|  Do spoilers ruin the TV show, or film, for you? Do you tend to seek out spoilers, or do you avoid them? | |

| I avoid them as much as possible. Ad that's very easy to do on the internet by having enough common sense to stay away from a board or forum dedicated to the show or movie.
And I never expect people to "spoiler tag" The Sopranos season 2. People on the internet get ridiculous about it. | |

| I have learned that using Wikipedia as a resource for info on a movie, I never read it before seeing the movie. They often give a COMPLETE synopsis of the movie.
In my own Movie Blurbs, I am mindful of not spoiling, but some ppl have an inflated idea of what a spoiler is. I had one person on another board always raggin' on me for spoiling it for her. I told her don't read my blurbs because no one else complained.
It is very subjective and I usually compare my blurbs with professional reviewers to see if they give this or that fact that is on the line of being a spoiler.
In fact, I have seen professional reviewers give clues to a movie twist that I considered a spoiler and took care not to even reference that in my blurb. Some ppl are better at second guessing a twist in a story than others. The one I avoided would have been a giveaway to anyone who grew up on the old Twilight Zone TV shows.

| They don't bother me, usually by the time I see the show or movie I've long forgotten about them. | |

Same here. That anticipation shit is overrated. I don't mind knowing exactly what's going to happen. | |

| It is best to be spoiler-free, and I try to avoid them, but I usually can't. | |

| Try as I might, I just can't fight the temptation to read them. It does take a lot of the suspense away, but I still usually enjoy the build up to the reveal all the same. | |

| I don't mind spoilers.. it actually helps me out sometimes when I'm reading a book and get a bit confused as to what's going on. | |

| I usually seek them out in my reality shows and OLTL. Even if I know what is going to happen I still like to see it played out. | |

| I don't really mind them with reality tv or sitcoms. For dramas and movies, I like to avoid them. | |
