Do you spoil things?

Post Reply New Topic

I told my family that The Hurt Locker won Best Picture and they said thanks for spoiling it! I said well you should of stayed up till midnight like i did. Then they yelled at me and stuff and were mad at me. I tend to spoil stuff for others or even myself I knew the deaths of the Potter books before they came out and spoil game endings. For me it makes reading/play experience that much more engrossing it's the journey not the end that interest me what lead up to the ending is what amazes me.

It is better to be a spoiler then a looser

How was that spoiling it? You didn't tell them the end of the film or anything, did you?

I told them who won and they didn't want to know. IMO it doesn't matter. Besides they only DVRed 3hrs. and it went over that (30min over) so they missed the good awards anyway. Plus like I said I enjoy the journey and don't mind spoiling endings.

I must admit I have a very strong aversion to people spoiling what happens in books, movies, TV series etc. I really hate it. I want to find out the good stuff myself and not have it told to me by someone else.

i appreciate it when people tell me the plots of movies ahead of time- thataway i don't have to waste the money to go see 'em.

I am the Destroyer of Romantic Moments. I also enjoy the journey, not necessarily the ending. I like to flip to the end of the book...and then try to figure out how they get their whilst reading! I did that with the Cruel Intentions movie. (Seriously messed up, btw) It's fun! I had the tendency to ruin things for other people, but that died when I hung out with my boyfriend more. He likes surprises and romance and all that. Opposites attract, I guess.

Sometimes. I spoil things for myself sometimes as well, like before the first time I watched Notting Hill, I looked it up on Wikipedia, and I accidentally read the entire plot summary (as in, I started reading it and had read the entire thing before I thought, "Damn, I think I just spoiled the movie by reading everything that happens"). LOL. I don't really mind as much as other people seem to, though, so it's not really "spoiled", just "not as surprising as it would otherwise have been".

I don't get why awards ceremonies can be "spoiled", though, it's just information . With things like that, I really couldn't care less if I see it or not as long as I actually know what happens (if I actually care what happens, which I often don't).

I dint see the point of being mad at you for telling who won the Oscars. Hell it is front page news the next day or even a few minutes after anyway. I could give a crap.

I don't think I want movies or book endings spoiled, but I don't react so badly to it. I am most bothered if someone talks and tried to guess the ending out loud during the movie. Sometimes I want to know ahead of time because I don't like sad movies that are not hyped as being tragic. "Pay it Forward" messed me up big time. I like to stick to horror and suspense movies for that reason.

I try not to spoil anything for anyone unless they ask.

I don't mind having the endings of books and movies spoiled to me at all, in fact I remember only two cases when I was angry at someone's spoiling them to me. Personally I don't spoil though because I know people don't like it but when a novel or movie out of a series I was obsessed with was released, I searched for spoilers on the net to know what happens in this book/movie. For example it was so with the Harry Potter and the Dark Tower series novels or with Terminator: Salvation. When they were coming out, the very first thing I was doing on that day was sitting in front of the computer, combing the boards in search of the pieces of information on it.
