See what I mean? I've ruined it for you guys.

Terribly sorry Lauren.

Hi Lauren. :) I for one use spoiler quotes so as not to leak information if others don't want to see it, which is a forum rule anyhow.

The real question is, why are the pictures up on that website if the information is not to be revealed? Who put it there? I'm thinking it wasn't you guys and that kinda bothers me that you're so upset about it. It's like that person who was selling the DVD on eBay.
I will, however, refrain from commenting any further on the issue, whether spoiler or not, until after it airs.

Spoilers don't help. The information is still there, free to be taken by guests and posted elsewhere.

Blame the dumb-dumb execs and the PR marketing people...and me.

Well the blame can't be put on any like me since that website is PUBLIC and anyone can see it. Spoilers are at least SOMETHING you can avoid reading if you want to.

I feel bad for Lauren and Co. but at the same time I don't feel guilty for talking about it unless I did not use spoilers. One has the choice whether or not to read/look at something.

Also I think PBL makes many good points...there is so much more to be seen and I haven't lost ANY interest in seeing the movie.

Lauren, I'm sincerely sorry that had to happen. If it makes you feel any better, I haven't read any of these spoilers either. (Personally, I think having the entire beginning posted on CN.com is very generous as it is)

That guy on eBay with the leaked promotional materials is one thing. But for CARTOON NETWORK themselves to give away info that the Foster's creators didn't want? Is it any wonder why so many people think CN is going downhill, and why I don't feel any guilt whatsover about referring to the execs as the idiots and morons they are?

Oh very much agreed there, however, why do the creators of Foster's have to stick with CN anyway? I wish they could go "primetime" and get on channel 11 or 5 or something like that...would be so much better for them, methinks.
I hope Lauren or Craig can go on that website and take those pictures down, may be for the best.

Nor should you, because you're right, they are. People knew about the Manhatten Project but still had the sense to keep their mouths shut. I'm disappointed with the execs, and with some of our own members, to say the least. People should have more common sense. :( :'( :frankiemad:

They're probably under contract, that's my guess.

Lauren, I'm sorry this had to happen. It did, and it shouldn't have. It's sad. It really is. :( :'( Don't worry, I haven't read any of this stuff, nor do I plan to.

IMO, Foster's is to CN what Pixar was to the Eisner-led Disney. You know what I'm talking about here.

Gah...I'm sorry for this had to happen. *shakes head* That's another strike against Turner for me. It'll be another strike if they knew the info shouldn't have been leaked.

Please don't blame yourself. You didn't know. :)

I'm going to agree with Lauren's advice. Next time, when I see something that spoils the story and post something about it, I'm going to put a spoiler block around it. Thanks, Lauren. Hope you and Craig keep up the good work.

I hate what happened, but we had no reason to assume that if CN put the pictures up, that the show's crew was not in favor of them doing that. It's really CN's and Turner's fault, if anyone is to blame, but as I said, it really still leaves many questions yet-unanswered, and I for one would never have figured out at which point that scene takes place in the movie. It certainly does nothing to diminish MY desire to see the movie, over and over, and I'm probably speaking for most of the fans. A real fan is going to watch it no matter how much information they gather via spoilers. I could read the entire script, word for word, and I promise I will still be like, Superglued to my tv Thanksgiving evening!

And yeah, I can totally see Voxxyn's point comparing CN and their treatment of Foster's to the Eisner-era Disney's treatment of John Lasseter and his people.

(Off-topic according to PBL) Speaking of unanswered, when would the sneak peek for Edo no Rebasu be answered? All I hafta do is pray.

Spoiler Below
Anyway, I hope that no spoilers will come in the future until after "GWH" premieres.

That really sounded rather insulting. >:(

Off-topic according to Cassini90125 as well. Please stick to the subject at hand, okay?

Yeah I agree with PBL here. LOL I COULD read the whole script too and still want to see it! And yes, several times. Once will not be enough, as it usually isn't with most episodes. :)

Ok....I was gone for school for like 7 HOURS, and this is what happened when I was gone.

To be honest, I don't find ANYTHING that has to do with this...unless people are kind enough to let me see the whatever-it-was, I will be forced to be clueless. =P

Unless, of course, the picture was removed, then I would understand.

And D'OH! My theory "Wilt's creator is a girl" has gone down the drain. Unless...the pic was a LIE! O.O;;

I highly doubt it was a lie, antgirl1. Sorry. Wilt's creator is aparantly a lil' boy.

And the picture has been removed.

Hey I just saw the ad again (it's probably the 2nd one), and didn't....

Spoiler Below

I can't belive what I've just missed while I was doing homework!!:wiltshock: I thought it was Mac's mom!!!! Oh, well...:( It was a pretty cool theory, though. But still, I do wonder who *is* Mac's mom's IF? Eh, don't spoil it if you know.

I honestly don't think they ever mentioned Mac's mom's IF being in this show. It was supposed to be Wilt, Ed, and Coco's creators (or in Coco's case the scientists who studied her) there was nothing mentioned about Mac's mom. So we might not find that out at all! (And to be really honest, I don't care much about who Mac's mom's IF is, considering how she treated Bloo by basically kicking him out by forcing her son to get rid of him.)

I think that rumor started on Wikipedia. I'd love to see her IF, but considering the source I don't think it'll happen.

Thanks everyone. I didn't want anyone to feel guilty, I just didn't want word to spread out of control.

CN went ahead and took the photo down. It looks like it was an oversight. There are so many hundreds of people working at Turner, not everybody gets the information they need and I'm sure somebody just went "aaaw, that's a cute shot. Let's put that on the press site!" I don't think anybody went "Screw Craig and Lauren! We're puttng this up!" Except for this one mistake, the folks at CN have kept everything we asked them under wraps. Nothing in the commercials or the synopses.

So I guess I was overreacting when I blamed CN.

Thanks again you guys! -lauren:)

Oh that's good, glad to know CN is treating Foster's with some respect.

Yeah, it's good to know that this has been delt with in a proper manner. I was about to get seriously ticked at CN for posting those pics with the spoilers, but it's good that they took them down and had some respect for you all and Foster's. :)

Usually I just try to stray far, far, FAR away from spoilers. Sometimes good and exciting things can come out of them but other times terrible things can come out of them, thus ruining huge plot twists or anything else that might have been meant to be kept under wraps.

But to get back on topic, we've got a little more than a week until the premiere of the movie! I'm getting so excited! XD

They started showing another ad this week.

Plus Foster's is mainly made for kids, so I don't think they'll ever include a gang,gang (The punks who like rap in praticular).

I disagree with that. Wilt looks like someone who got snitched, and also, in the ads you can see he's hanging out in a bad part of town, or at least seems to be.

You never know, it could just be one of Bloo's theorys. XD

I tend to disagree as well, NOT so much because of Wilt's condition, but because of the episode, "Eddie Monster". Basically, what those kids were doing down at the junkyard, and sole purpose behind them creating their Extremasaurs, was the Imaginary equivalent of dog-fighting. That was little different from kids in real life stealing Pit Bulls and other dogs, hiding them in abandoned buildings, and pitting them against each other in places like junkyards, old warehouses, vacant lots, etc. It's the whole, "My dog can beat up your dog, so that means you have to respect me" mentality, only with Extremasaurs instead of dogs. Even though it was handled in a comedic way, without the blood and gore associated with real dog-fights, there was still that strong implication that Eduardo WAS in real danger of being hurt or killed. That is a pretty strong and controversial subject matter to take up, when you think about it, and these sorts of activities ARE often associated with gang behavior, so I don't think that the Foster's creativity crew would be afraid to tackle other such issues. They would just do that in such a way that the little kids really would not "get it", and would just see a funny, albeit somewhat tense, situation, but older viewers would be able to "read between the lines" and figure it out.

Oh my gosh! It has been so long since I've been gone (due to internet trouble). All this talk is really interesting.

Only *7* sleeps until Good Wilt Hunting! :D

Probably a IF she had to abandon the same way she did by making Mac give up his. She feels no regrets I'm sure.

On the old board, I made this post:

"126 days
3029 hours
181754 minutes
10905267 seconds

...is too long to wait!"

Now it's only seven days away. How awesome is that?!

How the time goes by... YAY!!!!:D

We should do a count down for every day drawing closer to our "Christmas". I'll start.

7 days :).

Scenes from the game:

Man, is that a rough-looking crowd in the background or WHAT? They look more like the cast of "AHHHH! Real Monsters!" or Monsters, Inc than any of the Imaginary Friends we've seen so far! Anyone notice how much that little short guy(?) on the far right in the first pic looks like "Boo" in her monster costume? And Wilt is totally playing "hard ball" here, if "play" is the right word to use in this particular situation!

pitbulllady

The shots, for the record, came from the end credits of whatever it was that preceeded tonight's rerun of "Hiccy Burp".

Well we've seen from 'Eddie Monster' just how monsterous some imaginaries can look. Especially if they were created by bullies, or 'jerky teenage boys'. And given the neighbourhood that it looks like, a lot of the local youths who would hang around those parts would make monsterous looking imaginaries.
