I, who crusade against spoilers, have occasionally committed worse. I
usually just wear a hair shirt for a couple of days. I can loan you mine...
What's a bitch is that, e.g., the *trailer* (iirc) gives away who the
villain is. Sure, so does the movie within 5 minutes... but it does at
first pay a little lip-service to some low-level misdirection. I figure
the studio said, "We want clips. Screw the plot." Typical, to be
sure... but that means that few screenwriters should ever consider using
an early far-reaching surprise.
(In answer to your subject-header... yes, anyone who ever wants to see
Brian Cox killed is a very bad person...)
