08/02/2005: The Official Spoiler Thread.

Been super slammed at work. Here is my tale of woe: This morning, I snuck outside for the day’s first ultra-quick under-the-radar cigarette break, and what do I see across the street? Every big time advertising icon imaginable, in full costume, from Mr. Peanut to Tony the Tiger, the Crash Test Dummies, the Energizer Bunny and beyond. My own personal Babylon, right across the fucking street, and I didn’t have time to visit, much less run upstairs to grab my cell phone camera. Oh, poor me. And you thought those Krauts in the Third World had it bad. No idea what the celebration was about, but a coworker soon appeared in the office holding a pair of foam Energizer Bunny ears. Augh I hate him.

Sort-of Survey: Want to try something different with this thread, so BE WARNED before you read it. It’s the SPOILER thread. Consider the comments section for this entry your one-time ticket to ask your fellow readers for the scoop on anything you want to know from all walks of entertainment — if you’re looking to be spoiled, ask away. Ask about movie endings. Ask about what happened on last week’s Six Feet Under. I’m not sure how this will turn out, but it could be interesting. DO NOT READ the comments if you’re avoiding spoilers for anything in particular at this point in time. It’s all fair game. Doesn’t have to be new stuff, either. Personally, I’ve always wondered how Predator 2 ended.

at the end of predator 2, Danny Glover defeats the Predator on his own ship, and then like 6 other Predators de-cloak all around him (as a kid I shit my pants!), and carry the body away and one stops to give Danny Glover an old pistol from the 17(18?)00’s and Danny has to get off the ship before they take off. The end. Okay lets hope it wasnt explained already while I was typing this.

This will be 100+ comments real quick.
Potter: Snape was the Half-Blood Prince, and Lord Voldemort can’t be killed until 6 objects called Horcruxes, each containing a fragment of his soul, have been destroyed. And Harry’s right about Malfoy, but it doesn’t matter.
100 Years of Solitude: The ants carry away the baby, which has died, and a whirlwind of destruction demolishes Macondo.
Ender’s Game: What Ender thought was a simulation was actually a real battle between humans and buggers with actual casualties that very nearly destroyed the only other intelligent species humankind had yet encountered in the universe.

I religiously watch Six Feet Under and I must say, I wasn’t too surprised that someone was going to die given that it is the final season. However, the show never fails to introduce surprises when the viewers least expect it. I didn’t expect Nate’s brain problems to sneak up again nor did I expect him to die so suddenly from it. It sucks how things were left between Nate and Brenda (I always liked Brenda even in her crazy days but I got to like her even more this season).

Did anyone know how to interpret Nate’s ‘van ride’ with David who was all of a sudden a hairy, weed smoking hippie (and then turned back to old David just as Nate was going in the ocean)? I’m not sure what that transformation was supposed to symbolize.

Bruce Willis was dead all along! Yeah… and? Sixth Sense was the first time I got really pissed about a "twist" ending. I had it figured out from the get-go and couldn’t understand why everyone was so shocked at the end. Still a great movie overall, but the whole experience left me a bit jaded anytime I hear about amazing plot twists.
As for Harry Potter 6, haven’t read it yet, but heard somewhere that Dumbledore was dead and I could have sworn that he died already. Then I realized that it was the actor who originally played him in the movie – guess the lines between reality and fantasy got a bit skewed…again…

Okay, serious question this time. Could someone explain to me why Rachael went down as a "bad guy" in AntiTrust. I mean she wrote the code for the graphic interface, so she was at least partially good right? And at least as partially good as Claire. She helped the knowledge be broadcast to the world.

Maybe I just need to watch it again, but it seems to me that she’s a good guy. At any rate Kudos to them for combining Johnny Mnemonic with Hackers :)

Hey this is kind of outta nowhere but if anyone would know it would be here.. in the 80’s i wanna say that there was this cartoon called "tiger sharks" or somthing to that effect and they’d be like men creature who when jumping in the water would turn into shark like things or walruses whatever sea creature was appropiate for the charcter. When they were in trouble they’d send out some sorta sonar that sez "tiger tiger by the tail" to other tigersharks who would respond with "hold on tigershark" with a similar sonar. Anyway.. it was kinda like Silverhawks but underwater. I cant find any info about the show so i’m starting to think i may have been imagining things.. but if it did exist does anyone have info about it?

Anyone ever play and finish Crono Cross (for playstation)? The 2nd disc wouldnt work for me, no matter how much coaxing I did.

So, how did it finish?

PS2s don’t like the second Chrono Cross disc. I had to plug back in the PS1 to get further. Keeping the PS1 was a good idea…and so was finally finding a snap-on LCD screen for it. A few days ago I played a little FFVI and I was NOWHERE NEAR MY HOUSE. You’d kill to be me….

Oh yes, the ending.

First I need to know where you are really. There’s a point in the game where you assume it’s the last battle, but it really isn’t….going through the temple and fighting the Timedevourer guy does not end the game….

Well, I consider the true ending to be the actions immediately after, after you rescue Kid from the fire in the past, and talk to Crono and pals who have weirdly materalized back into existence on the beach. This is because the first two endings you can get, by fighting the REAL final boss, are short and barely any good.

If you do what the game’s been implying and play six elements in the correct order in the boss fight, then use the Chrono Cross against him…you get the nice ending, where Schala is freed from his head. That’s about all that happens.

If you do NOT do this, but instead beat the boss with brute strength, you kill Schala too. This means that Kid is also dead, because she is sort of Schala. Sad ending, but also just as short.

To see some longer (and better) endings, you have to do what you did in Chrono Trigger and play through the game a second time, challenging the final boss and ending it prematurely every so often.

To all those who haven’t played Chrono Cross…play Trigger first if you can.

Let’s see…

Mara, you’re obviously talking about The Stranger :)

I had the ending to Sixth Sense after the first scene too… not very much of a twist, and the whole movie was boring because no one but the kid could talk to Bruce Willis. Would’ve been a great 5 minute short, but sadly it wasn’t.

I loved TigerSharks! It was part of a longer show called The Comic Strip that also featured Karate Cat, which was my favorite when I was 7.

In Million Dollar Baby, the main character loses the title bout, where she’s paralyzed from the neck down. She then asks her coach to kill her… after deliberation, he does.

As far as Harry Potter goes, Snape takes "the unbreakable oath" to help Malfoy kill Dumbledore. Since Malfoy is just a kid, he’s not terribly successful, and just when we think Snape is going to put a stop to things he kills Dumbledore. Harry tries to fight him off, but is completely unsuccessful. He decides not to go to Hogwarts next year… instead, he and Hermione and Ron are going to seek out and destroy Voldemort.

I haven’t seen any of the 4th and 5th seasons of Six Feet Under because I don’t have HBO anymore. But I’ve been watching the commercials online. So Nate really dies, eh? From what I saw on the commercials it just looked like he was in a comma.

Dumbledore "appears" to die in the Half-Blood Prince but I don’t think he really did. Dumbledore told Malfoy that he could make it appear that that Malfoy was dead so that Voldemort wouldn’t kill him. Which leads me to believe that the whole thing between he and Snape was a hoax because Snape took the unbreakable oath at the beggining and it was the only way Snape could get out of it without dying himself. Now Dumbledore is free to find the other Horcruxes covert style.

Sam Beckett never returned home on Quantum Leap. But, then again, I think EVERYONE has seen that finale.

I remember one of my ex-co-workers at the video store I used to work at (he’s no longer there either) joking about how "Passion of the christ" had "a suprise ending–you didn’t see it coming" "laughs at every turn" and "Jodie Foster–that’s right–Jodie Foster–and she wasn’t even in the movie!"

Bill Cosby is actually alive at the end of "Ghost Dad." I heard this co-worker use the words "deep" "a cinematic masterpiece" and "poetic" to describe the movie.

Oh yeah, before I forget, Pee-Wee Herman was cancelled after he was found in that XXX theater.

And my boyfriend opened a movie theater door that was showing "War of the Worlds" just to say "It’s a shame that Tom Cruise dies at the end!" We don’t know if he actually dies though. Great joke to say the least.

Last Sunday’s episode of Six Feet Under was a little surprising. I was expecting Nate’s brain thingy to come back, but when he woke up from the coma, I thought he’d be okay. But he had to emotionally destroy Brenda first, then die. Brenda hasn’t been my favorite character, but she’s really gotten her act together over the last year. Becoming a psychiartist, taking care of Nate’s daughter, Maia. Anywho, I thought Nate had been a whiney dick for a while. I wonder what will happen to Maia now?

Hey wasn’t there an inscription on the revolver Glover is given at the end of Predator 2? I could have swore it was Billy the Kid. See, the Predators were hunters, and apparently, they came to Earth during different time periods to match up against the best. Sad that Danny Glover is the best fighter we have ever had.

In Jaws the movie, it is chief Brody who kills the shark with a rifle and compressed air tank. Quint gets ‘et’ by the shark and Hooper and Brody survive to tell the tale.

In Jaws the book, Hooper goes down in the shark tank but the shark simply rips that apart and eats Hooper.Brody and Quint leave and then come back the next day. The Shark thens jumps onto the boat. Quint grabs a harpoon and fatally wounds it. It slides back into the briney deep but the harpoon rope wraps around Quint’s leg and drags him down too. The Shark then reappears, dragging the dead Quint and makes one final run at Brody. He shoots it with a rifle and it stops two feet away from him. The end.

No one’s answered consulatsunset about Haunted yet.

The writers all cut parts of themselves off, sabotage the food supply, and sit around thinking up new ways to hurt themselves. The plan is to make out the guy that set the thing up (can’t remember names) out to be some insane sadist that locked them up. He dies. So they make his aid the bad guy. They do nothing but cut parts of themselves off and make up stories about their abuse so they can sell their story when they get out. They also off each other so that the royalties get split less ways.

No one rescues them and they kill the sponsor (who wasn’t really dead) so he can’t tell their story. I don’t remember the exact ending because it was dull. I was more offended by the lack of anything interesting than anything else in the book.
