/Is painting her nailsSpoilers. I hate spoilers. I hate spoilers so much that if it is not illegal to kill someone, I just might think about it. Serious. People who give out spoilers must DIE!! Or be mute for life for all I care. A particularly famous spoiler for me is my damn brother. That stupid idiot who finds it funny when he spoils something to me. What? Is it my angry face or my yelling or my beating him which makes him crave more? Or does he just enjoy hurting me, seeing me sad and just feel pure evil inside JUST BECAUSE he watched a movie before I did. Tell me people, what the heck is wrong with these people? Why would they want to take out the excitement and anticipation from someone else? ARGHHHHHH~!!!!! I know some people don't mind spoilers. But time and time again I have said, I MIND. I mind hearing spoilers dammit. I prefer watching and having my heart beat twice as fast anticipating who the winner is or what's going to happen next and all. Why do you rob me of this?
Take
X-2 (X-Men 2) for example, the day before going to the cinema, he casually tells me someone's gonna die. With my death stare, he said, "But I never tell who, right? I did not say it was Storm. Oops." Another stare later and he went,"No lah teasing only lah. Can be Rogue. Oh wait, it's the bad guys lah. The good guys never die." WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS WRONG WITH HIM TELL ME PLEASE???? Is my brother really THAT stupid? I feel like drilling a hole in his brain right there, right then. Hello???? You really think I'm THAT stupid ah? Thanks, thanks a lot. And if not to rub salt to the wound, my dad had to say,"Ya, newspaper also wrote that one of the X-Men died." +_________+ Kill me PLEASE! Don't these people enjoy the joy of anticipation? GAAHHHH~!!!! Even if I did not know who died, I will be just waiting for a scene where one is going to die or has the probability to die, right? Just takes all the excitement away. Bloody idiot. This is why I do not read articles about movies I want to watch and also not visit forums discussing anime because I tend to watch slower than most. Since we're on anime right now, let me point the gun to another loyal spoiler of mine.
Jin. What the heck is wrong with brothers/godbrothers? Do they really want me to kill them? In
Jin's case, I've lost count the numerous anime titles he's spoiled for me.
Chrno Crusade, before I knew what was to happen, I already knew everyone was gonna die.
Bleach, tonnes till I can't even remember. The ONLY ONLY ONLY anime which I think he did not spoil for me (more like I tried to evade any questions or discussions pertaining to that anime) is
Fullmetal Alchemist and partly it was because I keep myself up to date with each new episode released. Yes, I only watched english subbed anime. Yes, I do not read the manga. That simply DOES NOT give you ANY right to spoil a title to me (I'm saying this in general and not about
Jin only), especially when I specifically said,"Don't tell me spoilers or I'll kill you." And that is
Jin's speciality. The minute I said that, he goes blabbering a spoiler. Thanks very much. Now die. *bang* Is my english THAT hard to comprehend? Does it sound like I'm trying to perform a reversed psychology when I said those words? (reversed psychology as in I said dun tell but I actually want you to tell) Tell me people, what? What did I do which makes my meaning fail to communicate across?
Coming back to my idiotic spoiler brother, X-2 is just one fish out of the whole Pacific Ocean he laid in front of me. Lord of the Rings: The
Fellowship of the Rings - Boromir's death,
America's Next Top Model Season 4 - who the winner was,
Survivor 1 - who the winner was,
Tomb Raider II - the guy died, and the list goes on. With him, I think the only movie he did not manage (and will not succeed no matter how hard he tries) to spoil to me is
Star Wars Episode III. Why? Cos everyone (ok, not everyone lah), especially me (who is a SW freak), knows that
Anakin will turn to the Dark Side and become Darth Vader. The latest
Harry Potter installment? Being the kiasu he is, he caught the premier on Thursday night. I knew I was going to watch it and definitely spoilers are a no no. So I totally avoided any urge of mine to ask him how was the movie, even how long it was. Success. I enjoyed the excitement awaiting what was going to happen next, who's going to win, who's going to do what, everything. It sure gives me more from my RM8.
So there, to those who know I hate spoilers, you better stop it or I just might lose my cool one day and kill you. To those who don't, now you do so try to avoid it as much as possible. You wouldn't want me going up to you and saying, "Eh, this movie damn sad cos everyone died in the end," right? So there, I've said my fill.
If you ask me: Why not watch it earlier and then spoil it to them?
Or: Why not read the manga then you know everything then spoil to them?
Or: Get the raw and then watch it then spoil it to them?
My answer is the same for all: These spoilers have no fear of being spoiled. They do not mind spoilers themselves and that's what makes this even more frustrating. You can't take revenge, and you can't stop them. Though I'm not one who likes to give out spoilers ON PURPOSE (accidents happen, I agree, even I make mistakes sometimes by perceiving the other party has already watched it) so it's hard for me to take revenge also.
Just if
Lai Ching is reading this: No, the
Survivor spoiler was not on purpose. :) Though
Lee Na and I were shocked. ^_^;;
Oh, and before you start saying I'm no better cos I just gave out spoilers in this post of mine, check those movies/anime.... they're at least 3 months old if not more. And my say is that if you've not seen it by then, probably you won't watch it anyways so no, there is no spoiler.
~~ SAY NO TO SPOILERS! ~~
