We've all been down that bumpy road before: You're sitting across from a friend who's just dying to talk about last night's [insert TV show] episode and/or the movie they saw over the weekend, but you're deathly afraid of them spoiling the whole thing. And even though you tell them not to spoil it while they continue to pretend as if they're slowly stepping around all the details ("Yes, I know, but let me just tell you about this one scene ...") you know they're about to spoil the whole darn thing anyway. Know what I'm talking about?. Are you there with me? Happened to you over the weekend, didn't it? If so, I'm sorry.
Anyway, those nutjobs over at College Humor recently debuted a hilarious sketch called Spoiler Alert. Essentially it's the scene I described above, but with an elite team of special ops sent in to stop the spoiler from ever happening. And then pretend the entire thing was directed by Michael Bay. I shall say no more ... . (And if you know someone who's spoiling TV shows and movies, please contact your local spoiler alert team immediately.)

Spoiler Alert: Keep Your Mouth Shut

I have a friend who plugs his ears and starts singing off-key every time I begin a sentence with the words “So I saw this movie…” Another friend threatens violence, while I envy my brother who simply forgets everything. With the “twist ending” being used more and more as a pawn to draw moviegoers back towards a declining box office, lately, it’s become nearly impossible to discuss a film without someone shouting at you from across the street. Currently there’s no absolute rule as to when it’s okay to spoil a movie in public – although there should be.
Now that the internet seems to ruin films still in production, how does one go about guarding their inner geekdom? It’s been 45 years since Psycho defined the twist ending, so should I tip-toe around its plot in case the guy in aisle 12 never saw it? Help me out -- what are some tips and tricks to use while on that never-ending quest to protect oneself from the evil Dr. Spoiler?
