Can you figure out what happens?

While you are watching a movie, or a TV show or even reading a story, are you keen to foreshadowiing?
I have always had an eye for details since I was a kid, and these days I don't even watch that many movies and I find most of them just terribly predictable. I can always figure out who's going to get pregnant, who dies, who has a dark past, etc.
Is it just me, or are there others like me out there?
If there's a lot of us, maybe its time for a new style of movie-making. w

Hi olisaur. Yes, I can tell with many movies what will happen next, especially if someone is going to die. I seem to know whom it will be. Because they are acting very careless and dumb in the movie. And I can figure out whom the killer could be on certain movies too. I watch for strange behavior that makes them look guilty. I am pretty good at figuring out what will happen next in a movie.

I can usually tell how a show or movie will turn out. They are all variations of a few stories and it's not often that there is a creative writer who throws in a twist that you would not expect. "Bones" surprised me last night (tv show) but most shows are generally predictable. That's why I don't watch much tv and rarely spend money to go to the theater.

We do share something like I can predict what will happen to
the movies in the end but not all the time. Which is good because
watching a movie and you happen to know already the ending is very boring.
In some cases I prefer not to have this kind of ability.

There are so many movies and TV shows with familiar plots, so I can pretty much predict what's gonna happen next. I like figuring out who is the real villain or killer in suspense movies, and I don't easily forget those unexpected twists even though it could be disappointing sometimes. I can usually tell who and what is.

i actually say that a movie is good or bad if i can predict what's going to happen next or if i'm able to identify who the killer is. it's good if i missed. it's bad of i figured it out before it concluded. there are a lot of predictable movies and a handful of very good ones. i'm always happy and estatic if i don't get to figure it out. most of the time i could, but not always.

yes i have some of those too. maybe its because we watch a lot of tv shows already and we can predict the story line. so it tends to be boring already. though CSI i can say is one of those unpredictable stories plus House is kinda cool also. there are shows that are predictable and there are shows that are not. some shows has different cast but the story plot is just the same and the same.

i dont figure out what happens when i watch tv and movic.although i am interested in one of them.but sometimes it would not happended what i expected and make me regret the fate of actor.actually i find that character's fate like my life.when i make effort for one thing and expect good result.but something make me disappointed.so i think that theater like my life.i often treat it with normal mood.
