Title: Spoilers that aren't 'spoilers'.
Post by: Koltar on May 08, 2009, 09:50:57 AM
I just posted some of therse on the Orange & Fluffy.

With the new STAR TREK movie  some people might to babble - DON'T.

Wait til like next Wednesday or Thursday.

 Here are are examples of how to talk or 'spoil'  a movie or show without really spoiling anything:

QuoteExamples :

 End of STAR WARS chapter V: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK....

"It ends with a coiuple of people and some robots looking out a window."

End of STAR TREK II: The WRATH OF KHAN...

"It ends with Jame T. Kirk on the bridge standing next to a woman and he's smiling. " pauses "Oh yeah The Enterprise is near a planet , then it zooms away."

End of the modern BATTLESTAR GALACTICA...

"It ends with some bearded guy browsing at a magazine."
(No I'm not kidding about that ....)

End of THE CRYING GAME....

A Guy in prison gets a visit from a friend"

End of MATRIX REVOLUTIONS....

"Two people sit on a park bench tallking."

This might make a fun game.

End of CASABLANCA .....

"Two people get on a plane. Two other people walk off into the distance chatting"

The end of Citizen Kane:
He's talking about his stupid childhood sled.

I'm doing this wrong, I think.

Yes that was the wrong way .

Try this :

"A bunch of workmen are moving stuff to a truck."

Still true  - but doesn't ruin the movie.

This is hard because when I talk about movies I find it hard not to dig into the meaning behind things which inevitably gives too much away.  Here are my attempts at a few of my favorite films.

Oldboy
Two people live happily ever after.

Big Lebowski
They go bowling.

Big Trouble in Little China
A guy drives a truck.

TURKEY: "NO!!"

ME: " -- screen goes black and the credits roll!"

TURKEY: "You're an ass."

ME: "Your MOM."

TURKEY: "Hey!  Don't you go bringing up my mom!  What's WRONG with y--"

ME: "DONUTS!"

So his character isn't written out then?  He lives?

Avoiding spoilers is harder than you might think, if you give any info at all.

Agent Dunham is a "She", not a "He" - ever since the first episode.

Her name is Olivia Dunham - played by Anna Torv.
 Her existence and Gender doesn't "ruin" anything, even if you just saw the pilot episode.
