Exactly. I think I actually hate that shit worse than Wiggum does. - Trish Dec 16, 15:28 34
- I apologized. But there's a statute of limitations. I ain't pretending a spoiler from Citizen Kane deserves the same respect as one from the finale - TWuG Dec 16, 15:39 29

    - you obviously haven't wanted to watch that much if you've managed not to for twenty-odd years. - mafic Dec 16, 16:11
    - You must live in a cave. It's basically the ne plus ultra of movie spoilers. - TWuG Dec 16, 15:51 14
      - It or Soylent Green. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 16, 16:17

        It's not about how old the movie is, but how well-known the ending is (or at least is supposed to be) -- nm - Roger More Dec 16, 15:56 9

        I agree with your IM - see my other post - but count me as one of the people amazed that you didn't know the ending -- nm - Roger More Dec 16, 16:01 6

        I challenge that. -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 16:16
        
        There's also the new generations of moviegoers who don't know about classic films -- nm - con_carne Dec 16, 16:09 2
        
        And don't really care to watch Classic Films -- nm - amoxy Dec 16, 16:10 1
        
        Agreed. that said, how can someone not know Rosebud? - loosilu Dec 16, 16:14
        
        That's a fair assumption. -- nm - TWuG Dec 16, 16:07
      - strangely, I agree with the first sentence of your IM but not the second. - Roger More Dec 16, 15:53
      - I don't think there's a universal statute of limitations. I think it's set by a community. People have asked politely that consideration be shown. -- nm - mara Dec 16, 15:52
    - You have got to be fucking kidding me -- nm - amoxy Dec 16, 15:46 3
      - It is kind of amazing, considering how often it's been spoiled here. -- nm - mara Dec 16, 15:51 2

        it's on tshirts and shit. it's everywhere! -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 16:17
  - And all TV shows should be watched within 24 hours! -- nm - mara Dec 16, 15:40 7
    - pixie? -- nm - nubby Dec 16, 15:46
    - I'm actually not sure where I'd draw a rule for TV. Might depend on the show or even episode. - TWuG Dec 16, 15:45 4
      - Nobody's saying you can't talk about it. We're saying when you talk about, keep it in the IM and use spoiler headings. (I don't care about being - mara Dec 16, 15:49 3
        
        And I'm saying after a certain point the onus is on the person not wanting to be spoiled. I'm not treating a 67 year old film as if it was released - TWuG Dec 16, 15:54 2

        Because what Amy viewed as a spoiler, I viewed as a throwaway. She was right to be offended. Even I wouldn't set a limitation at 24 hours. - TWuG Dec 16, 16:02

- you know what??? - Remlik Dec 16, 15:31 3

    - It's not even a function of age. Everyone has a whole list of movies they haven't seen, no matter how old they are. -- nm - mara Dec 16, 15:39
    - knew -> new -- nm - nattering nabob of nitpickery Dec 16, 15:37
ah. -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 15:19
