Obviously false but actually true?

Not to mention, the line "if you already knew a movie, you wouldn’t watch it" is falsified by Star Wars fans too numerous to count, and other cult movies. (RHPS anyone?)

We don't watch movies or read books to know the ending.

Not exclusively to know the ending, but at least for me that's one of the reason, and I would enjoy it much less if I knew it.

(In my case at least, this is more true about books than about films, so I'd rather not see a movie based on a book if I think I might want to read the book, until I've read it.)
