Disney Asks Critics Not To Reveal 'Pirates' Plot

Critics attending press screenings of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End were not permitted to bring cell phones -- if they included cameras -- into the theater with them. (Phil Villarreal of the Arizona Daily Star wrote that he was even ordered to return his Nintendo DS gaming device to his car.) Critics were also handed a notice from Disney asking them to observe the usual guidelines of film criticism: "Please do not reveal the many plot resolutions that occur throughout the film ... in your articles, on your program, online, on your blogs or in any other format. We hope you appreciate there are many Pirates fans who will enjoy their moviegoing experience so much more not knowing in advance the outcome of the many plot twists."
