I am 100% AGAINST spoilers, and Joss agrees with me
(he takes it very seriously)
of course this is why I was so intent on getting to an Advanced Screening, so I would be spoiler proof and not be at the mercy of those who figure that it isn't important....

and Rivergirl, you don't get to vote three times!
LOL

Having been really burned on a few movies by bait-n-switch tactics where the trailer and advertisements deliberately gave a false impression of a movie to sell it....
(Black Moon Rising was the worst example)

I don't mind spoilers at all, I like to know what I am getting for my money, instead of paying for one thing, and getting something else.

After a restaurant charged you for filet mignon and handed you a cold cup of ramen noodles instead, wouldn't you be annoyed and mistrusting?

Besides, with Joss it isn't so much the story, as the story-TELLING, cause that man knows how to spin a tale and draw you right on in.

So no.. I dun mind spoilers, and can enjoy a movie just the same (or better) even if I already know the plot - cause it's how ya tell the story that really matters.

I'm a total spoiler "companion". If I could have found a script on line, I would have read it. And I was glad I did when I went to see the movie. I'd tell you why but that would be a spoiler!

I respect that other people don't like them so I'm very careful if I'm discussing something in a spoiler thread.
