Now, it is one thing for buffyfans and trekies to protect their secrets. There's a weak case for books just published and episodes yet unscreened in some parts of the world. After all perhaps someone searching us here has just come from some fandom site where spoiler warnings are expected. However, when this crap juvenile starts getting into our mainstream arts coverage - and particularly historical works - we just look bloody ridiculous.
I had to laugh, an FAC I'm involved in right now wants me to consider a spoiler warning for a film with no budget and minimal plot that was marketed solely because the girl takes her clothes off in an unrelated-to-the-"plot" scene.
I was, for once, unable to come up with a useful response.
