I saw America’s Sweethearts in the theatre and all I remember was thinking Kiki deserved better than John Cusack’s character and wishing everyone had gone their separate ways in the end. It was very disappointing.
I’m not sure if we used the word “spoiler” at the time, but I remember when The Empire Strikes Back came out being asked not to give away the ending.
I guess we did say spoiler, because there’s the Weird Al Yankovic song Nature Trail to Hell that has in the lyrics “Please don’t reveal the secret ending to your friends, Don’t spoil the big surprise…” I looked and it was from 1984. (I don’t watch horror films, but find that song very amusing).

YES! She deserved *so much better* than him!
Great point on spoiler research. Guess Gen X IS the culprit…
