- msg 15y agoWhat is the statute of limitations on spoiling? That is a twelve year old book. Serious question.
- Unseelie 15y agoChildren keep coming of age for specific media..I only read it last year. My dad read it this winter, my brother will probably read it this summer... I'd argue the statute of limitations on spoiling should be the same as murder. Not to suggest its quite as serious
- allwein 15y agoAt some point, spoilers have to have a statute of limitations. It's been 12 years since that book came out. Likewise, Bruce Willis was dead the entire time; Vader is Luke's father; and Rosebud was his sled.
- maayank 15y agoWell, yeah, but these are all memes wildly spread. Cryptonomicon (sadly) not so much. I just think it would have been a nice gesture... 7 letters, not that much of an effort. Of course, it's not a crime, I wouldn't deem anyone a douche because they forgot to forewarn in the heat of discussion. They should do a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode on this one :P
- Unseelie 15y agoI don't get the rosebud reference, so...you've apparently messed up some twist for me. Thanks for that.
- getsat 15y agoIt's a reference to what is considered to be the greatest film of all time, Citizen Kane.
- morganpyne 15y agoHmm, according to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizen_Kane#Rosebud http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizen_Kane#Rosebud Rosebud may actually be referring to something a bit more fun than a sled ;D
- javert 15y agoI mean, that incident is buried somewhere deep in the bowels of the book. Nobody would know how that is applicable until they actually get right to that part, anyway. It's not like "Dumbledore dies."
