re: Stand by Me (spoilers)

It's more about if you enter a thread about a 24 year old movie you should know good and well that plot points will be discussed. It is your choice to enter the thread. Watching an older movie with someone that has seen it before that gives away the ending is completely different.

Not everyone has heard of every movie. For instance, neither of the people last night had heard of it.

And plot point shouldn't be discussed if it doesn't have "spoilers" in the title. I don't understand why this is so difficult of a concept. If I had just wanted to talk about the cast, I would have not put spoilers, and the thread might have gone like "it's amazing to think where the cast of Stand By Me ended up" and then initiated a discussion about the cast.

For example I dvr'd tonights Southpark and will watch when I go to bed in an hour or so. I am staying the hell away from the Southpark thread because I know what's in it even though it isn't labeled spoilers.

However a thread about an upcoming Big Brother in which people know what will happen ahead of time because of BB After Dark should be labeled spoilers.

We've talked about it before, and I think it's pretty clear that TV shows are a different matter. I would certainly prefer "spoilers" to be written, but TV threads are just always going to have spoilers by definition, so I do what you do and stay out of them.
