Tree in the evening. It will be fun to list differences in the books and movies. Listing is one of life's greatest pleasures. The films will give us something to discuss after the book series has run its course. we had had a discussion about after the movie comes out their will be tons of newbies flooding up this board who have NEVER read the books but have just seen the movie. They would be really annoying. BUT, if they never read the books, they wouldnt know about 667 Dark Avenue until the next movie! we could be safe for now. Like Luna said, don't assume that newbies are plague-ridden rats or the equivalent. That sort of disparagement sounds rather odd coming from someone with just 600-some-odd posts, and who hasn't been here all that long. And what exactly do you mean by "they wouldn't know about 667 Dark Avenue"? They wouldn't know about the Snicket location, but they might find the forum anyway. We're one of the biggest Snicket forums on the whole wide web.

i know some of them wont be bad, there will be good ones. 667 Dark Avenue isnt till the 6th book. And movie one is only books 1-3.

Yeah, but you have to understand that most people dont type in 667 dark avenue to find this place. I imagine theyll just type in lemony snicket or teh whole title and thisll come up one way or another.
And I like "newbies" sometimes. Many of them are willing to learn about the books and understand them before going and saying stuff like "oh, tha cont olap dude is evile!" I was a Harry Potter "newbie" and I know a whole bunch of stuff about it now, having read and appreciated all 5 books.
People should give "newbies" more credit, because sometimes they deserve it. Not all, however, are so educated and do tend to be annoying. but besides them, there will be some great fans in the future because of the movie and we will actually have more people to talk to, and that is always a good thing to me.

I found this forum on Google when I typed in Lemony Snicket. It was on the second or third page I think.

I think maybe Tragedy shoud make a seperate section for Movie 1 and Movie 2 and so on. Then it wont be as crowded and it will spread everything out.

But movie 2 is currently in early pre production (I do know that they have held some auditions for it, though, like Caremlita Spats).
whatever, I guess that wouldnt hurt.

he could just put up the Movie 1 section now and Movie 2 later.

OR (a better idea and easier for everyone), we could just accept the "newbies" (what a terrible name) and get along and accept them. Its hard to be a "newbie." And you havent been here that long, Ineedyourhelp.

And by that criterion (or whatever the singular of criteria is) I am superior to you, Ineedyourhelp. I have been here for about half the time you have, and look at all my posts. But seriously, post count doesn't really matter. Post content does.

were not even talkin about that anymore, were talkin about a movie section. Then why bring it up? To gloat in the face of someone who doesn't come here as often but always writes helpful and thought-out things? Listen to Tocuna: it doesn't matter how long you've been here, how many posts you have, what your status is, because those'll all change and be forgotten, but people will remember if you say clever things, or if you discuss well, or, alternatively, if you post stupid things for the sake of post count.
