G'day Gabe,
OK, here's when they will be useful. I want
to know the background of
the Movie X before I go out to see it. You know, the actors, filming
locations, etc. But not the plot. Do I not deserve to know what will
spoil my fun, even when there is a perfectly functioning and
unobtrusive system established for that purpose? ~~~~
You can get all that from IMDb, without the risk of your eye
accidentally picking up information you don't want.
But Wikipedia does "not suck".
I wouldn't look at Wikipedia if I wanted to avoid
a spoiler, whether
there was a spoiler warning or not. The warning is not effective. It
doesn't assist those who you think will want it, and it serves only to
annoy those who don't want it.
It has helped me a few times. ~~~~
