Awesome! My email subscription to themoviespoiler.com was always a little lite on content so these are nice supplements.

Also, not to provoke a flame war, but I feel like if you're only going to the movies to see what the ending is then you're not getting the whole experience. I have lots of personal favorites that are so formulaic that you are guaranteed to know the ending when you walk in. Is there really any chance that Jason Bourne dies/doesn't get the girl/fails to vanquish evil at the end of that series? (Actually, I haven't watched the last one yet so don't tell me!). You get my point but it's about the journey, the style, the effects, the acting with those kinds of movies for me and knowing how it ends doesn't really change that. Additionally, if you know how something like Memento ends you can watch it with that in mind (looking for the clues) and save yourself from having to watch it a second time later. There are too many movies in the world to get to and not enough time.

This is of course different than actively seeking spoilers out which isn't something that I really ever do unless I want to have an idea of what this crazy plot twist is that everyone is talking about (eg Cloverfield) or to be able to participate in conversations on a movie series that I would doubtlessly never watch (eg Harry Potter). I'm just not scared of them when I run across them.

Basically, I guess I'm saying that I appreciate movies on a much deeper level than you

Yeah, and thanks to your apparel, Nate, I don't need to watch the The Wicker Man
