All I know is that when I'm reading something about an older film I haven't seen, but plan on it, I immediately stop reading the post if it even slightly appears that it may ruin the film.

I pesonally havent watched some movies when I already known the ending. (The Others, Unbreakable).

This doesn't bother me since I've already seen it, but I saw a different trailer for Saw III on TV today, and it showed way too much of the traps and whatnot. It didn't really give away any "crucial" information, but it showed way too much of the movie. It basically took a second or two of most of the major...
