> [@Reeses\_Monkey](#): > > My husband and I are seeing it next Saturday (January 2) with friends. It’s our annual get-together for exchanging Christmas gifts and catching up with each other. So far, I’ve managed to stay unspoilered. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I can make it another week without hearing any major plot points. I gotta say, even having it “spoiled” (on opening night…still shaking my head over that…I mean, who knew Jar-Jar even had a son? _oops_), it really didn’t matter. It was still a bantha-full-o’-fun! Honestly, this isn’t _The Sixth Sense_ or _Fight Club_ (psst, it’s not really about fighting). You could get thoroughly spoiled and still love it. ---

I had it in mind, because I heard there was a scene where Jar-Jar Binks’ bones are seen moldering in the desert while passing camels pee upon it. Now, that’s spoiled, I hear it isn’t true. So, fuck _that_ shit! ---

Shit, never mind that, now I’ve got the image of Jar-Jar Binks _fucking_! Tequila and bongwater, make it a double, and hurry! ---

My BIL and his brood had seen it, but they had the decency to keep their pieholes shut about it. OK, so it’s got spaceships and fighting and creatures… 😃 I know he was dying to spill because that’s just the way he is, but he kept quiet. I generally hate going to movies, but I’ve decided to make an exception for this one. They have a 10AM showing and I don’t have to work on New Year’s Eve, so I’m thinking we’ll go then. After the fiasco of Ep 1, I didn’t bother watching Eps 2 or 3, but I’m looking forward to this one. So just a few more days… ---

Some people just can’t keep their mouths shut. When we went to see MockingJay 2 there were three teenage girls sitting behind me and to my left. One must have seen it before or read the books as she was filling in the others on plot details. I had read the books beforehand so nothing was spoiled for me however during the end of the movie when Katniss is: about to execute Snow, the girl couldn’t help herself and had to whisper to her friends “She’s going to kill Coin!” I turned to them and said “What the fuck loudmouth.” I think they were pretty embarassed and didn’t make a peep for the rest of the movie. ---

Last three times I’ve gotten together with friends, there’s been _one guy_ who hasn’t seen the movie yet, so no one else can talk about it. Goddammit, Roy, just see the fucking movie already! ---

> [@VinylTurnip](#): > > This is unverified, but I’m confident that with a few keystrokes you could get an image that’s more than mental. ‘Jar-jar Binks fucking’ didn’t work, but if you substitute ‘porn’ for ‘fucking’, it does. 😉 ---

There isn’t really much to “spoiler” in this movie anyway. What, Han Solo dies? You see that coming 14 parsecs away regardless. Has no impact on the enjoyability of watching it. ---

Well, at least we will get to see if being the biggest jerk evar can actually result in an instaban. I’ll vote for yes assuming the spoiler actually IS a spoiler. ---

And if it is just a suspension it better not be one of those pussified one month jobbers either. More like 6 months to a year.
