Not rich brat spoiled, I mean when it comes to movies spoiled.

I rarely care. I never go to the movie just to see how it ends or what happens to whom. I look at a movie and am interested in how it is made, more than what is being made. I like seeing the actors, director, cinematography, score, and writing come together to make a good movie. I do not go for "I know X, and I know Y, but will that lead to Z?"

I spoiled the hell out of myself when LOTR came out. I wanted to hear every little plot change they were making. I didn't want to be surprised at all. Pretty much whenever any movie is coming out that I'm into I find out everything I can about it. This is not only because I'm impatient, but usually because it has to do with some original source material that they might be butchering wildly.

Spoilers are the root of all evil.

I know! For instance, I know pretty much every major plot point of Batman Begins and Sin City. Just ask me, and I'll tell.

Fantastic Four and War of the Worlds?.... Eh. Not so much.

EDIT: I thought that one guy online proved girls are the root of all evil?

Jeez.... if you can't believe anything you randomly read off the internet... what can you trust?

Speaking of spoilers, who here wants to see a new pic from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire?

Depends on the movie. Anything I've already read is fair game - Harry Potter, H2G2, and the like. Most movies I don't really care about, BUT... I know nothing about Episode 3 save the title and the main stars. And that Natalie Portman finally dies (I hope).

And I want to know NOTHING else until 19 May.

I don't care about having movies spoiled, because I really don't get emotionally attached to movies.

I don't like my books spoiled, though. [Mad] [Mad] [Mad]

Thanks [Smile]

See, I knew everything about Episode 2 before it hit - heck, I'd already seen it. And I didn't like it. I didn't know much about Episode 1 before it hit and I thought it was fun.

I'm really hoping knowing absolutely nothing will make this one decent for me.

That's not the reason you didn't like Ep. II.

*whispers* I liked Ep. II. Except the name. And I thought Ep. I was tolerable, for what it was, though I'm not as into it as Ketchup Prince Consort. *glances around furtively*

Well, that's one way to keep from spoiling.

I hate being spoiled. There is nothing cooler than being completely surprised by something. I knew nothing about either The Matrix or Fight Club coming in. And granted, I would've loved both of them anyway, but it just made it all the better not to know.

Leonide is a loser and loves spoilers. Even though she pretends not to. She does. Like next weeks Lost. That <insert derogatory name for female here>.
