I did. I'm not sure how, since I lurked here and elsewhere a good bit, but I made it into the theatre with nothing that wasn't in the series or the trailers. I can still think back on my raw emotions and break out in a cold sweat.

I did. The only things I knew were what I saw in the trailer.

And the experience was pure pleasurable surprise and enjoyment.

Me, too. I somehow managed to stay almost entirely spoiler-free. Man. My nerves were shot comin' out of that theater. I loved it!

There was an incident that was sad that I kind of knew was going to happen...

And then one that blindsided me... my heart was beating out of my chest and I was breathing like someone having a heart attack.

I have NEVER had a cinematic experience like that. I saw it again last night... same heart beating, but my breathing eased a little since it didn't catch me off-guard.

Whew... GREAT STUFF JOSS!!!! EVERYONE SHOULD SEE THIS MOVIE!!!

Not me. I hit The Big Spoiler right here on FFF.net just days before the premiere, in a thread that gave absolutely no warning. And I had tried very hard to avoid the spoilers up till then.

I am very angry with one of our bretheren here (who shall remain nameless). It didn't ruin the BDM for me, but it did reduce the impact greatly.

It was in a thread titled "A Message From Joss", though possibly the spoiler has been hidden or a warning added since I saw it.

After months of dedicated spoiler avoidance, I was spoiled THREE DAYS before the premier by some merchandise on CafePress.

Suffice it to say, I did not make a purchase.

I saw it without being spoiled on all but one point.

To avoid having to mark spoilers, I'll say it was listed as most people's "number two" shock, not the "number one" shock. So, there was still some huge things I was floored by.

I was spoiled, though, by looking at the Serenity soundtrack's track names. Somebody even warned me (on these boards) before I did it! But no, like Lot's wife, I just had to take a peek. KF

I watched it without having received any spoilers. I did have to avoid reading any posts that remotely sounded like they reviewed or otherwise discussed the movie. Same for news articles.
