Any of you just immediately clocked a twist? As someone uniquely bad at guessing surprises in film and TV, I still can’t believe I saw billboards for an upcoming show called “The Good Place” while driving and immediately thought, “Huh, bet it’s actually the bad place.”
I clocked get out immediately because I'm a massive fan of the underrated The Skeleton Key. Still an excellent time at the movies!
“Skeleton Key” good, agreed!
Once everything got set up in ARLINGTON ROAD and the story proper kicked in, I said the ending aloud *as a joke* and when it actually happened everyone I was watching with turned and collectively gave me the foulest goddamn look🤣
I watched BSG with an old bestie who was a big fan and insisted I watch them. The second a certain someone walked on screen I pointed to them and declared them a cylon. Four seasons later, I was proven correct when they were revealed as the final model. I will never be able to recreate that high.
In middle school my best friend Richard and I would go see movies together 3 times a month and having never seen it, he guessed the twist for What Lies Beneath, The Sixth Sense, and predicted key plot points of a few others. I still think about his uncanny ability for that shit 25 years later!
Ya know that one movie about the alien squids who speak in circles? I guessed it was about one stuff just from the trailer when it was first dropping. Made my buddy mad that I called it when we went to see it. I said "she's gonna see the future and see someone died"
Secret Window First line of internal monologue I was like “oh I see what this is”
See, that’s smart. I don’t think I clocked it all until the labored “Why’d you put it on?” / “I dunno” re: Shooter’s hat.
Was also weird to watch the season three close of “Lost” and think halfway through, oh, the nurse is giving him that look cuz his dad’s dead, cuz we’re in the future.
Any time there's a character that only ever interacts with one other character, I think "This is a Sixth Sense/Fight Club situation" and I'm usually on target.
Yes! After a couple scenes of that, my bullshit detector goes “Wait, no one else has acknowledged or spoken with this character.”
I watched one of those movies (not a movie you’d expect to have a supernatural element) with someone who told me ahead of time there’d be a huge twist, and then he got really mad when I guessed it as soon as the ghost showed up.
I guessed it about Back Swan, and I’m still not sure I was wrong.
I guessed the ending of The Village reading the premise in an Entertainment Weekly.
I called it on Sinister.
