a "spoiler" means you "feel bad" for knowing a detail about the movie's plot before watching it, which is cucked and pathetic. i get the same level of enjoyment watching a good movie with good characters, direction, soundtrack, cinematography etc whether or not i know some random detail about the plot or not. yes that includes the ending of the movie

That's not what a spoiler means at all. Just means a movie's secret got revealed to you before you saw it.
You projecting a lot of weird emotions on others says more about you than it does them.
Reality is you got spoiled, it ruined the movie you wanted to watch, and instead of accepting that, you developed this cope where you pretend it didn't bother you.
I'm sorry to hear that happened to you but dude it's just a fricking movie. Get over it and move on.
I genuinely can't think of a time when a 'spoiler' ruined the movie for me. I had Shutter Island and Fight Club spoiled for me and those made me actually want to watch the movie.
>but dude it's just a fricking movie. Get over it and move on
Exactly. Why are you so upset that someone told you a plot detail from the movie?

You came into this thread and started talking about how "other people" feel when they get a movie spoiled for them. The thing is, those were your feelings.

Like, clinically autistic.
People have emotions and feelings from a big reveal in a movie. People gasp. Some people even cry at the end

What a brainlet take. Sometimes a spoiler doesn't matter that's right but sometimes the element of surprise a 'twist' is part of the plot. Going in as blind as possible is the best way to watch a movie tbqh. If i gave you a book/movie a whodunit and i told you oh by the way this guy is the killer. There would be a lack of enjoyment. No point of trying to find it out yourself in your head and no element of surprise. You could say that a whodunit is pleb tier but that's a different discussion.

objectively wrong. The Usual Suspects end wouldn't have been as impactful if you knew the end before it happened.
Even the Sixth Sense. You watch it, learn the twist, then rewatch it to see if there were clues along the way. Then you say "woah the clues were there all along!" then you never watch it again because the mystery is gone.
Cape shit does not apply because those are so boringly predictable they should be spoiled every chance given.
Basically, only good movies can be spoiled, take away from Sixth Sense because that really wasn't that good of a movie.
It got a little difficult for you, didn't it? I know a lot of words all at once makes your little zoomy head hurt, but you don't have to start crying because you're just autistic and bad at watching movies

In 'The Assassin of Jesse James by Coward Robert Ford' you know from the very beginning what's going to happen near the end. But the movie still seems interesting the whole time. Why?
You can't spoil the emotions you will feel watching a movie. Even if someone told me -Ah its emotional,lovely,beautiful or whatever I'm not going to fully experience it without watching it by myself.

An autistic way of saying it but correct.
If a movie is only worth watching once because of the heckin' plot twisterino but after that it's unwatchable then it's not a good movie
Nah, that's not true. Usually, in order for a story to be good, it has to be good in one of three categories: plot, characterization, or prose (or in the case of film, cinematography). A story with a really good plot is going to be considered a good story the same way a story with beautiful prose/cinematography will be considered a good story. You might not appreciate plot but others do. In fact, I would say, in terms of accessibility, a story with a good plot is going to be vastly easier to appreciate than a story with good prose/cinematography, since truly appreciating prose/cinematography generally requires a deeper knowledge on the subject.
I appreciate plot greatly but I don't think that knowing it in advance ruins a film (not should it).
The point is more that if you know the spoilers of a good plot, it shouldn't matter and should still be worth watching.
Empire Strikes Back is the greatest example. Everyone knows Vader is Luke's dad. It's not a "watch once then throw away because I've seen the twist" as people can and do rewatch that movie incessantly.

Empire Strikes Back is a bad example because it's a film that's good not because of the plot but because of the characters. The plot to that film is actually incredibly weak, especially when one considers that it ends on a "to be continued."
Nah. A spoiler is just revealing something about a movie's plot, like a character dying or the ending.
How you feel about a spoiler is up to you, but it's still a spoiler even if it didn't upset you.
Not really. Knowing a spoiler can decrease the enjoyment out of the experience and you're ultimately investing your time into the movie hoping it will be worth it.
A non-spoiler review or score can give you an idea of whether a movie is worth it, without telling you what specific scene or moment you should or shouldn't be looking forward to.
>this level of autism
The surprise over a big spoiler in a movie adds much more to the experience. Take Darth Vader's "I am you Father" moment for example, people were never able to forget it.
So fricking based. It's like not being able to enjoy Shakespeare just because you know the plot beats. A good story will stand on its own without needing to rely on an epic twist. Granted, I would much rather go in without having known about that twist, but it's not gonna keep me up at night.
Yeah some people only like movies for the epic twist or whatever and not the other characteristics of the film. It's like eating a sundae but all they want is the cherry. Not that it's inherently bad, they're just sorta missing out.
Dumbledore kills Snape.
In Tenet Protagonist turns out to be the protagonist all along.
Bruce Willis has always been a ghost.
In The Village monsters are just people in hedgehog costumes.
Morbius doesn't actually say "it's Morbin time".
My wife insists I spoil every movie and every piece of media as it's happening if I've seen it. Asking me if so and so die or they end up together, like she cant wait 30 minutes to find out. I've never seen anything like it

Before I watched lone survivor with my family I said >Spoiler alert Mark Wahlberg is the Lone Survivor
right as the movie was starting. My Dad genuinely got mad and tried to insist it was a real spoiler.
Who was in the wrong here?
I knew that Joker shot Murray from posts on Cinemaphile but still enjoyed the movie. Only other thing spoiled that I can remember recently is capeshit but I don't care.
Spoilers never bothered me because people could be lying or getting things wrong and it still doesn't affect the emotions you feel when you actually see it for yourself.
>Spoilers never bothered me because people could be lying or getting things wrong
It can still prime your mind to expect something that you wouldn't normally. If I'm watching a whodunnit and somebody told me who the killer is I can convince myself I don't believe it, but my perception is still altered. If somebody tells you not to think about pink elephants you can decide to not acknowledge it, but you're still doing it. >it still doesn't affect the emotions you feel when you actually see it for yourself.
Surprise is an emotion. You can decide you don't care about it, but you are being deprived of it.
I guess more specifically, the details matter. If someone says "So-and-so is the killer" I'm more concerned with how that's possible than the end result, but if the spoiler is "So-and-so is the killer and here's how it happens" I'm going to be more unhappy with that. If a movie gets entirely spoiled for me it still doesn't bother me that much because it's just a dumb movie.
never bothered me because people could be lying or getting things wrong
This. I heard Han Solo died in Star Wars, but I figured it was lies just to upset people, but I knew it was coming because I figured Harrison Ford finally wanted to be done with Star Wars after decades of mouth breathers trying to talk about Star Wars when he was trying to promote any other movie he's ever been in.
Counter to this, spoilers on here from the euros who saw TLJ earlier than we did prepared my expectations to be very lowered, so going in, I was expecting something much worse than what I got. Which was still bad, but that night it was much better than I expected and made it more enjoyable than if I went in completely blind and was let down in the moment.
Someone told me Oberyn wins on Cinemaphile which was essentially a spoiler cause he does kind of win for a while. When his legs got swept out from under him I was in utter disbelief because I was not expecting it at all and knowing how GoT was I probably would have suspected him to die beforehand without the misleading spoiler.
I've got a similar spoiler story to you
I started reading ASOIAF around the time of the last season of Game of Thrones, having not seen a single bit of the show but knowing quite a few details about it simply because of cultural osmosis. So I knew there was something shocking called the Red Wedding, and I knew that Joffery gets poisoned and dies at his wedding. Knowing both of those facts, I just put two and two together so imagine my absolute surprise when I'm in the middle of the third book and it turns out that the Red Wedding is something completely different where Rob and everyone in his convoy are fricking murdered out of nowhere. If I didn't think I'd already been "spoiled" then I doubt that moment would've hit as hard as it did. Even if I'd gone in completely blind to the story I don't think it would've been like that
>watching Onions Green with my mom one day >dad comes home from work
"what are you watching?" >"Onions Green" >"did you find out what it's made of yet?"
thanks dad
> Spoil Se7en for everyone I chat to who hasn’t seen the film > Get a hard wiener when I see media related to it just knowing how I ruined it for cucks out there
I'm not usually an butthole that spoils things for other people but the Force Awakens awakened something in me. I felt it was my duty to spoil Han's death to as many people at my school that I possibly could. Never did that before or since.
I could have been in college but yeah you got me. I was in the 9th grade at the time. That was the first time I ever witnessed such widespread Star Wars hysteria in my life and I guess it just made me feel repulsed enough to do that.
>only
Mulholland Drive stands as its own without the plot. In fact, considering most people have their own theory about the plot, it doesnt rely on play at all.
That turd gets shilled a lot here. His gimmicks only work for short stories. Some of those he wrote are half way decent.
That book is pure distilled reddit basedface.
I read it because it was shilled here and went on to reading everything else wolfe wrote. Soldier of the Mist was also great but i love how almost every time he ends a book with you wanting more, or in The Land Across' ending with a little mystery that makes you want to reread it right away. >if you were paying attention i think you can guess where i buried the treasure
Wolfe was kino
Star Wars Episode V... by the fricking TV guide. They had an article showing a picture of Darth Vader and Luke with a quote beneath it. Never got into Star Wars as a result of it. Maybe it was for the best.
Everyone knows a Shakespeare drama ends with whoever the play is named after dying but people wanna be moved by the acting and the prose which is why we still hold stage productions of his works some 400 years after his death. Spoiler discourse is probably the greatest example of how stagnant art today is.
watched the new Top Gun 2 days ago with dad, finished movie and dad is surprised that nobody died .
He goes on, yeah in every movie they die , even James Bond died in the latest movie.
I'm like wtf dad, you know I still havent watched the latest one yet.
He just responds with >what do you want, the movie is already a year old
Chris Hardwick spoiled The Force Awakens for me. I don't care very much about spoilers, but this one pisses me off the most because I remember seeing and hearing him say "DONT SPOIL STAR WARS FOR ME! LALALALA!" on his tv show, and then one day he spoils it on his show and says "What? It came out like a month ago. It's your fault now."
Yeah. It's old news by that point. Not my fault you didn't go see it fricker. Not gonna stop me from talking about a movie, stay off the fricking internet if you don't want spoilers.
I remember like 3 scenes from that movie.
Woman getting plesiosaured
Woman running away from t-rex in heels
Raptor hunting on a quadbike
No idea who sam neil is
I love Jurassic Park but I couldn't give less of a shit about the Jurassic World movies, in fact I don't even care about the sequels to Jurassic Park either
yeah one of my friends saw The 6th Sense in theaters and asked me if I wanted to know the ending and I said yes because I didn't think I was ever going to bother watching it. Months later when it came out on video I was watching it with some friends at someones house and halfway through the movie I remembered what my friend had told me.
There are 8 Harry Potter films.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001)
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 (2010)
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 (2011)
Which ones do you have a problem with?? Which ones did you see??
I literally can't think of a single instance of having a movie ruined by being spoilered. Either a movie is good, in which case it's worth watching regardless of whether you know what happens, or it's not good, in which case being "surprised" by the outcome won't help it. The Sixth Sense is worth watching once even if you know that Bruce Willis is dead. If you haven't seen it yet, go watch it now and then tell me I'm wrong.
>read spoilers all the time from Cinemaphile >never remember them becuase my memory is shot to shit because of dozens of hours every day spent on instant gratification sites
Haha jokes on u op
The trick with spoilers is to stop caring. Seriously. When you get angry and annoyed you solidify the memory in your head, forever remembering the spoiler. If you don't care you'll forget about it the next day. The amount of threads I've read on Cinemaphile where the ending is spoiled but I end up watching the movie a week later without remembering is endless; just stop caring. You'll be happier and saner for it.
All of this assuming there is anything worth watching in the first place, which there isn't.
both are in the wrong
the cinema guy for doing a cheeky comment no one asked
you are paid to be a NPC,shut the frick up
this semen slurper is in the wrong from getting angry about being spoiled about the multiverse like wow im sure that ruined the film for you,you ameriFAT!
I usually spoil myself by reading recaps of movies or shows before watching them. It makes more excited knowing what's gonna happen (if it's good) and that way I also avoid wasting time on stuff I wouldn't like.
Knowing a spoiler has literally never changed my enjoyment of anything ever. It is only if you have moronic mindset that spoilers are even capable of ruining a movie for you that it'll have any impact.
I think they even did studies on this which showed that people that read spoilers enjoyed shit more.
You may not feel that it impacted your enjoyment but you really don't know that. You have no idea what your mindset would be had you gone in without the previous knowledge. I usually dont care about spoilers but im so glad i went into One Cut of the Dead blind, because knowing what was going on in the first 30 minutes wouldnt have had me almost turning it off because i was so confused. I would still like the movie if i knew the twist but its a more memorable experience finding it out as i watched the movie, and im sure theres some instances where its the same for you.
I watched that movie and the only spoiler I knew is that there was something big to be spoiled, so I figured out ahead of time where it would be going.
Movie was still amazing and really uplifting and just beautiful, had I not know that there was something to be spoiled about it, I probably would have shut it off 15 minutes in, but knowing there was something special to come is what made me sit through it.
Friends insisted that I had Cabin in the Woods ruined for me because I read on Cinemaphile (not even here, but at Cinemaphile) the plot twist that there was a government cospiracy and all of that. And then I watched the movie, and it literally starts by revealing that alleged plot twist. It is not a fricking plot twist if the movie literally starts with it.

I liked that movie, but not because of the twist. It's good was all I needed for recommendation.
I have a normie friend who doesn't liked that one, because he heard there is a twist. But for his taste the twist wasn't smart and special enough. Fricking moron.
I don't get this "it's 3 years old, so it's not a spoiler anymore" approach. I get that some movies are well known by almost everybody, so talking about Empire Strikes Back or Sixth Sense is not really a problem, but Dune Messiah isn't one of them and since there are now many people that were just introduced to the franchise and haven't read the books yet, why isn't it a spoiler?
The Dune franchise is well known enough that the major plot points are just part of sci-fi culture. If you were talking Book of the New Sun I'd agree with you, but not Dune
that's not even a spoiler it's literally in the plot description or whatever it's called. The trailer however spoils a shitton though. Overrated movie by the way. Very entertaining but storywise not that special 7,5/10 experience.

Only manchildren care about spoilers. Knowing how something ends or what happens doesn’t make it less enjoyable. Often the 2nd or 3rd time you watch something is the best.
I've managed to live my life without knowing the verdict in the O.J. Simpson case (not american zoomer here) and when I've watched that American Crime Story season about it, I remember I was really suprised by it, I really thought he is going to be sentenced guilty, so I really felt what the prosecutors and many people following the process felt.
I believe my enjoyment of the show would be lesser if I knew how it ends, despite it being a fricking real life incident.
So my thesis is that you can spoil even a well known historical events.
yeah it was force awakens for me too, but only it was on /b/. sure, I was bummed at the time, but the movie was nostalgia filled woke piece of shit anyway so meh. ford didn't want to star (heh) in it anyway
Never understood this fear of spoilers. It never bothered me to know how a movies ends before I've seen it but some people get so fricking pissed off over that shit.
It's essentially getting cucked in a cinematic sense.
If you know everything about a movie beforehand by reading it, is there really a point in seeing said movie? Why would I want to give Hollywood my money for something I already know by heart? Hell, even if you watch it for free, you've already "read" the book version.
I find it hard to believe he didn't see a single trailer for the movie unless he just never goes to the movies. They showed the trailer before tons of other shit. Did he cover his eyes or leave the theater every a time they showed a trailer for it?
Yeah. My friends and I bought tickets for day 2 of Matrix 3 and he called me up the night before to tell me Neo and Trinity died in the end. I was so mad I made it my mission to have sex with his sister that year. I did but this was also during my college days and we were fast growing apart anyways so I don't think it really made an impact.
Caleb, if you're reading this, your loose little sister had the tightest pussy I've fricked.
I wonder if people pretending spoilers dont exist keep repeatedly watching old sports games since know the end result doesn't impact their enjoyment of the material.
They're endlessly entertained.
there's no such thing as spoilers
But that's not true.

Empire Strikes Back is the greatest example. Everyone knows Vader is Luke's dad. It's not a "watch once then throw away because I've seen the twist" as people can and do rewatch that movie incessantly.
Empire Strikes Back is a bad example because it's a film that's good not because of the plot but because of the characters. The plot to that film is actually incredibly weak, especially when one considers that it ends on a "to be continued."
Nah. A spoiler is just revealing something about a movie's plot, like a character dying or the ending.
How you feel about a spoiler is up to you, but it's still a spoiler even if it didn't upset you.
Based.
Not really. Knowing a spoiler can decrease the enjoyment out of the experience and you're ultimately investing your time into the movie hoping it will be worth it.
A non-spoiler review or score can give you an idea of whether a movie is worth it, without telling you what specific scene or moment you should or shouldn't be looking forward to.
if a spoiler ruins the experience of watching then it wasn't worth it to begin with
you got the plotgays nice n toasty
>this level of autism
The surprise over a big spoiler in a movie adds much more to the experience. Take Darth Vader's "I am you Father" moment for example, people were never able to forget it.
bruce willis was a ghost the whole time
So fricking based. It's like not being able to enjoy Shakespeare just because you know the plot beats. A good story will stand on its own without needing to rely on an epic twist. Granted, I would much rather go in without having known about that twist, but it's not gonna keep me up at night.
Yeah some people only like movies for the epic twist or whatever and not the other characteristics of the film. It's like eating a sundae but all they want is the cherry. Not that it's inherently bad, they're just sorta missing out.
Dumbledore kills Snape.
In Tenet Protagonist turns out to be the protagonist all along.
Bruce Willis has always been a ghost.
In The Village monsters are just people in hedgehog costumes.
Morbius doesn't actually say "it's Morbin time".
There are spoilers but knowing them doesn’t ruin the movie
My wife insists I spoil every movie and every piece of media as it's happening if I've seen it. Asking me if so and so die or they end up together, like she cant wait 30 minutes to find out. I've never seen anything like it
My wife is a stupid c**t too, I wish I was dead
Before I watched lone survivor with my family I said
>Spoiler alert Mark Wahlberg is the Lone Survivor
right as the movie was starting. My Dad genuinely got mad and tried to insist it was a real spoiler.
Who was in the wrong here?
I knew that Joker shot Murray from posts on Cinemaphile but still enjoyed the movie. Only other thing spoiled that I can remember recently is capeshit but I don't care.
he's just trying to trick people into watching it before they figure out it sucks
What's big spoiler? Gnostic?
She has a dick
I have intuited from some post or other that the answer is multiverse.
Probably "multiple universe"
That she smoked some dank weed and pretends to put herself in the minds of multiple people's perspectives before talking
Where's the fricking video.
Spoilers never bothered me because people could be lying or getting things wrong and it still doesn't affect the emotions you feel when you actually see it for yourself.
>Spoilers never bothered me because people could be lying or getting things wrong
It can still prime your mind to expect something that you wouldn't normally. If I'm watching a whodunnit and somebody told me who the killer is I can convince myself I don't believe it, but my perception is still altered. If somebody tells you not to think about pink elephants you can decide to not acknowledge it, but you're still doing it.
>it still doesn't affect the emotions you feel when you actually see it for yourself.
Surprise is an emotion. You can decide you don't care about it, but you are being deprived of it.
This guy gets it. The other guys are brain dead npcs that just consume content.
I guess more specifically, the details matter. If someone says "So-and-so is the killer" I'm more concerned with how that's possible than the end result, but if the spoiler is "So-and-so is the killer and here's how it happens" I'm going to be more unhappy with that. If a movie gets entirely spoiled for me it still doesn't bother me that much because it's just a dumb movie.
never bothered me because people could be lying or getting things wrong
This. I heard Han Solo died in Star Wars, but I figured it was lies just to upset people, but I knew it was coming because I figured Harrison Ford finally wanted to be done with Star Wars after decades of mouth breathers trying to talk about Star Wars when he was trying to promote any other movie he's ever been in.
Counter to this, spoilers on here from the euros who saw TLJ earlier than we did prepared my expectations to be very lowered, so going in, I was expecting something much worse than what I got. Which was still bad, but that night it was much better than I expected and made it more enjoyable than if I went in completely blind and was let down in the moment.
Someone told me Oberyn wins on Cinemaphile which was essentially a spoiler cause he does kind of win for a while. When his legs got swept out from under him I was in utter disbelief because I was not expecting it at all and knowing how GoT was I probably would have suspected him to die beforehand without the misleading spoiler.
I've got a similar spoiler story to you
I started reading ASOIAF around the time of the last season of Game of Thrones, having not seen a single bit of the show but knowing quite a few details about it simply because of cultural osmosis. So I knew there was something shocking called the Red Wedding, and I knew that Joffery gets poisoned and dies at his wedding. Knowing both of those facts, I just put two and two together
so imagine my absolute surprise when I'm in the middle of the third book and it turns out that the Red Wedding is something completely different where Rob and everyone in his convoy are fricking murdered out of nowhere. If I didn't think I'd already been "spoiled" then I doubt that moment would've hit as hard as it did. Even if I'd gone in completely blind to the story I don't think it would've been like that
So according to this the multiverse concept is actually a major spoiler then. Great, I wasn't even planning on watching it anyway.
Oh right, I was curious how genre could possibly be a spoiler for something but yeah there have been a lot of such films lately
>watching Onions Green with my mom one day
>dad comes home from work
"what are you watching?"
>"Onions Green"
>"did you find out what it's made of yet?"
thanks dad
based dad
Is it onions?
yes, titanic
Bruce Willis is a ghost
That's why it's called Die Hard, thanks dude!
kek
It isn't even real, like none of it happened the old dude was just crazy and Johnny is grappling with addiction.
> Spoil Se7en for everyone I chat to who hasn’t seen the film
> Get a hard wiener when I see media related to it just knowing how I ruined it for cucks out there
it's a trash movie anyway
Anakin turns to the dark side
The porn gif that cut to a still of Han Solos death with the words HAN DIES KILLED BY HIS SON KYLO REN.
Saw it on the day I was going to see and laughed hard. Didn’t even care.
That gif entertained me much more than the sequels.
I'm not usually an butthole that spoils things for other people but the Force Awakens awakened something in me. I felt it was my duty to spoil Han's death to as many people at my school that I possibly could. Never did that before or since.
I did this to zoomers with Aunt May's death in No Way Home.
I didn't even watch the movie I just wanted to make some kids upset.
you just spoiled it for me lol I was never gonna watch that movie
>he was in school when force awakens came out
Fricking hell.
I could have been in college but yeah you got me. I was in the 9th grade at the time. That was the first time I ever witnessed such widespread Star Wars hysteria in my life and I guess it just made me feel repulsed enough to do that.
I think you were in my Spanish class kek
Oh maaan. Dude...
I got spoilt on Bruce fricking Barbra in the killing joke movie like 10 minutes before I went into the theatre
If a movie only has a secret plot twist going for it then it's not really a great movie.
Mulholland Drive btfo
>only
Mulholland Drive stands as its own without the plot. In fact, considering most people have their own theory about the plot, it doesnt rely on play at all.
All the greatest stories ever told are better on second or third viewing
That turd gets shilled a lot here. His gimmicks only work for short stories. Some of those he wrote are half way decent.
That book is pure distilled reddit basedface.
I read it because it was shilled here and went on to reading everything else wolfe wrote. Soldier of the Mist was also great but i love how almost every time he ends a book with you wanting more, or in The Land Across' ending with a little mystery that makes you want to reread it right away.
>if you were paying attention i think you can guess where i buried the treasure
Wolfe was kino
Star Wars Episode V... by the fricking TV guide. They had an article showing a picture of Darth Vader and Luke with a quote beneath it. Never got into Star Wars as a result of it. Maybe it was for the best.
Everyone knows a Shakespeare drama ends with whoever the play is named after dying but people wanna be moved by the acting and the prose which is why we still hold stage productions of his works some 400 years after his death. Spoiler discourse is probably the greatest example of how stagnant art today is.
>Spoiler discourse is probably the greatest example of how stagnant art today is.
kek
>Everyone knows a Shakespeare drama ends with whoever the play is named after dying
Henry V?
was playing mount and blade multiplayer and one player had his name "KYLO_REN_KILLS_HAN_SOLO"
Holy shit same thing happened to me. The night before I went to see the movie I was in a napoleonic warfare deathmwtch server
what is he doing watching movies? Doesn't he have a youtube channel to not update?
watched the new Top Gun 2 days ago with dad, finished movie and dad is surprised that nobody died .
He goes on, yeah in every movie they die , even James Bond died in the latest movie.
I'm like wtf dad, you know I still havent watched the latest one yet.
He just responds with
>what do you want, the movie is already a year old
thanks dad
never change
Based Dad.

My favourite past time was private messaging Game of Thrones fans on Reddit with spoilers.
Chris Hardwick spoiled The Force Awakens for me. I don't care very much about spoilers, but this one pisses me off the most because I remember seeing and hearing him say "DONT SPOIL STAR WARS FOR ME! LALALALA!" on his tv show, and then one day he spoils it on his show and says "What? It came out like a month ago. It's your fault now."
Yeah. It's old news by that point. Not my fault you didn't go see it fricker. Not gonna stop me from talking about a movie, stay off the fricking internet if you don't want spoilers.
You know this makes me want to spoil things for people like you, right? Sam Neil dies in Jurassic World.
I remember like 3 scenes from that movie.
Woman getting plesiosaured
Woman running away from t-rex in heels
Raptor hunting on a quadbike
No idea who sam neil is
he's Dr. Grant from the original Jurassic Park. He's in the new one coming out this week.
I love Jurassic Park but I couldn't give less of a shit about the Jurassic World movies, in fact I don't even care about the sequels to Jurassic Park either
reply to this or you will have an unpleasant day
what else is new?
Ok.
pls no
whatever
AHHHHH
ok
Black folk
Well damn I don't have an immunity animal for this
Shutter Island
I got spoiled it so I never watching since I knew the fricking twist
yeah one of my friends saw The 6th Sense in theaters and asked me if I wanted to know the ending and I said yes because I didn't think I was ever going to bother watching it. Months later when it came out on video I was watching it with some friends at someones house and halfway through the movie I remembered what my friend had told me.
Finding out the porn star you're about to fap to is death. Kind kills the scene for me.
gay.
I still fap to Debbie Leigh’s bukkake scene.
Cinemaphile spoiled The Northman for me because homosexuals can't use spoiler tags.
only gay movies like Harry Potter should be spoiled
What is a ׳׳gay׳׳ movie?
Harry Potter
There are 8 Harry Potter films.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001)
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 (2010)
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 (2011)
Which ones do you have a problem with?? Which ones did you see??
I don't know
Those are all gay movies
Any movie you like.
I literally can't think of a single instance of having a movie ruined by being spoilered. Either a movie is good, in which case it's worth watching regardless of whether you know what happens, or it's not good, in which case being "surprised" by the outcome won't help it. The Sixth Sense is worth watching once even if you know that Bruce Willis is dead. If you haven't seen it yet, go watch it now and then tell me I'm wrong.
based and correct take
>read spoilers all the time from Cinemaphile
>never remember them becuase my memory is shot to shit because of dozens of hours every day spent on instant gratification sites
Haha jokes on u op
The trick with spoilers is to stop caring. Seriously. When you get angry and annoyed you solidify the memory in your head, forever remembering the spoiler. If you don't care you'll forget about it the next day. The amount of threads I've read on Cinemaphile where the ending is spoiled but I end up watching the movie a week later without remembering is endless; just stop caring. You'll be happier and saner for it.
All of this assuming there is anything worth watching in the first place, which there isn't.
Is the movie any good or is it simply Parasite-tier that sois/normies/weebs and kweebs lost their shit over because it's Asian?
>he likes r*ddit the movie
I always knew his guy was a homosexual but thanks for the confirmation
Internet Historian is washed up.
sixth sense- still enjoyed it though.
both are in the wrong
the cinema guy for doing a cheeky comment no one asked
you are paid to be a NPC,shut the frick up
this semen slurper is in the wrong from getting angry about being spoiled about the multiverse like wow im sure that ruined the film for you,you ameriFAT!
>you ameriFAT!
Aussie
He's a kiwi.
I usually spoil myself by reading recaps of movies or shows before watching them. It makes more excited knowing what's gonna happen (if it's good) and that way I also avoid wasting time on stuff I wouldn't like.
Knowing a spoiler has literally never changed my enjoyment of anything ever. It is only if you have moronic mindset that spoilers are even capable of ruining a movie for you that it'll have any impact.
I think they even did studies on this which showed that people that read spoilers enjoyed shit more.
You may not feel that it impacted your enjoyment but you really don't know that. You have no idea what your mindset would be had you gone in without the previous knowledge. I usually dont care about spoilers but im so glad i went into One Cut of the Dead blind, because knowing what was going on in the first 30 minutes wouldnt have had me almost turning it off because i was so confused. I would still like the movie if i knew the twist but its a more memorable experience finding it out as i watched the movie, and im sure theres some instances where its the same for you.
I watched that movie and the only spoiler I knew is that there was something big to be spoiled, so I figured out ahead of time where it would be going.
Movie was still amazing and really uplifting and just beautiful, had I not know that there was something to be spoiled about it, I probably would have shut it off 15 minutes in, but knowing there was something special to come is what made me sit through it.
This. The fricking intro credits is the villains driving around on Segways in their lab.
>MUH SUBVERSION TWIST
Fricking lmao
Frick, meant for
I liked that movie, but not because of the twist. It's good was all I needed for recommendation.
I have a normie friend who doesn't liked that one, because he heard there is a twist. But for his taste the twist wasn't smart and special enough. Fricking moron.
This chad spoiled a Dune sequel during the Depp trial
based
What did he say? And whats to spoil, paul literally saw the future and told us in the first one
I dunno I don't watch movies with Black folk nor have I read the books, I only remember chat being mad at the Dune line.
Well yeah, how else could he spoil it.
>he thinks the average kinopleb reads
wow he spoiled a 50 year old book?
I don't get this "it's 3 years old, so it's not a spoiler anymore" approach. I get that some movies are well known by almost everybody, so talking about Empire Strikes Back or Sixth Sense is not really a problem, but Dune Messiah isn't one of them and since there are now many people that were just introduced to the franchise and haven't read the books yet, why isn't it a spoiler?
The Dune franchise is well known enough that the major plot points are just part of sci-fi culture. If you were talking Book of the New Sun I'd agree with you, but not Dune
lmao he still has his v card, what a loser
if something can be spoiled and decrease it's value by a noticeable amount it has poor writing
that's not even a spoiler it's literally in the plot description or whatever it's called. The trailer however spoils a shitton though. Overrated movie by the way. Very entertaining but storywise not that special 7,5/10 experience.
Friends insisted that I had Cabin in the Woods ruined for me because I read on Cinemaphile (not even here, but at Cinemaphile) the plot twist that there was a government cospiracy and all of that. And then I watched the movie, and it literally starts by revealing that alleged plot twist. It is not a fricking plot twist if the movie literally starts with it.
ah the fallout 4 conundrum.
I had the ending of The Passion of th Christ spoiled to me by sunday school
I often get spoiled but I really care so little these days that it doesn't bother me.
Imagine spoiling Breaking Bad to someone and telling them Walter defeats the Nazis with a robot.
someone spoiled force awakens for me back in the day but then the movie turned out to be shit anyway, so not much was lost
What wad there to spoil? Nothing happened. The twist was that Luke wasn't in it.
Han's death, which anyone with half a brain could've seen coming.
Some movies because of cultural osmosis, others because of Cinemaphile and one because of Scary Movie.
Only manchildren care about spoilers. Knowing how something ends or what happens doesn’t make it less enjoyable. Often the 2nd or 3rd time you watch something is the best.
I've managed to live my life without knowing the verdict in the O.J. Simpson case (not american zoomer here) and when I've watched that American Crime Story season about it, I remember I was really suprised by it, I really thought he is going to be sentenced guilty, so I really felt what the prosecutors and many people following the process felt.
I believe my enjoyment of the show would be lesser if I knew how it ends, despite it being a fricking real life incident.
So my thesis is that you can spoil even a well known historical events.
Ill spoil another one for you
Apparently 6 million by the end.
That's not true, it has open ending, it's just a fan theory.
>anon claims he doesn't care about spoilers
>keeps replying to a thread about spoilers over and over
yeah it was force awakens for me too, but only it was on /b/. sure, I was bummed at the time, but the movie was nostalgia filled woke piece of shit anyway so meh. ford didn't want to star (heh) in it anyway
I've had big movies spoiled from browsing twitter, forums and IRL but ironically never from Cinemaphile.
ah yes, a c**t thread, full of c**ts
watching webs on their iPhones
like c**ts
Never understood this fear of spoilers. It never bothered me to know how a movies ends before I've seen it but some people get so fricking pissed off over that shit.
It's essentially getting cucked in a cinematic sense.
If you know everything about a movie beforehand by reading it, is there really a point in seeing said movie? Why would I want to give Hollywood my money for something I already know by heart? Hell, even if you watch it for free, you've already "read" the book version.
If you don't understand why, you may infact be autistic.
not watching some chink movie
But it was obvious that it was a multiverse movie from the trailer
You don't read well, huh?
I find it hard to believe he didn't see a single trailer for the movie unless he just never goes to the movies. They showed the trailer before tons of other shit. Did he cover his eyes or leave the theater every a time they showed a trailer for it?
Yeah. My friends and I bought tickets for day 2 of Matrix 3 and he called me up the night before to tell me Neo and Trinity died in the end. I was so mad I made it my mission to have sex with his sister that year. I did but this was also during my college days and we were fast growing apart anyways so I don't think it really made an impact.
Caleb, if you're reading this, your loose little sister had the tightest pussy I've fricked.
I wonder if people pretending spoilers dont exist keep repeatedly watching old sports games since know the end result doesn't impact their enjoyment of the material.
They're endlessly entertained.
There are plenty of people on the spectrum that watch the same movies over and over again. They just don't consider it weird.
I do that but its because I simply dont retain information the same way and lots of detail is never recorded into my long term memory.
Yeah because they like that particular movie. If you told them how a sport event was going to pan before watching they'd be annoyed.
this is Cinemaphile, not Cinemaphile anon. Stay on topic.
The topic is spoilers. This is Cinemaphile not reddit please learn basic reading skills.
yep! by a israeli midget!
Spoilers saved me from watching The Last Jedi.
All the time on Cinemaphile
Had a lot of the Sopranos spoiled from lurking threads here.
ALSO YOU SPASTICS SPOILED HAMLEN DYING IN BETTER CALL SAUL WHEN I'M ONLY ON SEASON 4.
>that movie
>enjoyable
how
i lost interest after the jackie chan bullshit 25 min in.
A movie that loses value from you knowing plot points beforehand was worthless in the first place.
