OK, fair enough, you’ve seen a film or TV series that is yet to receive general worldwide release…or people may have videoed it and still be waiting to watch it… But a five-year-old film? Or a musical from god-knows-when ([http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=232967](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=232967))? What next? _Macbeth (spoliers)_…The Resurrection _spoilers_…grrrrrrrrrrrrrr ---

It’s not like spoiler boxes cost anything. There are some people who are behind on the movie watching. A little common courtesy goes a long way. P.S. It’s a cookbook. ---

The butler is Luke’s father. They blew it up. She’s a guy. On the third day, He rose again. ---

This is incredibly stupid. There’s a first time for _every_ movie you see. Believe it or not, there are people who haven’t seen every single film ever made. I, for example, haven’t seen _Treasure of the Sierra Madre_, even though I’m a huge film nut and I consider a good weekend to be one during which I watch at least four movies. Does the fact that a film is old somehow lessen the impact of a surprise ending? Or is it that you figure everyone’s been exposed to spoilers elsewhere so there’s no point in warning people here? This line of reasoning seems akin to “Everyone’s going to die sooner or later, so murder is not wrong.” (Though on an admittedly smaller scale.) Sheesh. And P.S.: I haven’t seen _South Pacific_ either; think we could have had a spoiler warning on that link? ---

Gollum bites the ring off his finger. Rosebud is a sled. They score the tying TD but miss the extra point. Eventually Rhet gets sick of her crap and leaves her. The crazy groundskeeper blows up the golf course, but the good guys win the tournament. He gets killed but comes back to life and flies off into the heavens. The butler did it. ---

Bruce Willis is a ghost. She has a dick. She thinks he’s really dead and he kills himself then he wakes up and sees her and he kills himself for real. The killer is the little girl and the ring is the top of the well. She dies at the end. ---

Well, my little sister still hasn’t seen ET, and I hadn’t seen “It’s a Wonderful Life” until just a few years ago (I’m 44). [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-pit-spoiler-warnings/222564.md?page=2)
