Many seem concerned with wanting to avoid “spoilers” for movies, and that’s fine.
In my case, I notice that the more I know about a movie in advance, the deeper and richer my experience is. I don’t care about being surprised. I want a richer experience.
So perhaps those who enjoy the surprise prefer to avoid “spoilers”, and those who want a richer experience don’t mind advance knowledge?
Either approach is fine, of course, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s connected with personality traits. And it’s clearly influenced by culture and sub-cultures.
Life is set up so it’s a mix of likely spoilers while inherently being spoiler-free. We may have ideas about what’s likely to happen but what actually happens is a surprise – either in the details or even the main plots.

- either one fine, and may be connected with personality traits (also, I rarely re-watch movies)
- in life

This is just an observation without much more to it. I usually try to write posts with more substance, but sometimes this is OK too.
