The subject lines reasonable subjects, clearly intended to entice us to
open the message. Are the spam bots somehow just copying previous
subject to achieve this?

Well, it's not just the previous subject in the case of "Lock stage size to
movie's stage". I posted that on the 9th (no responses, sadly), but the
spam using that subject line appeared on the 22nd. (Odd that it only used
half of my subject line, so it's not a direct copy.) Of course, I'm viewing
it here in the NNTP version of the forum, so I see nothing but a bunch of
messed up HTML tags and dirty words, rather than any actual spam. (Not that
I'd be dumb enough to click on the link if there was one...) Fortunately,
for now, it seems to be an isolated event - I didn't see any other
duplicated or (partially-duplicated) subject lines when I sorted by subject.
