Maybe, we should start a SPOILER ONLY sub-thread so that we can clearly discuss....

Here it is folks!
A thread about spoilers...read at your own risk!

I remember my first spoiler...(seriously)...and I never forgave my childhood favorite cartoonist for it.

More than a few online sources mention it, proving that I wasn't the only one traumatized.

As I was preparing to watch Soylent Green for the first time on television my father told me the big surprise.

He was trying to make a joke about how I should get some crackers to eat during the movie. I didn't get it. So he had to ruin the ending so I would laugh at his joke. Roll Eyes

Couldn't have waited another hour or two.

A kid in my class in junior high also blurted out the truth about Luke Skywalker's parentage the first day after the movie came out. I think I was going to see it later that day.

And yeah, The Crying Game was spoiled for me too. I still haven't bothered to watch it.

I hate spoilers. Angry

will you people who have seen prometheus please give it the unmitigated vitriol that it deserves? it sucks. it has charlize theron running away from an alien spaceship that is rolling on it's side. she eventually gets crushed and thereby the film has been lowered to the level of a roadrunner/coyote cartoon. if ridley scott does a directors commentary for the dvd the only thing he can say during this scene is " i'm sorry. what was i thinking? how did i not see how bad this was becoming?"
the avengers had thoroughly re energized my suspension of disbelief circuits. (ironman grabs a nuclear tipped cruise missle and flys it into the alien mothership! good grief!) but there was no way i could buy the crap that was for sale in prometheus. the stupid idiot is on a mission to contact alien life and when he does make contact he has no protocols or training to guide him. so he just says "hi there boy. how you doing today? i'm not menaced by your tentacleeeeYAHHHHHHHH. GET IT OFF ME! GET IT OFF ME AHHHHH AAHHHH" And this guy is subsequently transformed into a flesh eating zombie. the plot just goes around and around like that for a while and they wrap it all up in some bullshit alien mystery of why did they create us and why do they want to destroy us. i'm flabbergasted.

Veteran character actor Sean Bean* is working on "Scorched Earth"** the story of a post-apocalyptic bounty hunter. He's such a great acting presence you can't help but root for him. I hope he makes it!

Swords, bullets, falls sure but cows! Shocked

'STAR TREK' minor spoiler --

So I interviewed Simon Pegg. A phoner. I asked him for his thoughts on the little shout outs "Into Darkness" sends to "Trek" fans. Because neither of us wanted to give things away about the film, we only discussed a minor one. I would not have been upset knowing this when when going to the movie, but I just want to warn you that a tidbit is about to be given away, if you read on. I think it's OK to.

Simon Pegg: “I was in New York, and one of the producers brought me the script. I went up to my room to read it, and I kind of thought I’ll read the first few pages then I’ll go down and do some Christmas shopping. But I couldn’t stop reading it, and every now and again I would leap out of my chair and just laugh my ass off because there were these brilliant little things, like what they did in back-referencing previous ‘Star Trek’ moments. Even little stuff like the moment in the movie when Uhura, Kirk, and Spock go down to Kronos. The ship they use to go down there is a little shuttle, and if you listen very carefully, they talk about it being the ship that was confiscated during the Mudd incident. That ship they go down to Kronos in belonged to Harry Mudd, which is just glorious! To anyone who doesn’t know the original series, that line doesn’t matter, but to anyone who does, it’s such a gift! It’s a great feeling.”

harry mudd's first ship was destroyed by an asteroid in "mudd's women". his second ship can be presumed to be the one that he used in "I Mudd". therefore it can be presumed that both episodes have been passed in the timeline and neither can be employed in a feature film. this sucks Angry

Kirok: Remember the reboot is not beholden to the old scripts and timelines and remember to never underestimate the resilience of Harcourt Fenton Mudd! In a previous post, I thought of a great actor to play this most infamous of intergalactic rascals. This recently found picture suggest I may have guessed right:

highly dubious. the subject in this photo knows who is photographing him so j.j. would surely find out who did it and blacklist them.
also kirk is just now meeting the mother of his unborn son so we have to wait at least 20 years before he (son of kirk) is introduced in the reboot of "wrath of kahn"
