**Flander** , the movie’s almost a decade old and you know the whole time what’s going to happen to Leo’s character. Does that really require a spoiler? 😛

Hey, I’m just playing it safe. All I need the single doper who hasn’t seen it (and wants to) pitting me, saying something along the lines of, “I was going to rent this movie and HOPE to see DiCaprio die in it. Now the whole day is a waste because that dickweed **Flander** just spoiled the m\*\*_ **f** _ing ending!! How am I supposed to get emotionally involved in this film if I KNOW Leo’s going down at the end?”

My reply to such a pit thread would be me, laughing at the tragedy of a spoiled movie. 🆒
