Discussing Movies on MyLot

I agree a 'Warning do not read further if you don't want to read the spoilers' would be appreciated by the readers of film reviews if they haven't seen the film and don't want the ending or certainly the plot revealed. Although a review is needed to be able to recommend others to go and see it or watch it. I like to hear about films worth watching although I did purposely find out what happened in the next episode of Saw, for example I wanted to know what was going to happen in Saw4 but only because I chose to read the spoilers, others may not, so if a warning is put up, then you no not to read any further unless, like me you are impatient to know what happens in the film!

When I see movies or television shows discussed, usually the poster puts in warnings about spoilers. That is the only polite thing to do .

I think that's a very good idea. Or maybe the poster can put in the subject area "plot revealed" along with the movie title. I am not a movie person. I will wait until the movie shows up on cable and watch at home. Last couple of times I went, I fell asleep. Missed a good part of the movie. I get so relaxed when I finally sit down that off I go to lala land.

I think so too. I would not want to watch a movie if someone already told me everything about it.

This is so true. I don't usually post about movies, but the one time I did post about Noah's Arc, a series that just went to the movies, I did put *WARNING-SPOILERS* in the title just in case. Some people are nosy and will watch a movie anyway after hearing about it, others don't want to know a thing about it until they see it. But it should be up to the person, they shouldn't be smacked with it and have it ruined for them. Putting some warning about spoilers in a discussion is nothing more than a common courtesy that should be observed.

Hi worldwise, Good topic!! I, personally like to j=hear other people's reviews on movies. I like to know their opinion of the movie just not necessarily the "whole movie".I like to know if they liked it, who the characters are and how they fared in the movie. Is it worth watching? I don't want to know the ending, or too much about any of the major scenes. Sometimes, something I might think is not worth watching is reviewed well by someone else and I watch it and agree that it was a good movie. Warnings are a good thing if there are spoilers about the movie included in the discussion. That would be the courteous thing to do. Have a nice day..

I do agree with you. Usually when i am reading a rewview about a movie on a websie it has a warning that the article might have a spoiler. However I dont mind reading a spoiler it gives me an idea how the story might develop and i will be more atenttive during the movie.

I sometimes like to read how a movie was enjoyed by one of the members here. I'd like to think I will remember the name of the movie so I can watch it myself given the chance...that's so unlikely actually...lol. There have been times when the poster has avidly described the movie and I've thought...why did you do that? I've also seen where the poster has said that the discussion has a spoiler for that particular movie...it's not so bad when they do this....I think a spoiler should always be announced automatically.

I think that is a good idea. Thats what I do when I am writing a review. I put in a spoiler alert if reading my review will give away too much of the movie.

Good thinking in the future I will put spoiler alert in the first line, I suppose I hadnt really thought about it until then.
