Don't Tell Kelly Skidmore You Plan to See an M. Night Shyamalan Film
During the House budget debate, Rep. Kelly Skidmore, D-Boca Raton, violated one of the chief laws of human society. She offered plot spoilers for a movie on the House floor. Comparing the House budget to Shutter Island, Skidmore ruined the movie for anyone in the audience who had not seen it. The Martin Scorsese film has a number of plot twists and surprises and Skidmore talked about every single one of them in detail. She gave away the plot. She gave away which characters surprise the audience. She even gave away what the bad guys were up to.
I'd go into the details of what she said and offer quotes but some of us still treasure surprise endings.
UPDATE:
House members really need to stop watching movies. Rep. Esteban Bovo, R-Hialeah, just said he watched 300 and said he felt like one of the Spartans but, instead of fighting invading Persians, he was fighting taxes. So does that mean Bovo and all his allies get defeated after a noble stand? All the Spartans die at the end of the movie. Just ask Herotodus. Or better yet Kelly Skidmore.
