heh? what spoilers? You mean about Jodie Foster finding out the Stews and the Marshalls were the bad guys?

I managed to come across an LJ regarding comments of the prescreened movie.
Also there were the pics, dsiscussions, and trailers for the movie. Oh and the visual companion...I only read a few lines of the script. Not to mention read ahead confirming what was discussed on the lj thingy.
I've been slightly spoiled...but not entirely. The movie still caught me by surprise though.

I was spoiled by a dork on the 'versal board who used the spoiler AS the topic of his thread. It was a BIG one, too (you know the one I'm talking about). Even so, I was still able to feel the appropriate emotions when it happens (and continue to feel them even after 5 viewings). Such is the greatness of the movie, I think.

I was lucky - had to stay the hell away from the boards and anything remotely mentioning Serenity on the internet for about four days, but it worked!

My wife and I actually managed it. Unfortunately, we managed it by taking no risks and avoiding FFF.net for about a month before the release date.
Glad to be back.

Me too!
I got kept away from FFF.net for about a month and a half b/c of move then no net then busy with honours project stuff, etc. Also, we still haven't gotten around to getting cable (any tv really) yet, so that saved me commercials.
Total, I got two shots of on set where I saw an Alan and Ron in "uniform" but, Ron was wereing something that wasn't in the movie. Aside from that, I caught literally two seconds of commercial while at the parents place before realizing and changing channels.
That's entering pretty clean if you ask me

well I did, but I did it the easy way...
I knew I would go balistic if I got spoiled,
so I drove 400 miles to Chicago to see the BDM as an
Advanced Screening on May 5th....
and boy was I glad I did!
the next day the official board was covered with spoilers!
Seeing it unspoiled was amazing, I was so beside myself with excitement going into the theater,
not having a clue as to anything that was coming...
and going out totally over-whelmed...
I couldn't think about anything else for days!
I'm planning to see the film for the 5th time this weekend!

Likewise. I avoided the boards for quite a while, because even the "non-spoiler" threads talking about the preview screenings felt like they veered a bit too close to the edge to me.
I did know this: that there was a "big spoiler" out there, and that it was bad rather than good. I suspected the general nature of the event, but didn't know anything more than that.
Then I saw the movie. When what I'll call "surprise #1" happened, I thought, "Oh, that was the 'it' I've been worrying about."
And then I relaxed. And then "surprise #2" happened, and I just sat there for the next several minutes with my mouth hanging open, watching the screen but not really catching what was going on. Can't...believe...what...did...I...just....see....?
I am now a solid convert to the "no spoilers" school. Wow.
