Pre-Spoiled Movies

[akiratubo]

It just occurred to me that I've never gotten around to seeing Sleepaway Camp, and yet I've known all about the ending for over 20 years. I think it's pretty much taken for granted among slasher fans that the ending is common knowledge.

I was fortunate enough to see that movie completely cold.  Talk about a shocker.

I was also lucky enough to see Sleepaway Camp before it was ruined. 

The one that someone ruined for me was The Sixth Sense.  It's pretty common knowledge now, though.

Come to think of it, I never got around to seeing The Crying Game, and I know the twist in that too. That one has gotten referenced in a few comedies over the last decade and a half.

Don't feel bad.  I also know the twist in "The Crying Game" and have never seen it.   




(I always think of the end of the first Ace Ventura movie whenever I think of The Crying Game...Tone Loc scratching his tongue!)

Suddenly Last Summer - The blurb on the back of the dvd case gives away the whole ending. Who needs suspense, right?

Around 6 or 7 years ago a coworker and I were discussing films, and I mentioned " yeah I cried in the theater as a kid when E.T. died,"  and he looked at me in shock.

"What E.T. dies?!? Thanks a lot man I haven't seen that yet and now you've ruined it for me." All mad like I had spoiled some ultra-top secret.

Okay this guy was in his late 30's when we had the conversation, so I assumed somewhere in the intervening 20 years he would have either seen the movie, or spoken to someone who had seen it.

As long as you didn't tell him ET comes back to life. That would really have spoiled the ending. So, after almost 30 years of not seeing it, he was suddenly going to rush right out and rent it?

Psycho was the big one that was spoiled...well the shower scene portion of it anyways. It still startled me with its twist ending and the falling backwards down the stairs scene.

Not sure how but I somehow managed to see Planet of the Apes without it being spoiled which completely blew me away with its ending. Soylent Green I managed to guess before the end.

Sixth Sense, Fight Club, and a few others are the big ones.

[Django]

Donnie Darko

I Have Been There Many Times And It Has Saved Me Countless Times From Wasting Time And Money On Some Really Awful(and not in a good way) Movies

I have a nasty habit of accidentally finding out movie endings before I want to.

I usually like to look up movies before watching and I will often read too much by accident and spoil the movie for myself.  The worst part is I know it's totally my fault.  I always feel stupidly/angrily ashamed with myself.

I know the feeling. Any time I'm really looking forward to a movie, especially one promising twists, I try to shun all reviews, discussions and anything else that might reveal too much or otherwise colour my moviegoing experience. Mind you, the effort has been wasted on a lot of the disappointing flicks to come out in recent years.

That's why I don't give away endings, or major plot developments, in reviews.  Duh.  Wish my fellow reviewers would consider that novel idea.

Heck, the people promoting the movies don't even worry about that. It's sad when you have to avoid the trailer in case there are spoilers.

I remember when we went to see THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RINGS in the theaters.  My college age nephew was with us, and as we were walking out, everybody still in fairly silent, sensory overload mode from the movie, one of the guys waiting in line asked "How was it?"

My nephew looked at him and said in a shocked voice: "Man, I can't believe Darth Vader is Luke's father!!!"

Everybody cracked up.
