Blind spots

Wow... I guess I'm a bit of a snob and I just never thought about it - certainly not what I usually think of myself as. I was just talking to a co-worker about last night's Academy Awards, and the fact that RotK tied Titanic for number of nominations. She commented that everyone knew how Titanic ended, and I replied that everyone really knew how the Lord of the Rings trilogy turned out, too.

She turned around and said, "So does he really destroy that ring, or what? No, never mind, I didn't see it yet, don't spoil me."

I was surprised at the completeness of my surprise. I guess it's just a blind spot.

You're not a *snob*, you're just from a different culture than she is. :)

Evidently, though that particular blind spot still surprised me. My first reaction was "Oh, but haven't you read the books?" *G*

Then again, I'm sure there are things I'm completely ignorant of that would shock her - pop culture type stuff, likely.
