Public Service Announcement from Hinckley:

If you're discussing something new and exciting, say for example Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens, and you want to talk about something that would spoil a good part of the movie for people who haven't seen it, use spoiler tags. Thank you.

Example:

[spoiler] I'm a movie–spoiling jerk[/spoiler]
