Movies

Knowing beforehand what happens in a movie, especially key plot points, climaxes, or twists, betrays the journey, doesn't it?

You're robbed of allowing the movie to simply "unfold" if you already know the twist or the ending, IMO. Anyways, posting spoilers is fine, and you'reĀ  right, if you don't want to know, don't read it. However, putting the spoiler in the same subject line/quick reply as the word "spoiler" defeats the purpose since the eye naturally wants to read the full line. That's why netiquette says you say spoiler in the subject, and then write the actual spoiler in the inner message, as edzep points out below.

Hey, Facto, here is what the scene was after all the credits finished rolling. SPOILER for those that want to catch it in the theater. =) Catzan May 05, 00:44

Thanks! We were cheated of that scene... {nm} Facto May 05, 01:15

never saw that in my screening!!!! {nm} osmosis2003 May 05, 02:27

what about the scene after the credits .. thanos... {nm} TheFran42 May 05, 03:48

Please scrub the above post: Spoilers, anyone? I hadn't seen the movie yet - thanks :P {nm} BSmurf May 05, 05:47

Um, if you don't want to see spoilers, don't read a post that says SPOILERS on it. elchan May 05, 08:07

Only for some movies, like mysteries, and other ones that depend on the plot twists, usually not action movies. elchan May 05, 09:50

You don't post spoilers in the subject header like TheFran42 did, you put them in the internal message with SPOILER in the subject header Roger More May 05, 09:09

Scenes are on UTube for those who missed it.(links) elchan May 05, 06:11

how do i delete it? The heading of this chat does say big and in caps "SPOILER". So i thought it would be ok... {nm} TheFran42 May 05, 07:24

Spoilers... edzep - Port Monkey! May 05, 07:30

are we saying there should be a spoiler alert for whether or not there's a credits scene?... tealfan May 05, 09:19

That would be silly, as it would help people to know that they should have stayed for the credits. I always do. {nm} elchan May 05, 09:51
