Regarding spoilers, I have heard that movie-goers having the plot of the film they are about to see spoilt actually increases their enjoyment of the experience. The explanation given was that it frees them up to focus on more than just following the story. I don't recall exactly where I heard that though....I wanna say Freakonomics radio perhaps (I consume way, way too much media of that kind).
Also, OV, if I could get into some early preview action I'd be most into that!

It might be true of some people, but I know that me, personally, it drives me crazy not being able to experience things first-hand. I know It's somewhat due to my obsessive compulsiveness, though.

for sure
however, like anything, the finding represents the average. Without seeing the actual stats of the study, I wouldn't know for sure, but I'd be amazed if it was only outliers who didn't like spoilers. /some rant about bimodality, which isn't nearly as sexy as it sounds.

The Usual Suspects was the first film I saw with a real twist like that, and it blew me away, so I totally hear you. A well executed surprise can make a film.
Official Statement: JakeTheBank, Co-Host Extraordinaire
I told you all from the beginning that this idea stemmed initially from JakeTheBank, who then approached me about co-hosting it. Since his return to the land of KMC, where the women are men and the men are dogs, he's also agreed to come back on as a co-host to this tournament. If you ever have any questions, feel free to PM either one of us.
