The same goes for me and books. At some point...
*kh.... huuhhh* "LUKE.... I AMYOUR FATHER."
And just like that, all of Star Wars was ruined for me by the age of four. I hadn't even seen any of the movies yet, but by 1989, this was such a commonly said phrase in American culture that any chance of me being surprised by the most important revelation of the trilogy was lost forever. I still don't revere the movies nearly as much as those of you in your thirties and beyond, and I think this is one of the main reasons. I don't like knowing what's going to happen before it does. Suspense is cool stuff.
