A reminder on movie spoilers
« on: July 16, 2011, 10:07:15 PM »
Namely,  don't.  

I should've known better than to click on the Harry Potter thread,  but dammit,  post a warning.  That's the first movie I've actually wanted to go see in theater in years.

I only glanced at the first post,  and assumed that character's demise,  but it'd be nice to be warned about said spoiler.

Sorry, since the book has been out for four years, it did not occur to me that this would be a spoiler.

I don't see how we can just assume that people have seen a movie or read a book, just because it's been out for a month or a year. Or a hundred years.

I've only read the first 3 books,  haven't had time for the rest,  and I've only watched the movies this past winter.  Sorry for not keeping up with your standards for summer reading  ;/

Sweet memories to drive us on,

There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Bruce Willis is a ghost.


It was really Earth all along.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought
