There exists a certain type of person who can't see a movie unless they have already seen every single frame of footage on the internet somewhere. These people download scripts, swap bootlegged versions of a movie with unfinished special effects, and then complain that their stolen content didn't meet their high standards. Then they yell at their moms that they'll be upstairs in a few minutes for pizza bites, after they finish flaming some noob for not seeding his torrents properly.
These people mostly frequent Ain't It Cool News, headed by an orange Hutt named Harry Knowles. They're mostly harmless until they start discussing plot spoilers in public.
As for Knowles himself, he's a useful idiot for the movie industry. If you can't get a nice quote for your poster or DVD cover, just bribe Knowles with a studio tour, a cameo, or some other token gesture. He calls them "pwesents," and they guarantee he'll give a good review of your flick.
I always wonder where these people get the time and energy to find out all this stuff. I usually get by with a time-honoured technique known as 'not reading it'.
I cannot say that I disagree.

The video games industry suffers from the same disease.
