Uh, I hate to _spoil_ the party (heh heh), but what’s the point of posting a thread of spoilers if you already know what happens in the movie? It’s temptation, and you are all very very cruel people. ☹ ---

> [@Ichini Sanshigo](#): > > Uh, I hate to _spoil_ the party (heh heh), but what’s the point of posting a thread of spoilers if you already know what happens in the movie? It’s temptation, and you are all very very cruel people. ☹ This is somewhat the point of my experiment: Can people resist temptation? I know I can’t. When I see a thread with spoilers in it, I feel you guys are discussing things in secret. Say you’re having a conversation with some friends, one leans to the other and whispers something, without you hearing it. You’d want to know what was said, right? Even if they told you “Hey, you dont want to know” I know that would only make me more determined to find out. So if I see a post along the lines of Wow! Did you see Revenge of the Sith?? Remember when Yoda got his ass kicked by Palpatine :eek: :eek: :eek: Wasnt that amazing?? I’ve got to open that, even if it means spoiling my enjoment of the film. Just wondering who is in my camp. ---

In The Bible, Jesus comes back after the battle of Armageddon and puts down the last rebellion, throwing Satan and his false prophet (and ‘death’ in general) into the burning lake of fire. Christians live with him in a paradise with the tree from Eden. In The Koran, Haven’t read it yet. At the end of Texas Chainsaw Massacre (remake), You smack yourself for wasting two hours.
