Re: Kubrick, Spielberg, Cheese, Spoilers, and Spam
Finally (and yes call me whatever works for ya after, I'll hold off responding - scouts honor), is it really so complicated to see that the more sloppily the spoiler tag is applied to everything the less effective it is as a tool? If a few really are so sensitive to all preconceived expectations to equate "X movie is based on Y source" to "they all died in the end," what are they asking of everyone else? That the majority (and it must be clear from some of the responses here that is so) needs to either A) give up possibly useful or interest setting relatively benign knowledge by not clicking or B) risk revealing plot pot/climax/ending by clicking. Every spoiler click becomes Russian roulette and aren't far more people compromised and the likelihood of actual/traditional spoilers accidentally exposed increased? Isn't that selfish?
