My first response here was angry and almost as rude as the original poster's. That doesn't help anybody, so I'm rewriting it.
Anyway, the movie was out AGES ago.
Most of the people who research movies on IMDb did not see them when they first came out. I had never heard of this movie until a few weeks ago, and most IMDb users still haven't heard of it. When they come here, they know nothing about the movie and are looking for help deciding whether to invest the time and expense required to watch it, which often—as with this movie—requires buying it at considerable cost from overseas vendors through unconventional channels like eBay.
I came to these message boards looking for information on how to get the the full movie on DVD with English subtitles. As you can see from earlier messages on this board, DVD availability has been a recurring topic, and that is VERY common on IMDb message boards for similarly well-reviewed but hard-to-find movies. The very first first thing I saw was your spoiler.
Literally when you typed "Love of Siam" in Google, the first few things that pops up is that the boys doesn't end up together.
I didn't do that. I came here.
If you don't want any spoilers, you shouldn't even be looking at the forum anyway.
That's just wrong. Sharing spoilers is NOT the primary function of IMDb message boards. As you can see from earlier posts on this board, it's customary for people who ARE sharing spoilers to say that very clearly in the titles of their messages. Here's a good example:
"*SPOILER ALERT* Why I love/hate this movie, and on the American POV" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1152282/board/nest/160155661).
I see that you had joined IMDb just a few days before you first posted this message, so you may not have known then how these boards work.
There are many times where people on the internet spoiled the plot of the movie. You think I'm dumb enough to reply to each thread crying how the movie was spoiled? No, because it's my fault for going onto a DISCUSSION BOARD in the first place.
Geez... It's like people don't know how to use their brain these days.
That is unnecessarily rude, but I'm trying not to reflect that rudeness back at you. Believe it or not, I'm trying to help you use IMDb in a way that will benefit both you and other users.
You were wrong to post a spoiler in the title of an IMDb message board post. You seem to have done it innocently, because you didn't know then that these boards are different from others you evidently have used elsewhere online. If you plan to continue posting on this site, please at least consider not putting spoilers in message titles.
