Movie spoilers have become a big deal in the internet age, though what was one time a hugely controversial topic concerning online film discussion has since become a surprisingly popular part of cinephilia on the web. Sites specifically focused on spoilers are easily found on the net, YouTube videos present montages of secret twists and of course there’s that movie spoiler t-shirt that’s surely a hit with geeky yet pretentious video store clerks.
So, at first this new clip of two guys spoiling 100 movies endings in five minutes didn’t seem all that special. However, the duo’s delivery is terrific (both in the clothed and naked version), and considering the revelation that “Meg Ryan and (respective love interest) get together!” takes up eight slots in a row, the video is clearly more a joke on movie spoilers than it is about the mean-spirited divulging of secrets. Also, the guys point out a few good examples of why remakes of movies with twists are unnecessary. Duh.
Even if you’re afraid that you haven’t seen all 100 movies being spoiled in the video, check it out. Never let a movie’s worth be dependent on the twist. A good movie should be able to be enjoyed time and time again despite your familiarity with it, such as the original Psycho and, as these guys point out, Total Recall (”because it has a chick with three boobs in it!”).
