That you told everyone that the person whose name is being used to basically sell
the movie, will die a horrible death in the film. I was pissed when I saw it. I
was expecting Jules!!! And if I had read your spoiler, I would have been just as
pissed as they were.

Well, as good as a film may be, spoiling something like that will do nothing
but take away from the film. I know I won't be able to see it without

either. I made my comment, (halfway jokingly as i don't care too much about

i do have a pet peeve about that kind of thing, though. So, any time someone
even breaths something spoilerish, i get irate. I emailed a nasty complaint
to a reporter who spoiled a big joke in Austin Powers 2 a few months ago,
and it wasn't even a huge deal. it stems back from sitting at a table a few
years ago in a dorm cafeteria when these nearby girls ask each other "Did
you see No Way Out?" "Oh, is that one where Kevin Costner is a _________?"

since then, I have little patience for that.
I'm just thankful I managed to get through 21 years of life before watching
Citizen Kane and not having Rosebud spoiled for me. yes, I was a junior
before I ever watched that movie.
So, as far as i'm concerned, a spoiler like that is uncool, but after a

I know that this started as an issue on spoilers, but I think Wade's post
also brings up another issue ... general information about movies.
A prime example would be the recent movie - THE SIXTH SENSE. I have seen
it, and I liked it. I thought the performances were solid, especially
Haley Joel Osmet who gave a brilliant performance, regardless of age.
My main problem is the ad campaign ... and here come the spoilers. They
are minor, but as Ward pointed out ... what I some may think is common
knowledge may be nuggets of treasure to others. So, with that in mind .....
S
P
O
I
for EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
L
and GONE WITH THE WIND
E
and THE SIXTH SENSE
R
S
The movie was set up to begin with the uncertainty of young Cole's
visions/actions. To know, definitely, from the previews and press that he
truly CAN see spirits .... it weakens the tension. It doesn't destroy it
completely, but it definitely lessens it in a way. And, made the final
moment of Dr. Crowe's realization something I saw coming FAR FAR in
advance.
I know now that Darth Vader is Luke's father ... but god help anyone if
they had told me before the first time I saw EMPIRE.
I know now that poor Bonnie Blue Butler dies, but I still want to kill the
person that ruined that for me.
I imagine what the first viewing of BLAIR WITCH must have been like without
anyone knowing anything about it ... the mystery of "is it real, is it
staged" floating through their minds. I envy them ... and pity them at the
same time.
I personally enjoy getting as much advance info as I can, but I seek it
out. And I dislike people that spring it on me without my permission, even
if they are giving me information that I would have been searching for
myself. (I don't say that in reference to the, in my opinion, simple
"OOPS" around DEEP BLUE SEA that started all of this, by the way.)
Sometime movies are just movies, and sometimes they are mysterious things
to be discovered as you go along.
I like them both ways, but I don't like it when people make the choice for
me. That is all.
Thank you all for your time and patience.

Subject: [MV] Re: Spoilers
I just saw THE SIXTH SENSE, and while I knew what it was about in a
general sense, I did not know the "surprise" ending in advance. I
figured out what was going on about a half-hour into the movie, but this
did not spoil it for me, because the movie is about a process, a
relationship, and not just a buildup to a punchline. Would I have
enjoyed the movie less if someone had told me what is revealed at the
end? Yes, because part of the fun is trying to figure out where things
are going.
Obviously, one person's spoiler is another's "so what?" I think we all
knew, going into TITANIC, that the ship sinks. And because we see Rose as
a hundred-year-old woman, there's no suspense over whether she'll
survive. As for Jack ... well, I don't want to give anything away. <g>
Likewise, I doubt that very many people really thought that humanity was
going to be wiped out in either ARMAGEDDON or DEEP IMPACT, so revealing
"the ending" doesn't spoil either movie. (Not that either is very good to
begin with!)
Revealing who gets eaten in a shark movie is a bit dicier. It takes the
edge off, but it doesn't invalidate the whole movie experience, at least
in my opinion. I mean, hey, it's a "sharks on the rampage" movie. You
know _someone's_ gonna get chewed up!
Other movies like VERTIGO, or THE USUAL SUSPECTS, really lose a lot if
you know the ending going in, and anyone who gives it away on purpose is
a jerk.
So, in my opinion, the best practice is not to reveal anything that isn't
common knowledge (the Titanic sank; the Hindenburg blew up; the South
lost the Civil War). Talk about the acting, the directing, the
production, the dialog, etc. but don't discuss storyline details.
That's not too tough, is it?

Good points Josh - and I whole heartily agree. Imagine knowing things about
Usual Suspects or Resevoir Dogs or The Spanish Prisoner or The Game or
Presumed Innocent etc... I enjoy when I get to see the movie unfold as the
director intended it to - not by getting pieces of information about the
movie before it even opens.
As far as the Deep Blue Sea goes - a great action flick - I saw it opening
night (as I often do to avoid spoilers) and when the aforementioned scene
occured the audience was floored!! It was a great time! If I had known
that earlier I would have just said - Oh yeah - this scene.
Well that's my two cents - or more like eight cents really.
let's keep spoilers out and good times in...!

I know that this started as an issue on spoilers, but I think Wade's post
also brings up another issue ... general information about movies.
A prime example would be the recent movie - THE SIXTH SENSE. I have seen
it, and I liked it. I thought the performances were solid, especially
Haley Joel Osmet who gave a brilliant performance, regardless of age.
My main problem is the ad campaign ... and here come the spoilers. They
are minor, but as Ward pointed out ... what I some may think is common
knowledge may be nuggets of treasure to others. So, with that in mind .....
S
P
O
I
for EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
L
and GONE WITH THE WIND
E
and THE SIXTH SENSE
R
S
The movie was set up to begin with the uncertainty of young Cole's
visions/actions. To know, definitely, from the previews and press that he
truly CAN see spirits .... it weakens the tension. It doesn't destroy it
completely, but it definitely lessens it in a way. And, made the final
moment of Dr. Crowe's realization something I saw coming FAR FAR in
advance.
I know now that Darth Vader is Luke's father ... but god help anyone if
they had told me before the first time I saw EMPIRE.
I know now that poor Bonnie Blue Butler dies, but I still want to kill the
person that ruined that for me.
I imagine what the first viewing of BLAIR WITCH must have been like without
anyone knowing anything about it ... the mystery of "is it real, is it
staged" floating through their minds. I envy them ... and pity them at the
same time.
I personally enjoy getting as much advance info as I can, but I seek it
out. And I dislike people that spring it on me without my permission, even
if they are giving me information that I would have been searching for
myself. (I don't say that in reference to the, in my opinion, simple
"OOPS" around DEEP BLUE SEA that started all of this, by the way.)
Sometime movies are just movies, and sometimes they are mysterious things
to be discovered as you go along.
I like them both ways, but I don't like it when people make the choice for
me. That is all.
Thank you all for your time and patience.

If it helps at all for those who saw that
SPOILER!....
Jackson dies... the way it happened was totally cheesy and you really knew
it was coming anyway. I still don't understand how people liked this movie.
I think it goes up on the list to "make fun of" than to sit around and
actually enjoy the flick for what it is. But that's just my opinion, and it
looks as if I'm the only one!

Oh, man I think the phrase "justifible homocide" best describes the situation.
And I thought these things only happened to me. For those that don't know,
I own a video shop. One day, I had two customers discussing if they had
seen this movie, Before and After. The wife says to the husband, "Of
course, that's where they find (SPOILER deleted) at the end".
Now, I had no desire to see this movie before that, and now it is not
necessary to watch it. Still, whenever anyone asks my opinion on that
movie, I tell them about how some idiot ruined the movie for me, and that I
cannot tell them, as there is absolutely NO REASON for me to watch this
movie. And we only hope thru this action to remind people to watch what
they say, and where they say it.
