Dumb bit in a movie (Unbreakable)
ok in Unbreakable when it is showing Elijah (samuel l jackson) in his early days where his mum puts a present outside for him, and he goes to get it...
he opens the present, sees its a comic book, his mum says something along the lines of:
"I bought a whole bunch of 'em, there'll be one waiting for you whenever you feel like going outside...they say this one has a surprise ending"
OH WAY TO GO MUM, JUST SPOIL IT.
Say he was just expecting a run-of-the-mill ending, the surprise would have been lovely, or even YAY. but no, it's no surprise anymore, he'll be reading through and approaching the end...knowing that there will be a surprise, thus negating the "surprise" part of the "surprise ending"
