I like spoilers. They may reveal some detail in the creative choices the director has made (though never enough to make a solid judgement about them), but they rarely convey the editing or pacing (P.J.'s favorite word!) of the final film, which are what give it the most emotional impact as a whole, I think. After all, I already know the basic story. I knew Shelob was a great big spider, I knew Ents looked like trees that talked, etc. So the spoilers aren't really spoilers. They just whet your appetite for how things are going to fit together on film.
