This is the key difference between what I wrote and what IGN reported

Posted by: ShawnMR on Nov 15, 11:18 in response to ShawnMR's post My thoughts on the [HOBIT] teaser release

"Worth noting here is that WB has another major 2012 tent pole release that I'm betting we'll see a full trailer for around the same time: The Dark Knight Rises. Its more likely, I feel, that that trailer becomes attached to Holmes given the closer genres and studio relationship. Not to mention, WB doesn't want either of these films stealing attention from the other. While Hobbit could still be attached to Holmes, Tintin is just as good of a bet thanks to the Jackson, 3D, and IMAX connections. They could additionally opt to debut it with Tintin on December 21st, followed by sending out prints with it attached to Holmes after that date."

IGN doesn't even mention TDKR, let alone do they use it to support *why* Tintin could be the more likely choice.

I will say, however, that I should have posted some of my own paragraph in the original post here instead of the link by itself. That's my mistake. But please don't accuse me of only reporting what IGN did, because that isn't true.

You're just repeating what IGN says. BATM3 prologue/extended trailer is with MISS4. {nm} Antibody Nov 15, 09:44

Incorrect. (By that logic, IGN is repeating what I've been saying for over a year.) Also, BATM3 prologue has nothing to do with the actual ShawnMR Nov 15, 10:51

What logic? In any case it's not an original thought. You wouldn't be the first or only one to think HOBIT teaser could be with TINTN. Antibody Nov 15, 10:57

Never claimed it would be, all I said is its my opinion (and has been for awhile). Read more carefully in the future before dimissing an ShawnMR Nov 15, 10:59

Everything you said about HOBIT was in the source IGn article, which you avoided liniking directly. Antibody Nov 15, 11:01

You can make the same case for the vast majority of posts on here, including some of your own. You're kind of being **** about this, frankly {nm} ShawnMR Nov 15, 11:03

Everyone knows link to the source is a major pet peeve. {nm} Antibody Nov 15, 11:06

I agree, which is why I said it was an error (and is fixed). Unfairly painting my opinion as something else is a bigger pet peeve, with all ShawnMR Nov 15, 11:08

I meant you could have post a link to the IGN source with all the info, rather than to your blog. {nm} Antibody Nov 15, 11:11

If I was just reporting what they were, I would have. But I gave actual reasons for my opinion...they didn't. {nm} ShawnMR Nov 15, 11:12

The mislink was a simple error. You fail to mention the fact that I sourced ComingSoon *and* IGN, the former which links directly to IGN's ShawnMR Nov 15, 11:05
