"What was the worst SPOILER anyone ever ruined on you?" Topic

Seriously.
Come on. Be honest. When was a movie or TV show ruined by some ignorant oaf?

SPOILER ALERT
Everything discussed here will be a "spoiler".
Proceed at your own risk

Someone once told me that "The Sixth Sense" was a really good movie, and that Bruce Willis was dead all along!
Oh, sure. "Anyone" should have been able to figure it out within 10 minutes, but I would not have. Quite literally, Bob ruined it for me. I spent half the movie waiting for the revelation, and the denouement SHOULD have shocked me, in an enjoyable way.

Not exactly a spoiler, but I was really psyched for Phantom Menace and saw it the first day it opened. But a friend was at the screening before mine, and when he passed me as he was leaving and I was waiting to get in, he just frowned and shook his head. Talk about talking the wind out of my sails. And, sadly, he was right.

Second six sense, never liked the guy who spoiled it eiher, total

A friend told me about the climax to The Crying Game. I still havenīt seen it, but whatīs the point?
My wife, on the other hand, hates surprises, and if I have seen a film before I have to tell her how it ends. That even included The Others.

I see dead people…..yeah that spoiled it.

This happened back in 1980, on the opening day of Empire Strikes Back.

I was in high school and my best friend and I had planned that right after our last class, we would meet at his car in the parking lot and run down for the first showing. I'm walking out to the parking lot, I pass two guys talking, and I catch just part of their conversation. What do I hear, but "I read the Empire Strikes Back novel (it released before the movie came out that year) and I don't believe that Darth Vader is Luke's father".

ON THE WAY TO THE CAR TO SEE THE MOVIE, I OVERHEAR THE BIG REVEAL. Just my luck.

Santa is not real
Easter bunny not real

Serious stuff to a 7 year old. But then my folks could not keep up the routine on a army sgt pay in 1972.

Actually, the reveal that that blonde would be king gets killed this season on GOT. I have not read the books and we do a marathon watch at the end. Oh well.

I don't do spoilers…

But several times in a movie – I guess the ending..

My dad … still guesses the endings of movies – sometimes very general ones without really big reveals … and then says … yes its like such and such film from the thirties, but without any decent actors!

As I get older I am more inclined to agree!

Oh yes – I guessed sixth Sense… and thought why would anyone think anything different?

I had Empire strikes back spoiled by a neighbour, and ROTJ was spoiled by a friend … but I watched both and enjoyed them. ( I did take my revenge by spoiling a film some years later)

I don't really mind spoilers – providing they are properly warned.. so I can avoid them.

The murdurous fiend of Altair IV was really Dr. Morbius' Id creation.

I remember getting a punch in the shoulder from my friend when we went to The English Patient ("You'll love it! It's about WWII!" ) when I said, quite loudly, that I bet the woman in the jeep was going to hit a mine.

Cue explosion, followed by punch.

A friend told me Sharpe shot the Prince of Orange in Sharpe's Waterloo before I read the book. Still read it but the funniest part of the book was not much of a surprise.

Psycho…stupid Potsie!!

It wasn't a movie. Urban Meyer becoming the next coach of OSU football. Well before it was announced. At least I could have been left with the illusion that it might have been someone I liked for a little longer.

I think The Sixth Sense spoiled itself in the previews by showing the scene where the boys says, "I see dead people"… because up to that point in the movie you wouldn't really know what's up with him. But seeing Bruce Willis shot at the beginning… and knowing, from the preview, that the kid sees dead people… well… it was pretty damn obvious right from the start.

Charles Schultz. In a Peanuts comic he revealed that "Rosebud" was the sled!

I can't even remember the name of the film now, but the flatmate loudly saying "She dies in the end, you know – he doesn't make it in time" about 5 minutes before the climax of the movie has gone done in history with me and my friends.

"She dies in the end, you know – he doesn't make it in time" is now a chant uttered when folk are being too spoilery.

Many years ago, standing in line to see "One flew over the Cukoos Nest". Some drunken frat rats drove by the theatre and shouted out the big reveal.

For myself I really don't mind if someone told me a spoiler about a movie of something on tv and that has happened several times over the years.

For example I've been watching Game of Thrones and sometimes I talk to a few of my friends who read the books and sometimes I ask them things that haven't happened yet and they tell me and I don't mind one bit.

That's how I see it.

The end of 7en.

There are three…
+ The Buffalo PBS station helpfully ran a documentary about the real Harry Selfridge after the premiere of the British series on the channel (first one set in 1910 I think). It pointed out that a major character dies in 1918.

+ Literally the day after the GoT season three major murder (YKW) on an unrelated political web site I read dicks who were openly saying what happened so that it even screwed up people who'd recorded it to watch later that week or on the Monday night rather than "live" on Sunday let alone people like me who have to wait for the commercial DVDs.

+ In Breaking Bad one of AMC's own "happening next episode" previews clearly showed a huge, major character being shot!!! Luckily the writing was so great and the shooting happened in the last five minutes of the episode that the episode wasn't completely ruined but I'll never know how great it would have been to have had the shooting sprung on me unexpectedly the way it should have been.

And some idiot at TMP ruined vintage New Yorker cartoons about tramp steamers for me! For good!

8 years old and in the queue at Tenby cinema, circa 1979 or thereabouts, when someone said 'Han Solo shoots Darth Vader off Luke's tail, but Darth Vader doesn't die'.

Thanks a ing bunch, .

However, what was even worse was a couple of years earlier, when I'd ACTUALLY SEEN a REAL spaceship being built in one of the old flying boat hangars at Pembroke Dock!!!

Then, when the Star Wars trailers appeared, I saw that very same spaceship (the Millenium Falcon) and my dad told me that it wasn't real…

:(

Someone told me the ship sinks at the end of the movie "Titanic."

I couldn't wait for the bloody thing to take them all to the bottom.

Well since Rose was narrating we all knew she would live.

The truth about Gene Hunt.
