Just a quick question.

I find shaky-cam more annoying. Every episode of 24 looks like the cameraman really need to go for a piss.

It's not a bad style, but sometimes it feels overused.

I hate spoilers. I hate them so much that I impose media blackouts on myself for games that I want to play. I really want to play Dark Souls 2, and it's really hard to avoid every piece of information about the game. But if you set your mind to it, it's possible.

All I knew about Skyrim for about a year was that it was snowy and maybe had dragons.

I saw the very first trailer for Dark Souls 2 and I haven't seen or heard of any details since then.

I don't mind it. Yesterday I saw The Anchorman 2, and it started with a scene that happens near the end so I got to laugh at it twice.

I very much dislike it. And I also very much dislike the next scene that has the text, "12 hours earlier" (or whatever time frame they used). Every time I see that technique used I sort of groan in annoyance. I agree that it's like a spoiler. And then in the middle of the episode they waste the time to show you the complete scene a second time. My own personal opinion is that they should either skip the preview scene entirely, or continue from there without going back to an earlier point in time. But that's just me. I'm happy for you if you like it when that happens, because it seems to happen more and more often.

It's amazing what you learn when you try to avoid spoilers. Even going to IMDB to see who's in a TV show you want to watch could spoil something for you. Say you notice that a certain character is only in 20 episodes while everyone else is in 30. You know that character is going to leave the show somehow.

Boom, you just spoiled a bit of it for you.

Yes, I hate that in every form of media. Even books do that sometimes which is why I avoid even reading summaries by this point.
