Anyone else staying completely spoiler free?

I just wondered if anyone else was thinking of doing the same thing. Lord knows it'll be difficult!

But I'll do my best to avoid or ignore what my Bond-infested mind picks up on the ride to SKYFALL.

I have promised myself that I'm going to stay completely spolier free for Skyfall. Back when Quantum Of Solace was in production, I read every spoiler under the sun, which ultimately had a negative effect on my experience of seeing the film for the first time, as I had a very well-informed idea about what was going to happen, and most of the suspense was lost.

You can't stay away... not really.

So all in all while I don't actively seek spoilers I don't fear them, if they really matter the film is less worthy in any event.

I want to get a taste of what the film is actually *about*, which we don't seem to have yet. Once that info has surfaced, I'll back away from the spoiler section. (Though its entirely possible that given EON's secrecy and unwillingness to divulge much, what the film is about is in itself a major spoiler).
I probably shouldn't have said "completely", as this is what I intend to do.

Dude, we got a support group for that. I'm doing it. Come join us at the other topic. Our motto should be 'It's possible here...hopefully'

You simply just CAN'T!! I have found that the only people not interested in the hype of a new Bond release are the people not interested in OO7. I admit it. I'm one of those that can't WAIT until the premier, picking up ANY scrap of information about the project that comes along. The same curiosity factor that exists for SKYFALL, existed in QOS, CR and all those that went before. I don't think you can call yourself a Bond fan and NOT be curious. (It's not like we don't know how the movie is going to END or anything...)
For me, I was a little put off by the title. I don't know why the writers decided NOT to go with something Fleming wrote (there are still a few left). But still... it makes me curious.

I miss the days before the '24/7 internet news' where you didn't really know what the next Bond film was going to consist of until you saw it in the cinema. I think that wanting to know every single detail about the film, takes away the magic of the anticipation and excitement of going to see it for the first time.
Plus, as much as I love the world of 007, I don't wish to read about the new film every single day.

Yes I am (mostly).

That's pretty much the way I approach SF, too. In those glorious days of the past there was literally nothing known about the production. During Moore's seven films there generally was a press event during shooting on location, but all they brought from that was a few sparse facts about production and cast, seldom more. Even when the title was already known you practically knew nothing about the story or stunts, not until you went to the theatre and saw it yourself. I definitely prefer that to the current custom that stuffs half the film down my throat with the trailer today.

For me, knitting together the snippets of information we get is part of the fun, so no attempt at staying spoiler free for me.
I'm with you. Mharkin's "The Structure of Skyfall" thread is a personal favorite.

That thread sits there like an apple in the garden of eden. However, I'm no Eve.

Still debating whether to check out spoliers and trailers.

I don't need to know that the movie is being shot or what they're doing. Just give me a heads up when it comes out and I'll go see it.

I'll watch the teaser trailer, obviously, but apart from that I'm doing quite good!

Haven't followed any BOND AND M 7 news since the press conference.

My feelings exactly.
Having followed the productions of CR and QOS quite closely, I can't say that I've missed following the production on SF. I find that I don't need to know any of that information. It won't make the film get here any quicker, and there's plenty of other things to do rather than trying to figure out what Craig and the rest of the cast and crew are up to today.

NO.
Hey guys, you do know Bardem plays M's illegitimate son? He's a sleeper agent who got turned and has been brainwashed to kill M a la Fleming's TMWTGG.
You didn't? Well you do now!
