1. No swearing, no outrageous vulgarity. We might edit it, or we might just delete the comment altogether.

2. If you want your comment to be posted, write like an adult. Even if you're not one. If you write like a 14-year-old girl ("OMG thiz actor is hott i luv this movie he is soooo fine!"), we'll delete your comment.

3. NO SPOILERS. If you want to discuss spoiler-y things, write "SPOILERS" first to warn people. That being said, if you haven't seen a movie yet, it's wise to be careful when you look at people's comments on the review.

4. The first time you post, your comment might not show up immediately. First-time commenters go into a queue to be approved. Subsequent postings (assuming you use the same name and e-mail address) will usually appear right away, without moderation.

5. If you have a question for Eric that you want an answer to, you should e-mail him rather than posting it as a comment. He probably won't answer if it's a comment, because he doesn't like to post comments on his own articles.

6. Along those same lines, we prefer that you e-mail us if you spot an error or a typo, rather than posting a comment about it. After the mistake gets fixed, your comment will still be there, and people will be like "What is this guy talking about?"

7. Don't ask questions of the general readership if those questions are stupid. Questions like "How can I contact this actor?" or "Where can I buy the dress Lindsay Lohan was wearing in that one scene?" are stupid.

8. Responding to other commenters is fine, but be civil. Also, if the sole purpose of your response is to mock the person's spelling, grammar, or logic, think twice. It's usually best to let such idiocy speak for itself. (Exception: when your response is really, really funny.)

9. Some readers first became aware of Eric's writing when he was at Brigham Young University. Still, please don't post comments that assume all readers are Mormon. The majority of them aren't, actually.

10. To avoid redundancies, please read the other comments that have already been posted before posting yours. You may often find that someone has already said what you were going to say, or that the question you were going to raise has been answered.
