You really gotta hate idiots who think spoiling a movie just for the lolz is funny.

Seriously, I go to school, explain that I haven't seen the movie yet, and suddenly everyone starts going "Herp derp this guy dies, the bad guy is actually this guy's father's brother's cousin's nephew's former roommate, I'm a gigantic *******, blah blah blah." Just for the sake of spoiling it.

And then they turn around and say: "Oh, it's your fault for not watching the movie yet! We have the right to spoil the entire thing for you because free speech!"

No joke. That is literally what happened.

Excuse me for not wanting to wait in a 15 minute line or having to sit in a crowded theater.


You should then know that it is probably worse when you are working concessions and serving a 15 minute line. Especially When a movie like Star Wars comes out. The rumors and spoilers swirl about like crazy. Anyway, I Worked concessions today, and the line was being held up by this one annoying group of people who weren't actually in line to buy stuff, they were talking about Star Wars, so I put in my ear plugs and kicked them out of the line about 5 minutes later, because they were holding people up. The group went to see the manager and claimed that I was "being a jerk for no reason" and that they were "in line to buy popcorn" like the pathetic little ****bags that they were. In the end the general manager sided with me and the matter was settled. It is amazing just how mean people are when they come to see a movie as big as Star Wars.

Kind of sad that the only way to 100% spoiler proof yourself is to move to a shack in the middle of an isolated desert in a third world country. And even if by some miracle you do get internet, you can't use it because it is just as dangerous as the real world.

Honestly, these people don't even realize how sociopathic they are being. Taking joy out of someone else's misery or frustration?

Here's what you do: you should then spoil that Darth Vader is actually Luke's father.

HA! Those jerks will never expect that.


I wonder what it was like when that was movie was first released. Did idiots intentionally spoil it for people they KNEW hadn't seen the movie, or were there actual decent people back then who didn't get aroused from ruining other people's fun?


I hear that people were shouting that particular spoiler as they walked out of the theatre back in 1980, especially in front of cues waiting to see the next screening of Star Wars V. So I don't think it needs to be said that I think it's probably the former of your two options.

That said, spoilers do suck but it's not like it's a new low for the star wars fandom.

I am literally going to wait, ever vigilante, for the perfect moment to have my revenge. I will subtly ask them if they are excited for any movies, or if they want to see any movies that I have already seen.

And then, the hammer comes down. I strike them down with all my hatred and my journey to the Dark Side is complete.

Wait what.

I've never been to the theatres since, like, grade 8. There's always stupid people who ruin everything. It's best to either wait a few days for things to settle down, or simply not go, or go to a minor movie theater. Especially nowadays, when idiots are running rampant.

Here's something that's always irritated me:
You're sitting in the theater.

Someone in the audience shouts,
"Whow! Did you see that!?"

No, you've obviously spent fifty dollars to sit before a thirty-foot screen to stare at the ceiling.

Actually, I'd like to take a moment to discuss Dark Side pros and cons.

Pros
-"UNNNLEEEMEEETEAAADD POWAAAAAAHHH"
-Access to the crossguard and staff variations of the lightsaber.
-You get to be all rebellious and sh*t.

Cons
-80% of Sith Lords are ugly as balls.
-You are pretty much destined to one day be killed by your apprentice, killed by a Jedi, mutilated by a Jedi, or some combination of the three.

As for the Wookies and Ewoks, the Ewoks are the short furry teddy bear dudes. The wookies are the larger, hairier, beefier ones.

That irritates the hell out of me, as well. You know what also irritates me? Popcorn snarfing. I don't think people realize how annoying, and loud popcorn chewing actually is.
