Semper Fi - 1775 |
There was a time I loved the story and suspense of a great book, TV Show or movie, but over the past decade or so I’ve found that I embrace spoilers. I am blessed (cursed?) with a vivid imagination and it takes me zero time to become emotionally attached to characters within a book or on the screen; to the point I don’t want to watch if I know things are going to go south for the character. Case in point, I’m currently watching The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and I cannot help but read the Wiki on the show to know what happens first. I was the same way with Thrones, had to know the spoilers before they happened. Sometimes I wish I could just enjoy the story for what it is, but that is surprisingly more challenging than I’d expected. Anyone else? ___________________________ All it takes...is all you got. ____________________________ For those who have fought for it, Freedom has a flavor the protected will never know ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | ||

I only read about spoilers if it's something I don't care to watch. Don't think I've ever had regrets. ================================================ Ultron: "You're unbearably naive." Vision: "Well, I was born yesterday." | |||

nope. I hate to know the ending before it happens. Do, Or do not. There is no try. | |||

No. There is something wrong with you. ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past me I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. -- | |||

No. I understand the use of Cliff's Notes or summaries if it's something you HAVE to read, or watch, and really don't want to. But no way on something I want to read or watch. There's a reason it's called a SPOILER- because the general consensus is that it SPOILS the experience! | |||

I always turn to the last page of the book, but don't read it. It's only to find out how many actual pages I'll be reading. Some books are printed on heavier stock and "look big" but are only 300 pages or so of actual novel. And oftentimes there are lots of author comments, previews of the next book, etc. at the end. When in doubt, mumble | |||

No,, but I almost always while watching a show go to imdb and check out the actors and their histories. | |||

Same here. Reading about the errors and/or trivia. Drives mmt wife nuts, thinks I'm not watching or enjoying the movie. Life moves pretty fast.

Guilty as charged. Character development can be tedious and boring. I need to know if it can hold my interest. | |||

Come to think of it, I have watched a few movies (mostly on TCM), looked them up on Wikipedia and read the article while watching the movie. No particular, articulable reason, and it doesn't "spoil" the movie. | |||

No, but I sometimes jump to the most recent page of a forum thread that I'd not been following. Regarding books--I like to reread my favorites. Of course, I know how they end, but I just temporarily forget that and enjoy them again. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||
