pls don’t go see this - pirated or otherwise - because stephen hillenburg specifically said no spin offs before he died and paramount has been doing everything they can to spit on his legacy.
You think private companies actually care deeply about OpSec other than just shutting down legitimate criticism?
Security costs money and that’s supposed to go in executives pockets don’t you know. Wasting it on something like security means less pay for Reed Hastings! Fuck the security, executives must profit! /s
You say poor opsec, I say free advertising.
Would anyone in this thread have paid ANY attention to this movie otherwise?
Especially considering the last Spongebob movie was an atrocious 3d animated abomination. Oh god, I sound like Squidward.
At least somebody still does since all the VAs are getting so old they don’t sound like themselves anymore.
Lmao, yup. Prowlarr found one single release on TPB.
It does have those ‘property of Netflix’ watermarks and timestamps throughout though.
I don’t know why, but it’s very sweet to see Jill Talley and Tom Kenny right next to each other in the cast list. Usually they’re separated since Jill only does minor characters and Tom is the titular Spongebob.
They got married after meeting each other as cast members of HBO’s Mr. Show. Always nice to see them actually paired up.
EDIT: Also the leaked movie is practically Standard Definition and damn Tom and Mr. Lawrence are getting so old they’re struggling to do the voices as clear as they used to.
Unrelated to the opsec, why is a SpongeBob Movie premiering on Netflix? Isn’t Nickelodeon Paramount?
Netflix and nickelodeon has a partnership and must give netflix so many new things each year.
I love the casualness of this
It’s surprising it doesn’t happen more often.
They send out review copies to “journalists” months in advance, all it takes is one of them to have poor opsec.
for this kind of release but bigger blockbuster I guess critics are invited to see it in private
you mean they got the date wrong on a release? that’s not a security issue
It means that pirates don’t have to wait for release dates, because Netflix didn’t secure their servers.
But it’s a good thing that Netflix serves DRM to my devices through my paid account. We wouldn’t want me watching it later without paying them again!
The video’s watermarks clearly indicate that it’s a leak.
The image appears to be of a leak of the movie.
Excuse my ignorance, but what am I looking at?
Looks like someone posted a leaked internal copy for everyone to stream months before the release date?
Ok that makes sense, thanks!
