    Only in America. Us Brits only have one, but thankfully it's the first one.

    Out of interest: Would you count a mention of one of the throwaway funny lines/jokes/funny scenes of X film as a spoiler?

      Probably not. The "Without your armor..." bit had meme-ified before the movie even hit the big screen.

        All depends. I have one friend who considers even humming the tune of something from a musical to be unacceptable spoilers. I have another who won't care if I explain the whole plot of something to him because he'll want to see it anyway. One of the MLP groups I was in had a big fuss when someone posted a single frame from a leaked episode, even though it had no plot-related information (the only thing it did was show that there was another instance of the 'snips' character model.)

        It takes all sorts.

          I don't mind snips of dialogue or describing a single fight scene or similar. I have a problem when you pretty much tell me who the bad guy in the sequel will be, without letting me find out for myself.

            I can think of a sub-category of this.

            I've mentioned in the CS.com forums on occasion that I like to watch some video walkthroughs (also called "Lets Play") made by a particular guy. He does the Nancy Drew games (the ones made by Her Interactive) but has also started branching out into other games of late.

            In SO many of the not-newly-released games, people have been posting spoilers about who the culprit is. It is really annoying and he's starting to put a policy on those.

              Finally saw the movie yesterday, and found the after credits scene when the wife and I went "Well sure, why not stay and see?"

                I spoiled the first Sherlock Holmes for two of my coworkers.

                      Anyone who's seen Avengers might be interested to know that on Twitter, Barack Obama apparently spoils the movie when tweeting to TheRealStanLee...

                      Yup, Obama spoils movies. For those who don't want to look it up:

                        It's not in Obama's twitter history, and it's definitely not from him, since all of his tweets are signed because the twitter account is run by an aide and he hardly every says anything himself.
