I don't really see the point of this shirt. Wait, I see it exactly. It's for attention-whoring people who consider consider people's "outrage" as their own entertainment because they feel as though they are "creating controversy" and "stirring up the world." No, in fact, you are ruining some well-told stories through the art of film for complete strangers.
I can already predict some people's line of thinking. "Oh, you take entertainment too seriously." "These are already popular movies, so you probably knew all of it anyway." "I just love the idea of pissing people off." Is that how attention-starved you are? That you would soil entertainment for other people just to rile them?
Come on! If that is how you want to bother people and make a stand or whatever the hell you are doing, why do it in such a passive-aggressive way and buy a shirt that spoils endings to movies? No political message, no human rights message, just ruin some movies.
"But people who get angry about this will be awakened to the value that they place on entertainment." Oh, screw that noise. You bought this shirt on
threadless, expensive, high-fashion shirts that require you to vote for hours on stylized robots with spatter effects behind them placed cleverly in the bottom corner of the shirt. I think we know your value on entertainment.
It bothers me because some of the films are good movies and the shock value is like that guy in the theatre who shouts "BOO!" at a high tension point in a movie: You are leeching attention and power from someone who worked infinitely harder to create it. While I'm personally not bothered that someone ruined
The Wicker Man, I know that there would be a hell of a lot of angry pretentious folk if the shirt read the following literature
spoilers:
Note: I had a list of spoilers from famous novels here, but I only planned to have it up long enough to see if people were OUTRAGED that I would do that. According to the comments, they absolutely were. Now that the point is made that spoilers are relative to the audience and you shouldn't judge what people will be affected by, I took them down because the Threadless community told me that they don't want THOSE up there. Whoa! Apparently none of them are film majors.
And by the way, some of you need to look up the (internet) definition of "Troll." This
shirt is more of a troll than I am.
