The hell? That did not look like that when I posted it.  
At any rate, I decided to add Aliens. Maybe a mod could get rid of the static? go from  
the word “decided” at the beginning, to the one at the end-- getting rid of one of the “decideds,” of course.

_Spider-Man Homecoming_ is, I believe, the last time I’ve heard a theater-wide gasp at a ‘spoiler’ twist.

Well, against that, it’s hard to stuff and mount an amorphous jelly-liker creature

(Although there do exist fossilized jellyfish)

Ender’s Game

I never saw the movie, but I assume that it had the same plot twist that the book had.

There was also some cheesy horror movie from the early 70’s that featured a boy who was revealed to be a girl at the end. During the movie, he made love to a blow up doll. Siskel or Ebert mentioned it as one of their guilty pleasures. I can’t remember the title.

Ender’s Game is actually a fairly solid and accurate adaptation of the book and it does keep the twist and even the epilogue section accurately. I thought they might trip out the epilogue. No, the kept it.

The Conversation

When this movie came out in 1974, in the review in _The Chicago Tribune_, Michael Wilmington gave away the ending **in the first sentence**. At that time nobody used the phrase “spoiler alert”… or even “spoiler.” I have never read anything by him again.

**Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny**

A surprising one, but there is a pretty major spoilerific twist in it.
