Care to spoil the cheat? -- nm - MDH Aug 10, 08:12 6
- Sure (spoiler for ridiculous twist) - ceregon Aug 10, 08:22 5
  - I didn't like the movie, but the one thing I'll say to defend that cheat (spoilers) - Danoslam Aug 10, 08:29
  - and it's pretty bad when they movie has to *advertise* that there is a twist, which of course makes it obvious what it was, without even seeing it. -- nm - znufrii Aug 10, 08:23 3
    - Yup, as soon as I saw the ad that announced "the twist" I knew what it was -- nm - Stephen Aug 10, 08:29
    - IIRC it used to be pretty common for older movies to advertise that. - con_carne Aug 10, 08:28 1
      - That might have worked when audiences were less savvy and cynical about moviegoing and more willing to suspend disbelief. - znufrii Aug 10, 08:30
