On Spoilers

There's some value and pleasure in watching a film you know nothing about, but this newsletter will not be safeguarding that experience. On the late-lamented podcast Switchblade Sisters, they used to say, "It's not what happens, but how it happens, that makes a movie worth watching." I agree. I'd add that I can't write meaningfully about movies without giving away some of their contents. I try to warn readers ahead of time, but expect spoilers, of some kind, with respect to every film discussed in this newsletter. To avoid them, watch before reading.
