SW:TFA is the latest in a testament to the elephant in the room: 'pirating' isn't the new, insidious plague of the movie times, it's spoiling films. There's almost no possible way to prevent movie spoilers nowadays, in this age of connectivity. From social media to forums to image sites to plain-old Google searches: you damn near cannot (soon WILL not) be able to avoid spoilers for films unless you see it opening night. And even then, still not fullproof, people spoil things from screenings.
I remember theaters getting The Dark Knight Returns shipped to them in two separate packages, to help prevent pirating it, IIRC. Think about it: how can film companies possibly hope to combat/prevent spoilers? They can't. Now YOU, the consumer, can try your best to go web black and stay offline as much as humanly possible until you see the film, but even that seems incredibly improbable.
Again, and SW:TFA is thew newest proof of this: the new cancer/threat of films from here on out (the huge blockbusters, mainly) is preventing spoilers.
Why does it matter? Everyone already knows the endings to the major Shakespeare works and nobody complains of that.
This new obsession with the plot of films is cancer and an inherent anti-art sentiment.
If you literally can't bear a film knowing what will happen then you have no business calling yourself a fan of authenticcinema

>comparing 'spoiling' literature from the 1500's with spoiling films that have been out in (arguably) hours.
Too stupid to be legit, must be troll.
stop making movies with unnecessary twists for the sake of hype, mystery box storytelling doesn't work if your actors are dull and your writing is nothing than a bunch of callbacks to previous movies
The reason we spoil films is because films with a plot worth spoiling are the horrible underbelly of films - films not worth praise, intrigue, awards, or honor. The modern day movies are utter garbage, so they deserve to be spoiled. We will continue to spoil them, evermore, until we start getting a class of movies we deserve.

It's not that hard to NOT see spoilers. Fuck, only place I see them is here on 4chan.

What difference does it make how long it's been out for? If you havn't experienced the story, you haven't experienced it.

See OP, spoilers mean jack shit. Enjoy your ruined garbage.
