PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT! WARNING!

[timepiececlock]

If you ever go to ainitcool.com, be wary of the link that says "2 new Matrix Revolutions reviews."

It has two interesting and mostly non-spoilery reviews.

However, just after those two it has brief commentary from one of the site people (I think Harry Knowles), in which he divulges a spoiler for Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, WITHOUT WARNING. A spoiler I clearly don't remember from reading the books.

I wrote a letter to him about it, because I didn't appreciate being spoiled for the one movie while reading about something *totally* different. I just wanted to get a warning out to my friends list, because I know a lot of you are interested in seeing the final LotR movie, and some of you would rather go into it innocent, as I had hoped to.

NEVER MIND. HE WROTE ME BACK. IT WAS A JOKE. I swear if there are any such things that do happen in the movie, I'll email him back a bloody horse's head or something. I never thought spoiler jokes were funny. For example, someone spoiled me for the ghost thing on AtS. Then they told me it wasn’t real. And lo and behold, it was. Not cool.

I got a letter back. So apparently, it's a joke not a spoiler. So, so funny, you can see how much I'm laughing. I'm sure it's there somewhere on my face between the icy glare and dismissive lip curl.

I wouldn't mind doing that on general principle with those guys. I stopped visiting that site regularly because the fan-boy sense of humor started to grate on my nerves. The humor they display is exactly the type that would find spoiler jokes funny because as long as they know it's not true, they can enjoy watching people run around and go crazy.

The sad part (and for them, I'm sure, the funny part), is that this is the only movie they could have spoiled me for that would garner any kind of reaction from me. And it was a long reactionary letter. Any other film (the matrix, kill bill 2) I would have been annoyed but not angry or hurt.
