Someone show me the law that says that the media has to comply with the wishes of Hollywood and keep key plot details of movies a secret. I sure as heck wish someone had told me that chick in the Crying Game was a dude, that's for sure.

LOL!!!!!

Just as I knew what was to become of the female boxer(I didn't waste my dime on the flick), I knew beforehand about the chick/dude in The Crying Game. Never spent my hard earned money on that movie either.

It's not a law -- it's an issue of consideration. I don't like knowing too much about a movie before I see it. Even trailers show too much, in my opinion.

I don't think portrayal of an issue equals advocacy. If a movie promotes healthy debate about a touchy subject, fine. Simply watching a movie or seeing something objectionable is not going to change my principles. Clint Eastwood shouldn't be vilified for this fine film.
