Several years ago i went to see a screening of Things to Come, the tremendous 1936 adaptation of H. G. Wells's post-apocalyptic (and then some!) novel [1]. The writer and film critic Kim Newman gave a little introductory talk about the film. At some point, he referred to something that happens halfway through; a shout came from the audience, "Oi! Spoilers!". Newman was so thrown by the idea that talking about the plot of a famous 75-year-old film might be considered a spoiler that he stopped his talk and walked offstage. Which was a shame, as he's very interesting, but the film was great, so it was alright. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atwfWEKz00U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atwfWEKz00U
