When a new movie hits the theater, people everywhere will talk about how great it is, while the half who haven’t seen it yet will plug their ears and screech “spoilers! spoilers!” I don’t understand this, and never really have. It’s no different to me than learning to ride a bike knowing you have a chance of falling off; and spoiler alert, you will. If someone tells me that a character dies before I watch the movie, I’m still going to watch the movie and enjoy it, but I will probably experience it differently. The anticipation drives me more insane than knowing.
