I've just been spoiled for Serenity by a thread on this site and I'm absolutely devestated! Not to be overdramatic but I am really quite upset as I prefer to know as little as possible about movies before I see them and Serenity is the most excited about a movie I've ever been in my life.

Of course I understand there is a risk when surfing a website about the movie and I knew that there was going to be a time when I'd have to leave this site to avoid spoilers but I didn't realise that it would be this long from the movie.

I know that this site is always more relaxed than the OB and so if it's a problem for the people on this site then that's fine. But if people could mark all spoilers for just a little bit longer (including stuff from the comicon trailer) I'd really appreciate it.

But like I said this is just a suggestion and if people would rather talk more freely that's fine and I do understand.

Don't feel too devestated, what's "known" about Serenity this early is probably misinformation anyway.

In my experience the next months will bring more and more detailed spoilers...
when the movie has finished shooting then a lot of crew (who would be afraid of being fired if they gave out info while they were working on set) will not hesitate to sell shooting scripts, and tell all kinds of spoilery details.

Personally I wish to remain COMPLETELY unspoiled...
I beg Harken, Please please please
can you creat a spoiler section and move all spoiler threads into it?
Many people here will probably wish to read the scripts and know everything about the movie before it is released,
but an equal number of us really would like to be surprised (watching the movie in the way Joss would like to present it)

I personally consider this even more important than keeping political discussions in the RealWorld section...
or keeping the trolls isolated in their own area

Please?
It would mean a lot to me!

Just don't believe anything you read. You'll be right most the time anyway.

It is easy to disbelieve...
the problem occures when you are finally sitting in the theater April 22nd, 2005
and you've heard over and over again that so and so will die (Tara Anya Fred whoever), and you decided to disbelieve...
but when he/she is offed and you feel 'oh, I guess the spoiler was right' instead of feeling surprise...

I know from Buffy & Angel that Joss will set up amazing surprises, and all you have to do is hear a little about it ahead of time and all your feelings of awed surprise are destroyed...
You knew it would happen
it happened
all feelings of stunned shock are lost

and Joss deserves to be seen with NO expectation
because he will amaze you if he is given half a chance.

Do people who find that their suspension of disbelief is disturbed by spoilers only watch Firefly once?
