Do spoilers ruin your life?
Yes! They make me die the small death.
No. Posting on an Internet forum is more important to me.

Spoilers suck, if you weren't intending on knowing them. I'm not super sensitive on the issue but I like to watch movies spoiler-free. Of COURSE the hero wins in the end, but it's the details that count (and sometimes the hero DOESN"T win in the end and spoilers suck for that, too.)

For those who say "but it doesn't ruin the experience knowing so-and-so beforehand!", that's what all subsequent viewings are for. I want the first one to be the experience the director intended. I saw Sixth Sense unspoiled, and it hit me like a brick when I realized the plot just a short bit before it was spelled out. Matrix was cool to see blind. A decent amount of scifi and suspense lose their impact when the plot is revealed. I want to get caught up in the movie, not waiting for certain scenes to happen or "oh yeah I remember this part from the trailer."

If you want spoilers, be my guest- just let those of us who don't want them stay in the dark!
