Description: ... by stupid people you know.

Since there is no spoiler tag here (that I know of) I'm just going to make the spoilers all in white, so just highlight them to read them. You can still sort of read what it says if you squint, but otherwise it's the best that i know of.
My freshmen year of high school, the Sixth Sense came out on DVD. I hadn't seen it yet, but at the lunch table at school, one of my stupider friends at the time blurted out thatBruce Willis dies at the beginning of the movie and is revealed to be a ghost at the end. Later on when I was watching the movie for the first time, I had forgotten the lunch room incident. However, I remembered about halfway through the movie when one of the hints that Willis is dead came on.
Another stupid friend felt the need to tell me that Trinity dies towards the end of the Matrix Revolutions, even though she fucking knew I hadn't seen the movie yet and wanted to.
I put off seeing Fight Club for years because the ending of that movie was ruined for me too. And I still haven't watched The Others, depsite owning it, for that same reason.
So share your stories and vent :)

I also throw in my hat for "The Sixth Sense." I was looking forward to seeing it, but someone blurted out the plot twist at the end, so I've never seen the movie.
However, I did make sure to avoid any human contact when the topic of "Freddy vs. Jason" came up in August of 2003. I was pimped to see that, but my nearest theater was 20 miles away, and I don't drive (Damn insurance cost and part-time job at the time). I waited patiently for the DVD release, and damn was it worth the wait. I marked out like a bitch.

That sort of reminds me, my girlfriend's brother blurted out the twist in The Village last summer, so she has yet to see that one as well.
Of course I had guessed the twist halfway through that movie anyway, and no one had spoiled it for me.

That reminds me...
In a class I was taking in 11th grade, we watched A Beautiful Mind. Now, I was starting to get suspicious of the plot twist, then before it happens, some faggot blurts it out. Not loud enough for everyone to hear, but for someone seating 5 feet away (like me), it was.
Still... what a twist.

Hm, I don't think that movie has been spoiled for me or not yet. I'd probably remember if I tried watching it.
And not a movie twist, but we were reading The Great Gatsby in Junior English and my entire class was loving the book. My friend, who was a social outcast in the class, finished it before everyone else. One day the people in the class were being really rude and mean to him, for no particular reason that I can recall. He had to leave early so he could do the school announcement, and right before he left the room he says "At the end of the book, Gatsby is shot and dies."
The entire class roared in anger, and I almost fell out of my seat laughing.

I would've laughed my ass off. Kinda reminds me of a time we were watching "Young Frankenstein" in a class, and me and a friend were having a ball reciting all the lines before they happend.
Those were the days.

I'm going to really date myself here. The original Jurassic Park was spoiled for me horribly by people talking about it. The Lion King, Aladin and Robin Hood Men In Tights were all ruined for me by people talking about the jokes, etc. I basically knew every event in these movies before seeing it. I think someone ruined Roger Rabbit for me too.
I saw 6th Sense opening night so I was saved having it ruined.

Star Wars Episode One had tons of spoilers for me as well, mostly because my friend mouthed off about it to me before I had the chance to see it and the movie's soundtrack gave away events in the song titles.

You know, we keep talking about our memories dating ourselves, but we're all the same age, practically.
And yeah, my friend spoiled Memento, Sixth Sense, Fifth Element, and several others.

Mad Dog talking like he's 50 years old... :lol:
I don't count the recent Star Wars flicks in terms of spoilers, because I usually know well in advance of anything good (but still keep my mouth shut), and don't want to wait to find out.

Damn, had anyone ruined Memento for me, I would have been ripshit.
I was the first of the people I know to see the Fifth Element when it was still new, so no danger there.

Am I the only person here that actually saw the end of Sixth Sense coming?

Who knows, seeing as the rest of us seem to have been told long before even seeing the movie. I know I didn't pick up on that twist based on previews.
But it's hard to say, the hints in the movie that Willis is dead are really obvious after the fact.

Well, I saw The Usual Suspects for the first time last week and I must say... what a hell of a movie. I'm glad no one spoiled it for me.
Scrooge McSuck - August 18, 2005 09:26 PM (GMT)
Heh, nothing spoiled for me, but I tend to hate movies to begin with these days.

Went to see Wayne's World in the theaters back in 1992. Towards the end, Wayne gets pulled over by a cop. The gag was that you couldn't see the cop...and it was a funny reveal when it turned out be Robert Patrick from "Terminator 2". WOULD have been hilarious...but some jackass sitting behind me said "it's the guy from Terminator" as soon as Wayne got pulled over. Damn that pissed me off!
Same thing happened when I went to see "Phantom Menace" in 1999. Two teenaged cunts sitting behind us were gabbing through the whole thing. "Watch, now he's gonna' shoot that plane". Dumb shit like that. Theywere just overly enthusiastic...but the entire movie was even more painful than it should have been.
When I worked in the movie theatre during the Summer of 1990, EVERY movie was spoiled for me. We had to wait two weeks until a movie was off of the "New Release" list before we could see it for free. By then, you'd have already heard or seen parts of the flick. We had Total Recall, Ninja Turtles, Miami Blues, Pretty Woman, Die Hard 2, Hunt for Red October, etc. Only movie that wasn't spoiled was "Adventures of Ford Fairlane"...cuz nobody went to see it. Seriously, it was sad....we'd run the movie and nobody would be in the theatre. On an off day, my buddy and I took a bullet for the team and checked it out. Laughed our asses off. Other employees thought I was weird after that. They'd whisper: "oh..that's Erick... he went to see Ford Fairlane" "Gasp!"
