If you could go into a movie/tv show/book/ whatever and warn someone that something bad is gonna happen (you're gonna get killed, you're gf will break up) if he does something wrong, would you do it?

Like, when the audience sees the shadow of the murderer behind the guy and you wanna shout “TURN AROUND YOU DAMN FOOL!”

I’m too sadistic for that. Schadenfreude rocks! I paid 8 dollars to see someone get disemboweled in front of me, and darn it, I’m gong to get my money’s worth.

I’d probably give a heads up to Yoda that a freak named Anakin will eventually become a Sith Lord and make everyone’s lives miserable. All the better to snuff him out right then and there.

No, because then the movie/ book/ tv show wouldn’t be as good.

No. I want to experience it just as the artist who created the work intended.

No, but I do want to slap the shit out of the teenagers in the shorts and bikini tops that hear a noise in the attic and run up there to see what it is.

I would tell every ‘new guy’ going on an away mission on star trek… Just don’t go on that mission man, don’t do it. Not in the cards for ya today buddy.

I would head on into Rebel Without a Cause. At first I was going to say I would stop the knife fight at the observatory, but upon further reflection I would stop the drag race at the beginning. That way that guy wouldn’t die and they could all be friends and plan a sock hop together! If they wanted to keep the title they could plan the sock hop with a racy theme. Now theres some rebellion for you!

I’d like to go in The Great Gatsby and tell that fucker he’s gonna die. Therefore it would not be a ‘classic’ and I would not have spent an entire year of English talking about that shit.

Also, King is right. If your character’s name starts with Ensign, you have 28 minutes to live.

@KingMalefic But the fun of Star Trek is killing red-shirts. They die so that we don’t have to. It’s a sacrifice Kirk is willing to make (note to self, try to be around red-shirtted people, you could become immortal)

@mrswho: I own a surprising number of red shirts, god help me.

But most say awesome things like South Korea’s got Seoul. So I think I’m safe, yes? Because of my level of awesome?
