  Those things never bothered me. You can hardly spoil the artistic impression.

  • Well, sometimes, like in my post below specific things about the ending are being spoken about - sjb 20:10:55 03/15/07 (3)

    and people should have the option of reading or not. Artistic impressions my remain intact but if you've never seen something it's nice not to know how it ends.

    Also, Tin's suggestion wasn't based on there being actual spoilers in Grits' post. He was just being defensive about being called on his bias.

    • No, SJ, I wasn't being "defensive." Grits mentioned a very specific item, - tinear 04:38:46 03/16/07 (1)

      the guillotine, which was a shocking and critical piece of the ending.
      To have known it was coming would be to very much lessen the impact.

    • Funny you mentioned your post... I was just reading it - Victor Khomenko 20:15:35 03/15/07 (0)

      In fact I bailed out somewhere along the way, as without having seen the film it didn't mean much to me.

      So I think it is largely self-regulating. We tend to read with more attention posts about films that touched us in some way. When I read about something I have not yet seen, I quickly forget most of it.

      But that's me. I don't recall been annoyed too many times by someone giving out the ending to me. Somehow I am usually able to work around it, without even thinking about it.

      But I guess there **could** be cases that would have irritated me.
