pls don't go see this - pirated or otherwise - because stephen hillenburg specifically said no spin offs before he died and paramount has been doing everything they can to spit on his legacy.

Unrelated to the opsec, why is a SpongeBob Movie premiering on Netflix? Isn't Nickelodeon Paramount?
Netflix and nickelodeon has a partnership and must give netflix so many new things each year.
You say poor opsec, I say free advertising.
Would anyone in this thread have paid ANY attention to this movie otherwise?
Especially considering the last Spongebob movie was an atrocious 3d animated abomination. Oh god, I sound like Squidward.
This one is also 3D animated
At least somebody still does since all the VAs are getting so old they don't sound like themselves anymore.
You think private companies actually care deeply about OpSec other than just shutting down legitimate criticism?
Security costs money and that's supposed to go in executives pockets don't you know. Wasting it on something like security means less pay for Reed Hastings! Fuck the security, executives must profit! /s
It's surprising it doesn't happen more often.
They send out review copies to "journalists" months in advance, all it takes is one of them to have poor opsec.
I’m guessing the copies they send to “journalists” have some sort of individualized watermark. Of course that would only fight leakers, not the “journalists” getting hacked
There are two in the top corners at least
for this kind of release but bigger blockbuster I guess critics are invited to see it in private
I love the casualness of this
Excuse my ignorance, but what am I looking at?
Looks like someone posted a leaked internal copy for everyone to stream months before the release date?
Ok that makes sense, thanks!
Lmao, yup. Prowlarr found one single release on TPB.
It does have those 'property of Netflix' watermarks and timestamps throughout though.
I don't know why, but it's very sweet to see Jill Talley and Tom Kenny right next to each other in the cast list. Usually they're separated since Jill only does minor characters and Tom is the titular Spongebob.
They got married after meeting each other as cast members of HBO's Mr. Show. Always nice to see them actually paired up.
EDIT: Also the leaked movie is practically Standard Definition and damn Tom and Mr. Lawrence are getting so old they're struggling to do the voices as clear as they used to.
Imagine wearing goggle to look into the future, that's sunlit the HUD
‘Are we supposed to take out Spiderman and Spongebob?’ Iranian cleric mocks US and says Tehran can’t strike back at targets of Soleimani’s stature because America only has fictional heroes
Real people are far more likely to disappoint.
Whoever runs the Oscars or whatever also doesn't seem to have good opsec; whenever those are about to happen is one of the best times to get quality pirated films of movies still in the theatre or even as of yet to be released to the public in a digital format meant to show the film to critics/judges.
you mean they got the date wrong on a release? that's not a security issue
The video’s watermarks clearly indicate that it’s a leak.
The image appears to be of a leak of the movie.
It means that pirates don't have to wait for release dates, because Netflix didn't secure their servers.
But it's a good thing that Netflix serves DRM to my devices through my paid account. We wouldn't want me watching it later without paying them again!
It is performative, they want the normie follow the rules. They know they can't control people who are actually interested in freedom.
If they could, they would unleash full force of the state force but they can't... For now
